If you think that having 256GB storage on your mobile device is excessive, wait till you hear about whats coming next, 512GB storage smartphones. Talk about excessive spaces.
A rumour has been going around stating that the next Huawei phone might have this capability and this is already higher than that of the recent iPhone X and it is even larger than some models of the MacBook Pro.
Samsung started to make 512GB drives for phones back in December. While we don’t know if that’s what Huawei is using, it’s clear that the trend of large storage phones has begun. Massive amounts of storage in phones is a lot of fun and will be particularly useful for recording 4K video since every three minutes of 4K footage takes up about 1GB. You’d now hypothetically be able to record a full day of 4K video with Huawei’s 512GB phone. Also, if you’ve ever been trapped somewhere with no Wi-Fi or books, you could just watch the 4K video like a movie marathon.
To give you a rundown on what 512Gb means to your device, here is a small comparative guide:
