How much phone storage do you need?

September 25, 2026

A quick guide to choosing storage for photos, apps, games, and everyday use.

How much phone storage do you need?

For calls, messaging, banking, and a modest photo library, 128 GB suits most people. Choose more storage if you keep large games, record plenty of video, or plan to use the same phone for several years.

Before you choose

Check how much space your current phone uses, then leave room for system updates and new apps.
