Hi, sorry if it's a redundant question, just haven't seen any threads on this in the Iconia forum. In UK the 32 gb model of A500 costs 50 pounds more than the 16 gb one, and 16 gb microsd costs less than 20 pounds. So are there some advantages of having 32gb internal storage instead 16gb+16gb? Can the space on sd card used the same as internal storage on A500? Thanks ahead!

You can't yet install applications on an external SD card, for example. It would be squarely for storing media. So I'd still rather suggest just taking the 32Gb one.
Same here, I have the 32G version.
Most apps can't be moved without rooting the tablet, some still crash if their data files aren't on local 'drive'
Navigation apps with huge map files go on local 'drive' - 4G of space each..
External is for movies, some data (ebooks, cbr or cbz comics, etc).
I got the 16gb but kinda wishing I would have spent the extra $50 for the 32gb.
I have the 32Gb and for sure if the 16 Gb have been present in store i will have bought the 16gb instead of 32 Gb (16 is far less expensive), and it's not easy (for me) to use ALL the 32Gb ^^
after one month, still 23 Gb free...on 27Gb
Thanks all for your replies. I'm curious if apps like dropbox can make use of the space on micro sd. Anyone has experience on that?
Any ideas On my Sd Card problem
I just got a PNY 32 GIG SD Card I'm running the Virtuous Thrive 1.0.1.
My card came pre formatted Fat32 It is showing up on my tablet as around 8 gigs. Shows fine on my computer. Any ideas....
Thanks

I use the external_sd for media storage, backups with mybackup pro, and I set the browser download folder to default to there too. Also can access docs there by rooting the tablet and using usb mount all to fool docs to go into reading the external memory. I have over 100 downloaded apps installed on my internal 16gb storage and still have 10gb free there.

I originally had a 32gb a500, but then found the 16gb for $200 cheaper.
I ended up with the 16gb and purchased a 32gb SD card.
I don't use the tab for gaming, primarily browsing, movies, Google music and chatting. I'm not obsessed with apps anyway.

I kind prefer having cheaper 16gb and put 32gb sd where all the backups from the roms will go and for the media I glued the 500gb portable drive.

I personally prefer having the 32Gb version + 32Gb SDHC, meaning I've got huge loads of storage space on it
I have the 16GB LOADED with apps with a 16GB Micro SD card and haven't even scratched the surface on the internal storage. Don't think the 32GB is a must but if you can spare the coin, why not?

Guys,
I'm planning to buy a Transformer in a wk or two and I have some questions regarding the memory to which I can't find a straight answer...
16GB or 32GB version? What amount of memory is available for apps and data in the two models?
WITHOUT the dock, can I just stick a 32GB SDHC card? This should be obviously true, but there are discussions around that make me doubt....
Anyone tried a 64GB SDHC card?
Thx!
//lys
to your first question: i own the 16GB version, and there is a little more than 12GB available for apps and data.
Second question: you can only put micro SD cards in the transformer itself, for normal SD cards you need the dock.
Cheers, I meant micro SDHC
Given how little a 32GB micro SDHC costs, I'm not sure whether it's worth blowing 100$ more on the 32GB model.
I really wonder whether there is any hardware limitation on supporting 64GB micro SD cards, but those are new and a bit pricey so I doubt anyone has tried yet.
somewhere in the accessories subforum someone confirmed that either the microsd or the dock's sd slot (yea, i know, this statement is rediculously ambigous, but i'm too lazy to look up the actual thread) is actually an sdxc. but you're right cost/benefit of those aren't really worth it.
so if all you need is below 48gb of storage, the cheapest is the 16gb TF+32gb microsd. otherwise, go for the 32+32.
I don't need a signature.
Honeycomb doesn't support apps being installed on the microSD card. You will only be able to put media on the microSD card. I doubt many people could use more than 16gb for apps though, but if you buy the 32gb TF101 you can fit more apps on.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
Honeycomb is different than other versions of android.
the 16/32GB internal is for all memory. System, Apps, Media, everything that goes on internal or the /sdcard partition.
The sdcard slot is considered removable memory and no apps can be installed to it. All it's good for is your media.
I notice that all versions I see are only 16 GB of storage. I am sorry but that is pretty damn weak for a tab. The iPad goes to 64 GB.
I heard that there were 7.7 tabs up to 64 GB but haven even seen a 32 gb version around.
Is this something that is just planned for the distant future or is there a 32 gb and up version out somewhere?
Fom what i have seen, only 16Gb models are in stock for now.
32Gb and 64Gb will be available later on I guess.

Yeah, the iPad goes up to 64GB, BUT, the iPad lacks a micro SD slot, AND since 64GB micro SD cards have already been confirmed working in the 7.7, there's your 64GB version right there!
Now... I wonder how much a 128GB micro SD card would be...
the 7.7 comes in 16, 32 and 64 versions
32 is already available for order from Expensyve... i mean Expansys
i'm waiting for the 64 GB version already own a 64 GB microSD so that'll adds up to 128 GB
and if they release the 128 microSD later this year/next year, then i'll definitely get it too and make this device a 192 GB portable entertainment unit ... and work of course... that's the whole reason we're getting it for anyways for "work" file under business expenses

Don't get me wrong, having 64 GB of internal storage would be nice and all, but honestly, with how much of my media I put on the cloud anyway, having a 64 GB external SD card is plenty good for me.
The way I'm set up now, all my pictures and music are stored in the cloud, and I basically just use my SD card for TV and movies.
But everyone is different!
P.S. Where are you seeing the 7.7 as being available on Expansys? Either the 16 or the 32 GB version. Both the US and the Canadian sites show it as a pre-order only (still!!!)...
P.P.S Nevermind, I see it on the UK site. £599 though?! Ouch... That's like $945 USD!! Good lord...

I don't know about you, but currently, my dropbox space is only at 2GB, so that's a non-issue for me.
Besides that, with the external SD card permissions modified, how can you change where dropbox saves anyway? I haven't found the option in its settings...

Yeah but 64 GB SD cards are still a ripoff. When they get down to $59 where they should be then that is a good option. You can get 32 GB for around $30.00 and 64 GB is around $200, that is ridiculous!

Yeah everyone is different and handing control of access to my stuff to the "cloud" is a poor option for me. I am not always connected to the net, and don't want to be just to look at a picture or listen to a song/album etc. I also would opt for a wifi only version as I don't want to pay for expensive 3G service. Plus SD access is much quicker than constantly downloading from the "cloud" and battery life is much better without having the modem radio always on . A 32 GB internal option would be nice for me I just hope it doesn't take them forever to release it.

I bought mine on Amazon for about $150, which yeah, it's expensive, but it's still less than the ~$200 more you could expect to pay for a 64GB 7.7, not to mention that the cost of external memory will inevitably get cheaper anyway. Just my 2 cents.

Yeah but I want the internal mostly for apps and external for data (music, video, pictures etc). The thing I know is that "16 GB" is really not 16 GB. After they get done bloating it up with all of the crap they usually put on there you are lucky if you have 10 GB left.
Plus having 32 GB internal doesn't mean that I couldn't add 64 GB SD later when they get reasonable. More is always more and card swapping sucks (but at least you can do it unlike Apple stuff).

True. However, supposedly ICS will bring the ability to install apps to external storage. If this is the case, then that vastly improves what you can install.
For me, the way I currently run my 7.7, I minimize my internal memory usage by keeping my heavyweight media on my external SD (like movies and TV). My internal storage is almost exclusively used for apps and app data. All of my pictures and music are cloud-sourced, so if any of that is actually on my device, it's because it has been stored in the application cache data. By doing this, I still have about 8GB of headroom on my internal storage (out of the 13GB available), which is still plenty enough for me and whatever other apps I decide to install.
More than anything though, I'd rather have the 16GB model as soon as it's available, and then upgrade it with 64GB of external storage, than have to wait weeks, or even months, for the 32 or 64 GB versions.
I agree, more is always better of course, but I just don't have the patience to wait for it. If you do, then my hat goes off to you!

Well it depends on how long it will be before the 32 GB ships out. If it is like 3 months away or something I would probably bite the bullet and get the 16 GB. All I know is that how things usually go is that I buy the 16 GB THEN they announce a week later that the 32 GB is shipping.
Having a 16 GB version at all seems dumb. I mean 32 GB micro SDs are around $30 and they make money selling them. The actual cost difference between 16 and 32 GB internal chip to Sammy (they actually make the flash memory) is what, $5.00? I would think it would cost more just to keep track of and make all of these different ones.
The GT-6810 (16Gb & 32Gb WiFi) has been available here for a couple of weeks now (Oz). That is when I got mine. No 3G models released yet AFAIK.

well, you can now move apps to the external SD. That should help. Data will probably remain internal, and if any apps have widgets, they will only work if in the fully internal ram anyway.

I guess I'm a bad manager of space at the moment and will need to improve. My S3 currently has 29GB total space and only 5 and a bit GB Available. Apps 1.9gb, pictures and vids 500mb, downloads 2.5mb, Misc files 3.8gb. I'm using a series 4, 32 GB chip. So I expect that I'll pack the new 64 gb with my pictures a lot of the apps, downloads and (not really sure what I have at 3.8gb ... DAta or ROMS?) Misc files, I should be able to still enjoy the experience, right?
If the Note 3 lags when saving things on Ext SD or if it is not even an option, I'll be a bit miffed. But it would probably serve me right, for being impatient and not waiting till 32GB N9005's reached Mainland China.
I'm using HK N9005 with 16gb (a little sad)
I relief this problem by buying 32gb of external sd
and root the device for mounting internal storage to SD card.
This is no problem
If it saved me 100 bucks, I'd go for it.
I'd do things no different than I do now, on a 16GB S3. All media (films, music, photo's, videos) on a MicroSD, and keep the internal memory for Apps only. Navigation maps and other such massive files also go on the SD.
I have a 32GB MicroSD that's almost full (1.2GB remaining), and internal memory has 8GB free. 202 apps installed. (Downloaded only, not counting stock, that's a total of somewhere in 290, last I saw during OTA.)
I'd live with it just fine, I think.

I know sd cards are slower than internal RAM, but anything above 20GB or so is probably going to be media files anyway, so is there any real advantage to having 64gb onboard RAM instead of just getting the 32gb version and adding an sdcard?

You won't run out of internal space for apps and their databases.
If you are spending $450, go the extra and get 64GB. YMMV.
It's not about the money. Amazon has 32gb models in stock right now but Moto is telling me I can't get a 64gb model until Oct. 2. If the ONLY difference is RAM capacity I may pull the trigger on the Amazon model.

32GB and 64GB models have the same amount of RAM, I don't know what you're blabbing about. You probably mean onboard storage and yes the only difference is more onboard storage, nothing more.

Do you plan on taking 4k video? Yes or no, there's your answer.
With this phone being unlocked, we could very well see dual booting. Roms will run better on internal memory.
And videos. My kids are 2 and 4 so we take a lot of videos.
And downloads in general (roms, etc). Most everything goes to internal storage.

Seems like it's a personal choice. If you want to 'get it now' go with the 32GB from Amazon. If you can wait (and want to) then it's another matter. I normally wait to see and don't jump at the first opportunity but to each their own.
Been taking 4K videos straight to my scandisk ultra plus card. No problem whatsoever.
Hi guys, just wondering if most users here buy the 16gb version or 32gb?
I currently have an M7 (yes, it's ancient lol) and looking to get this Moto X Pure, but wondering if I should get the 32gb version or 16gb. I am thinking 16gb since it has a microSD slot so i can add a 64gb or 128gb card for additional storage.
Will a 16gb hinder the device's performance? I probably won't have too many games or apps. Mainly the google apps, facebook, twitter, etc.
Thanks
32 . don't let $50 stand in your way.

thanks, is there a reason to go up to 32gb?
would apps and rom require that much to run smoothly?
I would also reccomend 32gb . Internal storage loads faster than SD card in my experience .
64gb.
64. No question. The more internal space, the better.

16gb. Top-of-the-line 64gb cards often go on sale for around $30, and once android M is out, the difference between internal and a fast external SD card will be minimal. Twice the storage and cheaper than going 32gb internal now

That is my thinking. Android M is just around the corner by the time I get this phone in hands.
64GB MicroSD card with write speed around ~80MB/sec can be had for around $30. Or the 128GB can be had for around $50-$60.
So why pay $50 for an additional 16GB? Unless there's something about the extra 16GB internal that directly correlates to a phone's performance.

Agreed, I'm shopping out cards now and plenty of good options below $50 for plenty of additional storage. I back up often and don't have the need to have to carry large amts of data on device myself. The 16gb was an acceptable and more affordable option for me.
Hi
Hi,
I went with a 32gb with a 64gb sd card!!
Some apps need to be on internal memory to run.
Everything else goes to sd card.

I also switched from an M7 (love the phone, but it is getting dated) and went with 32 gigs. No particular reason other than a little future-proofing as mentioned. I never really did fill up my 16gb M7 though.

Same here. My M7 with 16gb internal, and 32GB external, still have about 28GB left. Only ROM and apps on the internal, and pretty much everything else is on the external SD.
I went with 32GB internal and an 128GB microSDXC card. I was bumping the 16GB limit with nandroid backups on my old phone, and 32GB gives me plenty of room for apps and backups. The 128GB takes care of my music and videos. Thought hard about 64GB, but $50 for the 64GB or the 128GB external card, the later won in a landslide.
Pls tell me actual storage space in 16 gb & 32gb version of moto x style/pure...
64gb. I believe 64gb leave 53gb open or thereabouts.
I got the 16 gig and bought a 64 gig SD card for $17. After all the nexus phones w/o SD card option I'm extremely happy with it now. Will only get better with 6.0

I ran out of space so quickly with my 16GB N5 that I refused to have that issue again, I chose 64 on the X and will supplement that with a 128 SD, I enjoy podcasts, cache from Play Music and transfer pictures from my sony rx camera to edit and share. Its also nice not to worry about space, ever.
I went with 16gb internal and a 128gb sd card. My tablet has 64gb internal and also has a 128gb card so I'm all set.
The 32gb was in-stock on amazon, and it would have been another 2 weeks though motomaker, so i bought the 32 white,chp,white and love it.
I probably would have done black, red, black. but now that i have mine i see lots of people with the black red combo.
the white back looks great with the white front, way better than my 2013 dev unit with the black front and white back.
