I've had my 3a for 6 months or so. Did not consider the storage limitation. Now I feel some regret. Is it really cheaper for the company to limit the storage capacity? I do not get it. Maybe 128 would have to be some kind of minimum in my book.

You probably only use a phone to play games and post selfies on Facebook.

Laptops have become so old school and heavy for just doing presentations in meeting rooms powered by large smart TV's and modern wireless display capable projectors.

          Many don't carry laptops for corporate presentations anymore in their workplaces. Most are doing presentations in meeting rooms with tablets and phones!

                    Here's a YouTube video demonstrating DEX mode. Meeting room presentations with only a phone? Why not? Laptops have become optional as phones with micro sd expansion allow up to 1 TB additional storage that can accommodate all of your laptop contents!

More internal storage is always better unless the cost is prohibitive and no, higher internal storage doesn't use more RAM. More apps running simultaneously/multi tasking is what uses more RAM.

                            Go with the higher internal storage therefore if it costs just a little bit more. You can never have enough of storage if you plan on recording 4K/8K videos and if you have lots of media files (movies, music, high resolution photo collection, offline YouTube and Netflix downloads, offline encyclopedia, etc.), not to mention if you want copies of your personal laptop/desktop files and work files accessible and always with you, with or without internet connection.

                            Samsung's DEX mode has transformed the way people use their phones so more than enough local storage (phone internal storage or micro sd storage) is ALWAYS better than limited 128GB storage without micro sd expansion like in the Pixel 4a.

                            Also, internal storage congestion causes serious LAG problems and ACCELERATED WEAR of internal storage (because you'll have to read/write/erase files often that are stored on the same sectors of the internal storage).

                            Also, ample local storage (phone or micro sd) means instant file accessibility without paying for or wasting time and internet data on cloud services, which makes your files easily accessible to a multitude international hackers who are seasoned, more skilled, and sophisticated. Nothing is more secure than having the files encrypted on your phone or on micro sd and having back ups of them in your laptop/PC).

                              Unbelievable how many phone manufacturers produce s+it phones. They miss out such a key features in this case ip rating plus the finger print sensor on the back and they charge 800 bucks!! I'm not even mentioning the subpar processor, UFS 2.1 instead of 3.0 (at least). Google and other s+it phone makers I have a solution - just publish your PayPal account details stop producing phones and just beg for the money donations

                                I had the S10 Lite and returned it due to green tint. If you buy one, check it with darkmode and return it in time.
