Anywhere from $300-$400. Can be extended to $450 should the phone be that good. Unfortunately, current phones are not that exciting or offer high enough built-in storage with/without sdcard support. So, I plan to keep using my phone until something really good comes along. Till then, I can wait a few years.
My current phone (realme narzo 60 pro) cost $340 and has 12GB of ram and 1TB of UFS 3.1 storage. No other phone offers that in sub $400 or even $500 price range. The company that created this phone did not do this again. The realme GT 6T and GT 6 both max out at 512gb storage variants. Meaning, an upgrade would be a downgrade in storage.
Out of curiosity, why do you need so much storage on mobile? Massive music library in FLAC or something?
I am totally content with 128GB. It's enough that I'll never run out of space for my usage. (Well, aside from photos, but those get backed up in full-resolution to Amazon Photos as part of my Prime subscription).
Granted, most of my media consumption is ebooks, which are tiny.
No, not FLAC music library. I have lots of games and apps which take around 248GB. Some streaming apps like crunchyroll easily take 33GB, genshin impact 27GB, Netflix 17GB, titan quest 5.9GB, wreakfest 5.9GB, Youtube Music 5.4GB, etc.
Other data around 288GB is media like movies, serial, TVs which I downloaded for offline viewing. ROMs for gaming take around 17.7GB, 21GB is downloads including some HDR videos, LLM models, etc.
The total occupied at this point is 640GB out of 1TB.
