128GB to 256GB

[sonsi]

Hi Good evening!

Is anyone here know if samsung physical store can upgrade my Galaxy s21+ from 128GB to 256GB. 

TIA

I think that's not possible, you should have bought the 256GB variant in the first place.

You can buy a new phone with 256GB base storage or trade your current phone to a newer model if you want, but upgrade your current phone storage? not possible.

[Babababert]

Yeah, I believe it would not be possible since that's the base storage for phones and they cannot expand that. You may need to buy a new phone with a higher storage

[sonsi]

Got it! But can i buy a 256gb memory to the samsung store then request to the technician to replace thr chip or the default memory of my phone?

Aside from trading in your phone and getting a storage upgrade for the same device, no, it's not possible to upgrade your device's storage by just going to a physical store and telling them to upgrade your storage to 128 to 256GB. It's a hardware thing and it needs a meticulous way of tinkering with your device aka opening it up and replacing the said parts. Now if only the S21s support SD cards, you can do this by just buying one, but sadly, they don't.

May I suggest using Google One or OneDrive for extra storage?

[equinoxzzz]

Nope. They don't provide that service. The best option would be sell that 128GB S21+ and get an S21+ with 256GB of storage.
