I think it depends sometimes on what youre using it for or the situation… If youre on holiday and recording a lot of video, but dont have the opportunity or ability to sync or upload it, it could prove very useful.Agree with you on the ram but I still have 140GB free on my 256GB phone, and could easily fit my entire photo library on a 512GB phone. I really think 256 is fine for a large amount of people.
But youre right, for alot of people you can get by with much less.
