Hey everyone.
I created a petition to Samsung to release the 32GB and the 64GB S4, as it seems their microsites are showing only 16GB (the 32 and 64gb has been removed). I'm not sure if they plan to not release the 32 or the 64 gb device or they removed because is not out on market.
However, if we don't make some noise, don't expect that to get respect from Samsung.
Please sign this petition. I will do my best to forward it to Samsung Mobile Division.

Signed in the petition. Hopefully Samsung would stop this kind of practice that only releases 16GB initially then 32-64GB after 3months. :|
Also, I hope moderators may move this thread to the S4 general forums (I9505/I9500) as this is a S4 specific subject.

Thanks khein. I totally agree with you. I asked a moderator and he moved the thread, I made a mistake when I created it. Thanks for the notice

I hope people may see the importance in this. Even those who already bought the 16GB variants may still benefit from this as this will encourage Samsung/Retailers/Carriers (hopefully other device manufacturers like HTC, etc) that there is a 'significant' demand for higher device storage. If this is successfully, we might see a Note 3, ?S5?, other android phones with 16/32/64 or even a 128GB model available at release.
Honestly I don't believe in Samsung that retailers and carriers only orders the 16GB, as some online retailers have the 32GB on 'pre-order' since after 16GBs launch. I am thinking Samsung is purposely holding the 32GB and 64GB for commercial purposes, like releasing the 32GB/64GB in other colors aside from black and white. Or after the demand for 16GB slowed, then releasing some 'new' variants like 32/64GB to increase demand again.
I've signed this, I'm hoping to see the 32GB / 64 GB out soon! Or at least give us an ETA on when..
I am sure that is Samsung fault too. I spoke with a Samsung official and they told me to ask in stores, like he had no idea there is nowhere to buy higher memory S4.
I was in some big stores today and they called to their officials to ask about the stock of the 32gb S4, but they have no info either. Looks like Samsung blame the retailers and the retailers blame Samsung.
We need at least 1000 signatures. This way I would be able to forward the petition to Samsung. Please ask the family, friends, neighbors and share on Facebook, google+, twitter the petition. Come on guys, please help even if you don't like Samsung or have the 16gb version.

I got the 32Gig version in South Africa and I didn't even pay more lol. So I guess they do exist, there just aren't many of them.
Great idea. I've signed.

Yes I heard that there, in Africa, AT&T USA and even in Australia has been sold some 32gb devices. But what about unlocked USA, Europe and Asia? They should do same like Iphone or HTC, Sony etc, releasing in the same time all three version. We don't care the retailers don't order those variants, Samsung should find a way, maybe they should open an online store and sell them directly. I'm sure this way the price would also be more accessible than now

Do you have a lunk to the 32gb version?
Thank you everyone ! If they release it fast, I'm sure those who got the 16gb version can replace it, but only if they release it soon.
@Shtihi, there is no ETA of it. Samsung says that they have it but retailers are not requesting them.
Keep voting and advertise the petition ! Trust me, I will do my best to make Samsung know about the petition, but we need more votes. Faster = better

Yeah they don't mention the 10 to 15 working day delivery time, driving me crazy, I'm already on day 12. Hate waiting!
Sent from my GT-N5100 using xda app-developers app
I got a 16gig and singed. I was real unhappy when I seen I only had 8 gigs left for me to use that is half of what was said to be. I understand the os takes up memory and all but come on half is crazy than advertising it as 16. That is in many ways a lie or misleading from the truth I hope someone can make a petition for them to fix this problem. If thats possible. Didnt mean to highjack the thread sorry

No problem mate. Samsung already promised to optimize and secure more space on the 16gb device, so the petition it's not necessary, at least now. Please sign our petition also. Maybe you can replace your phone if 32gb device will be released

The majority of them in the UK are actually the 16GB version. The 32GB version is only available on very few sites, and the only one I have found that does next day delivery is this site.
http://www.mobicity.co.uk/lg-g2-32gb.html
Thanks, i saw this one before, altho im not sure it is actually the 32GB version? Looks like the mobicity specs list it as a 16GB? Altho the mobicity website won't load properly on my Lumia 920, so i could be wrong. I've emailed clove and expansys about stocking a 32, altho not had a reply yet. Shame really, i don't think 16GB is enough for me without a memory card.
I just bought mine in Denmark and it is the same model as the UK model and it is simfree and 32g. I bought it from 3g here but I use Telia with no problem. I also wonder if the LTE freq are software side since all models seem to support LTE and HSPA+.
I ordered from Mobicity and can confirm that it's a 32GB model. It shipped from Manchester but it originally came from their European warehouse. It's 802 model and there was a European charger with a UK adapter included. Took 3 days to arrive. Working great here
Thank you ? looks like I'll be ordering from mobicity then! What's the difference between an 802 and a uk spec 16GB? Does the 802 bit just mean its 32GB? Thanks again
I don't think there is a difference. I think UK model is 802 as well. This one is the stock 802 without any operator boat, just the standard suite of LG apps. It's unlocked (obviously) and works on UK 4g frequencies

It's my first Android phone after owning only iPhones before and so far my mind is blown by the possibilities and customisation of android.
Installed tasker and my phone now talks to me, reads news, announces all notifications. I only scratched the surface so far I can't believe how much android matured and how much of a difference this huge screen makes to the usability. It's a great phone, the only gripe I have is the placement of the buttons at the back but I almost got used to them by now.

LG G2 32 gb??
I'm about to visit the UK next week for a couple of days. Anybody know a store when I can buy the 32gb version instead of ordering it online? I don't have an UK adress...

TBH I have given up on getting a Contract 32GB version. I find it really strange that over the pond, there mostly selling the 32GB model, where as over in the UK/Europe there just selling the 16GB versions?!.
Seems, I may have to go the Nexus 5 route just so I can get 32GB of storage!.
Basically I decided I want to buy a Note 3, and I found the n9005 model, which I have been told is the higher end model at a great price, http://www.ebay.com/itm/121261259249?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 maybe too goo to be true. Does this look suspicious to anyone else? It says its even unlocked and new. How come other phones are priced for close to $700 but this seller is selling them for a flat $500. Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, Im just eager to get one so I was planning on ordering one asasp.
Idk but if you look up on amazon.de you get a note for 515 euros, samsing phones drop fast in price.
Also if you buy soom you can get the "samsung new your bonus"

Region lock probably not, however band/frequency issues yes. @PatienceWithin bought an N9005 abd it wouldn't run ATT's 4G network so he had to sell and buy an N900A in the end.
Just make sure if you get the N9005 you can run it on your network.

At the current exchange rate 515 euros is $700, T-mo has them for $708 and had discounts for more than $50 before, so that Amazon.de price is nothing special, compared to US. But as others said frequency differences are more of a headache than it's worth it even if that price was much lower, which it isn't.
BTW how come your e-bay listing is gone? Too good to be true?
Samsung said S5 in 16 or 32gb. I want it only if 32gb plus micro sd card.
Has anyone seen for sale yet that will sell in the UK
Both the 16gb and 32gb models will have the microSD slots. The S5 will be available in 150 countries starting April 11th.
I'm not sure about this but I think Samsung tend to wait a couple of months before they release the higher capacity versions. I think it took a extra couple of months for the 32gb note 2 to come out when I got one there was only a 16gb. But that may have only applied to my region.
Could be samsungs way of hoping you buy their device twice. I reckon it would be wishful thinking on their part. But I don't think I've seen a 32gb device released this year with microSD.
I'll be waiting for the 32gb version too, and will also be getting myself a 128gb microSD when they are released.
So far all the pre orders are for the 16gb. That's just not enough free memory for me in the internal storage. I couldn't move my setup from my Note 3 to the S5

It's got to be available to buy first... It's a mysterious phone model at the moment.
Verizon sells the 16GB in store and only offers the 32GB version online, they claim users don't buy the 32GB version due to the extra $50. I guess those same users prefer less food for the same money, less gas mileage for the same money and lower IQ's.
At least there is an online option. Nothing here in UK yet

Once theres root (and i can't see that taking a long time) Folder mount will be working with the S5 so all your huge apps/games will be able to be moved to the SD card in their entirety so the 16GB model shouldn't be an issue, although 32GB would be a very welcomed feature.
For me 32GB should be standard, 16GB in this day and age simply isn't enough., especially if you've chosen not to root the device and can't use apps like folder mount.
Root is no good as it voids warranty now there is Knox. Plus certain apps I have detect root and won't run.

Not in Europe.
Given what Samsung is doing with the country lock restriction it may get harder to buy elsewhere and bring it back to your home country without first activating it.
Yet no places in the UK have the 32gb on offer for pre order yet

See I know no one wants to hear this, but this is where Apple is very strong. They sell all models and colors upfront. AT&T doesn't even have the blue GS5 available. Of course if it becomes available later, the blue will not come with 32GB of storage. Its ridiculous.

Well that's kinda questionable with the iPhone 5s launch (it was pretty much black only for a month or two), but at least they had them. No exclusivity crap. I have no love for Samsung and their exclusivity at every possible turn. They play favorites more than any other company. EVERYTHING goes to South Korea many months before everywhere else. I commend them on the global S5 launch, but Snapdragon 800 S4 anyone? Galaxy Round? S4 Black? As one of Samsung's larger markets, we're pretty left out.
Does a 64GB version of Note 3 really exist in the market?
There is not trace of it at Best Buy, Target, Radio Schack and ebay...
On the paper it exists, but in reality was somebody able to purchase one?
Thank you

I only found one from a Russian website, which I believe cannot be trusted.

64Gb versions of these and other phones are the bigfoot of the phone world... People have seen them, got photo's but no-one seems to own one.....
I don't understand why Samsung doesn't get rid of the 16gb variants and start on 32gb... Android's getting too big to offer only 8gb internal with the rest being used by the OS....

Perhaps in the note 4 we will see both 32 & 64gb options, I went on the hunt for a 64gb note 3 November of last year but found no such thing. Don't get scammed online, if there not available at your local stores there not gonna be available.

Doubtful. Most devices have this problem of not actually selling the bigger versions. Or if they do, it's for one or two specific carriers.
You'll be surprised how well base models sell compared to the higher capacity ones. Don't even get me started on how well Apple sells base models.
So any way, I really don't think that legendary 64gb exists anywhere. At least we have a comfortable 32gb with expandable storage, a privilege a lot of phone deam of.
