Uh, I still find that lots
I don’t think it is when cheap thumb drives are well above this and the phones are north of $1k.
The solid state storage in your average iPhone or high end android phone is a LITTLE BIT different from a shitty thumbdrive
Not really. Slightly faster? Sure. Hundreds of dollars faster? Absolutely not. You can get fast thumb drives for only a slight premium over the cheapest ones, which aren’t even that slow these days. They’re all solid state storage, dunno why you made that distinction.
A cheap off-brand SATA SSD is infinitely better than any USB flash drive. Storage in phones is insanely better than standard SATA SSDs. What are you even talking about?!
Right? My Pixel is also 128GB. I've got like 5 or 6 thousand Spotify songs, 3 gigs in my pocket casts cache, about 10 gigs of emulated games and dozens of apps and games. If you're struggling with 128 gigs on your phone, clean some shit off there. I've still got 30 gigs free.
It's lots until you realize they are upcharging you over 1000% on the higher storage trims
