256G or 512G? There are some tricks to choosing mobile phone memory

In order to meet the needs of users for storage, the memory of mobile phones now basically starts at 64G, and the highest has reached 1T. In order to meet the needs of different users, manufacturers have set 128G, 256G, and 512G between 64G and 1T. So what is the best memory for us consumers?

The answer is that the bigger the better, as long as the purchase funds allow.

No matter how tight the money is, don't choose 64G

Why do I say that? Because 64G is the least cost-effective option. Many people are still using mobile phones from a few years ago, most of which are 64G. I believe that the storage space of current mobile phones should only be a few GB, and that is without installing too many applications and large games. So if you want to change your phone, don't choose 64G anymore, you should at least start with 128G.

There is no way. Mobile applications nowadays take up too much memory. For any application, although the installation package is only about 100MB, it will directly occupy hundreds of or even close to 1G of storage space once installed, such as QQ and WeChat. After you use it for a while, you will find that several GB of storage space is gone. Just like what Xiaomi and other manufacturers said at the press conference, "small and beautiful" software, with the continuous increase of functions, there is no longer a concept of "small" now. And those large mobile games are even more powerful. When installing, if there is no reserved space of several GB, you will be prompted directly that it cannot be installed. Clear enough storage space before trying to install. And the memory occupied by these applications is still increasing. For users, the larger the mobile phone memory, the better.

So now 128G has become the basic choice, and this storage space is also the choice of most people now. When mobile phone manufacturers prepare stocks, they also prepare the most mobile phones with this storage range. Although 128G mobile phones can meet the needs of daily life, for those who like to take photos and shoot videos, 256G is the best choice. After all, the camera effect of mobile phones is getting better and better, and the storage space occupied by a single photo is getting larger and larger. A small photo may only be a few megabytes, and a large photo may be tens of megabytes. Girls who love taking photos will store hundreds of photos in their phones.

Due to the rise of short videos, many people shoot videos in their daily lives and upload them to relevant short video websites. For these videos, many people generally do not delete the original videos on their mobile phones after uploading.

However, for many users who love taking photos and videos, they may feel that it is not worth spending extra money to choose 256G memory, but they don’t want to delete the data directly. There is actually a good solution for this. You can choose cloud storage and upload all photos and videos to cloud space. QQ Space, Baidu Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, etc. all have a lot of free storage space available.

This method may be more troublesome. It is okay when uploading, but it is slow when downloading back, especially for Baidu Cloud. If you don’t have a membership, the download speed can be described as turtle speed. Of course, in addition to these third-party storage spaces, current mobile phone manufacturers will also provide about 5G storage space. Uploading to this place and downloading back is very fast. In fact, it is equivalent to giving away several GB of storage space for free when buying a mobile phone.

At the same time, for users who do not have enough storage space but do not want to buy a new phone with larger storage space, mobile phone manufacturers have also provided solutions. For example, Huawei has launched a mobile phone memory upgrade service. By paying a certain amount of money, you can upgrade the memory to 512G, and the starting price is 369. The price is not low, but compared with the money you have to spend on a new phone, this money is not worth mentioning. At present, only Huawei is promoting this service. I hope other manufacturers can follow up. This service can be said to be a great benefit for many users. However, it may be difficult to promote it. After all, if everyone does this, fewer people will buy new phones.

As for 512G and 1T storage space, it depends entirely on personal needs. For example, Apple launched a mobile phone with 1T of memory this year. Considering that Apple phones can be used for four or five years without many problems, the amount of data stored will be very large, so the seemingly unnecessary large storage has become necessary.

Finally, a suggestion for users who need to change their phones due to insufficient memory is to choose a phone with twice as much memory as your current one. Because mobile phones now have a function called one-click phone change, except for a few data that cannot be transferred, all other data can be transferred. There is no point in choosing a phone with the same memory.

Storage anxiety affects many people, so if money allows, buying a mobile phone with large memory is the best choice. Don't ask for the best, but ask for bigger.
