If I needed more storage I would just stick a bigger microSD card in
Which is far cheaper then buying a new phone
Is anyone else starting to notice that 128GB of storage isn't enough?

Not really it's plenty of space I only have 64gb on my OnePlus 5T but. Only using 36gb of it intend to upload most of my things to cloud storage when I can and delete it off of my phone so it doesn't take up unneeded space

If you need them for reference when programming then I guess you're working on your PC so why not just keep them on that instead?

Google Photos and Google Drive would solve all your challenges. I have 64GB on my Pixel 2 XL and I am currently using 58% of it, the majority being Spotify downloads (14.5GB) as I travel a lot and like to listen to music.
I don't think you're trying very hard to find solutions.

Photos and videos automatically back up onto Google photos, and then get revived from my device after a month. I'm needing less and less space.

I've never been able to fill up 64gb over the past few years on my devices. Having said that a few (inc my current) devices have had SD Cards so I just tend to ram a ton of music and videos onto that if required.
With Android today, apps are taking increasing amounts of space, especially with frequent updates extending features and temp data folders/cache. Then you've got ever increasing cameras taking larger MP photos than before and lastly games take up tons of space so I'm glad I don't waste my life on that garb.

Not really, as I don't tend to take a lot of pictures, or make videos.

Was worried when I got 128gb with no sd slot but reality is. I barely filled half.

No. I'm fine with 64GB.

Nope. Google photos for pics/video. Spotify for audio. Don't really play games either.

The minimum phone storage for me would be 128GB (although I currently use a 512GB S10 Plus, which is overkill for my needs but I dont mind having access to plenty of storage). I take lots of photos and videos of my family. That alone takes up most of the space. And since I travel a lot for work I do offline Spotify and save my dropbox offline as well.
My wife uses a 256GB iPhone XS Max and she already filled up her storage with just with photos and videos.
If devices have options for more storage, I wont complain.

My 128GB microSDXC card is for music only and it's only half full. The phone is 32GB with 16GB free after apps and that's more than enough for everything else. I have zero interest in video and rarely take pics. I've bought one game (GTA: Chinatown Wars) and can't have spent more than 5 minutes on it. At least it was paid for with reward points and not cash.

No idea why anyone would need more than 128gb on a phone to be honest.
Only went for the 256gb OnePlus 7 pro because it was only 50 quid more and also came with 2gb more ram. Oh, and I wanted the nebula blue colour
