Curious what people are going to get if getting the new tablet. 64GB, 256GB or Unsure.
The pre-order promotion (free keyboard cover) in my country (belgium) only applies to the 64 GB model, so I voted 64 GB...
So maybe to help people with sizing... was just at the store looking at the 64GB display model.
So out of it, it had 35.3GB usable on the device, with.. roughly 7.5GB installed from apps and some promo video/images. So overall max of 42.8GB roughly.
Without a doubt, I am getting the 256gb version. I am replacing a failing tab s 8.4 with 16gb version. Currently with the games I play, I fill the internal storage very fast. And trying to use external storage really slows down the performance. So I would rather not run into that again in any way. Hoping this tab can also last me 4 years like the last one did.
Got the 64GB model after reallying thinking about it and took a chance. 52GB actually usable space! Whew [emoji3] Plenty for apps, and general storage. Videos and such on SD Card is good for me.

I got the 64GB version, I'm on the fence with this purchase, on the one hand it's a decent enough tablet. On the other hand, Dex needs to be fleshed out more, but is better than ANY chrome os laptop/tablet-hybrid I've tried.
Some Advice: If you go with Best Buy, get the insurance on it. I found out a few years ago with my Samsung Watch that one feature of insurance they don't tell you about is the ability to trade up. Meaning you can sell them your outdated device at the EXACT same price you paid for it, taxes included and it goes back to you in Store Credit. Meaning. Buy the 64GB now, turn it in for the 256 when it comes out, since it wasn't at my Best Buy and they inferred that it was coming at some unknown time. I live in Chicago.
in Canada, the 64GB is already priced ridiculously. the 256GB is the better "deal" but the price can't be justified given last gen specs.
IMO Samsung should have made a "standard" Tab S4 @ current specs, and then a Tab S4+ @ 256GB, 6GB RAM, Snapdragon 845, LTE.
I am based in the Netherlands and would like to purchase the 256Gb model, but it appears that the 64Gb model is the only one (initially) being released in the country.
I checked a few other European countries, but the same situation seems to apply there, too.
Does anyone know of a list of which models are to be released in which countries? I'm currently out of the country until September and travelling back via Dubai then, so if the device were available at the airport, I could pick one up there instead of pre-ordering on-line from a Dutch shop. Of course, I won't then get the good pre-order deal on the keyboard case, so I have to factor that in, too.
So, if I bought a 64gb model and stuffed it with a 256gb SD, would apps be able to be stored on the card? In short, would it behave as a pure 256gb model?
Thanks

Most things do not write to the SD card. Only apps I'm aware that do are multimedia applications, which really is the bulk of the storage space on a device typically.

Nope! All of your apps will install to the internal storage. Some apps will store some data on your SD card (not the same as installing to SDcard) . In short it will be nothing close to having 256gb internal storage. That's why I purchased the 256gb version and expect to take delivery by tomorrow.

I presume you are not in the UK. Only 64gb is available here?
voted 256gb
...but the LTE version only comes in the 64gb variant. Yet another disappointment in what would otherwise be an awesome tablet.

Yes, I saw a youtube video and the guy had a 256g LTE version. Don't recall the region/location.
Happiness would be a 256g LTE with the voice phone radio/ability
Definitely the 64gb, I already have a 256gb microsd card. You can force apps to sd in developer options, but honestly I only need the storage for movies and comics, which is built into the apps I use.
Does anyone know online store in eu where to buy 256gb version? (With or without lte.)
My country's limited period promotion is free upgrade to 256gb. So I got that
After being sceptical about buying the 64gb version, I have now had a few weeks to see how it goes. I have around 150 apps and a 64gb sd card. The main storage is less than half full as is the sd card. I no longer hanker after the 256gb. Very happy?
TL;DR: I'm debating the Tab or iPad, as I don't particularly like Apple's ecosystem, but all the useful apps pertaining to my interests are on iOS. Between the two, both of these devices cost the same for me whether it's 64 or 256GiB. I would go for 256.
You know I've had an Nvidia Shield since 2013. People were still saying that 16GiB should be enough for storage (arguably even 32). This is considering that games, even then, were starting to become fairly large for mobile gaming. I've actually used it up to about this year - though it's slow even on clean install, and the issues of overall sluggishness were never addressed with any update (since Nvidia was quick to ditch support once their tablet came along). It's at a point where I can't do anything on it today other than emulation, but I want to be able to create music and edit videos on a tablet.
I'd plan on obtaining the Korean 256/6 GiB version since it's the only model I've seen in that capacity - though I might have to sacrifice a leg (customs/tax and UPS's bologna "brokerage fees") for this thing costing an arm to begin with. However, also plan on keeping it as long as my Nvidia shield, and even longer. My personal use is mostly going to lie in multimedia creation and some mobile gaming. hopefully I can run a DAW like FL Studio mobile without issue on it but by reviews it seems buggy on a lot of modern devices, so I'm hesitant to drop money on something that may or may not work -- though I have Caustic 3, which works without issue on my Note, but is limited (made for much older devices).
Unfortunately there seems to be a lot of junk apps on the Play store that "you may be interested in". This is what's throwing off my decision to buy the tablet. Too many fart soundboards and fake DJ apps, and not enough professional apps - please correct me if I'm wrong - they seem to be sparse on Android. There is SoundCamp, and while it uses some device features, I don't really care for it.

Yep, it's true! I just put £440 down for a Dell Venue Pro at Clove;
http://www.clove.co.uk/dell-venue-pro
It has been confirmed that it has an SDHC slot, so I ordered a 32GB Micro SDHC card from Amazon as well. The phone comes with 8GB on board so I'll have a total of 40GB. It's scheduled for delivery on 8th November.
So why a Dell Venue Pro?
1) It has a hardware keyboard, which I prefer
2) The screen is a huge 4.1" AMOLED (yum)
3) The glass is "Gorilla Glass" toughened
4) It's one of very few SIM-free handsets available in the UK
5) It has 1GB of ROM
6) It won't be cluttered up with much OEM garbage
7) It's less expensive than the Omnia / HTC etc
8) It has an SDHC card slot, which none of the HTCs or other UK phones seem to have
Looking forward to taking delivery and filling up that 40GB with Moo Sick.
Well, if the specs are correct and it really has memory expansion slot, I think we have a winner here
Both Clove and Expansys clearly state the SDHC slot is there, if it isn't I shall be returning the device. I took screenshots of the info for later use if necessary
It's a helluva phone with all that lovely storage in it!
the Sandisk 32GB is like class 2 i think?
i'd've gone for a 16GB that is class 6 or 10. if the read/write rate is atrocious, it makes managing a large capacity like 32GB unbearable. but if you have speed, it makes it all better.
Hey,
Is it 100% that the Venue Pro (why, oh why, did they dump the Lightning name??) has SDHC support? So often sites show specs but they end up being wrong so I was wondering if you've seen it confirmed anywhere else other than Clove?
If it's true then THIS is the phone I'm going to get - and to think, I almost caved and went to get an Omnia 7 tonight *phew*
to bad that one selling there is not the US 3g compatible ..bands are 900/2100.. need to be 850/1900 for usa
and i have the feelings t mobile wont have this in nov.. ****...
Yes it's class 2.
I've been running a class 2 16GB card in my HD2 for a while without any issues. Speed is only really important for writing to the card anyway, and class 2 is perfectly capable of playing video and music so there's no problem at all. I prefer storage size to speed on my phones anyway.

I think your right with that
can someone please provide a link to buy a fast sdhc card from somewhere for this device? 16GB or 32GB.
almost all WP7 phone will have a "SDHC slot", but it's used for a "embadded" sd card which holds systems files and "internal" storage. Say for Dell Venue Pro, you reads there is a 8GB storage, meaning there is a 8GB sd card in that slot. you can't use the phone if you removed the original sd card, as I understood from M$.
If you have to removed the 8GB card for the 32GB, then you wont have 40GB. Also, I do believe you can switch them out. You just might need to hard reset after.

It's probably going to lead to a slow feel and experience as well; switching the default card for a class 2 card.
A NOTE ON WP7 AND SD CARDS:
At the moment, no publicly available microSD card has the correct characteristics to be used as internal memory for WP7.
The "Class" system for SD cards measures minimum bulk transfer speeds, while this is useful for devices like cameras, it is not so good if the SD card is being used as a device's main storage.
This is not FUD or BS - the micro SD cards being shipped with the phones have a lower latency and random read\write rates than the normal ones you can purchase.
The reason they are including user-accessible slots is such that 1) the carriers can offer different capacity sizes in-store when selling the phone and 2) (hopefully) in the near future they may be cards that are publicly available with the correct characteristics that can be certified to work with WP7.
For the time being, I would recommend holding off on buying a micro SD card for your WP7.

Engadget as well just outted their Focus review which has 8Gb of internal storage, and they added a 16Gb card. Go check it out
Are the 64GB models already available anywhere? Anyone has a reference? Thanks.
Sorry dude, been looking for one as well and its no where! We might have to wait a few months!
Right, who knows when and where will these show up... if ever, of course. But if they do hopefully we'll hear about it here.
The N7000 32Gb models showed up a few months after the launch, initially in Austria, and the 64Gb 10.1 Notes became available at launch, but only in Russia so far, AFAIK.
Doesn't look like the 64 and 32 Gb models are available yet, e.g. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1927370 ...

People's needs vary... For example I have "96GB model" N7000, so "your 80GB model" N7100 is hardly an upgrade from the storage point of view
i think it is samsung trick to increase sales. When sales doesnt increase a lot, they release 32gb version, when 32gb versions sales doesnt increase a lot, they release 64gb, something like was with s3. Just my 50 cent

Thanks for the link! YouTube shows that the video was uploaded two months ago. So if the guy in the video is correct, then that would mean that the 64GB model was available, pretty much, at launch in Korea... But we haven't heard anything, have we?
All we have is him saying that "it's a 64GB version" in the video, or something to that effect. I didn't notice any shots in the video showing that it was indeed so... I wonder if it actually is a 64GB model?..
It is. There's another video he has that shows proof. He also has a xda account. Maybe you could try messaging him?

I am looking to buy a SGN2, but want a 32GB version.
The Samsung website suggests that larger memory model could be made available but perhaps on the "International" model.
http://www.samsung.com/global/microsite/galaxynote/note2/spec.html?type=find
I looked at the websites of all the North American carriers which are compatible to each other: they are AT&T, Bell, Telus, and Rogers. I am only interested in these carriers (not Sprint, Verizon, etc). All of them only show the 16GB model to be offered.
Will any of [AT&T, Bell, Telus, and Rogers] eventually carrier the 32GB model?
If so, is it known (or reasonably speculated) when the 32GB be offered?
Not sure about US carriers but you can find it on pre-order now

If it's one thing I've learned about Samsung, when it comes to other models of their products with higher built-in memory, don't hold your breath, especially for carrier specific versions on top of that! You'll be blue in the face before it happens...
Just get a 64GB micro SD card and be happy with that, seriously. Plus, the Note 2 supports exFAT right out of the box, so as long as your SD card is formatted that way, you no longer have to worry about the 4GB file size limit of FAT32
Thanks for the comments.
I further noticed that the Galaxy Note 1 was offered only in 16gb flavour throughout the Canadian and American carriers, despite Samsung suggesting that 32gb was possible (evidentially never for the NA market). From that, I will speculate that the 16gb will be the only memory size for the Note 2. (I am guessing they are doing that to keep the price down on an already very costly device.)
By the time you are able to get your hands on a 32/64GB version, the S4 and GN3 will be arriving soon. Wished Samsung would be smart & make these models available sooner rather than later.

I totally agree with this.

I mean, yes we do get expandable storage, but having that 32 or 64 gig start is always nice. Not only that, but 16 gig feels so last generation. LOL
Ya, I wouldn't pay for the extra 16gb of storage. There's really no point, IMO. Considering, like someone else mentioned, it supports up to 64gb SD anyway.

Well, the point is that 16GB internal + 64GB external is 80GB, and if you want to store more than 80GB on your phone, the 16GB internal configuration will not allow that, while a 32GB or 64GB will allow more than 80GB total storage space.

How many people actually require that amount of local data storage on their phone these days? I mean, I have the 16x64 setup on mine, and I have never felt cramped for space, ever. Seriously, I have like several HD movies and TV series on my 64gb card, and even then I'm only taking up about half the capacity. As for all my 30+ gigs of music, that's all in the cloud with Google Play Music.

That implies that you don't listen to music very often, that you're usually on wifi, or that you have an unlimited data plan and charge often.
Seriously, the "cloud" doesn't work for many people when the cost of data is so high.
(On the other hand, I manage fine with a 16GB phone + 64GB microSD card - and no "cloud" usage.)
There's also a good chance that a 128GB microSD card would work, but just wasn't tested. I know that several older devices (that only claim to support 32GB cards) work fine with 64GB cards when formatted as FAT32.
Personally, I prefer removable storage to phone internal storage anyway. If the phone bricks, you can take the microSD card out and read it with another device.

I bet Samsung would sell even more if they had 32/64GB version like the iFruit company. 32/64GB nand memory can't be all that expensive can it? Is there a parts shortage?

I listen to my music very often, wifi is ubiquitous, and though I do have unlimited data, I don't use so much of it that being on a tiered data plan would make any difference to me. The cloud is here to stay, whether people embrace it or not.
Sure there will always be a desire for more local storage, but that's why we have expandable memory and, in some cases, multiple cards.
At least this time around, with the new design, you no longer have to power down the device just to swap out a card
Remember, you can also get a micro-usb to usb adapter and plug in a flash drive as well for additional storage. Not ideal but you can load up on media this way.

I can say that I tried. While I was using a 16GB GSM gnex as my primary device, it forced me to use "the cloud" for music storage, and my data usage doubled to over 1GB/week (from about 400MB/week.) Being on a 3GB monthly tier, this was a slight issue.
64GB microSD is working on the Note 2 stock rom and it only costs $60 on amazon.

Hi,
I have a chance to buy discount a 256Gb microSD card. I read the specs available anywhere (mostly GSMarena) and they all seem to say that the Lenovo P2 can take maximum only 128Gb card. I remembered reading somewhere that almost any phone with an extension microSD slot (except for those with 32Gb or 16Gb specifically) can be extended to basically 2Tb but I'm not sure. Can anybody chime in with their experiences? The reason for this is 1/ the discount is great and 2/ I travel a lot so I'd like to keep all my movies, tv series, music etc on my phone.
Thanks.

I give You my advice because I remember my experience with my previous smartphone which was a Sony Xperia T L30p.
The limit was set by Sony to 32Gb.
I installed on it a 64Gb sdcard, the Xperia T recognized immediatly the card and I have used this card near 2 years till I bought my P2 4 months ago.
Hello guys, does anyone know if uhs-ii is leveraged by s20 ultra? As far as I know earlier models only benefit from uhs-i and hence no need to get ultra fast card. With 8k and huge files could it be that Samsung bumped the microsd spec?
It seems Samsung does not make itself uhs-ii cards. I looked at AData, ProGrade and Lexar. From tests it seems ADATA is fairly impressive at speeds exceeding 200MB/s for both read and write

Unless some really low data rate is utilized, I cannot see writing capture directly to any removable storage with 8K/24 output. The device will become unresponsive.

Where did you see the speed stats for Adata? Link, please. Thanks.
The phone supports UFS cards, according to the two Samsung support people I spoke too. So you could aways try those but I believe only size available currently is 256gb and smaller.
Google model MB-FA256G/AM
I have one ordered when it comes I update my findings with the UFS card

Take their words with a pinch of salt. i spoke to one personally and he told me the phone does not support UFS card. The only way to find out now is hope one of the owners can test it and share the result with us.

I looked a this test
https://www.anandtech.com/show/11974/adata-premier-and-xpg-sdxc-and-microsdxc-cards-review/3
I actually made an error and looked at the SDXC figures for the 128GB card. I should have been looking at the 3rd page (linked above) that is about microSDXC.
ADATA microSD does not seem that fast unfortunately. I can get the Lexar card too. I really have no preference. Lexar simply seems a bit better. That would only matter if the phone support UHS-II.
UFS card support as speculated above will be fantastic. I do not see it listed in the Samsung S20 Series Specs though. I only find the following on Samsung web site (all other sites kind of copy creatively this text and likely mess it up due to negligence or sheer incompetence.)
Single SIM model: one Nano SIM and one MicroSD slot (up to 1TB)
Dual SIM model (Hybrid SIM slot): one Nano SIM and one Nano SIM or one MicroSD slot (up to 1TB)
*SIM card sold separately. Availability of Dual SIM may vary depending on country and carrier.
*MicroSD card sold separately. Availability may vary depending on country and manufacturer.
*eSIM supported on Galaxy S20, S20+, and S20 Ultra models. eSIM requires a wireless service plan and allows you to activate a mobile network plan without the use of a Nano SIM. eSIM availability may vary depending on country and carrier. Check with your carrier if your mobile network plan supports eSIM.

Thanks! I looked into some V90 MicroSDXC cards, and it appears that Delkin Power is the fastest for write speeds. However, it's pretty expensive, and I ended up getting a 128GB Lexar 1800x card (probably the next fastest one).
Hoping that the Ultra does indeed support UFS! Cheers.
still waiting for confirmation of samsung ufs memory card compatbility with s20 ultra. i would like to get one and test but unfortunately it's only sold in US.
I ordered the 256gb UFS card from Samsung early February but still hadn't been shipped yet but once it comes I'll let you guys know if it works in Samsung ultra (USA version).
Has a 6th March estimate shipping date.

Hi, it seems UFS hasnt the same form factor as MicroSd (+ different pins?) , so how could it work except if you could change the tray with sim+sd and theS20U has been designed for it?
Should be arriving tomorrow or day after, huge delays because of the virus etc. Ended up ordering from Korean seller on eBay as Samsung kept delaying, finger's crossed if it's legit plus actually works ?

Lol ok thanks. Thought you have disappeared after so long.
so I got the card today, and it sits in the micro SD slot just fine, but the phone sadly doesn't detect the card at all. tried all sorts of stuff but it wont detect it.
so that's that!

Just what i was guessing in post#12 , it s not the same pin design and interface , if i read correctly what i saw yesterday ufs cards should be for Note 20 : first Samsung's Smartphone with ufs3.1 Memory
to keep high speed rates with external memory , should be logical to give up SDcards and offer a slot for UFS cards in Galaxy Note 20

Thanks for trying and reporting back to us.
I know this isnt about UFS cards. Hopefully someone can answer. What is a decent large microsd for the s20 ultra 400-512gb. I've looked at the SanDisk, Lexpro, Samsung cards. Do any of them really work better than the other.? Is there a sweet spot in price/speed? Thanks
I have multiple cards Sandisk Extreme Pro 400gb, Sandisk extreme 400gb, Samsung Evo Plus 256gb and an older Samsung Evo 64gb however i still need to do some tests, i will post this here.

Lexar Professional 1800x MicroSDXC 128GB UHS-II is fast at a somewhat reasonable price.
U3 V90 cards are the fastest as of now, but some are ridiculously priced.
