Your question related to Android phones, that is why I replied.

Let's hope the Chinese come up with a lighter alternative, but I think the chance is slim as they also manufacture MicroSD cards and it's profitable to keep selling higher capacity cards

Mine (Huawei P30 Lite) has 4GB RAM, 128GB Internal, and (currently) a 64GB SD card (Max 512GB)
Total used so far: 90GB, of which 56GB is videos, 2GB is music, and 18GB apps - mostly map data I think.
Android isn't using that much!
My previous phone (MotoG version 1) had 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal, and no external storage. It worked fine, until I needed England maps as well as Wales - and they didn't fit any more because android was using 7GB or so ... Hence the change of phones ...

AS I just happend to learn, the SD card can be used as portable or internal - As portable, you can use it as a normal SD device, meaning the SD is readable by a PC. I am saving pictures on it, and I want to be able to retrieve them if the phone breaks or fails, so ... I use this "portable" feature.
The internal feature on the other hand uses the SD card as an extension of internal memory, but it is not readable by external devices then...
I think I need a mix of both

Do you sync your music with the on-line Google Play? Google Play Services uses local storage to cache downloaded media from the on-line Google Play.

Well, in fact you can remove all those non-removable apps except Google Play services (killing them will make your phone unusable), you just need to connect ADB shell to your phone, then you can remove any of those pre-installed apps using pm uninstll -k <package.id>. Purging cached data for Play services can also help, they usual don't fill all this storage back, not that fast at least

Mrs Wife has a $100 LG Smart Phone. It started to complain about memory a year or so ago. If I recall, it came with 4GB internal and I doubled it with a handy MicroSD card I had around. She also did some deleting of old data.
It sees the card and on top of that we made more room.
Yet . . . it still says memory is low. It makes me think of that it's a version of that sleazy apple phone-slow-down in an update. Just make the phone demand upgrades that require a new phone.

Now that I think about it, it is actually similar to a laptop I bought for my son last year with a 128Gb SSD with the OS and a 1Tb disk for data. Windows takes up 123Gb (!!!) by now on the SSD drive,
No way in hell you can attribute all of that to Windows. My first-gen Surface has 128GB total, I keep it up to date, it's currently running 2004, and I currently have about 60% of the disk space free. And I know there's a ton of crap I could delete if I only bothered.

For Windows, "TreeSize" is a nice free application for seeing where the space goes. (There is a pay version too, but the free one is fully satisfactory.)
On my plain desktop PC, C:\Windows requires 22.3 GByte. Essentially an all-defaults installation, plus Windows Subsystem for Linux. I could trim it down; several of the optional features I have no need for.
Program Files (x86): 14.5 GByte. Program Files: 9.6 GByte. (The latter two will grow significantly quite soon; I reinstalled from scratch recently, and haven't reinstalled all the software yet.)

Your figures are pretty close to those I get from the system I'm currently using. They total to less than half of those from the message I originally replied to.
Basically you're saying you're in agreement with my response?

And it's the price of stamps! We paid 30 Danish Krones a piece to send postcards to the Netherlands (which is equivalent to 4 Euro)

It looks like we found the man who still sends postcards !

Could be, it was also hard to find postcards in Kerteminde, now we know why

Well, there's your problem right there. Anywhere outside of central Copenhagen you'll have a hard time finding anything whatsoever! Did they HAVE a pizzeria or did you have to drive to Odense to get food?

The accountants have taken over all post offices, I think.
And their response to "we're not making enough money" is always the same regardless of the industry: "cut staff and put the price up".
I think they are pricing themselves out of the market - when was the last time most people sent a letter or similar (birthday, christmas, etc. cards excepted)? And what was the last post you recieved? For me, it's nearly always adverts, no actual post at all ... even most of our internet orders come via Amazon / Yodel / DPD / Hermes / other courier.

Without having looked it up, I believe it would be more expensive in Sweden where I live...

You just have to understand that the post (PostNord in this case, which operates in both Denmark and Sweden) prefers to have as little as possible to do with customers. Hence bad service and high prices.
Same goes for banks in both countries... Don't go there to do anything that has to do with money. In fact, don't go there at all, they don't like people disturbing their 8 hour coffee breaks...
