You just made a statement which I can easily pick apart logically.
The fact is, you did pay more money. In fact, you paid a *lot* more money.

No - I just bought that device and that's it. I am not paying for Google
cloud services.

 
Hi Arno, (this is a nicer me, but still the logically sensible me)
 
I didn't say anything about Google cloud services when I explained you got
badly fleeced by Google's rather brilliant marketing ploy of removing basic
functionality so that you have to pay an arm & a leg to replace it.

I don't have "to pay an arm & a leg to replace it".

You paid Google, at yesterday's prices, for the total amount of on-device
storage you estimated you'd need during the life of the phone - well before
you needed it.

No, I needed it at the time I bought it. 64 GB would not have been
enough, as I already had around 70 GB of data to be transferred from my
backup back to the phone.

Google marketing thanks you for making that decision.

And Samsung marketing thanks you. So what?
