32GB/64GB Note 2 in UK?

Hi guys,
I currently have an S3 and I have a buyer for it, I will be buying the Grey Note II very soon. However, due to the large number of games I have and the increasing file sizes for game data (in particular gameloft games) I would like to go for the 32GB or 64GB version. It is very inconvenient to always run out of space and have to move game data to the SD card. With the size of phone games these days, 32GB really should be the new standard imo.
I already have a 64GB memory card so please don't tell me where I can purchase one of these. I want the Note 2 in Grey with 32GB or 64GB internal memory. Do they exist? Will they ever appear or am I likely to be waiting indefinitely?
Now the buyer for my S3 is getting impatient and he wants it ASAP. I could sell it and buy the 16GB grey Note 2 now, but if there is any news regarding the 32 or 64GB version I will hold out for a bit longer.
Any information would be most helpful.

iphone users will be really jealous.

~i have almost the same case here...but as far as i have heard...the 64 and 32 GIG versions are not gonna be out till after 2012 ends...

Samsung are just about to start releasing an S3 64gb. Doesn't bode well for seeing a Note II anytime soon.
They seem to use the extra memory to even out their sales further into the phone's life, rather than maximize them at launch. Bloody annoying really.

I have iPhone 5 and the N7100. The second is the best

Same boat except in Aus do I'll no doubt be waiting longer! so tempted to get 16gb but know I'll hate it later! Also don't you need a 'micro SD' card? Might do a search and see if there is a 'confirmed to work' 64gb card thread...

I ordered this: KINGSTON SECURE DIGITAL CLASS 10 SDXC 64 GB
I will update this thread once I pick it up at the post office today
I was in the same boat. I wanted the 64GB with 64GB microSD, but it is really unnecessary. To use that space you would need A LOT of movies on the phone. Movies etc can be streamed from your home computer via the Emit app. You can also use dropbox, so even 16+64GB is moooooooore then enough space.

Im one hoping for the release of the 64gb variant soon.
I think samsung have dropped the ball here.
Least the fruity phone manufacturer makes all memory size variants available from zero day

You guys confirmed what I already thought, I can see it being quite a wait until we see the 32GB and 64GB versions.
I've gone ahead and ordered the 16GB Grey Note II today. For those interested in the UK, this is the deal I got:
Grey Note II (FREE HANDSET)
300 Minutes
Unlimited Texts
1.5GB Internet
£27 Cashback.
£31 per month (T-Mobile)
24 Month Contract.
I ordered it today, it should be with me tomorrow.

Will it work one ee 4g network ?

No, the one I ordered is 3G.
Thing is, I do not intend to use 4G at all yet especially since we can be sure it will cost a fair bit on top of our contracts. I have also heard reports that the battery life takes quite a hit on 4G. By the time 4G is standard across the UK and we have coverage everywhere, I reckon I may have the Note 3 by then...
farfromovin - I agree with you, I think 128GB micro sd cards are literally just a few weeks away now.

If your thinking for waiting before buying the consensus is that is too long to wait for most. We are greedy. But it might still be a good idea as next week ee launch the lte version, this may affect the prices but come November network prices will definitely be affected. Combined you might save £50 in 30 days. This is all skeptical I know so let's say the EV is around £25 allowing for a fall in hype too.

It's funny you say that. I was thinking the same thing. I sure hope so. If this is the case I'd be willing to go that route. Not only is it more storage it's a more future proof solution. In fact the difference between a 16GB and 64GB note will probably be roughly equal to the difference between a 64GB card and a 128 GB card.
... here's hoping.

Got my Note II today, what a beast of a phone. Takes the best things from the Note I and the S3 and combines them, and improves it some. :good:

not sure note 2 would take 128gb sdcard as specs state upto 64gb?

Luckily those specs are often understated.

It can and will. My phone stated 32gb, but currently has a 64gb. Just format it in the phone.

The XC standard is supposed to be fixed regardless of memory size (up to a limit I forget) where the HC standard was different for each capacity. Wouldn't guarantee it but if 64 works then 128 (256, 512...) should be fine.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

well you learn stuff all the time in here
ill be on the look out then as i wouldnt mind a large card for my hd films (and no its not porn ).
64gb doesnt seem to cut it for me
side note...the way these sdxc are increasing in size and cheapness on price i can see them maybe killing off usb sticks the way its going...boy are 64gb micro card small cant wait for 128gb ones.

[Q] S4 with 32 or 64GB internal memory

Are Samsung ever going to release the S4 with 64GB internal memory as stated, or even one with 32GB internal memory?

All signs point to probably not.

i hope so, i preordered two ... im not buying anything less than 64 so.. ill continue to wait, got an N900 holdin me down.
edit: the 32 is already out in the 9500 flavor .. 24GB freespace

why wait or pay so much more for a 32 or 64 gig version, just get a 64gb sd card and slap it in. cost a lot less than the phone does

You can't move all games on sd, only some. So, you need larger internal memory.

too true, don't understand why they even put 16gb in if they are going to cram half of it with bloatware. minimum should have been 32 to start with
but once you root it and put CM10.X on it you will have a lot more room

What's file binding?
And to answer the original question: I think Australia will be also getting a 32gb model in the coming wks (don't take this as gospel though, it's an unconfirmed rumour as far as I'm concerned).

File binding and rooting doesn't work yet, has reliability issues and stops some apps from working.
Internal memory works better. We need bigger memory models. The 16gb should never have been sold.

Yeah, I know, but soon for and binding will be possible I think. I agree with you, or at least Samsung should release all three version on the same time for those who want to buy more space.

Unlike Apple, Samsung doesn't sell the phone directly. It gets orders from the carriers and wholesalers. The carriers no nothing about the memory and apps issues so just ordered the cheapest model as it would sell the most. But they were basing this decision on lack of technical information.
Every single mobile phone shop is lying to customers telling them apps can be moved to the sd card. I have corrected the staff but do they care to raise it higher.

Yeah, but not only. If you check websites like Amazon, even there are only 16 GB devices They will release in 4-5 months the 32 and 64 gigs, when another, more powerful smartphone with 16 gigs will be released.

32GB is already out and being sold. there was a vid on youtube, ill look for it.
edit: BOOM!

Any further speculation/rumor on the 32 release (on AT&T specifically)? I spoke with a rep who said they will be getting the 32gb version, but did not know when. I spoke with a samsung customer service/marketing rep on facebook who said to contact AT&T for info. No help at all, and 16 just seems too small even with the 64gb microSD

How about some more magic and make that YouTube S4 appear for sale in the UK.

Any news update on 32gb/64gb with LTE models? I'd rather buy an 64gb htc one than a 16gb+64microsd S4. But I like the S4 more than the One.

I am also waiting for the 32GB version, don't know when it will be available in Middle East, can't wait to get my hands on this beast.

I guess I'll just take the 16GB and rely on custom roms to lessen the bloat and app to extSD. :|

32gb and 64gb version

I'm due for an upgrade and wondering if the 32gb and 64gb version will ever be out? My s2 is crapping and overheating on me. I'm itching to just get the 16gb version. What should i do? wait or not?

Do you want the 16, 32, or 64gb version? Lol. I think you should ask yourself that question and go with your answer. There are cheap SD Cards out there too. Are you really going to fill up two 64gb cards? Or even a 32 and 64? Etc?

Can't we move apps to SD card on here? If not then I'm kind of kicking myself now. Lol. But at the same time, if you plan on rooting and working with a custom ROM you can pick and choose what apps you need while reserving space for extras that you want or too need. But patience also brings about great things. Who knows, maybe you'll end up grabbing the Note 3 or the Google edition S4 if it comes to Sprint or is able to be brought to Sprint. I was only in a hurry to upgrade because I was getting sick of my EVO and HTC all together. Kind of comes down to patience now. In your boat it sounds like 32gb might be the way to go if we ever see it on Sprint. 64 seems like overkill unless same price.

yes 32gb will be perfect. i'm losing patience lol, i even skipped buying a s3 already. Wish there was some kind of news that these versions would be out.

32
I have always gotten the 32g. Figure its cheaper and I can always remove unwanted items

Why no 32 GB out of the gate?

Samsung did this the S4 too- why does this make sense for them to do this? I refuse to buy a 16gb phone with the ROM taking about half.
I know it has an SD card but there are many things that just don't work as well.

So far, the ONLY reason I'm not getting the S5 is because of not getting 32GB internal..... I hate needing to manage what goes on the SD Card, what goes on a Foldermount link to the externalSD, etc..

Verizon offering a 32GB version?

It took three months for the 32GB to happen for the S4 and that was only due to customers bugging them about it.

Yeah I'm concerned they won't be offering it. I don't understand why most of the US carriers won't.

Easier to milk it like Munson. Only offer the 16gb and charge $50 more than everybody else. They would have done the same thing with the M8 if HTC offered one to them.

I am going to try to hold out for the 32gb. My S3 had 32gb, but my S4 only had 16gb and that was a mistake. i would love the new htc but the battery does not come out so that is a no go.

32GB is pretty much and i want it.

Hopefully they'll release it soon. I can't imagine 32gb being the minimum these days... and by the way, I have zero games on my 32gb S4 and it's only got about 8 GB free!

I'm not sure if you are interested but I found an app last night that allows me to redirect apps to save on my SD card. It is called foldermount. I just don't know how it will work on the S5 since the sdcard setting are different in kit kat

Yea.. 32gb memory. Can you explain it.. Must be a good opportunity. But i think is it low capacity bear ?

vzw will do like they did with the s4 and wait until they reach their target of 16gb devices sold before relasing the 32gb. they know from experience the large majority of their customer base won't spend extra for the 32gb on release day. the few people begging for the 32gb didn't change the availability time frame last year and it won't change it this year. plus demand for the s5 seems to be lackluster.

Yeah seems your kinda right about it.

In this last release they give 32 gb. I think it is good to use another. But why they Bugging with this ?

Extended memory
Yes it would be nice to see 32gb. but you can always bump up external memory to 128gb. which is awesome. I put 64gb on mine and with 16gb. internal that gives me 80gb. so I think I'm set very for now.

Does not help for apps. All depends on the users and the apps they have.
It seems obvious this is a milking strategy, so probably depends on if they offer 32gb when launch sales slow down. I am not too sure they will this time. One less sku to manage. Yep, they have multiple ones with Apple, but Apple is pushy like that and controls supply.
