Is anyone having trouble deciding on 16 vs 32GB configurations? Mainly because of the difference in RAM, with 16/2GB and 32/3GB.
Is there a difference in ROM building based on these versions? Or will all ROMs work the same on both versions? Do any other phones have the same thing, having different amounts of RAM? Not sure if I need the extra GB, but I'll have to see what ROMs support first...
This is all hardware. How in any way would it affect software? It just lets people who need more space for music (like me) to have more internal storage and 1 gb more of RAM which is also really good for people who want speed. For those who just use their phone once in a while, they can buy the 16 GB 2 GB RAM one. It all depends on preference.
32gb
I would recommend 32 gb as all the media files will be bigger due to the resolution. With LG's software there will only be 10~11gb of space left for the user

I agree with you about the 32GB model but not for media files. They can go on external SD card right? 128GB on top of 16 will still do for media files.

Oh right, the g3 will have an sd slot. I'd still go for the 32gb for apps (making the files install on the ext sd is a hassle and the apps won't run when you take the sd out)
Wanting to push this thread because i have the same question... I want to see some roms on the g3. But there is still no answer if there is a difference between 2gb and 3gb in building roms.
No problem here...32gb all the way.
Why would anyone choose 16/2 when you have the option of more storage and ram...makes zero sense.
Always buy the better option!
Sent from my Note 3, Note 2 or S4
3gb version all the way!
What is the model number for the 3gb version and where can one buy it.....?
I'm okay with 16 GB of RAM. It wasn't an issue on my Nexus 4 and it isn't an issue on my Nexus 5 and 7. Besides, with an SD card slot, storage isn't an issue.
However, given the option between 2 GB of RAM and 3 GB, I'd go with 3. Always go with more RAM when you have the option.
Problem is that I am in the UK, so only 16gb coming as far as we know. That means I need to compromise on my storage. It will be a hassle to often move my camera pic and videos to SD card, and Whatsapp doesnt allow it.
I dont know which other data intensive apps will also have issues if i try to move to SD card....bit of a minefield.
Any tips would help ?
Shall I just forget about the 16gb version and get a different phone (I do like the look of this one however) ?
Hi all just want to know how much space left available can be used if i take LG G3 16GB ? Thanks

I would guess 10 to 11 gb of space for the apps and data that cannot be moved to the SD card. For me, this will consist of a few apps (metro newspaper eats loads of space !) , and lots of camera pics and videos (high resolution) and loads of whatsapp pics and videos (whatsapp stuff cannot be moved to sd either)
......that is why i am avoiding getting the 16gb version - LG are such s**theads for not selling the 32gb in the UK...makes me so angry !
I sent an email to LG UK support and as expected, they could only tell me that at present the 32gb is not announced for the UK, nor do they know if it will be or when, blah blah blah !!
I already preordered the 32GB version because
- apps getting bigger like GTA
- Offline Navigation like Navigon need alot of space
- Taking pictures and Videos
at least LG sells the 32GB here. HTC won't sell the 32gb M8 and S5 also not available as 32 GB
perfect would be a G3 with 64 GB internal memory

Thanks wyase9 for your info , i really agree with your reason about avoiding geeting the 16gb, but guess i have the same problem like you in my country (indonesia) only get the 16gb version and still don;t know when the 32 Gb will come. My friend in office also said the same like your reason they suggest i wait for the 32gb version ( Hopefully July 2014 will come )

Do they send to US?
i guess so. Amazon.com will ship to Germany, so i guess Amazon.de will ship to USA. The only question would be, if the european model has the needed frequencies for the US and all the carriers
what about ROMs?
Is it that same custom ROM can work on both variants? Only difference i see is an extra gig of RAM. But needed a confirmation if anyone knows
Hello, should I buy 32 GB ROM 3 GB RAM version instead of 16 GB ROM 2 GB RAM version?

If its available and you can afford the extra, yes, its a no brainer.

Around 5%, but the extra 16GB storage is very helpful.

Like @jhericurls said, the extra 1 GB of RAM is negligble for now (since the apps are optimized for 2 GB), but the extra 16 GB is huge, if you intend on loading any apps directly onto the phone (not all apps can be installed on the microSD card, so for me this was a key factor in going for a 32 GB model). I've got a 32 GB microSDHC card I am using for my media mostly.
I am confused in 2 version of mobile.
1st 4gb ram 32gb and other 64gb.
32 gb just cost 19k INR and 64gb cost 24k INR.
32gb version is avilable in flipkart but 64gb i cant find(.
I have compared both in website like smartprix and found that 64gb version is tooo better than 32gb though less difference in price.
Comparsion
Example: Less rom ,no flash and few things in 32gb version.
So which is good ,you know where i can buy 64gb version in india.
Advance Many Thankx.

I would get the 32Gb version to save money and be more efficient. With 32g2g of internal storage you get plenty of room and you could always expand the memory to 128 Gb with micro sd card. Try going to flipkart.com, they will be selling it there for you!:thumbup:

I'd like to know exactly how much storage is available for the installation of apps.
I'm in the middle of restoring mine and Already Installed 90 apps and have 44.37 GB available
System has around 30gb locked up for it. My internal storage has around 220gb....
My system is 12.61 gb. Nowhere near 30
28.67GB for 256gb model. I think if you have a lower storage model the system reserve is lower.

Why is there only 28gb available for apps when there's 256gb of storage? Shouldn't it mostly all be available? I know Oppo's color OS had this issue, but they did an update where you could merge partitions. Why is ASUS not letting apps use more of the storage? Is this common with ASUS?
I have a Moto G4 with 32GB. 6GB of that is used for the Android OS leaving 26GB remaining. According to the stats I have 20GB available to apps and whatever else I want.

Sorry my bad, 28.67GB is system reserved (Android OS). 227GB is available for apps. After non removable presinstalled Google and Asus apps I believe it's about 220gb free for your own apps.

You are horrible at taking pics..lol. My pics look way better than those. Here are two I just took. One is with everylight out and just my TV on and the other is with all the lights on. Low light on mine looks great
Hey there,
Im almost 100℅ sure im gonna buy this phone real soon. But Ive been looking around at the development section and saw some people talking about sd's. But you can't put any kind of sdcard in this phone right? So could someone explain what they mean? Thanks in advance
The phone doesn't have an sdcard slot.
there's internal storage only, either 16 GB or 32 GB.
I have the 32 GB version, which is sufficient for me and I have a lot of music and pictures.
