Hi all!
I'm planning to get the Galaxy nexus as my next phone, and I'm just curious as to how much Internal Phone Memory it has. I mean the allotted storage it has for installing apps.
I'm aware that it has 32 GB and 16GB versions, is that storage both for data (pics, movies, images) and apps? or only for data?
The Galaxy S2, only has around 2GB of internal phone memory. That's different from the advertised 16GB/32GB data storage (for pics, videos and music). So the S2 only has 2GB of allotted space for apps.
I tried googling for answers, but couldn't find one direct answer.
thanks much!

it's all in one partition, meaning that you could hand all 32gbs as apps, or half apps and half music, and Amy combination of that.

I believe that the entire 32gb is accessible to your phone for apps. Although I think it only shows something around 28gbs available due to what's allotted to the system processes. But maybe some with a bit more knowledge will clarify.
I will say this though, all the memory is to be used by media and apps

Thanks very much for the fast reply guys! (anonninja118, gene_bailey, neederishelp)
I'm not sure why this has not been discussed in many phone reviews made. Other phones just offer a little amount of storage for apps, while G Nexus offers the entire space for it (and for other data of course)!
I'm honestly tired of dealing with 185MB of internal phone storage of my current Legend that I even use S2E to extend my phone storage.
Thanks much again!

It doesn't have to be discussed. Its incredibly well known that there is no SDcard support and the entire storage is 1 partition for everything.

Well, I mean it's a primary advantage over other android handsets which only provide a small amount of storage for apps. Very useful for installing a lot of storage-hungry games! Was just wondering why it was not stressed well enough.
If you have any doubt, I've got a sh!t ton of apps on my phone LOL

Because I had the cash to
because I like to carry my tablet alone, not a wire and a usb stick or harddrive so its a ease of convenience factor.
Because I don't want to carry a bunch of extra peripherals and have junk dangling from my tablet.
Because of course no one Will like to have wire hanging out your device and also internal flash is way faster than usb also pendrive sucks huge amount of battery every time you use it
Liked My Suggestion Please Use Thanks Button
Basically what every one else said the price difference is so low why not have the extra onboard storage. I really don't carrying around extra stuff as it is. Its sorta why I refuse to buy a laptop with a DVD drive, because I know I'd end up buying an external one because all my media is not in the cloud, especially the things I do for work.
convenience. Do you really want to have a tail hanging out of the bottom of the device everytime you want to watch a movie?
I think a better question would be, why would you want to carry around extra crap?
Because it'd rather not have to rely on having a usb stick/hard drive plugged in every time I want to watch something

because it was what, 40 dollars more? what a silly question. I have a 16 gig s4 with a 64 gig card. I need space. my old nexus was 32. my HTC dna is only 16 with no card and at every given moment I only have like 700mb free. it's awful.

I wanted the 32gb, but it was out of stock.
Now knowing that usb otg works i have no regrets though - i think it was a better choice actually!
I'm importing this thing so an extra $40 = more like $60, and i never had any space issues with my old 16gb n7.
Also backed the microsd kickstarter, which is very compact and can store my 64gb sandisk with media on it.
It takes like half a min to copy over a movie to internal and you're done.
Also being able to access and manage files without the need to plug my n7 to a PC (when i want to add a movie) is so much easier, just plug in the portable hard drive and play...
There are some really portable otg cables out there, mine is smaller than an average usb drive.
Unused space = wasted space, so no regrets...
I got the 16GB. My 32GB original N7 was never filled past halfway. All my music is on my phone and when I watch something on it, it's usually via netflix. If I really need that space for some reason (long plane ride or something) I can deal with the OTG cable sticking out.

Personally, since it has no sd card, I played it safe. My music alone would never fill it up, though i have some ~ 3,900 songs.
When I load up game of thrones, it takes some space. I'd use my otg for long trips or if i won't have access for a while.
Also, you can't use otg without an app that will mount it, currently, until its enabled in custom roms.
Indeed, loading up movies & videos for viewing while travelling, it eats up space fast. For an extra $40 seems silly not to opt for the 32gb if one had the availability and choice.

Moral of the thread
Different strokes for different folks
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I am actually a big fan of secure cloud. Netflix and YouTube, Hulu, and other less known sites. I have many devices but I don't think I've gone beyond 8 on any. Just not a prob for me. But I can see where it would be for some. I have like more books on nook than I can readily count, music, games and when it comes to backup's I push to PC, usually wirelessly lol. I find it safer to store on PC plus no room issues. This is a play with device to hold me till the big boys start popping out and I'm frugal. That said I'm coming to like her much more than I thought I would. When this tab gets a few more mods it will really be a beauty.
Like the man said, different strokes.
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.

So you have the 16 GB and over 11 GB free? That I can live with, and it's about what I would have expected from the OS and bloatware... I can't decide if I want to try fot the 32 or just deal with the 15 (I'm not going to game with it, and movies/media I'd run off the SD card no matter what)...

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.

why don't you use folder mount? is an amazing app!
Why???
I just don't understand why anyone in their right mind would want to swap fast internal memory for slow external memory.
External memory will always be slower than internal. I have over 300 apps and half of my internal storage space. As for my 64gb sd card, I have 54 gb used in mp3 The rest is for uploading movies and photos.
No issues with app speeds and video and audio playback.
Well gooberdude, it is possible to get pretty darn quick UHS-I cards now. With a USB 3 port and adapter, mine is darn fast for like $25 off Amazon's gold box. Problem is how fast the actual slot is lol.
In some products it can actually be better to do a swap. On the old Transformer Prime (TF201) and perhaps many Tegra 3 products, the flash chips are so crappy that even a good external card and some duct tape (to keep it in) can be a performance improvement. I've not seen a Samsung device use such crappy storage but then again, I've only used Galaxy S and Galaxy Note, not their budget fair.
In regards to the OP - rooting your tablet and using FolderMount as gooberdude suggested, it is a far less involved procedure. It is best if you just want to move some stuff from internal /storage/emulated/0 (aka /data/media, /sdcard, and /storage/sdcard).
Towards a real swap, it is usually possible by modding your system to think the external is the internal and doing some appropriate partitioning/data magic wand waving. This is an involved enough process vs what the typical PC user understands how to do that I generally DO NOT RECOMMEND unless you are a developer and comfortable building Android from source, hacking the source, and flashing code. In which case, you can also use Google and find out how to do it and how Android handles mounting file systems. Hint: look at Sony and ASUS mods.
Good day fellas,
I receive my poco f3 6+128GB since 10April (almost 9 days), and have never open it as was debating whether to get the 8gb when sales comes and sell it off (Percentage are high that might not have offer), or just get on to unbox the 6gb variant??
What do you guys think ? Does the 6+128GB inferior to the 8+256GB?
Do state the pros and cons, and is the different a big factor ?? ( will use for 4-5 years if possible)
Thank You.
FYI , I am coming from Redmi Note 4 user (32GB + 16GB SD card, 3GB Ram) , using for 3 years + and the phone died a month ago due to IC spoil.
Regards,
Jason
I've purchasrd the 8gb version cause i think it will help the phone last a longer time. 50€ for maybe a extra year of use seemed a good deal to me. The extra storage storage is fast but this phone doesn't have usb3.1 for wired transfer so aside from the performance hels is kinda wasted if you don't have a wifi6 router at home (can't use your phone as a portable SSD).
I've lived with less than 8 gb of avaiable storage till now and i'm used to have everything on cloud so i'll never fill those 256 gb. They're useful if you want to film long 4k videos with the phone or you don't use streaming services.
if this phone had a better cabled connection i will always vouch for the 256GB version but beacause it's slow i think it depend only on how long do you plan to use this phone

I use Onedrive for work purposes, Google drive for generic things and Amazon photos for pictures. i've also a NAS at home for mass storage.
For streaming services i mean Spotify/tidal, Prime video ecc. if you don't use those and you still want to listen to music or watch a movie having more interna storage might be useful.
UFS 3.1 can saturate a usb3.0 connection, so if you have avaiable space you could use a phone like a portable ssd. unfortunately this phone only has usb 2.0 so it transfers files at a slow rate over USB.
to transfer files at high speed with this phone you better use wifi 6 or 5. Actual use wifi 6 speeds are on par with USB3.0 but using wifi is not as practical as a wired connection

Onedrive, google drive and amazon photos, are you paying for more storage (monthly subscription) or used the free storage?
Streaming service like Sptofiy/tidal, but isn't the streaming service cost data (I have limited data)??
Cloud junk is a sick battery draining joke.
If you have an SD card slot your ok with the smaller internal memory otherwise not.
6 gb of RAM is enough but... more RAM and internal memory are always good to have.
I think it's totally depending on your usage. If you take vids/pics regularly & gaming is important to you (at least when you need), or switch between apps frequently for productivity, 8+256 would benefit in the long term. Extra $/€50 would make the phone more future-proof.
Personally I have 8+256 Poco F2 Pro as my spare phone for gaming, which average memory usage is ~3GB. I picked 6+128 F3 this time as the extra memory & storage is useless for my case.
You will notice significant improvement from your old phone no matter which version you will be using. If F3 would be your main phone, get the 8+256 variant in case you need the extra bits one day.

It's not reliable. Multiple hdds backups are the only way to go. I have over 340gb of data on my phone making cloud storage a complete joke.
Sandisk makes C port flash sticks that transfer at about a 1gb @minute. I use a .5tb one to backup my phone SD card then at least 2 hdds to back that up. Some of my data backups are on 5 hdds in multiple locations.
There are only two types of computer users, those who have lost data, and those who will.
Plan ahead... $hit happens.
you dont have to use the usb for transfering files,you can also use one of the many wifi file transfer apps and with AC wifi get some nice speeds that are much faster then usb2.0

The high capacity flash stick is as good as it gets. So far the .5 tb Sandisk is working well.
I will not buy a laptop or a phone that doesn't support a data drive (SD card). Been setting up my all machines with OS/data drives for almost 20 years. Easier, faster operation and better data security.

yeah F3 is my main phone, the 8+256 variant is out of stock, might take a month to restock and may not have the early bird discount anymore.
what do you mean by multiple free plans linked with multiple mails ?

I don't think they will offer sales @ early bird price again in a near future, though you might be able to get other sitewide discounts (e.g. $20 off 2xx).
Given your Redmi's broken, if 128GB is enough for you, don't wait for the 256GB variant. Even if you'd like to switch to a 256GB F3 later, the 128GB one won't sell too low in 2nd hand market.

It's not reliable. Multiple hdds backups are the only way to go. I have over 340gb of data on my phone making cloud storage a complete joke.
Sandisk makes C port flash sticks that transfer at about a 1gb @minute. I use a .5tb one to backup my phone SD card then at least 2 hdds to back that up. Some of my data backups are on 5 hdds in multiple locations.
There are only two types of computer users, those who have lost data, and those who will.
Plan ahead... $hit happens.

i don't think my way of doing things is wrong. Even free cloud storage uses enterprise machines, they surely have more copies of my files, is nearly impossible to loose them. Also all the cloud storages i use are synced witch mt pc that is synced with my local NAS. this way i have multiple delocalized copies of my most important data without moving a finger. this doesn't count the general backups i do on external drives every 6 months

for example make more Gmail accounts. Every account has 15Gb of free Google drive space. you add all the accounts in the Google Drive app et voilà you have multiple 15Gb cloud storages for free. same goes with onedrive ( in my opinion Onedrive is better but offers less space and MEGA has the worse app but offers more free space so choose based on your needs)

You mean the Google Drive app, preinstalled in poco f3 ??
Is there a limit on how many gmail accounts you can have in google drive?
Will the photos/videos in google drive disappear after 6months , 1 years, 5 years, 10 years???

1)Yes
2)not that i know, evey account is considered a different person
3) you need to login every once in a while but they send you a mail before deleting your stuff due to inactivity

3) Since you have added your multiple gmail account (let's say 20 gmails account), into google drive, but before u added in, you need to login right? Doesn't that consider login ? So why need to login every once in a while though ???
What's the longest photos or videos you have kept in google drive until now ?

your phone can sync with only one account at the same time so when you switch account you log off. your other ( not main) accounts remain saved but they're inactive. With the poco you can clone apps so maybe if you need more accounts synced at the same time you can go that route
