Galaxy note 10.1 only 1 GB Ram?? (India

I saw the official estore of Samsung India. In their website it is mentioned that note 10.1 has only 1 GB ram? Is it a mistake or the indian model has been stripped down? Share your Opinions!!

It's a mistake

Claims 2GB DDR3, 1.7GB is shown as usable. The memory is fast. 2GB RAM should have been utilized in tablets long ago.

I thought we had 2GB of ddr2 ram. 2gb of ddr3 RAM is great if true. What type does the S3 have?

We only have lpddr2... lpddr3 spec was just announced in may 2012 i doubt any device released this year will have lpddr3

32GB/64GB Note 2 in UK?

Hi guys,
I currently have an S3 and I have a buyer for it, I will be buying the Grey Note II very soon. However, due to the large number of games I have and the increasing file sizes for game data (in particular gameloft games) I would like to go for the 32GB or 64GB version. It is very inconvenient to always run out of space and have to move game data to the SD card. With the size of phone games these days, 32GB really should be the new standard imo.
I already have a 64GB memory card so please don't tell me where I can purchase one of these. I want the Note 2 in Grey with 32GB or 64GB internal memory. Do they exist? Will they ever appear or am I likely to be waiting indefinitely?
Now the buyer for my S3 is getting impatient and he wants it ASAP. I could sell it and buy the 16GB grey Note 2 now, but if there is any news regarding the 32 or 64GB version I will hold out for a bit longer.
Any information would be most helpful.

iphone users will be really jealous.

~i have almost the same case here...but as far as i have heard...the 64 and 32 GIG versions are not gonna be out till after 2012 ends...

Samsung are just about to start releasing an S3 64gb. Doesn't bode well for seeing a Note II anytime soon.
They seem to use the extra memory to even out their sales further into the phone's life, rather than maximize them at launch. Bloody annoying really.

I have iPhone 5 and the N7100. The second is the best

Same boat except in Aus do I'll no doubt be waiting longer! so tempted to get 16gb but know I'll hate it later! Also don't you need a 'micro SD' card? Might do a search and see if there is a 'confirmed to work' 64gb card thread...

I ordered this: KINGSTON SECURE DIGITAL CLASS 10 SDXC 64 GB
I will update this thread once I pick it up at the post office today
I was in the same boat. I wanted the 64GB with 64GB microSD, but it is really unnecessary. To use that space you would need A LOT of movies on the phone. Movies etc can be streamed from your home computer via the Emit app. You can also use dropbox, so even 16+64GB is moooooooore then enough space.

Im one hoping for the release of the 64gb variant soon.
I think samsung have dropped the ball here.
Least the fruity phone manufacturer makes all memory size variants available from zero day

You guys confirmed what I already thought, I can see it being quite a wait until we see the 32GB and 64GB versions.
I've gone ahead and ordered the 16GB Grey Note II today. For those interested in the UK, this is the deal I got:
Grey Note II (FREE HANDSET)
300 Minutes
Unlimited Texts
1.5GB Internet
£27 Cashback.
£31 per month (T-Mobile)
24 Month Contract.
I ordered it today, it should be with me tomorrow.

Will it work one ee 4g network ?

I think we'll see 128GB microsdxc cards before 64GB Note II's...

No, the one I ordered is 3G.
Thing is, I do not intend to use 4G at all yet especially since we can be sure it will cost a fair bit on top of our contracts. I have also heard reports that the battery life takes quite a hit on 4G. By the time 4G is standard across the UK and we have coverage everywhere, I reckon I may have the Note 3 by then...
farfromovin - I agree with you, I think 128GB micro sd cards are literally just a few weeks away now.

If your thinking for waiting before buying the consensus is that is too long to wait for most. We are greedy. But it might still be a good idea as next week ee launch the lte version, this may affect the prices but come November network prices will definitely be affected. Combined you might save £50 in 30 days. This is all skeptical I know so let's say the EV is around £25 allowing for a fall in hype too.

It's funny you say that. I was thinking the same thing. I sure hope so. If this is the case I'd be willing to go that route. Not only is it more storage it's a more future proof solution. In fact the difference between a 16GB and 64GB note will probably be roughly equal to the difference between a 64GB card and a 128 GB card.
... here's hoping.

Got my Note II today, what a beast of a phone. Takes the best things from the Note I and the S3 and combines them, and improves it some. :good:

not sure note 2 would take 128gb sdcard as specs state upto 64gb?

Luckily those specs are often understated.

It can and will. My phone stated 32gb, but currently has a 64gb. Just format it in the phone.

The XC standard is supposed to be fixed regardless of memory size (up to a limit I forget) where the HC standard was different for each capacity. Wouldn't guarantee it but if 64 works then 128 (256, 512...) should be fine.

well you learn stuff all the time in here
ill be on the look out then as i wouldnt mind a large card for my hd films (and no its not porn ).
64gb doesnt seem to cut it for me
side note...the way these sdxc are increasing in size and cheapness on price i can see them maybe killing off usb sticks the way its going...boy are 64gb micro card small cant wait for 128gb ones.

[Q] No Carriers in US have 64GB Versions?

I am with Verizon. Will any carriers be shipping the 64GB version? I have pre-ordered it but it is only available as 32GB with Verizon. I think AT&T only has the 32GB variant too. I do not understand why... Can anyone shed any light on this? I want the 64Gb version!

Too Expensive

That's probably because it's too expensive. People expect to pay close to $900 for an iPhone and carriers are willing to take the risk on an Apple product. Not so much with any other manufacturers.

Unless it's going to be a few months I will definitely hold out for the 64gb version. I have 16gb now which is horrible.

Too expensive is a load of BS. The price point between 16/32/64 is each one goes up $50-100 so a 64GB should cost $349-399 at most. People buy 64GB iphones though not as many compared to the 16/32GB options. The issue is people in the US are CHEAP, the average user just won't spend the extra $50 to get more storage, they cry they can put an SD card in which is only partially true, you can't put apps on that SD card which is WHY we want 64GB. I guess it will take another few years before Samsung drops 32GB and goes 64GB only
I had high hopes for LTE being the one standard to which we could all balance on but those telco's certainly like to screw us royally and will never agree on anything that takes dime out of their own pockets.

I dont see how it could be too expensive. I bought the HTC one 64 GB from AT&T pre-order with no problems. I actually got a hell of a deal on it too. Did it during the free Media Link promo they had. They took the 99 dollars off the 64 GB which made it like 250 and were supposed to re-charge me that when they shipped the media link. Well they never shipped it and never tacked that price back on.

Too little, too late. 32GB is the new 16GB. It wasn't that long ago when phones were 4-8GB. My Note 1 is approaching 2 years old, back then the market wasn't full of 1gig plus games, the camera res wasn't as good etc. To me especially with limited data bigger internal storage is a must.
And as you said an SD card isn't the same when you can't move apps to it, I have a 64gb card for music, audiobooks, pictures and videos and I still barely get by with the 16gb internal storage.

Not that I myself will actually use it...But the Note3 is said to be able to shoot video in the new 4K format. That's a space DEVOURER right there!

I don't disagree, but if Samsung hadn't removed the 16GB version the US carriers would have ordered those and NOT the 32GB. Like I say we need Samsung to just go 64GB + microSD and make it a big value.

My understanding is 32gb + LTE or 64gb + NO LTE
In which case it's pretty reasonable tradeoff to me...
but then I hear about 4 core CPU + LTE or 8 core CPU + NO LTE - now that is bullsh!t

Yes I noticed that. I wonder why or how they are related...

G4 plus 2gb vs 4gb

I bought a g4 plus base model from best buy. the 16gb - 2gb ram model. runs well but im curious how much better the 64gb - 4gb ram model would perform? It is worth the extra $50+? Im considering ordering at best buy and exchanging my 2gb model and use the free $50 bestbuy gift card i recieved when i purchased.
Thanks.

I have the 16gig as well. The stores don't stock the 64gig and I couldn't stand my LG G4 a second longer.
Now, if you exchange the 16gig you will have to return the gift card with it, a new one will be issued with the 64gig. If you are lucky and ask really nice, customer service might let you apply the $50 to the new phone. Don't count on it though. (I work at a best buy mobile)

I mean will it be a big speed improvment? Because its already pretty good.

My old phone was a 16 GB phone, and I could manage fine with it, but I can definitely appreciate the extra space I get from the 32 gb version I now have. The extra ram doesn't hurt either, you'll definitely run into some instances when you wish you had it. 64gb and 4gb seemed a bit too much for the relatively mediocre processing power on a Moto G4 plus though, so I'd suggest avoiding going that far. The 32gb version hits the sweet spot for me.

I'm not talking about storage as I have the SD card to. But I'd assume the 4gb would give it a added boost. I may pull the trigger and order off of Amazon then return this one.

From what I have read and seen there isn't much difference in speed between the two. The 4gb ram will let you have a bit more apps running in the background before slowing down I guess.

I wouldnt mind the extra ram and 64gb storage. Gonna buy from b&h photo tonight. $299 free 2 day ship and no tax. Then return the 16gb model when it gets here.

I really like the extra ram. Android always tries to fill as much as the ram as possible because unused ram is wasted ram. The thing is when the ram is full, every time you go to do something, the system has to reclaim some of that memory for the new task. So the big advantage of having 4 gigs of ram is that you won't have to wait until that memory is freed up to start something new.

I have also gotten the 4gig ram/64gig internal and pretty happy with it. Flashed the custom Kernel as well. Liking it so far..

I can say without a doubt the 4gb ram version runs faster.

I realized swap was enabled by default, with 4 gigs of ram.... I turned it off and still have an average of 1.7 GB free memory. And the phone doesn't have to do any processing to compress part of the ram or whatever it does on a z-ram swap setup.
If anyone wants to give it a try, in a root terminal type "swapoff /dev/block/zram0" without the quotes. It took my phone around 2 minutes to execute.

Sorry... Having owned Android since 2009, and Unix/Linux since they were both babies (35yrs as UNIX administrator*), I'd say,
ABSOLUTELY go for the one with more RAM.
the 64GB? nice, (as is the memory card slot), but the RAM will never get unused!
* funniest Unix admin story. (not at the time though). Had to recover a unix system from the BOOT FLOPPY (5 1/4 inch)
once you F*ck up the root password file once, and need to reload, you never do it again!!!!
*end crappy story...
good luck, and go for the extra ram!

3GB / 4GB which is better and why?

Hi... recently im finding a budget phone and i found this phone it look interested for me.. and i like stock android most of the time but here the problem.. does 3GB or 4GB ram which is better and why?(opinion for budget user what u guys will choosing)

Better is obviously the 4gb variant.
I own a 3 gb variant and trust me it handles every app and game brilliantly.
For Rs700 I can any day add in extra 32gb.
I don't prefer spending 2k extra for memory.

Hi,
how much free ram available on first boot for 3gb variant

About 900 mb.

if you dont have problem spending extra 2k then go for 4GB otherwise 3GB variant is also fine, i have a 3GB variant and it runs well, sometimes it closes apps if too many of them are open but it doesnt force close them while you are in it.
