32 GB or 128 GB? Get Device Protection or no?

[FreakyLocz14]

I owned a 32 GB Nexus 6P that ended up lost. That's the reason I'm considering 3rd party insurance over Google Device Protection: the lack of coverage for loss/theft. Without that, the policy is worthless.

I don't download media to my phone's storage. The bulk of the storage is used for apps, photos (that end up getting uploaded to the cloud anyway), word documents, etc. 32 GB should be fine, no?

I'd definitely go with the 128G version. As for device protection, if it gives you peace of mind, I say do it. Better to be safe than sorry.

I still haven't found a need for more than 32 GB, so I'd chose to save a few bucks.

I just got the Moto Z Force about a month ago. It's 32Gb and has SD card, so I wasn't too concerned. I've installed every app I use and then some, and only used 14 of the 23GB available. I have a 128GB SD card installed but haven't really touched it. I also do not store much media on my device. The photos are all on Google Photos, so not many kept local.

If I were buying, I'd save the money and go 32GB.

I've used 70 GB on my 6P. It's always better to go with more. If you go with 32 GB (of which you're really not getting 32 GB for apps/media because of the OS partition) and suddenly need more space, you're out of luck.

It seems that the Blue Pixel is only available with 32 gb of ram.

LOL HUH!? Wow never thought they'd need to make a phone with 32 gb of ram!!!

I got the 128 GB one. I didn't buy the protection.

 

[RickInHouston]

128 and 'yes' on the protection. I have a 6P with a cracked screen right now.

32 or 128G?....well depends on your needs. I would get device protection based on the cost of this device. That's just me.

 

[Rocky5000100]

128GB for sure. 32GB is just enough to get by.

I got device protection for the first time ever, just because of the cost. If I had to buy a new one, that's another 900 gone. This way, if I break it, I'll only have to pay an addition $79 deductible.

I've never broken a phone before, but it didn't bother me too much because I always had cheap options available.

I went 32GB with device protection It's going to be a long 15 days

I grabbed one with 32GB. I don't install many apps or anything, so I think 32GB will be plenty for me. I also got the protection plan. *piece of mind*.

No doubt. A LONG 15 days!!!!

If Device Protection covered loss and theft, I would buy it. I'm shopping around for 3rd party insurance.

P.S.
The 128 GB is all sold out.

I just looked at my N6P and I've used 9 GB of the 111 GB available. I think I should've ordered a 32 GB Pixel.

I'd pick the 128 GB version, you never know when you might need more space. Also definitely go for the device protection, just in case.

Keep checking. One of the guys on my team did and it pops back for a short time.

It popped up again, but it says 6-7 weeks. I placed an order anyway, but is there any chance it will come sooner?

I am hoping they will start shipping them earlier than stated so we can all get them .
