Cann't wait to buy a Nexus 10. Just not sure which version should buy 16G or 32G?
$100 for 16G storage difference is not good deal for me, considering OTG is supported by Nexus 10.
But if we consider the larger and larger game data and GPS map ducuments and of course convenience, 32G is much better.
Any suggetion? Does 32G worth the extral $100?
A much better question would be whether you need it or not. If you don't intend to have many large games, nor too many songs, the 16G one will suffice. However, if you do need more space, then the 32G one would be much more suited. Personally I think it's not that bad considering it's still cheaper than many other 'high-end' tablets.
At the end of the day, if you can afford it, it's better to be safe with the 32G Nexus 10 than regretting buying the 16G one.
I'd get it in case you wanted any of those large games (even if you're not an avid gamer, maybe during one of those 25 cent deals).

Thanks. The only problem will be the games. For songs, I could use a USB flash and OTG.
But, as you suggested, I may get a 32G just in case.

Get the 32gb. Blue rays take up a lot of space.
I want the rumored 64gb.
and why do we have no info on when they will be available? all i see is 'coming soon" on the at&t page. why bother giving us the price tag a month ago then not having them up for presale? will they even be available upon launch on at&t?
Samsung are always the same they say there are 32 and 64 models but they never ever see the light of day here in the UK

just spoke to at&t and they said the 32gb model will probably not be available at launch. yet they have the $249 price tag in their systems already. if true i guess ill hold off upgrading. what a mess.
EDIT: i also see they never carried the 32gb model of the s3 so im wondering if we will ever get a 32gb edition of the s4?

I am wondering the same thing. It's just speculation of course, but I wouldn't be surprised if the 32 and 64gb versions will only be available through Verizon in the US. So AT&T gets first launch but Verizon gets a better variety? I guess we will know soon. I guarantee there are managers at AT&T that already know, but as usual, are not saying.
hope it won't be like last year when they cancelled the galaxy s3 64GB version
yeah i got fed up and just ordered my 16gb edition on at&t.
I'm won't buy the 16gb. I want 32 or 64gb. I'm in UK and Samsung won't reveal anything. 16gb is no good as only 8.9gb is free to users. And all apps and games and app data has to go in phone memory. Not micro sd.
I don't see any reason for AT&T to skip the 32GB, they have it as coming soon. Some speculate that Samsung is pushing the 16GB out first since its more popular but I don't see why they can't get both capacities out, its a pre-order for a reason.
I am porting from Verizon to AT&T so I have to wait and I'm stuck on a crappy old flip phone while I wait. I didn't want to get stuck hold the bag on my last phone and lose the value on it. My hope is its shortly after launch, but my fear is it could be a month or two after launch. No more Verizon, so AT&T better step up.
If they have a sku for the 32GB GS4, then its clearly planned, just a timing issue.
we are all just speculating of course but if they focused all manufaturing on one model (qualcomm 16gb) then they are more likely to meet demand rather then if they fragmented at launch and possibly missed shipping on multiple models. just a WAG tho...
Watch out on ebay.. There suckering people with 32GB S4 = 16GB(internal) + 16GB(microSD)
I spoke to sammy today and they have no info on 32gb models. As i said i just sucked it up and got the 16gb today. I have a 64gb sd card anyways.

My S2 Skyrocket has 16 GB internal memory and I have never come close to filling it. However, it all depends on how people use their phones. I don't use mine for music or movies (at this time) so my biggest storage issues are phone related (nandroids, Apps, pictures and videos, etc...) and I usually use the external SD for the pics and vids. But here is why I want the 32 GB model:
1. If I ever find myself in a situation that I need or want to take a lot of videos and pictures but don't have an extra SD card with me or a way to transfer them to another media. It would suck to run out of storage when it is really needed.
2. 32 GB might not be needed (by me) right now, but with larger and better apps, games, and similar being developed, it can't hurt. In the future it will be welcome.
3. The 32 GB model will look better than the 16 GB model when / if I ever want to sell it.
4. External SD cards crap out all of the time. Having enough onboard storage to temporarily back up important info, pics, and vids will be nice.
Of course, like I said, everybody's experience differs and some people definitely need more than 16 GB to start with.
If the 32GB isn't offered, I guess there won't be a choice.
I'm just fine with my 80GB model.
A lot of chatter, but really.... if you want it soon get the 16gb version. if 32gb is important to you, then wait. No point whining about the fact 32gb isn't available yet. 16gb will be the most popular by far, it makes sense they started there.

Thanks for your opinion but the thread is about the 32 GB version so there is no point in you calling OP related issues "whining". As stated, I (and many others) would like the 32 GB version so any information about it is certainly welcome.
I know, some people just never read the fine print. I am just sitting idle until AT&T says something.
Wheres the 64GB love? Can I get a 9500 (ex5410) + 64GB + LTE is that too much to ask?
is there any way of loading apps on the sd card? 16gb seems awful low
I'm waiting as well
"Life Companion" at 16GB ..
Last i read was the 32gb will be available when the s4 is officially avail April 30th. But I would not hold my breath as it was not from a credible source. I too am waiting for the 32gb as 16gb just won't cut it.

Can anyone confirm what the real; built-in storage options are? I have only seen 32GB until recently, which is annoying because I am after the 64GB version.
Then I see this (in Oz):
http://www.mobicity.com.au/catalogsearch/result/?q=Samsung+Galaxy+Note+3
Here they seem to offer 16 GB and 32 GB versions. They also offer a N9002 which appears to be a dual sim option, but no 4G. Is this maybe an import from Tokyo (my last Note was)?
What are all the 'real' options, does anyone know?
Confused of Mackay....
I have never seen a Samsung 64 gb version in any of its tablets or phones. It is like searching for Big Foot. I probably will have a better chance seeing Big Foot in real life.
OK, thanks. Maybe it was my poor memory (b'dm-tish), or a rogue preview I read.
64 Gb
I Don't know how legit it is, as it's the only one I've seen.

Very expensive, but at least it's been seen in the wild:fingers-crossed:
I'll be calling them tomorrow.
Don't know I'll actually buy at this price, but be interesting to see if it's true
Hi all, just wondering if anyone has had any issues with 128gb sd cards? Looking at buying one but don't want it to fail like the 64gb I got for the s4.
Many thanks in advance

iv been using my 128gb SanDisk micro sd since I bought my s5 last month and iv had no problems at all. I had problems with my s4 using anything bigger than a 32gb memory card random data loss or corrupt card was usually the case.
Zeus85 good to know it works fine.
Couple of questions:
Have you encrypted it as well? Curious how long would it take and would it hinder card performance.
Ate you able to make some card speed tests with and without encryption?
128 gb works just fine on s5.
My sandisk 128gb works great

That is an odd comment suggesting that you don't know or possibly, understand the reasons for the "S4 failures". The 128 GB cards work fine on the S5, the only real drawback being that they carry a stiff price premium over 64 GB cards.
However, any SD card, even highly rated brands can experience unexpected failures. They are usually rare unless a particular manufacturing run or model have an unexpected bug. The latter has been known to happen, but again an uncommon situation.
But by far the majority of SD card failures are due to the large number of inferior quality fakes on the market. Some of the counterfits have perfect packaging and labels and are very hard to identify as fakes. Nevertheless they have a much higher failure rate due to substandard electronics. Meaning that buying cards from a lot of discount sources, in particular ebay and most mail order vendors is fraught with peril.
You won't be able to avoid the risk of "S4" type SD card failures no matter what you do though. All you can do is minimize your risk. But some people will have cards fail, no matter what their size, brand or vendor. Given this, I would rather pay a stiff retail price but obtain a lifetime warranty through a major retailer.

Many thanks for the replies people I shall purchase one today

I bought a g4 plus base model from best buy. the 16gb - 2gb ram model. runs well but im curious how much better the 64gb - 4gb ram model would perform? It is worth the extra $50+? Im considering ordering at best buy and exchanging my 2gb model and use the free $50 bestbuy gift card i recieved when i purchased.
Thanks.
I have the 16gig as well. The stores don't stock the 64gig and I couldn't stand my LG G4 a second longer.
Now, if you exchange the 16gig you will have to return the gift card with it, a new one will be issued with the 64gig. If you are lucky and ask really nice, customer service might let you apply the $50 to the new phone. Don't count on it though. (I work at a best buy mobile)

I mean will it be a big speed improvment? Because its already pretty good.

My old phone was a 16 GB phone, and I could manage fine with it, but I can definitely appreciate the extra space I get from the 32 gb version I now have. The extra ram doesn't hurt either, you'll definitely run into some instances when you wish you had it. 64gb and 4gb seemed a bit too much for the relatively mediocre processing power on a Moto G4 plus though, so I'd suggest avoiding going that far. The 32gb version hits the sweet spot for me.

I'm not talking about storage as I have the SD card to. But I'd assume the 4gb would give it a added boost. I may pull the trigger and order off of Amazon then return this one.
From what I have read and seen there isn't much difference in speed between the two. The 4gb ram will let you have a bit more apps running in the background before slowing down I guess.

I wouldnt mind the extra ram and 64gb storage. Gonna buy from b&h photo tonight. $299 free 2 day ship and no tax. Then return the 16gb model when it gets here.
I really like the extra ram. Android always tries to fill as much as the ram as possible because unused ram is wasted ram. The thing is when the ram is full, every time you go to do something, the system has to reclaim some of that memory for the new task. So the big advantage of having 4 gigs of ram is that you won't have to wait until that memory is freed up to start something new.
I have also gotten the 4gig ram/64gig internal and pretty happy with it. Flashed the custom Kernel as well. Liking it so far..
I can say without a doubt the 4gb ram version runs faster.
I realized swap was enabled by default, with 4 gigs of ram.... I turned it off and still have an average of 1.7 GB free memory. And the phone doesn't have to do any processing to compress part of the ram or whatever it does on a z-ram swap setup.
If anyone wants to give it a try, in a root terminal type "swapoff /dev/block/zram0" without the quotes. It took my phone around 2 minutes to execute.

Sorry... Having owned Android since 2009, and Unix/Linux since they were both babies (35yrs as UNIX administrator*), I'd say,
ABSOLUTELY go for the one with more RAM.
the 64GB? nice, (as is the memory card slot), but the RAM will never get unused!
* funniest Unix admin story. (not at the time though). Had to recover a unix system from the BOOT FLOPPY (5 1/4 inch)
once you F*ck up the root password file once, and need to reload, you never do it again!!!!
*end crappy story...
good luck, and go for the extra ram!
