Wan to buy a smartphone for my dad as birthday gift.

He already said, he wan to go to d Samsung store to choose his own phone. As I know him pretty well, he will likely pick a phone wit just 64GB storage in order to save my money.

Is 64GB sufficient for old folk like my dad? Does install extra storage Sim card help?

*his current phone also 64GB.
* he join a few of whatsapp & wechat group.
*almost No gaming

As far as I know..Samsung no longer sells 64GB storage phones.

64GB is definitely not enough... especially for whatsapp...

u sure? A21s still got 64GB with 6GB RAM

adequate as long as he's rajin enough to transfer the content out

Really? Guess they still did... Bcs i saw many of their phones start at 128GB nowadays..

If got extra SD slot.can add if not. Depends on hik.all whatsapp data downloaded? I still have my mi a2 64 ebough but i dont auto download all. If download, not important I delete.

depends lo if storing photo and video confirm not enough

A51 128GB better
The prob is not every app can transfer to SD card
So main ROM must be big

Good enough. Teach him to enable photo/video saving for certain pax/group only. Else this will double the usage, overall enough. No need to become like other people keeping 10 years worth of useless chit chat and terabytes of them. Be practical.

old people (like my dad) like to take and receive photos and videos. 64gb might be enough, but ur phone does take up abit of the 64gb for software and all those unnecessary apps, doesnt it?

But that being said, if its not for work, 64gb should be fine!

64GB is not enough, especially for elderly that do not bother to clean their whatsapp junk photos and videos.

Like my mother, too many wechat whatsapp group,
Whatsapp media already near 10GB
Phone 32GB is not enough

64gb rom is minimum requirement now days

128gb better if you dun subscribe to cloud services.

if dont install games or take photos/videos should be enough.

my mom using 64gb... enough. but need to take note of those whatsapp photo/video. because that is the one that take a lot of space. need to clean it occasionally. (64gb or 128gb, eventually it will be filled if these are not deleted)

not everyone is the same. me not smartphone media social addict.
32gb is enough

My dad just changed to Samsung A02s, 2GB RAM and 64GM ROM. so far it's enough. but i got buy him extra 512GB sd card, and is expandable up to 1TB, so no problem
