Thought of as the best consumer camera available to date. This is what you get straight out of the box

Most flagship phones these days come with 64GB, 128GB or even 256GB internal storage.

Im sure like myself it doesn't take long to fill up your phone's internal storage. Well soon this won't be much of a problem as you'll be able to pick up a phone (at least from Samsung) with a massive 512GB of storage right out of the box.
