Why no 32 GB out of the gate? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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..

32 GB version of Note 2....?!?

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....

Me three! Can get from Mobicity/Clove/Hantec but would prefer a 32/64gb LTE (a bonus) carrier version to come to Aus! Waiting is driving me crazy....want this phone! 4G definitely not essential for me but (at the very least) 32gb is

Me four
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

I want to ask you where is the shop or online store you bought your note 2 from?
How much of the 16gb is actually useable?

[Q] storage issue s4

My s4 is showing 8gb storage any ideas why?
If you have the 16GB version of the S4.
You will have been 8-9 gb free, the rest is used by firmware and partitions.
how do you have a storage issue? buy a 64 gb sd card and never worry again!
just use the 16gb internal for apps & maybe a few ROMs
You can't install apps to a micro sd card though..
Sent from my XT890 using xda app-developers app
nobody suggested installing apps to the sd card. 8gb should be more than enough for most apps. if it isnt enough for the ones you use, return it and get the 32gb version

There is no plans for anything higher in UK though then 16gb must be wla way around it

9 gigs is so tight x:
after 2 bigger games, 3 mid sized ones and all your apps it's full... thank god for FolderMount
9 gb is cutting it close, one of the reasons m getting the phone is bcoz Galaxy s phones r so good at high end games.
this might be a deal breaker
It's a joke. Samsung claim they are selling the S4 in 3 memory sizes and now won't bring 32/64gb to UK. For a top phone you need more internal memory for apps and games.

well didn't they sell the SIII in all three versions there?
and they weren't released at the same time, so I would be inclined to guess that it would be the same with the S4

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?

I have a 64gb sd card in my s2 already about 3/4 used. my s2 is a 16gig and no more space for app updates. I want either 32 or 64gb,

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.

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

Carrier/storage question

I'm still holding out for the 32gb version of the Galaxy S4 on Sprint.
Any word?
Also is there a way to get the 32gb version on Verizon and use it on Sprint?
Thanks

no clue about your question. But why not just get a big SD card?
A 64GB card is a lot cheaper than the price difference between a 16GB to 32GB phone
I want the bigger memory on the phone PLUS the 64 gb sd card

Well get a different phone then. The S4 only comes in 16gb on Sprint.
This message brought to you in part by Sprint and the letters GS and the number 4

S5 16gb or 32gb

It has a internal SD card slot, why do u care 16 vs 32? You can buy a 64gb microsd for ~$50

I have a lot of apps on my S4 now and it is 32gb with 64gb SD card. On my S3 I have 16gb and I didn't like the message you are running out of space.

Mine S5 (SM-G900S) has 32 gb.
I haven't had to compromise and am happy with 16GB and my 64GB external.
