Hi. Anybody will buy the Google edition GS4? Seems that it is better, in 'normal' 32GB S4, usable storage is about 16GB, so in Google one, i think it only has 16GB version, so without the Samsung plastic feature, its usable storage percentage should be higher.
I love stock android

This memory issue is really annoying and frusterating. Do you think there will be a way devloped that is like a "one click fix" kind of thing anytime soon? its hard to imagine that such a nice tablet has such crappy memory
"This memory issue" you're referring to is?????

The tablet has 1GB of memory, the same as almost every other product out there except a few from Samsung (SGS3, Note 2, maybe one more). Even the Nexus 7 has 1GB of memory, so are you saying it has memory issues too? What about the Galaxy Nexus, or SGS2?
what i mean is..is there a more direct and simpler route to change where automatically nandroid backups, apps, settings etc....
only memory issue I find with my supposed 1GB memory on my tablet and on my Galaxy Nexus phone is the one that takes 300MB away from the the total amount of memory reported by the phone's settings (and any other app that looks at the hardware)... Cannot wait for Jellybean to come out for the Tab 2 10.1, it fixed all my issues with my Galaxy Nexus that could be fixed...
Let's say I buy the 8GB Nexus 4, how much actual memory will I have? I know it's 8GB, but I'm wondering how much memory will the system files take.
on the 16gb version you have a 13gb of free space
Between 5 and 5.5gb of free space.
for 8 Gb I think around 5 free after a few apps
ohh that's quite small and plus its non expandable I'll have to wait for the 16gb, my first nexus device hopefully:fingers-crossed:

They're both coming out at the same time, so no waiting (unless you mean saving up the extra cash).
Hello guys.
Is the a difference bettween Nexus 4 with 8 Gb and Nexus 4 With 16Gb?
I want to buy it but I can't aford the 16 Gb.

Only difference is storage.

Coming from a 16GB Galaxy SIII (which also had a 16GB SD Card in it) I thought there was no way I could buy the 8GB Nexus 4, so I opted for the 16GB.
The 16GB version comes with 12.92GB of available storage due to space taken by the operating system.
Funniest part is, I currently have 11.74GB available.
I could have easily went with the 8GB version. I used to store all my music and photos on my phone, but now that I have integrated into the cloud (Google+ automatically uploads my photos as I take them with my camera and I uploaded every album/song I own to my Google Music account) I find that storing media is completely unnecessary for me.
This may not be a good solution for those who do not have unlimited data or are constantly in areas with no data connection, but for me it's perfect.
just storage size but dont get 8gb if you're going to put ANY music on your phone. 16gb user here and it's still annoying...
Of course it depends on your storage preference. So look at your phone that you have now, what do you keep stored on your phone?
I wasn't sure and bought the 16GB before, but I only use a couple of GB's so most of my storage is empty....
I bought the 16GB nexus thinking there's no way 8 will be enough for me. But i don't think I've ever went over 6GB of storage. I only keep a few songs that I really like (30ish), and 2 or 3 big 3D games. I delete whatever I don't need immediately, like old rom zip, etc.
Guess I'm too organized to take advantage of the extra storage.
I have the 8gb and its plenty if space. So long as u don't save a bunch nandroid backups they take up alOt of space. I use dropbox ALOT now and just store what music I want at any given time on my device. Like maybe 2 GB of music. Also I don't store multiple ROMs no more than 2 at a time anymore. I didn't think I could live with 8gb but I still have almost 2gb left lol.

Thanks for the answers guys!
i think i go for 8 GB Nexus.
Thanks alot!!
I bought the 16 GB version just to be sure I wouldn't go out of space, but I still have 8,82 GB free without storing any music or movies on the phone, just the photos taken with te camera and lot of apps (about 3 GB due to heavy games).
I think could have bought the 8 GB version, but I'm happy with my decision.
Hey Guys,
I'm thinking in getting a Nexus 10. I currently have both Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 16 GB. So far for me in the N7 16 GB has been enough, I'm not a big gamer and consume most of media (movies, pictures, music, etc) from cloud services, the lowest space I ever had was 3 GB available.
That being said, I'm thinking in getting the 16 GB Nexus 10, I really think that 100 extra bucks for 16 GB more is too expensive and if the Nexus 10 of 16 GB has at least the 12 GB available when new I think that would be enough for me. Can anybody share what is the storage available in new 16 GB nexus 10?
What is you opinion guys? are 16 GB enough for this scenario?
Thanks for sharing your experiences!
p.s. there is also the fact that the nexus 10 supports OTG, so I can connect external storage devices if required.
13.05GB

Hey guys,
I've come to the conclusion that my nexus 6p is no longer a satisfying phone so I've decided to upgrade to the oneplus 5. My question is, is there a significant difference between the 6gb and the 8gb versions, I'm fine with 64gb of storage so that's not the issue.
I'm asking because the difference in price is pretty big with the 8gb version costs almost as much as the s8.
Thanks.

I'm a heavy user (150 apps, 30 services running at all time) and I've never seen memory usage go over 4.5 GB.
The rest of the RAM is not idle though, is used to cache the flash memory (data, etc).
In the UK there is a £50 difference between the 2 models. To me, for 2gb of extra ram and double the storage, it is most definitely worth it! Unless you really want a gold one, in which case they only come in the cheaper option.
If it were me, I'd go for the better spec model.
In the US the difference is of $50 USD between OP5 versions, being the OP5 128gb version $530 USD, while the Samsung Galaxy S8 is $650 USD.
I bought the 128gb version thinking in not changing my phone in the next 4 years (who knows what kind of memory-consuming apps we will have in the future). To be honest, I am not even close to using 64gb of my 128gb OP5 internal memory, but 2 extra gb of RAM and double capacity seem like a good deal for the price difference.

Where I'm from the difference is over 100$, where 8gb version is about 665$, for comparison the s8+ is 780$.
I'm a heavy user, and my RAM usually caps around 4.9GB used. That's about 82% capacity if I had only 6GB. I don't like being that close to full. Who knows what types of demands Android 8 and 9 will put on the phone in the future.
But today, 6GB is the "appropriate" amount for a flagship. 4GB is not enough.

They have a promotion going on right now where you by the 128GB and get a free pair of headphones, and if you have the student discount you can get the 128GB + Bullets V2 for $485 shipped.
I like having a lot of storage and 64GB definitely wouldn't cut it but the 8GB of ram is a marketing gimmick. No smartphone needs that much ram. People who are talking about the large amount of ram their phone is using don't understand how ram actually works. Android manages ram automatically like a computer does--if you have a lot of ram Android is going to try and use it and will keep more stuff in memory --but that's not the same as actually needing all that ram. There have been tests on the performance difference between the 6GB and 8GB models and they found that any difference between the two was negligible at best.
I do agree with the comment above me, that's just a marketing. If you don't need the storage rom, and don't want to take a phone because a colour you preferred, just save money.
I have bought the higher version for the same reason as comment here, for better spec, colour, and not too much money for me. BUT, anyway I bought a case for slippery issue that is cover the colour so.. here is the answer
if you need money or you consider 50 for something, go for cheaper version
if 50 bugs is nothing more than something go for .. you can boast with you RAM and your colour in front of your friends.... and here
