Steps

  1. 1Photos: 3000 × 3 MB ÷ 1024 = 8.8 GB
  2. 2Videos: 300 × 100 MB ÷ 1024 = 29.3 GB
  3. 3Apps: 80 × 0.5 = 40 GB
  4. 4Total = system + photos + videos + apps + music + other = 108.1 GB
  5. 5Pick the smallest tier ≥ total × 1.2 → 256GB
  • Vendors count GB as 10^9 bytes while the system counts GiB (1024-based), so a "256 GB" phone shows ~238 GB available — the 12–15 GB system reserve here covers that.
  • Photo/video sizes vary: 12MP JPEG ≈ 3–5 MB, 48MP ≈ 8–12 MB; 1080p30 ≈ 100 MB/min, 4K30 ≈ 350 MB/min.
  • Cloud photo backup + offloading chat caches can cut 30–50% of local usage.
