You might want to delete this before you get in trouble for leaking the secret phones you have access to that make you think the S23+ is a low-end phone. Time traveler? CP0 Agent?
The S23+ isn’t exactly Samsungs flagship model but I can definitely see your point. It’s the same on Apple’s side. It’s there on the mid range. Just not on the low range
If the cost per TB is the same and they’re buying tens of PBs anyway, large commercial customers want fewer, bigger drives. That means fewer slots in servers, fewer storage controllers, and possibly even fewer servers.
Onboard storage on cellphones is all about how much they can charge and how many they can sell. 256GB extra for $200 is about 10x higher than the $100/TB flash storage can be gotten for.
Soon, Xiaomi’s Redmi phones are now routinely shipping with 256GB option, so if that’s the base on that line a 512GB default or cheap option won’t be far off.
Does this mean we will see 512GB internal phone storage becoming mainstream for low end phones?
Is it already mainstream… for the people that can afford it (and are willing to pay for it).
True, I was referring to low end phones.

S23+ is not even midrange

“Low end?”

The highest spec of a flagship model, while good to see, is not what I would call mainstream.

Mid range? It’s over $1100!
I meant it’s there on Apple’s mid range. The one right before the flagship
Apple can shove it. $500 is middle of the road for the rest of us peasants
Apple sells a US$429 phone. I’m just saying the middle of Apple’s range, at a similar price to Samsung’s, has up to 512gb of storage
Samsung 😂
By the time is is, it won’t be sufficient. You’ll wish they sold 2TB
Angry Birds is suddenly going to be a 60GB game with an open world, real flying, and large scale multiplayer raid fights.
Nah it’ll be 60gb, but somehow the same game, and lots of cached ads
