Honest question, what do you use your phone for? High refresh rates and stuff like that are nice but what are people actually using their ram and storage for?

RAM helps with multitasking, storage lets you store more stuff (I treat my phone basically as a PC-lite), and good SoC is needed for computational photography. So yeah
I have the 500GB version of the note 20 and have almost completely filled it.
I sync certain folders across all of my devices which is especially useful when i'm planning travel and actually travelling. it also means i can save photos and access and share them across all of my devices.
As for RAM I am extremely selective about what i install on my device, i prune applications regularly and flat out refuse to use apps for services where webapps are available. That in mind, my RAM on my 12GB phone is currently about 75% in use.
I do also watch media on my phone occasionally, especially on flights. the screen on the note20 ultra is very nice for that.
