I think the big reason behind people getting the larger size would be for those interested in doing more with Daydream. I chose 32 because I have never used close to that much on any previous device.

Whats the main reason for getting 128gb if they give you unlimited storage?
You are not getting unlimited storage. It is only unlimited Google Drive storage for the videos and photos you take with your Pixel phone. So when you run out of storage on your device Photos will automatically delete photos and videos from your device after which you will need to use data in order to view them again.

Why 128Gig ?
I travel a lot and regardless what people say for me Data roaming is impossibly expensive and WiFi is not always easy to find.
My Nexus 6 has 32Gig the apps and OS take 29Gig .... If I want to have one movie in local storage my device is filled.

I have Google music and cache a lot of playlists. Even though I have unlimited data I want interruption free music playback. I offline a lot of YouTube videos for later viewing as well. Photos and 4k videos although may be uploaded for free but 4k streaming may not be as fast when you're re watching. Also when going through an album of high res photos, download from the cloud can't be faster than local. Unlimited cloud storage is mostly great for peace of mind knowing you probably won't lose your media

It's kind of an insurance policy into the future. With virtual reality and other things either coming on board now or in the near future I for one am not sure what my needs are going to be in the future and when I say future that could be in the next 6 months. I don't know what 7.1 is going to use up by itself so I ordered the 128 and would recommend anyone who asks to order the 128.

Why drive an SUV? Why have a 3 TB in your desktop? Why have a 36" fridge instead of a 22"?

This is really a pretty lame question but the number one answer that may not be as obvious as the rest...

RESALE VALUE... big time, the extra amount you pay will be ,made up for later (not to mention all your fav music and movies when you are stuck somewhere with no data)

I ordered the 128gig because everytime I get a 32gig phone about 6 months in I'm having to start removing stuff to make room for other stuff, it all comes down to how you use the device, the unlimited camera pictures/videos is a nice touch but for how I use my phone that free storage won't even make a dent in what I keep on my phone. on the other hand if it had an SD slot I would have probably took the 32gig as I could offload some stuff to the card, a middle ground option of 64gig would have been nice tho.

Unless you're on wifi that is. :)
