That is the idea, but with only 8GB of internal storage, using Progressive Web Apps for things like Reddit would be best.

- tudelo 9y agoHah. I have a phone with 5GB (probably marketed as 6 but I don't remember) and you really can not have many apps installed at once. Add to it the fact that if you run something like Spotify it will cache like 1GB of data over a few days. I have something different every week. As a bonus, it keeps my home screen free of almost any icons...
- StudentStuff 9y agoIt almost certainly has 8GB of storage, but Android + Google Apps eats a bit under 3GB of space. Worst part is, when you update those Google Apps, the version of Gapps your phone shipped with isn't deleted :(
- kevin_thibedeau 9y agoThey key is to get a phone with microSD support. Then Spotify and other apps can put their data on the card and relieve pressure from the limited on board storage. You can also go for LineageOS with minimal to no GApps to free up some space on small memory phones.
- pishpash 9y agoIt's the perpetual software treadmill, bloat because the hardware can support bloat. If phones were not all 64GB monsters, devs would learn to be disciplined. Until the day phones give me next level miracles, there is no need for the specs they have. A good camera, a large battery, good ungimped radio bands, thems be thar necessities.
