Is it a laugh or a cry? Basic Galaxy The S25 could have the same amount of storage as the model Galaxy S10e from 2019. Haven't we really moved on in 5 years?
There's a constant stream of leaks about what Samsung has in store for us in its flagship smartphone lineup in 2025. Now it is an expected but actually quite unpleasant news. Basic Galaxy The S25 is stuck at 128GB of storage, even though its bigger siblings start at 256GB. Is that fair? Especially when we don't have the option of 512GB variaWhat?

Of course it's disappointing. Not with respect to iPhones which Apple also holds up well, but rather to the numerous Chinese competitors, which do not skimp on storage. For example, OnePlus 12 and Xiaomi 14 already offer 256 GB of basic storage. Unexpectedly, this also applies to relatively cheap phones, such as the Vivo V40 SE. This is an Android for 5 thousand CZK, which also has 256 GB of basic memory. However, it must be said that it shares the same low bar with Samsung and AppleGoogle me in his Pixelech 9. Space for cloudThere is no answer. Flagships, of course, no longer offer space for a microSD card slot.

Information about the 128GB internal memory capacity of the base model was revealed leaker @MysteryLupin in a social network post X. He added that Galaxy S25+ will get 256 or 512 GB of space and Galaxy S25 Ultra 256 or 512 GB or 1TB memory capacity. Incidentally, Samsung did not upgrade the storage of its cheapest model in the series Galaxy With from Galaxy S10e from 2019. So it will be the sixth generation of the phone Galaxy With only 128GB of basic storage. It was the cheapest before Galaxy S9, which offered only 64 GB of space by today's standards. On the other hand, there was the option of expanding it via microSD.
It probably depends on the user. Personally, I only watch all my movies and videos online, I have completely lost the need to download anything, I don't play games on my phone, I don't take many photos and I don't record many in 4K. And what I need, I put on cloudOn my S23+ I had about 40GB of 256GB used and now on pixelI only have 9GB of 23GB on the 128. But there are a lot of people who take pictures and videos like crazy and keep everything on their phones for several years, so they nestIt's about 512GB. So I think 128GB still has its users like me, and the option of saving money for something I won't use seems okay to me.
I have it as a colleague. I have a 128GB iPhone mini and 40GB is occupied in it, I have an S23U with 512GB and less than 70GB is occupied and there are some games that I tried on it and did not uninstall. I am considering an iPhone 16Pro and I will take 128GB. I can connect an external drive for 4k ProRes recording, so I would not plan to shoot such a video.
Enough. Everything goes to cloud and I regularly clear the cache of what is no longer needed.
It depends, for some it is enough iPhone 14 Pro Max only a measly 128 GB. But these people take photos occasionally, almost never shoot videos, don't play games, basically they don't use the potential of a top phone at all, or else they go cloud like a passing fancy, but they'll pay a lot for the size if they throw in 4k 60fps hrd videos. And then for example me, who on cloud sir (NAS at home) and that's why I have an S24+ 512 GB. Music in flac also takes up a lot of space. For the record, I pay for Tidal, but I use PowerAMP, there is no better player, those goddamn apps that offer streaming services are just an attempt at a joke, settings, interface, options, equalizer, .... pathetic. My friend has it again iPhone 16 Pro 1 TB. 128 GB is a pittance these days, the system, applications, application data (e.g. maps) take up some of it, and only 80 GB is left. Apple that's what matters most, either you buy their cloud or you pay twice as much as for example Samsung.
If he wasn't already bored, he'd offer it too maxstill 128 GB.
