    That’s like eight good videos. It’s insane.

    Her current phone only has 16 GB storage, and no that’s not RAM. 🤣
    But what format video are you using? H265 Video at about 1.5 GB for a full movie look great on the phone. But needless to say she doesn’t use it for that at all.

    I looked at Sony when I bought my current phone, but I like big screens and a Sony with comparable features to my Xiaomi 13T Pro cost almost twice what I paid, and then it still only had half the storage.
    But message LED is a major feature IMO, it’s almost a Sony exclusive now.

      when you record video, It’s almost 4 MB a second in default, so you’re using up a gig every 2 and 1/2 minutes.

      sunset+walk on the beach, a gig.

      say 30 minutes of a video, and you’re between 15 and 20 gigs.

      Go to a concert, or a wedding, whatever and you just lost a huge percentage of your phone storage and you aren’t allowed to add more storage?

      insane, very consumer unfriendly

        The longest video I ever recorded was 18 years ago, about 10 mins, just to see what the camera was capable of with a new SD card I bought. Generally my videos are less than a minute now.
        Obviously you wouldn’t use a 10 year old phone for your use case.
        However my Xiaomi 13T Pro 512GB would probably be fine. But I currently only use 10% of the storage.
