Looks like Samsung scrapped the 32/64gb versions

Samsung has changed their website for the Note 2. It now says that it only comes in a 16gb version.
It used to say 16/32/64 gb versions. Now it only says 16gb.
I figured that if anyone was holding out for a different version, there might not be a point.

Well that sucks. I was thinking of getting one, but I couldnt wait and got the white one.

Yeah I noticed that a while back that in one of our "playbook's" (20 page sprint propaganda newsletter) so I went to samsungs page to learn more about it and they had those models listed while our playbook said it only came in 16gb. I figure with a 64gb sd theres no need for that much storage. I just stream all my music from google play / pandora / i<3raido and use that unlimited data plan for streaming netflix and crunchyroll. Using it for all its worth

They would cost more then people would be willing to pay.
Although in typical Samsung fashion it will come out later in different colors.

they should just ditch 16gb and make 32gb the standard model. flash memory is dirt cheap, what is the problem

I googled and the page I found still shows it.
Of course I'm a NOOB and can't post that link

You're looking at this page... probably still there for international versions being the other page that only says 16GB links to all US carriers.

Maybe not
I wouldn't interpret it that way. They probably took down references to the 32gb and 64gb versions of the phones because they don't want to Osborne the sales of the 16gb models, and because of pressure from carriers who are getting heat about not having the higher capacity versions. In the UK there have been complaints against Samsung for false advertising (a crime there) based on featuring the higher end versions in ads but not making them available; Samsung changed their ads in the UK in response to these complaints.

Whats more interesting is the fact that on the global site it lists 1 step tasking/multitasking features which is absent from the US versions.
I will be pretty peeved if that feature does not make it to the US versions!
US version:

International version:

I would have preferred the 32gb version as I had the GS3 32gb. Truthfully though, I never touched the internal memory. I think for me, it's more the idea of simply having 32gb. I store everything to extsdcard anyways.

I hope this isn't true.. but at the same time I wish they could give us a definitive answer as to whether or not the larger sized versions will be made available.
I've been holding off on getting one of these as I don't want to purchase one and then find out that the 32 or 64 GB version gets released a few weeks or a month later.
I just wonder if they took down the reference to the larger models because it's not currently available.
I would probably just go with the 16 GB version and stick a 64 GB card in it, but I don't want to run into problems with running out of room for APPS on the internal memory, which I've heard might be an issue.

Personally, I feel the same way. I opted for the 16gb version and honestly, how many apps can you possibly use on the phone. I have all my apps installed and have well over 10gb free on the internal memory.
My 32gb S3 still has 27gb of free internal memory.
I'm not sure what Samsung's plans are but as much as I would prefer at least 32gb, I'm coping quite well with the 16gb version.

That's good to know and helps me lean more towards just getting the 16 GB version instead of waiting and holding out.
Can I ask roughly how many apps you've got installed?

I have over 200 user apps installed, including a 1.4GB game. I still have almost 6 GB available. I guess if you want to install a bunch of really big games, you might need more, but 16GB is probably enough for the vast majority of people.

There is a way to switch the memory from internal to external and vice versa.
It works on the GS3 so it shouldn't be a problem for the note2.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1772234
Sprint guy told me the rumor is that the 32gb will be out around black Friday. I don't really trust the source but wish they would announce it. I really want at least 32gb plus my 64gb SD card. I could get by with less but always fill it up with Flashing and backups.

That's interesting. It would have made more sense to handle it by releasing then all at the same time. That's what they did with the GS3.
I'm thinking they aren't going to release them this time. I could see the black Friday thing but they'd piss off a lot of people who are outside of their return window. I've been stressing out a bit because I'd prefer the 32gb version and in some weird way, it's comforting that it appears as though it's not available.

64gb class 10 Sandisk is $40 at Radio Shack. Some might have gotten a $10 off coupon in the mail. Can't go wrong.

The 32GB and 64GB Euro versions are now listed as pre-order... personally I'll be holding out for the larger versions...

Me too heard something about thanksgiving release date for 32gb Sprint version

Memory question

I picked up the note 8.0 the other day and I'm really enjoying it, but I looked in the storage section in settings and was perplexed. It shows only 9.78GB of total internal storage available. Is everyone getting that little space? My Nexus 7 had something like 13.5GB free, and my Note 10.1 had around 12GB free. I know you lose a bit due to file system format, etc...but over 6GB of 16? That seems messed up.

I saw in another thread in one of these xda Note 8.0 forums about folks mentioning the same thing, so I'm pretty sure it is not just you. Yeah, it is disappointing.

Yup. Samsung are taking massive chunks for system memory these days.

4GB of bloat above and beyond vanilla Android??? In a mobile OS like Android, that's a lot of bloat when you figure the average large app (not including games) is still near or under 25MB. That's about 160 apps at 25MB each!
Anyway, it kind of sucks. If they are going to eat up that much space with sheet they should make it with 24GB of storage so that when they sell a 16GB device it actually has 16GB!!! Ah well...I'm just *****ing now.

Don't have my device on me, but a df might tell how much of the /system partition's actually in use. My memory is that it's only about 60% or so.
parted can probably be used to resize /system but unless it's adjacent to /data, you'll want to take very careful notes before attempting that surgery.
Fortunately, you can use uni-init or term-init.sh to enable init.d scripts and then mount the sdcard as if it were internal storage. Most of my app data is written to my sdcard using that technique.

But we have an sd card slot, my N7 doesn't. Thats a nice addition to have.

Its not just bloat (apps) but OS (ROM) itself takes up more memory once the manufacturers start to add their proprietary "skins" to vanilla Android. Think of the extra features like Multi-Window and Smart Stay. That stuff takes up space, and the stock ROM is pretty huge (over 1 GB, I believe).
Not to mention, Sammy probaby reserves a chunk more on the ROM partition, in case they want to add more features on future updates.
Its very much the same on HTC devices, as well. On my One X, its also got 16 GB of memory, but only 9.93 GB available as storage.

It would be nice if they actually reported the "user accessible storage" amount, like saying "16 GB memory, with 10 GB user accessible". Since saying how much memory the device has, without telling us how much of it is sucked up by the OS, is kinda useless information.
It would have also been nice, if they had offered a 32 GB version in the US.

No companies report true information like that. Just like cars they give you hp at crank, instead of at wheels, where there is around a 20% difference. Same concept here.

Its more like the car company telling you the gas tank holds 16 gallons, when you can in fact only "use" 10 gallons of the gas tank.

I was trying out the demo set of Note 8 the other day at many different shops and were shock to see the the "available storage" on all the Note 8 were about 3.5GB to 3.8GB. I thought that being a demo set, it could be that there were many apps and useless stuff installed by other users. I've tried deleting useless data and uninstalling apps on 1 of them (resetting options were greyed out in settings) and still couldn't go above 4GB. I asked the staff and they confirmed that the "available storage" is that low. My question is whether the Note 8 used for demo were "different" from those that were for sale. It's quite unbelievable that all the Note 8 I saw (about 10 numbers at different shops) having so low storage available. That's one major reason I have not get my set yet.

Looking at the numbers your talking about, it looks like that demo unit had 8GB of internal memory. The units that are available for purchase are 16gb units and have about 10GB of free space on them for apps etc. In addition to this you also have the microSD card slot that allows for extra storage for media files etc but not applications.
If you are willing to root your device, you are able to use external storage for app data as well though. I should be receiving my 16gb wifi note 8.0 this evening (fingers crossed it has been delivered to the store) and will be using a 64gb microSD card in conjuntion with an app called FolderMount in order to use it to transfer application data from the internal storage thus allowing me to install more apps and games.
If your holding out for a 32gb model you may be waiting a while though as the website customer services and samsung store employees told me that they are not aware of a release day for a higher capacity device.
The storage data I talk about is true for the UK, I dont know if it would be the same where you are, but from what I can tell, all note 8.0s are 16gb capaciity at the moment. Hope that helps.

Thanks. I will go back to check with store on whether their demo set were the 8GB or 16GB version. I've googled for the tech spec on Note 8 and all comes with 16GB or 32GB. The nearest match to 8GB will be on a Tab2. Thanks again and I'm from Singapore.

Alright, I have checked with the store assistance and it was confirmed that at hit on display were Wi-Fi only and it's only at 8GB. I'm a happy owner of Note 8 now and it has 8.7GB of available storage.

[Q] How are you getting by on space with the 16 GB model?

I generally buy tablets with at least 32 gb. I bought the iPad Air with 64 because I learned my lesson with the iPad 2 and filling it up.
When I went to Best Buy to pick up a Note 10.1 2014, they only had the 16 gb model. I could have waited, or picked it up somewhere else, but I wanted to take advantage of Best Buy's financing (18 months no interest) and I hate waiting for things.
After installing all of my apps and downloading the data for them, I have about 6 gb left. The problem is, I read a lot of comics. A typical comic in the Comixology app will run you about 100 mb or so. I delete many of them when I have read them, but I fall behind on my reading fairly regularly and accumulate quite a few. I also have a lot of articles in Pocket that I'm behind on and that takes about 600 mb.
Apps to SD is a myth on Samsung devices. I have confirmed that when you move an app to SD, it just moves it to a folder called "emulated" and really doesn't free up any space. Add to that that Pocket's "store cache on SD" feature isn't working and Comixology won't store comics on the external SD and I can basically only use the SD card slot for movies and music. So, I'm wodering: Will 16 (9) GB be enough? Or do I need to take this thing back and get the 32 gb model?
My real question is: How are those of you with the 16 gb model getting by? Is your internal space filled up? Are you wishing you had the bigger model?

Ive had other tabs that were 16g and as long as I was mindful of where I stored my books and photos I never ran inyo problems. I also make sure my email only syncs 5 days. With my work and personal accounts I get way to many. For reading I use Moonreader because unlike aldiko it doesn't force me to put my books on the device. Hope this helped

I have had 16 GB tablets as well, but they generally have much more of that 16 gb available. All of the touchwiz and SPen features leave us with just over 8 GB on this thing. There's also the issue that, if we fill it up completely, it will hurt performance. So we really only have about 6-7 total out of the box.
I'm taking it back and getting the 32GB model. I love the tablet, but I need internal space.

Just got a 16GB at Best Buy for the same reason as OP (wanted to use financing, didn't want to wait) - haven't done anything with it yet, but I'm getting more and more nervous that I'm going to run into trouble with the storage space - I expected to be able to move more onto an external SD card, but it sounds like that's not so workable after all?
If I root, I have more options, but I'm reluctant to do that if I don't have to... Anyone else have a similar conundrum?

Not sure if this is an option for you, but I bought the 32 gb model from Newegg with my preferred account. 12 months no payment or interest. And no sales tax unless you live in CA. Taking the 16 back to Best Buy. Better too much space than not enough.

you'e kind of answered it yourself tbh...Gaming will take up the majority of the space of a tablet. Applications are normally around 20mb to a max of 100mb and some rare ones larger. Games on the other hand well the high graphic games anyways are over a 1GB so space would be an issue if you were to play loads of games.
honestly if you have no intentions of gaming 16GB would be plenty for you although if you could afford the 32GB then go for it since its always nice to have loads of space.
Ofcourse only you can really decide but I'm holiding out for a 32GB because I would like to have atleast a handful of 1GB games to keep me busy when I'm at the airport waiting for my flight or on the flight itself.

How much storage will be available on the 16gb??

As many of you, I'm considering the 16gb model. I have like 2gb of music and another few for apps. My question is, after the OS how much space can we expect to have.

On my Nexus 5, 12.55 GB formatted/installed with no apps installed, which isn't really a possible scenario. FWIW, I have 3.52GB of apps installed, a few megs of images and other, and 517MB of cached data and have 6.4GB left.
Before installing the Marshmallow official version, I was routinely running into storage problems just with downloaded/cached music after a few months of use.

Yeah I was kinda thinking that around 12gb would be free. I have a galaxy s6 now and there is like 9 gb of "other" storage which is prolly all the Verizon crap in addition to the OS.

Something to consider.
I'm on the marshmallow Preview on my Nexus 6 and I've noticed the OS seems to cache higher amounts of data. I'm constantly seeing 1gb cache in my storage and clearing it. Not sure of this is a marshmallow thing or just some weird quirk with the preview build

I preorderd a 16 and 32 and will return one obvi but want to be safe and not regret not getting enough space down the road.

I went 32 just to safe than sorry. Currently my usage on the Nexus 5 I would have 6GB of free space on a 16 model. I got the 32GB in case I decided put my music and a couple of videos on my phone for vacation trips I will be taking this year.

I saw an unboxing video from a tech blog in India and it showed around 10.6GB available on the 16GB model.

That's been my thinking as well. 32GB is really the minimum if you want to have some media files on hand for those (admittedly rare) moments when there's no internet connection.
I don't need my entire music collection or video collection, just a few albums and a couple HD episodes or a movie as backup. Oh and a few games, most of which are getting into the 2GB+ sizes (Hearthstone, etc.)
Also if someone intends to record 4k videos it would be advised not to go with the 16GB version.

Hopefully this won't be a problem at all. I imagine we will get "lite" roms and such. Something tells me it will be manageable.

As its a pure android phone the software won't take a large space.I think 12.5 GB will be available for users.I don't think 16 GB model is right choice but if you doesn't download many apps and games then its a good option.

Pretty sure they went to settings, storage and under "Total space" was 10.6 GB. I gotta find the video but forgot which one it was.

Pay me no mind I got the 32GB. Honestly if I just stick with my most use apps I would only need 8GB on the phone. I got the 32GB only because I am taking a lengthy vacation. Might want to carry a few movies and also might take a lot of photos and videos while out and about.

Ditto. 32GB ordered and I still have Sprint grandfathered original unlimited data so I stream all my music and video. Can't go wrong with double the space for $50.

Pixel Out of Box Storage

Has it been confirmed anywhere how much out of the box storage we will have with either the 32gb or 128gb Pixels? My 32 gb 6p had 25gb out of box. Im trying to find out of it will be less than 25gb since the Pixel will have the dual partitions for faster/background updates. I did manage to find a screenshot somebody took from the Android Police hands on demo and it shows 29gb available out of box. I will attach the screenshot. Im not sure if that will be same for the retail phones or if these are only demo phones so they might not take up as much space.

So there's 22gb's available, since 8gb of the 30 is already used up.

I got the 'quite dark, XL, 32GB'... I am wondering now if I should have upgraded to the 128 GB. Pictures/Video in the cloud will be great, but I am wondering how much space the VR apps will consume.

I have both 32 and 128 silver on preorder . Trying to figure out if 32 will be enough before cancelling one of them

32GB is pretty lean for a device without an SD card. I don't need the room for pics or music anymore but although I swear this phone won't need rooted, if I DO go there, I'll need room for ROMs & backups.

On my s7 they're around 500mb to 1gb, definitely not small. You'll run out of space quickly.

32gb on devices is not enough nowadays..todays standard is 64gb and up

I'm very worried with my 32gb not being enough. I needed the 5.5 inch screen but I don't know if the storage is more of a factor

I think it's more than enough if you take advantage of the 'Free Unlimited Google Photo's Backup' feature

From what I've heard/seen, it doesn't seem to be much different than the 6P, so hopefully it's the same. I personally don't mind as I still have 14GB free on my 6P. I don't use VR apps or games, so most of the space is for apps, pictures/videos, music.

Total storage on UK model is 29.7Gb minus 5.39Gb for the system so you will have 24.31Gb to play with. I've attached a Screenshot of mine. Xl model BTW if that makes any difference.
