Google offers 128GB of storage for the Pixel 9 Pro and XL, but that's nowhere near enough for a flagship built to last seven years.

    My music library alone is nearly 280GB, and all the pictures/video I’ve taken are over 450GB. No way I’m fitting all that into 128GB. That doesn’t take into account any media I want to watch offline, or any games I may choose to load onto my phone.

    This is why I like having an micro SD card slot (and headphone jack) and don’t like that if I upgrade to a Pixel, I’ll lose it.

      how much music? pictures? also, why keep all your pics on a phone? offload them to your computer or cloud or something

        I do offload a lot of it, I have my own server, I run my own streaming service(s). But I like keeping my music library offline for scenarios when I don’t have internet available. I don’t really keep my photos all on my phone. Of course, Google would love it if I offloaded all my stuff to their cloud and Google Photos and such, and paid for the privilege instead of hosting everything myself or having an SD card.

        I just think 128GB is a pitifully small amount for anyone with any significant amount of media they want to carry.
