When you go to buy the Galaxy S10+, you have quite a few models to choose from. In addition to the base model with a glass back and 128GB of storage, you can also step up to either 512GB or 1TB of storage. With these two variants, you also get a sleek, smooth, and stunning ceramic back.

The ceramic models start out at a hefty $1250 for the 512GB configuration, and if you step up to the max 1TB, you'll be paying $1600.

It's just so smooth and this phone has just been that way through everything I've done on it. I wish my...

I love the ceramic but I have no need for 1TB of storage. I imagine most people that go that route will never fill it up. I also don't see an advantage to 12GB of memory. I went with 512 because I got it for the same price as the 128. I have no regrets and will probably never fill it past half way but I can always add an SD card. It's your money and if you think you'll get your money's worth...
