    Photos (I like to shoot RAW+JPEG), videos and music. Pixels don’t come with micro SD card slots, and other manufacturers have been getting rid of it as well.

    Even apps these days are at least 100-200 MB.

      Interesting! How do phones typically encode their files, and what are the benefits of shooting RAW+JPEG?

        RAW files contain the raw, unprocessed information from the camera’s sensor, whereas the JPEGs have the device manufacturer’s processing on them. RAW images provide a lot of flexibility when editing in applications like Adobe Lightroom. You can recover a lot of detail you otherwise might lose in JPEGs. After processing them you export them as JPEGs.

        Here’s a good example I found online:

        They take up a lot of space. A picture of my housemate’s cat was 3.2 MB in JPEG and 16.6 MB in RAW.

      That still doesn’t answer the question though. I have photos and music on my phone and I still have 60+ GB of free storage

        I just happen to have more photos, videos, music and apps than you.

        How long have you had your phone for? I’ve had my Pixel 6a for just over a year now.
