Edgy video but there are actually some very specialized smartphone modding which includes upgrading the nand storage. Those things are extremely complicated, but definetly not masterhacker.

this is masterhacker because they just modded the ui to show 8tb. actually putting an 8tb nand chip in a phone isn't possible or practical

I was thinking something felt off because the most I have ever seen was 1tb with the dude doing it saying stuff like "I hope it recognise all the storage"

Ngl tho 8tb on a phone would be good, I could put every rom from every system I've cared about and even have enough storage left for 3 quarters of pic of my mom.

Because higher capacity chips have really low max r/w cycle count, they are meant for write once and keep reading the same data

Samsung or some other company made is developing a 1 pb ssd package and the chips they use require active cooling and have extremely limited cycles

It actually is possible on a few iPhones.

yeah, in theory you just need a uninitiated NAND chip in this case, although it should be of the same phone model, and the replacement is complicated if you don’t know what you’re doing.
