Any reason to buy the 64gb model? - X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know sd cards are slower than internal RAM, but anything above 20GB or so is probably going to be media files anyway, so is there any real advantage to having 64gb onboard RAM instead of just getting the 32gb version and adding an sdcard?

I did. I think for the value and resale its worth it. I have a 64gb card, but things are just more snappy with onboard memory.

You won't run out of internal space for apps and their databases.
If you are spending $450, go the extra and get 64GB. YMMV.

It's not about the money. Amazon has 32gb models in stock right now but Moto is telling me I can't get a 64gb model until Oct. 2. If the ONLY difference is RAM capacity I may pull the trigger on the Amazon model.

32GB and 64GB models have the same amount of RAM, I don't know what you're blabbing about. You probably mean onboard storage and yes the only difference is more onboard storage, nothing more.

Got the 16gb with a 128gb scandisk card. When M gets released and we able to use the micro card without root to use the micro card as storage for apps,.... Awesome!

Do you plan on taking 4k video? Yes or no, there's your answer.

With this phone being unlocked, we could very well see dual booting. Roms will run better on internal memory.
And videos. My kids are 2 and 4 so we take a lot of videos.
And downloads in general (roms, etc). Most everything goes to internal storage.

This is exactly what I did I got the 128gb (SanDisk Ultra 128GB Ultra Micro SDXC UHS-I) from amazon and the 16gb from moto maker. I have the card, but not the phone yet .

Seems like it's a personal choice. If you want to 'get it now' go with the 32GB from Amazon. If you can wait (and want to) then it's another matter. I normally wait to see and don't jump at the first opportunity but to each their own.

Been taking 4K videos straight to my scandisk ultra plus card. No problem whatsoever.

Anyone tryed 32 Gb SDHC?

i want buy 16gb memory but may be 32gb have unofficial support.......
You may be better off getting a 16GB card as the 32GB cards are extremely rare and extremely expensive.

in Belarus 32gb sdhc from 80$ (2 class) upto 110-170$ (4 class)

It's a supported format if it's SDHC so it should work. I'd still go with the 16GB because it's the safer option and you don't need 32GB of space on a phone.

You should never say such things, your needs are different from others needs. My 16GB card has 50mo left

Lol... Well yeah, it's possible to fill any amount of space. Having said that, I'd say anything that isn't used on a fortnightly basis is superfulous and as such, I doubt you've got 16GB of 'vital' data?
On another note... the more data on the storage card the slower the indexing and performance. So, I'd weigh up 'needs' rather than 'wants'. Hell, I'd love a 32Gb SDHC crad for my phone, but I wouldn't need the space and so couldn't justify the expense or the reduced performance or risk incompatability.
Still, good point

very well, but can anyone JUST TRY to check compartibility ?
Well i use my X1a as my music player in my car, so my 16gb is filled up, 32gb would be super nice since i have tons of music i still wanna put on my X1, and a couple of movies i may add!!
Is there such a thing as a 32gb micro sd card? I've never seen it.
Does anyone has a link to where I can get one?
I'm using my 16gb, very satisfied with how much room there is!
A 32GB card ought to work, in my opinion.
I wonder what will be the benchmark for the 32Gb? will it be slower that the 16Gb.. for example for the Class 4... is the 16Gb slower that the 4Gb stock microSD of X1?
the x1 does support cards up to 32gb.
or aleast thats what sony said
32GB Micro SD cards cannot be purchased yet.
The link at the beginning of this thread pointed to SD cards, not micro SD.
As the Micro SD slots are so small, I thought it'd be nice to have two in a phone so you can easily add capacity. Mind you, I've still got an 8gb and it's got a wee bittie of room left on it

I want the SGS3 64GB for AWS 1700!

So we got official confirmation there will be a AWS 1700 version of the SGS3
however, no one ever reported when we'll ever see the 64GB version.
16GB is like nothing now in days, yet that's the version that most phone carriers are carrying as it's the cheapest one to get.
Since they are opening Samsung retail stores here in Canada shortly, I'm really looking to purchasing a SGS3 directly from Samsung with 64GB and for AWS 1700, or whatever the biggest size they can make for the AWS band.
like Verizion were the only ones that carried the 32GB version of the Galaxy Nexus
agree, now with the quadcore, 4.8 inch display i'm planning on lots of music (maybe even .flac songs) and TV shows that i can't watch at home because i don't have time, a great alternative.
looking also for the 64GB version.

You're given an sdcard slot, use it, no need to pay a premium for a more memory built in when the memory card costs a fraction of the price.
I'd rather make use of the SD card slot, in case I ever need to transfer between devices
Doesn't the expandable micro sd slot support much faster media? I'm gonna slam a 64gb card in there and be done with it. There's no way I'm going to fill 80 gb...
NAND memory inside of phone is the same as SSD disks have, it is faster than SD cards
Will the speed of sd make much of a difference though day to day? You could use the 16GB for your system and apps then use sd for data storage e.g. audio and video. That's what I plan to do, I already have a 64gb sd so there's no point in spending the extra cash on the phone.
I also want the 64gb model. Fed up fannying about with slow external medias and seperate partitions.

I dunno about you guys,but my Samsung 32gb class 10 micro-sd which I use with my GS2(~45gb total ) is faster than just fast enough.And write speeds are in general better than the internal storage.So a 64gb one would make do I guess.
I have HTC Sensation (1 GB internal memory + Class 10 Lexar 32 GB SD) and SGS2 (16 GB internal memory)
HTC is much slower than SGS2 because of NAND internal memory, it takes forever to install games that take like 30-40 MB on it, while SGS2 does that pretty quick
+1

Does anyone know how many gigs will be allocated for installation of apps i really don#t care for memory.. You just stick in a 32 or 64gb card and your sorted.. Speed doesn't matter to me as long as i can watch a full length monies on a train or coach ride to meet my gf lol..

i certainly hope they don't do the same crap they did with the Galaxy Nexus to have everything in 1 single partition just to show people the full size of the internal memory as 1 usable chunk, instead of sectioned like all previous build of Galaxy phones.
i certainly DO NOT want to use MTS to transfer my files, that'll be the worst way possible to handle huge movie files (8+ GB sizes), the bigger the file the slower the copy, the easier it breaks and you have to start all over again

Moto X Pure: 16gb or 32gb?

Hi guys, just wondering if most users here buy the 16gb version or 32gb?
I currently have an M7 (yes, it's ancient lol) and looking to get this Moto X Pure, but wondering if I should get the 32gb version or 16gb. I am thinking 16gb since it has a microSD slot so i can add a 64gb or 128gb card for additional storage.
Will a 16gb hinder the device's performance? I probably won't have too many games or apps. Mainly the google apps, facebook, twitter, etc.
Thanks
32 . don't let $50 stand in your way.
Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk
thanks, is there a reason to go up to 32gb?
would apps and rom require that much to run smoothly?
I would also reccomend 32gb . Internal storage loads faster than SD card in my experience .
64gb.
64. No question. The more internal space, the better.
Bangin' on my unlocked/rooted

I never filled my 16 gig n5 up and I still l decided on the 32 gig. Future proofing and whatnot especially with Google doubling the size that apks from the play store can be.
16gb. Top-of-the-line 64gb cards often go on sale for around $30, and once android M is out, the difference between internal and a fast external SD card will be minimal. Twice the storage and cheaper than going 32gb internal now

That is my thinking. Android M is just around the corner by the time I get this phone in hands.
64GB MicroSD card with write speed around ~80MB/sec can be had for around $30. Or the 128GB can be had for around $50-$60.
So why pay $50 for an additional 16GB? Unless there's something about the extra 16GB internal that directly correlates to a phone's performance.

Agreed, I'm shopping out cards now and plenty of good options below $50 for plenty of additional storage. I back up often and don't have the need to have to carry large amts of data on device myself. The 16gb was an acceptable and more affordable option for me.
Hi
Hi,
I went with a 32gb with a 64gb sd card!!
Some apps need to be on internal memory to run.
Everything else goes to sd card.
Ken
I also switched from an M7 (love the phone, but it is getting dated) and went with 32 gigs. No particular reason other than a little future-proofing as mentioned. I never really did fill up my 16gb M7 though.

Same here. My M7 with 16gb internal, and 32GB external, still have about 28GB left. Only ROM and apps on the internal, and pretty much everything else is on the external SD.
I went with 32GB internal and an 128GB microSDXC card. I was bumping the 16GB limit with nandroid backups on my old phone, and 32GB gives me plenty of room for apps and backups. The 128GB takes care of my music and videos. Thought hard about 64GB, but $50 for the 64GB or the 128GB external card, the later won in a landslide.
Pls tell me actual storage space in 16 gb & 32gb version of moto x style/pure...
64gb. I believe 64gb leave 53gb open or thereabouts.
I got the 16 gig and bought a 64 gig SD card for $17. After all the nexus phones w/o SD card option I'm extremely happy with it now. Will only get better with 6.0

I ran out of space so quickly with my 16GB N5 that I refused to have that issue again, I chose 64 on the X and will supplement that with a 128 SD, I enjoy podcasts, cache from Play Music and transfer pictures from my sony rx camera to edit and share. Its also nice not to worry about space, ever.
I went with 16gb internal and a 128gb sd card. My tablet has 64gb internal and also has a 128gb card so I'm all set.
The 32gb was in-stock on amazon, and it would have been another 2 weeks though motomaker, so i bought the 32 white,chp,white and love it.
I probably would have done black, red, black. but now that i have mine i see lots of people with the black red combo.
the white back looks great with the white front, way better than my 2013 dev unit with the black front and white back.

What brand/type of MicroSD to use as internal?

Can anyone tell me what brand/type/speed etc. micro sd card will work in the Motorola G4 when used as internal storage?

I'm using a Sandisk Extreme plus 32gb card and have never noticed a slowdown while using it as internal memory. I was previously using it on my old 3rd gen Moto and now have it in my G4. I picked it up at Best Buy on sale for about $24 US. I really don't need to use it as internal now but I wanted to try it that way. I may eventually format it as media but for now it's being used as internal and working great.

I've been using the PNY Elite card. It's cheap (32GB for less than $10) and the read/write speeds are great. No issues on my Moto g4 or GoPro
This is the card --> http://amzn.to/2beqqvZ
I have a standard Samsung class 10 16gb with no issues
Now Using a Sandisk extreme 32gb U3 as previous Kingston 32 GB Micro SDHC UHS-I Speed Class 3 U3?*was reported as too slow for Internal use
Samsung 64GB EVO Plus
Awesome random read and write for use as internal, with great sequential for those videos and large pictures.

Added: I am still using it as external in marshmallow however, I don't see a need for internal as 32gb is PLENTY for the apps I use.

Help with more storage

Hi, I have a samsung galaxy s4 and it's running out of storage. It's a 16gb phone but about 9 gb is unusable due to "misc fiiles", just the way the phone is which sucks. I just need an sd card to get some more storage. I can use this to store files, pictures, and for apps correct?
I can't post urls, I was gonna post a link to the Samsung EVO 32GB Class 10 Micro SDHC Card with Adapter (MB-MP32DA/AM) on Amazon, will that one work with my phone? And I just insert it in the back of the phone right? I've had this phone for a year, its my first smartphone. Im just looking for some morr reliable storage.
Thank you.
Yes it will work. This phone will probably work with 128 GB microSD cards too.
