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.

I want the 32gb s4. Or should I get a 16gb s4 and get a 32gb sd card? Unless there are still certain apps that can't go on Sdcard. I haven't used android in a long time. I'm asking because im going to download a lot of games on this phone. Thanks
Most games go to internal memory and with the size of HD games it runs out fast

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

The color wars are fun to read, but what about size?
even if I did have the 64GB model, it still wouldn't house a quarter of my music library. also, the 32GB was easily available- I just walked into a T-Mobile store on the 19th, asked for the phone, and left 10 minutes later with my Midnight Blue in hand.
I was one of the few lucky ones who managed to get a 64GB from T-Mo on launch day. With that said; I opted for the 64GB because I knew I would be using this thing as a tablet. I've loaded some 1080p movies (I can't find 2K movies...) to show off this display and plenty of music to take advantage of the stereo(!) speakers.
64gb because there is no SD slot so more storage wont hurt.

I went with the 32GB for a few reasons. My LG G2 was 32GB, and the only reason I came even remotely close to filling it up, was because I had two full nandroid backups and a titanium backup on the phone with the game "Yesterday" included which is about a 1GB game. I have a fairly simple setup, outside of the stock apps I keep maybe 20 other apps/games on my phone. I keep 4GB of music on my phone just in case I get to an area without service and I want music.
I also figured the 32GB version would be easier to obtain.
How backordered is the 64 GB model from T-Mobile?

Ah thanks. I didn't go back far enough.
$50 extra for double the storage? It's a no brainer really, 64GB all the way!
64 duh
Its driving me crazy not knowing if ATT will ever get get the 64gb version.
I could have waited and gone with the 64, but when I sat down and thought it over, the 32 would be just fine. I came from a G3 and the only thing that took up space was a set of titanium backups and two nandroids; a stock based (CloudyG3) ROM and various flavors of the CM 12 test release. My music is up in the cloud, I back up my pictures to google and I don't really hold on to video files. All things considered, the only concrete reason that I had for a 64 was 'because moar'
So functionally speaking, that extra 32G of storage would pretty much just be a reason for me to just keep crap around that I would have otherwise deleted.
64gb for me but 32 wouldn't hurt since i have an 64 gb sandisk usb dual drive otg.
I would of gone with the 64Gb one if the Stores had it but they didn't so I got an 32Gb Blue one on Saturday. I had to pay $67 for the taxes and JUMP! from my S4 to my first Nexus device for the Stock Android and I love it! the front speakers are AMAZING!! Now I pay $24 monthly for this phone which is totally worth it in my eyes.

The 64gb is only 7.6% more than the 32gb. Why not? Sure, I'm completely unlucky and haven't even been able to order one yet but hey I'm patient. My rooted rooted S3 is running great so I'm fine with being patient and waiting to order a 64gb from Google/Moto.
To me, this phone is an investment and I plan on it providing me with years of great service like my S3 has. I know down the road I'll regret if I get a 32gb just because I was in a rush and couldn't wait a few more weeks. Also, if I ever want to sell the phone, I'm sure the 64gb will give me a decent little price premium.
Been using a 32gb Note 3 with a 32gb card for a year now and I think I could probably still get away with 32gb alone but I will get a 64gb model just because I'll have it for 18 months or so...
I'm not sure what I'm going to do.
Really boils down to how quickly I want a phone. I have no music and I plan to JUMP to the Nexus 2015 in a year's time anyway.

I've had my 32GB Nexus 6 since 11/19 and am really liking it. I have over 25 GB still after loading all my typical music and apps. At this point, I'm not really sure I want a 64 GB--though I had initially wanted one--even didn't try to buy a 32GB the 1st week looking only at the elusive 64's.
How many of you 32'ers out there still want more memory?
I've always had either a 8GB or 16GB phone, 32GB is already a step up for me. Even with 16GB I never filled the phone up. I'll typically have some pictures and music on my phone, I don't have a need to keep a bunch of stuff on there that I'm not using. If I needed to go over 32GB's there would be a lot of stuff on my phone that I never use.
I was originally pining for the 64GB, but just to have the best of the best.
My Nexus 7 is 32, and I've never come close to filling it. I'm sure that's different for everyone, but with cloud services galore I need very little storage for shot vids and pictures. With all apps installed and 20+GB to spare, I no longer regret my decision or want a 64GB model.
The 64 would just mean 32gb worth of extra crap wasting room.
I don't store much locally other than backups, so I have plenty of room.
I had a 32gb LG G3 with a 64gb Micro SD in it before the Nexus 6. I used approximately 5gb on the card and maybe the same on the phone. More than 32gb is overkill for me since I don't put music on the phone and I don't download tons of games.
I haven't pulled the trigger on the N6 yet, awaiting to see how VZ will screw me over...
On the side though, currently using a GNex, I never filled it up either, have about 10Gb free, however that said, I haven't loaded games or a lot of apps onto it, only what I need, and if not used often I uninstall basically to not have to deal with any background processes that may run due to an app being installed.
But given the choice, and I hope I am, I'll likely settle on the 64Gb, because I typically only have one phone at a time, and keep it longer then what most of us here would consider normal, I mean, I'm hitting three years on the GNex, and figure I'll be doing the same if it is an N6, so for a few bucks more grab the extra storage, easier than wishing I had it IF I fill up a 32Gb ...
Got my 32 blue today and it is more than enough. I don't store movies or play games and i only store about 2-4 gigs of music and it gives me enough space to do a ROM backup, etc.

I have had a Nexus 5 with 32 GB for about a year, and it almost always has > 20GB free. I figured if I never used all the memory on the N5 I sure didn't need twice as much on the N6, so I went with the 32. I'm sure it will be more than enough.
Would I have loved getting a 64GB? Yes but the 32GB will do just fine for me. Coming from a Note 2 I barely used any space on the internal storage and I really only used about 15GB on my 64GB micro sd card. I mostly stream my music so I won't have to worry about that. I also don't keep numerous roms on my device storage either. Worst case scenario I'll just by an OTG flash drive if I really need the space.
Well I was going to wait for the 64 version from ATT.....then my local store received a big shipment of one last night...so I impulse bought it lol. I didn't have an issue with my N5 16GB, so I think I'll just stick with it.
I have more than 21 GB available, so I'm sure I'll be just fine with the 32 GB.
external storage, no problem
now that I found that you can use an external micro usb sitck as external storage... I connect the usb stick, when on the wireless charging pad for additional power draw of the stick, and use it just for nandroid backups and tibu dump site. then remove it, relieving the 32gb onboard just to do phone stuff. plenty of room now.:good:
I ordered a blue 32gb, expect Sensei Kernel on this beast
I just received my 32 GB from Moto. I am really liking it though I still want my 64GB from T-mo that is in back order purgatory.
On the 32gb model, how much storage is available after initial setup? Thinking of picking up a N6 once it comes back in stock and was trying to decide if 32gb would suffice.

24-25GB
It depends how you use your phone... personally i have no issue what so ever with 32GB... in fact i had 8 GB free on my 16GB Nexus 5 , so 25GB ( usable ) is a **** tonne for me
I use Spotify for music and plex for movies , so a lot of streaming on my end
I returned my 32gb and ordered a 64gb... But I'm getting tired of waiting and may just cancel my order and say screw it and just use my iPhone 6.. T-mobile's order process sucks.!

Hello ppl.
I have my Moto X Force since january, most of the time happy with it.
Since I started using my devide I had one SIM card and one 64GB Samsung EVO SD Card attached to it, everything working as it should. Or at least appeared to.
With 64GB of internal memory, I never really needed the SD Card but well, it was mounted and formatted by the device.
On a given day, for no reason I can explain, the device started showing the SD as corrupt, with the message that it needed to be formatted. But when I tried to format it through the phone, no deal, another error.
I removed the SD Card, and waited to come back home because I was on a vacation trip. Well, back at home I tried at least 4 different SD Cards, 2 of them new ones - Sandisk and Samsung - and other SD Cards I use on other devices, like cameras, video apparel and even the SD on my Z3 Compact. No deal, the phone can't read any of the SDs and asks to format. But if you try to format through the device, error.
I'm writing this here to register the problem and share the experience, since I couldn't find another thread with the same problem and maybe to find a solution with no need to deal with Motorola representatives.
connect the sd to the computer
probably will show error
reformat it and insert back to mxf
happened to my with 128gb pny
inserted 64gb sandisk and all well
reformatted and its usable again but i wont insert it as i
have no confidence in it
btw if you're on 6.0 +
did u choose to format as memry or stand alone sdcard ?

That unfortunately doesn't work. I tried several different SD Cards, formatting through the computer too.
And tried both options on my Droid Turbo.
The only thing i haven't tried yet is to completely wipe the device...

No, I'm sorry but I can't help you.
I'm giving up this device. Since I had no problems at all with S6, Note 5 and Z3c and had very similar problems with Moto Maxx and Moto X Force, I'm selling this device after the warranty check and will skip Motorola for a time.
Motorola devices are amazing on theory right now, good battery life, good camera, a lot of features, but in real life use they end being a pain.
I paid extra due to the screen, that I see like an insurance, but it doesn't worth it.

Im sorry to hear of your experience. I really like this phone and ive had a moto x before the old version and like all the features active display and best of all shatterproof. I am going to try a few different sd cards wen i get a chance hopefully one will work but evn iff it doesnt i think i will be ok with 32gb storage. I am not sure i have any warranty entitlement because i bought from ebay although it came fuly sealed i dont think motorola will accept warranty iff bought from ebay.

They will have to accept it, seeing as it can not have been manufactured more than 1 year ago, it is definitely within the warranty period.
I will try to see if they do but I have a feeling they will ask for the original owner to make the request for repair that is iff in deed some thing is defective and it's not just a software problem.
I have a similar problem. My SD card worked perfectly in the phone for a few months. Now the phone will read the card for a couple of minutes after a reboot, but then it mysteriously loses the connection to the card. Have tried the card in other phones and there is nothing wrong with it. Why is the X Force able to read the card, then not?
