Apps, photos and especially 4K video fill storage quickly, and it cannot be upgraded later on phones without a memory-card slot. For most buyers 128GB is the practical minimum, and 256GB is the safer choice for heavy camera use or keeping a phone for four years or more.
On our spec score, the leading models here are realme 16 Pro+ 5G (8.6/10), realme 16 Pro 5G (8.1/10). Spec score = processor tier 30% + camera hardware 25% + display 15% + battery and charging 15% + promised software updates 15%, calculated from the official specifications. It is not a hands-on review.
