128GB baseline storage for the Pixel 9 Pro XL feels stingy, huh?

I've lost track of how many times we've said "128GB isn't enough!"

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: 128GB is not enough storage for a top-of-the-line flagship smartphone anymore. Especially one touting advanced multimedia, such as the renowned photography and new 8K video upscaling capabilities of the new Pixel 9 series.

When investing in a new handset that can last up to seven years, especially one that costs $999 or more, I don’t want to run out of space part way through the phone’s expected lifecycle.
