I'm just curious what all you 1GB SD card owners put on it when used with the XDA 1/2.
I ordered mine a few days ago for £94 inc delivery from NYC on eBay. It arrives tomorrow.
If I can't think of anything amazing I'm probably going to fill it up with MP3s, but these seems a bit of a waste of a 'Pocket PC'.
I've got a GPS unit and TomTom 3, so I've allocated 100mb for the UK map...
I've got a further 150ish mb of apps and games from my old SD card that I'll probably keep....
So that leaves 750mb...
But wait, I've still got the 250mb SD card it replaced, so I've still got 1GB to fill...
Suggestions please!
I've got:
1. Some games
2. Home videos made by XDA II Camera
3. Movies
4. TV Shows

I have on my card:
- TomTom D-A-CH (256MByte)
- Wikipedia, complete (!)
- several eBooks, including some law books
- from time to time a few DVD rips (from DVDs I bought!), to watch during a train ride for example
- a few nice pictures
- MP3, of course
But I find it actually quite useful to leave a few hundred meg free, so I can use the card to transport data from here to there if necessary
Cheers

All that space makes you wish XDA2 had USB 2 thats for sure!!!
How is the experience with read/write speed on these 1GB SD cards??
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=52965#52965
I have some problems with my 256MB SD from Kingston in combination with TomTom3 (on SD: maps and 1 extra POI file activated makes TomTom3 freeze when the data-transfer rate gets behind to the needs of TomTom)

i seriously doubt that the xda2 could ever reach the usb2 speeds of 480Mbit
i was seriously considering this phone, only to find it comes with just 16gb of memory, this day in age comeon google,so basically you would need an extra mp3 player for music?
Mine has 32GB but I use less than 16GB since I use Google Music.
I also don't really watch any video on my phone either, that is what my 64GB iPad is for.
Plenty for me. I don't watch movies on it. I stream all of my music from Google music. I think I have about 9 GB free.

Thanks for reply, but hangon, i thought it only had 16gig, were did yu buy yours cause went into vodafone today, and was told it only had 16gig?
16 gig is more than enough
i still have 9 gig free space
Its manageable
The LTE version has 32 GB, the GSM's only have 16. I have a 16 GB version in Canada where we can't get Google Music and its only ok because I have a tablet with most of my music. If all I had was the phone it would be an annoyance.
16gigs sucks. I have to manage my data. And the speed of the internal NAND is slow. My atrix external sd card was 3 times faster and the internal storage was 4 times faster.

Fine for me. Music is on separate mp3 player, don't watch films on it
Lots of space for apps only and a few photos wallpapers

Well in this day and age I believe streaming is king so the only local data you need to worry about are a few photos and apps. The rest you can store on the cloud and 16gbs then looks like a huge amount!
I've been very happy with it and don't see how I will ever fill up this device.
Streaming may be king .... unless you have a restricted data plan like everyone in the uk. So internal memory is a big deal if your phone is used as a music player
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I could easily use the full 16gig, however, if I actually moved all my videos, photos, backups and unneeded downloads on to my pc, I could easily run with about 10gig free.

Is there no unlimited data contracts any more? Good thing I didn't give mine up/renew when I got it a few years ago...
For me 16 gigabyte is way too much. Have around 2 gigabyte of music,a gigabyte of photos and videos, a half gigabyte of apps and a few 100 megabyte of other things like browser cache and kindle books.

Yes. It is enough. 9.01GB free right now.
Plenty of room, got play music for all my music needs, netflix for films and upload all pictures instantly to google+, titanium backup synced to box. Net, what else could you ask for

Yes, but what a freaking hassle lol.
I have the 16GB version as well, and it doesn't bother me much. I am used to having a 32GB sdcard, but that's not an option so I make due. Much like the others, I stream music and watch movies via Netflix.
For someone that has no Plan for storing Musics and Movies, Is the 16GB enough for Apps & Games? This would be my first Tablet & I'm not sure if I should fort out $100 more for the 32GB version. My local shop sells the 16GB version for $150.
Thanks.
1. Buy a refurbished model for less than $200.
2. I always prefer more storage to less. Lots of people can get by with just 16GB, I can't. If you find that 16GB isn't enough, there's always the Meenova or Leef microUSB card readers or the dual USB sd cards.
I have a 16gb and I am not pressed for space. I would prefer a 32gb, but if you aren't storing large files you'll be fine.
Also, I would recommend checking out your local Staples. They have the 16gb for $98 and 32gb for $128 on clearance. The price doesn't show up until check out which is why not many people know of it.

No music and movies, a 16gb should be fine, whereas you should take into account the space requirements of certain games as they might need a few GB in additional storage for files downloaded (e.g. Racing, shooters etc.). I got personally a 32GB Nexus 7 2013 and store music on it, no movies, a few games (6-7, 1-3 high storage require) and my space is more than enough.
No it isn't. Pony up for the 32gb.
I would say 16GB is "probably" fine for someone who isn't going to store music and movies (movies can take up spectacular amounts of space); I have had my N7 2013 since launch, only use it for a few apps and games and am yet to have any problems with storage space. That said, I am far from a heavy user and nobody can tell what the future may hold in needs and desires from the tablet....
As a rule, I would suggest going for the 32GB model if you can (notwithstanding the reported "its only got 16GB after the update" issue that some have reported) but unless it really is an "unmissable" bargain then there is nothing essentially wrong with the 16GB model.
My answer is probably clear as mud and won't make anything clearer, but meh, we all have our opinion as to what we would do - ultimately it is your decision
I have a 16GB phone (Moto X 2013) and a 32GB Nexus 7 2013. I've never had an issue with space on any of my devices. I didn't get the Nexus for the space, it was just the featured deal on Woot at the time, and happened to be 32GB.
I don't store movies or music on it, I use Pandora and Netflix. I do take photos with my phone, but don't save most of them on the device. They get uploaded to Copy and I usually clear them out just to minimize the clutter. If you record video or take lots of photos on a vacation or something, the space could be eaten up pretty quickly.
But for apps, you're probably fine. The biggest app I have is The Simpsons: Tapped Out, which is just over 1GB with all the updates that it downloads in app. Apps that are content rich can be pretty large. My GF just installed the Assassin's Creed Unity companion app, and it's like 450MB or something. I don't think this is typical for size, most apps I see are <50MB, even for games.
Just my opinion, but I think 16GB is probably fine.

I would go with the 32GB if you plan on gaming. 2-3GB per game adds up fast.

bummer, called all stores within 20miles, no Luck. oh well :crying:
If u intend to install many large games, have a lot of pictures and or videos , get the 32gb. If u don't, then get the 16gb for games and add more temporary space with a USB OTG flash drive or memory card reader when necessary. I regret not buying the 32gb version.
Went from a 32gb grouper to a 16gb flo with little adjustment needed overall, except better management for comics and videos if traveling. Even then, nothing loading a USB drive up with and using OTG couldn't fix
Question, with those USB OTG, Do I have to Copy the file into the internal memory in order to read the file? for instance I have a Movie stored on the USB OTG, Instead of coping it to the Internal drive, Can I just play it off of the Drive on the Tablet? like how a Computer is... You can just play files off of the USB drive.
Of course you can direct play, otherwise what's the point (playing an mkv off thumb drive right now)
OTG cable is pretty great for controllers too
I personally think it is enough, if only because my collection of media is higher than a 32gb or 64gb model would hold anyways. I would rather hook up OTG storage for long trips without wifi. With wifi, I'll just stream everything anyways so it's not a big deal. Plus OTG storage options are generally cheaper than the upgraded storage option on the device itself would be and I can use it on more devices. Just my 2 cents.
I have the 16 and it's plenty. But then I don't store media on it either.
I would also support buying 32GB. I had a 2013 16GB which I finally sold. I travel a fair bit on long flights (>6 hours) and like to have my ebooks and music on the device. The lollipop update reduced the available memory more than kitkat. I had to try my luck in multiple ebay auctions for the 2013 32GB as there seems to a real demand out there. I ended up paying about $20-30 more than what the going price back in December.
I always opt for more storage when possible. Better to have it and not need it then to need it and not have it in my opinion.
I have a 16 GB and personally I wish I would have gone with the 32gb model 16gb is just not enough especially if your rooted with a custom recovery and like to keep several backups
Go with the 32gb model definitely worth the few extra bucks
Whats the main reason for getting 128gb if they give you unlimited storage?
Video content / Music content / Offline photos / Documents / Apps / App data

I think the big reason behind people getting the larger size would be for those interested in doing more with Daydream. I chose 32 because I have never used close to that much on any previous device.
I keep about 100gb of music on my device. Prefer to stream offline than to use data...

You are not getting unlimited storage. It is only unlimited Google Drive storage for the videos and photos you take with your Pixel phone. So when you run out of storage on your device Photos will automatically delete photos and videos from your device after which you will need to use data in order to view them again.
Why 128Gig ?
I travel a lot and regardless what people say for me Data roaming is impossibly expensive and WiFi is not always easy to find.
My Nexus 6 has 32Gig the apps and OS take 29Gig .... If I want to have one movie in local storage my device is filled.
I got the 128 because I download all my Spotify playlist to my phone to save data
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
I have Google music and cache a lot of playlists. Even though I have unlimited data I want interruption free music playback. I offline a lot of YouTube videos for later viewing as well. Photos and 4k videos although may be uploaded for free but 4k streaming may not be as fast when you're re watching. Also when going through an album of high res photos, download from the cloud can't be faster than local. Unlimited cloud storage is mostly great for peace of mind knowing you probably won't lose your media

It's kind of an insurance policy into the future. With virtual reality and other things either coming on board now or in the near future I for one am not sure what my needs are going to be in the future and when I say future that could be in the next 6 months. I don't know what 7.1 is going to use up by itself so I ordered the 128 and would recommend anyone who asks to order the 128.

Unlimited storage is most likely only for photos and videos not everything else.
Got the 32GB but I wish they offered 64GB instead, LIKE MY DEAD NOTE 7
95% of my life or more I'm connected to wifi....32gb for me.
Why drive an SUV? Why have a 3 TB in your desktop? Why have a 36" fridge instead of a 22"?
This is really a pretty lame question but the number one answer that may not be as obvious as the rest...
RESALE VALUE... big time, the extra amount you pay will be ,made up for later (not to mention all your fav music and movies when you are stuck somewhere with no data)
So the limited edition blue is only in 32gb size... Guess I'm going black 128gb. Need it for Google music and Netflix.

I ordered the 128gig because everytime I get a 32gig phone about 6 months in I'm having to start removing stuff to make room for other stuff, it all comes down to how you use the device, the unlimited camera pictures/videos is a nice touch but for how I use my phone that free storage won't even make a dent in what I keep on my phone. on the other hand if it had an SD slot I would have probably took the 32gig as I could offload some stuff to the card, a middle ground option of 64gig would have been nice tho.

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

Usually for Phones i will use it until it spoil, preferably 4-5 years, i am not into filming though, but am wanna try to take good picture and maybe some video for experience.
What do you mean streaming services ?
what Cloud Services you used, is it free or paid ( If it is paid, are they any free cloud services, that maybe have unlimited store) ?
You mean that if this phone has usb 3.1, and you have wifi 6 router at home, (With this 2 combined), you can use this phone poco f3 as a portable SSD ?
What does a phone have the capabilities of a portable SSD does though?

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.

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.

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

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)

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
