Is it already mainstream… for the people that can afford it (and are willing to pay for it).

Does this mean we will see 512GB internal phone storage becoming mainstream?

The highest spec of a flagship model, while good to see, is not what I would call mainstream.
WiseMoth@lemmy.world 1 year ago
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
thecam@lemmy.world 1 year ago
True, I was referring to low end phones.

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?

Time traveler confirmed. I’m assembling the team.

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.

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.
