Other than the some need for 1.5TB combined, is there a good reason to get 512GB internal as opposed to 128GB internal and xxxGB external?

You're almost convincing me....I hate that the 512 is black only. I dont store apps externally but I have high res music files. I'm also not sure my 200GB sd card is fast enough for 8K recording. I bought it almost 4 years ago so I'm not sure if its adequate. Would have to look at the speed. A big card wont be cheap either.some apps do not allow using external storage.
considering how there is some minor cost of buying a storage card (however minimal), plus there is the additional RAM, i decided that i'm going for the 512gb so i won't have to buy an external card and would not have to think about having sufficient storage this time around at all.
just enjoy the fastest possible storage (internal built-in memory) and forget about memory capacity as 512gb will be sufficient for my needs.
all this for $200 more, a bit costly, but i'm willing to do it so i won't have to deal with external versus internal storage for any apps anymore this time around.
I understand what you're saying but they probably did some kind of consumer study that showed most consumers didn't want 512 in the S20. Had they made it 256 like the Note 10+ it probably would be more palatable. I hate that the Uktra 512 only seems to be available in black. I was all set to get the 128 but now I'm thinking that might be tight with 8K video. I'm not sure how well 8K would run on my SD card. Might have to get a faster card so like someone already mentioned by the time you buy a card you're up near the 200 dollar difference anyway.I'm still pissed off that Samsung isn't offering anything more than a 128gb model for the regular S20. I have the 512gb variant of the S10. It makes no sense how many steps backwards they took with this S20 line, for any improvements they also made. One step forward, one step back.
I agree, 128 is small as a starting point. There are some people who will not fill it but it should not have been the base. 256 was the base for the Note 10+. and it was cheaper by far.I can't understand why the ultra would even have an option for 128gb. 256 should have been the base option on a $1400 phone. For the price 512gb should be the base option. If they're gonna charge a premium price they shouldn't skimp on the basics. I would love to pay 0 down, but I'm waiting for the phone that I'll be able to enjoy for more than 7 or 8 months and if this one is it I want the bigger storage and RAM.
I would never buy a phone with only 128gb of internal space, at this point in time, and probably not 256 either. 512gb on board is a nice sweet spot. I don't need anything more than that. I have cloud storage for files and documents. I prefer to run apps from my phone, and not an SD card.

Does anyone know if this card based on the older standard would support 8K? It's a 90mb/s but it's not a V90 which is also 90mb/s but I'm not that up on cards and not certain if there is something else to the equation. My guess is it should.View attachment 316710

Internet search mentioned V30 and V90. Is it just about read and write speed or is there another secret ingredient. These SD card people are notoriously deviant.You'd need as least UHS-3 I think.
Just checked the storage on my note 10+ and I'm at 90gb used. With 8k video I would definitely go over 128 and I was really hoping to get away from SD cards. Looks like $200 down payment on the 512 ultra it is. Which sucks because I have to buy a $200 battery for my truck this week too.
I'm right there with you at 87GB out of 256. That's with no music stored. Just apps and maybe so photos because most everything is backed up to the cloud. 512 it's going to have to be. I'll have to eat pasta for a month and buy cheap bourbon.Just checked the storage on my note 10+ and I'm at 90gb used.
