The 16G is small. The reason is the OS itself resides in that storage but was not told to customer Even when nothing is installed, the usable storage probably half already. The same goes to the RAM. Now I think 3GB is borderline requirement.

Memory bigger is better, some memory type will start lagging once the usage reached 70%.

My phone is 3gb.... external Sd card does not really utilised...

How much ram u think sufficient for next 2 years?

Anything more than 3gb RAM.
Anything more than 64gb memory.
Anything more than 1.7GHz Octa-core processor.


Anyone use Nubia b4?
(Phone very cheap but i duno the pros & cons of the phone)

my kelik using A series he say 8GB rom only lol

How many social media apps you are using now? These are the apps that eat most RAM. If it is running okay now, then I think 4GB should be suffice because very unlikely new social media will survive competing with the giants

Since you are mostly browsing, it should be enough I think. Now, 6GB is quite common on flagship probably due to customize GUI.

8GB phone cannot upgrade any apps. It will failed. I have old Sony T2. I need to downgrade apps back to original that comes with the phone to be able to make touch screen response bearable

Have to disable/ignore update request

32gb/3gb still running good for 2 years here

Huawei nova 3i price about Rm 1249.
128GB Internal Storage.

My phone is quite smooth... just these 1 month, when it a need to update apps, it will pop out, insufficient memory

I mean next 2 years....
Regret not taking 32Gb internal storage that time.
I,took 16+16, thought it's the same... (the sd card is free , fyi)

This is because your storage is running low. I think insufficient memory does not mean RAM but storage. The program downloaded and installed first before the old apps get deleted to prevent failure if upgrade failed halfway.

I'm using 3GB RAM and 32GB storage for many many years. Still on old Note 3 No cover no screen protector from day 1. Still looks decent despite discolored bezel metal frame.

Maybe new Huawei P20 will last you 2 years +... 4GB RAM and 128GB storage. Note I did not use ROM because ROM is Read Only Memory, wrongly used term for the phone

Note 9 came with 512gb
