  1. Storage Space:- Everyone keeps their Smartphone for at least 2 to 3 years and throughout the time we end clicking lots of pictures and make videos and we even download multiple kinds of music videos. When we purchase a new phone we transfer all of our files and videos into our new smartphone. This leads to our new smartphone storage space filling up quickly and as a user, it is worrisome for us. There are limited smartphones available in the market which give us an extended storage feature and you have to spend extra cash to buy a phone which comes with preferable storage space.
