There are a lot of things to consider when buying a phone. Storage size is one of the most important things to consider when purchasing a phone. There are a lot of sizes to choose from, especially as the phone becomes more capable.

We would like to know how much storage your phone has.

Although it's likely so we can spend money on higher storage configurations, many higher-end smartphones, like the S22 Ultra, don't offer expandable storage because they're too expensive. It can be difficult to choose when cost is involved. If you move up a storage size, the price will go up as much as $200, and many of the best phones already cost a penny.

Storage needs are evolving as camera technology improves. Cloud storage is an option, but it is also an additional monthly cost.

There are exceptions for high end phones. The slot on Sony's phones is important because they are often built for creators. In case that wasn't enough, the S10+ had up to 1 ton of storage with a card slot.

The reason for the lack of support for microSD cards on budget phones is that they hold less storage than flagship phones. The cheap phones make it easy to spend money on the best microSD cards.
