Why a non-expandable memory

[PRGDR]

Probably because the price is so low that they want people to spend the extra money to get the 128 gig version instead of just buying a 3rd party sd card

Yes, that makes sense.

Design requires trade-offs. They cut corners to get the base price as low as they can.

En lo que a mi respecta, prefiero el dual sim a la capacidad de expandir la capacidad, yo necesito mas posibilidades de comunicaciòn que expandir la memoria, para es suficiente la memoria del one plus 5

 

[iCoerce]

I can't fill up my 64gb. Expandable memory isn't really needed

 

[scampinig]

I agree with you, I think it is enough 64, if for any this is not enough then you should consider buying the 128 GB, but the option to expand I think it is unnecessary

 

[PRGDR]

What is enough now might not be so later, and since there is a 128 GB version available for a price that it's not that much higher, I think that is the safest bet.

 

[badelhas]

Yeah, I cant see myself filling the 64Gb, yet alone the 128gb

It is tough right now, I agree, but who knows about the not so distant future. There was a time when 1TB disks were even huge for backup servers, and now it is quite OK (or even small) if you have lots of movies stored in your computer.

I wouldn't say it's *immense*, but it is pretty big. I could easily fill 100 GB with my music and PDFs if I wanted.

You badly need a thumb drive.

They were able to put in the option on the Huawei p10 to use either a 2nd Sim or an SD card. With just 64gb of internal memory though, I find I rarely even use my SD card. Just get external backup, whether via cloud or hdd

 

[Ahmedthegeek]

64 gb is ok but 128 is great you can copy photos and videos to your pc or an ext hdd if you fill the storage

Apparently they didn't use a Micro SD because it didn't guaranteed the performance they were going for with UFS 2:X (it's the same thing Xiaomi said about their Mi Flagships lacking this characteristic their redmis do have)

This is why you get a wireless networked hard drive to carry with you. Easy Peazy!

This is it. People love their car similes, so I'll say it's like putting a roof box on a Lotus Elise... Or your own quick car of choice.

Yeah. You get more storage, but at a huge performance cost.

It's also why all the manufacturers cut them for a generation... Crappy performance. They came back because people complained... Although that's more understandable if the max or even base storage is 32GB.
