So, on my phone now, I have the new number on the esim, which I use for the unlimited data. I ported the original free line number to Tracfone, using a physical SIM. It is a great number, so I wanted to keep it. That is what I was using before I got the second free line.
Worst case I can just pick up a lightly used 8 or 9 pro once the values drop. The only reason I'm even considering upgrading at this point is because I want a phone with a decent glass screen protector, and google finally stopped that nonsense after the 7 series.
in this day and age, you need minimum 256GB
also I believe the 128GB does not have UFS 4.0 or Zoned UFS. Still using the slower less efficient UFS 3.1
And just like ETFs of old, these new 3yr "lease to own" phone contracts, the amount you owe goes go down over time. Personally, I will never sign a 3 year phone contract.

I'm not saying 128GB is enough for everyone. I don't game on my phones, so it's not like I have a bunch of apps taking up a ton of space. I do agree that in 2025 the base should be 256GB and this is Google acting like auto manufacturers who lock basic features behind trim upgrades so they can milk consumers. It just doesn't matter much to me, personally, and so the base 128GB variants are fine. I'm getting the Pixel 10 Pro for $500-ish since they're giving me $105 for my wife's shattered P7P (which the credit card insurance already cut me a $600 check for).
And yes, for the P10 128GB is UFS 3.1. 256GB and 512GB are UFS 4.0; only 1TB is ZUFS 4.0. Your average person isn't going to notice a bit of difference in UFS 3.1 vs 4.0, though, let alone ZUFS. The energy savings of UFS 4.0 are marginal compared to other energy drains in phones, as well. Do I think 256GB UFS 4.0 should be the lowest offered? Sure. Does it really matter? No, not for most people.
