Well I see that AT&T is getting the 32GB version on May 10th, however no word from Sprint. Anyone have an inkling? I'm really needing to upgrade from my HTC EVO 3D and 16GB won't be enough. For those of you who are waiting, how long are you going to wait?
Anyone have any idea?

As of right now, I haven't heard about a 32gb variant of the S4 on Sprint. I read that AT&T is the only carrier in the US that is selling the 32gb version and they have exclusive rights to it. That could very well change tomorrow but as of right now, that's the word on the street.

That's the other option. Lmao. I personally have a 64gb memory card. I have over 70 apps installed on S4 and my available memory is 7.05 gbs
I already have a 64GB memory card that's full and unfortunately not all apps will load on SD cards. I travel 5 days a week so I have tons of stuff on my phone.

Just spoke with Sprint chat and he did not have any information on a 32gb or larger Galaxy S4. He said to contact Samsung and he gave me their chat link. Of course Samsung says it is all up to Sprint when/if they carry larger capacity gs4. Jeez
Just can't imagine why it's that hard to put a 32gb chip in instead of a 16gb chip. I will wait another 7 weeks and if by that time a 32gb phone isn't available I'll buy the 16gb.

Hello,
Friends, does anyone has any clue/idea as to how soon will the 32 GB version of Note 2 be launched/available...?
Thanks.
Me too looking forward to it...
Any info on this please report....

The LTE in the N7150 probably wouldn't work with the ass-backwards 4g infrastructure here anyway, but I really want a grey 64gb. I've only found 16GB variants here in Norway.

You'll have to wait a bit, just like S3 it was harder to find when it just got released... I bought the 16GB with a 64GB microsd problem solved
How long did the SIII take to get 32GB after launch? To me 16GB is just not enough internal storage - I'm not android competent (yet) and I'd like easy access to more storage for Apps (happy to shove music/films etc on 64GB card)

Doesn't help those who want 64gb + 64gb = 128gb of storage, like I do. I hope it won't take as long for the 64gb Galaxy Note II to be released, as it will for the Galaxy S III (why is this still not released!?!?).

32GB Note 2 is available in Dubai for 2450 Dhs ($662 USD). Just ordered one and it's coming tonight, will keep you posted.
EDIT: Spoke too soon.. they're "out of stock" on the 32GB, got the 16GB instead+ 64GB MicroSD
@ gabster21,
could you kindly clarify....
1. Is the 32GB "out of stock" because a 32GB for sale is already launched and a lot of people ordered it...? (hence waiting for new stock of 32GB)
or
2. Is it "out of stock" because it is not available as of now...?!? (waiting for 32GB to be launched)
thanks.
I was told I could get the 32gb version for about 60 $ extra than the 16gb, of course I said yes. The person from the shop then called me back saying that they were sold out.
He said they would receive more on Sunday however I'm not sure I really believe him and it's possible they never had it in the first place. 64gb sd card makes up for it though

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 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.

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

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:

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.

Since Ice Cream Sandwich, apps can no longer be conventionally moved to the SD card. I have heard there are some ways around this once you root the device, but I have never tried it. So if your a novice, move to the SD card won't be readily available.

It depends:
Gameloft's Asphalt 7 store the data on internal memory but EA's Need For Speed can store the data (2Gb) on the external SD card.
With root access and an app like RomToolBox, you can choose where you install the softwares but I dont think it makes a difference with Gameloft games.

Thanks you guys for replying. You've instilled the patience for me to wait for the 64gb GS4. I just got off the phone with a corporate AT&T store here in Ohio. He was sure he could sign me up as a new customer, could order the 32gb one and have it shipped to me in a few days. He put me on hold to make sure he could ship the 64gb one like the 32gb one. Unfortunately he came back to confirm he actually cannot order the 32gb one or the 64gb one. He said the US hasn't gotten the 32 or 64gb S4 at all and no clue when. But it could be in a few days. What if it's weeks though. Damn. just thought I'd share.
Once someone makes a custom ROM/kernel you can change the way your device thinks .. You can make your 64gb SD card your internal storage allowing everything to be Installed there

this has come a long way from my epic 4g which has less than 500MB for apps and constantly ran out. SDCard app installation was a painful, process, and very slow. Nice to have all 16GB of space wide open. I'm gonna definitely need to get an SD card though for movies. Hehe

I am right there with you, waiting on the 32GB. I have heard May or June, also heard this week, to in a few weeks. Going on vacation next week so fortunately I will be gone for a spell and won't be thinking about it. But it does suck they couldn't offer up the 32GB at the same time, that woul have given them a true sense of popularity.
You simply cannot move apps to the SD card with the Apps2SD apps, and unless you root and change the directory binds to make the ext. SD the internal storage which can be an issue for some. This is the reason I sold my GN2, just would NOT live with 10.8GB of space. I am not going to sacrifice storage on device for cloud storage that costs you money to d/l every time.

I hope so too, I really need a phone and my fear is it could be months. I wonder IF we will see a 64GB version, that would be awesome,but I would happily take 32GB version.
Oh yeah, I'd take the 32gb one if the 64 is over $400. Dang I hope it's not months, but if it is at least there will probably be newer phones released. So I might not even get the s4
32gb or 64gb won't make it to US. Samsung pulls this crap all the time and give us crappy useless 16gb. HTC one is looking better and better. I know on the note 2 you can run a script if you were rooted to make your SD card become your internal storage hopefully same process works on sgs4

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

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.

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.

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

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.
