With the Fairphone 4 128 GB model you would pay 329 CHF for the phone and 101 to 109 CHF for a 1TB card. That&#8217;s about 440 CHF and you&#8217;d have an absurd amount of storage. Absurd because you never want to lose a device with that much data on an SD card.<\/p>\n<p>Having said this I have Google One Drive with two terabytes of storage for off-site backups as well as Photoprism and Immich for &#8216;local&#8217; backups. Any photos and videos I take with the phone are backed up.<\/p>\n<p>Usually I buy a phone with 128 GB of memory because it&#8217;s the cheapest viable iphone and because iCloud is only affordable up to 200GB. After that it becomes 120 CHF per year, and I am not ready to pay so much for a cloud service that makes it hard to retrieve data once it is uploaded to their cloud.It&#8217;s when I had an 8+ as a primary phone that I realised this limitation.<\/p>\n<p>Plenty of computers and laptops and computers do not have one terabyte of storage so this is excessive. This was an experiment. It worked, and now, I could switch back to a more reasonably sized SD card. Even 128 GB has been enough for me for years.<\/p>\n<h2>And Finally<\/h2>\n<p>The simple act of adding an SD card reader makes it simple to upgrade a phone within seconds, at a fraction of the cost. When I chose between both Fairphone 4 versions I considered whether 6gb of ram or 8gb of Ram was better. In the end I settled for the cheaper option but upgrading was simple.<\/p>\n<p>With an iPhone I know that within a few weeks or months I will need to carry an external battery. With the fairphone I can swap the battery when it starts to last for a shorter amount of time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>If you wanted an iPhone with a terabyte of storage it would cost you 1549 CHF for the iPhone 16 Pro.
