Yeah. I've come to the conclusion I don't need any of the features of flagship phones anymore. I was picking Pixel's because they were a solid phone and did what I need at a reasonable price. Now, it looks like I'll be buying a mid ranger next time.

I strongly disagree with 128GB storage being useless. I'm not a betting man but I'll actually put money on claiming less than 40% of flagship phone users use over 128GB and actually I think it's more like just 30%. Chat GPT backs me up on this (not the greatest source of hard facts but it's a start). You're the journo, so journalise and let us know the actual figure.

Tech journos might need more but most of us don't photograph everything they see or spend all day playing games on them. Most of us use them for communicating with each other.

Why should I have to pay for 256GB when I won't use 2/3 of it?
