Missus is thinking of getting a new Note 3. Problem is, in Hong Kong the official stock only has 16GB versions.
How much of that 16GB will go to the OS? You think it will be similar to the 16GB S4, so you only get about 9GB of usable space?
Also, another issue we've found. She presently has a Note 1. On the Note 1 it seems that she only has around 2GB for apps (internal space or something), and we have found this very restrictive. Will this be the same issue with the Note 3?
Thanks in advance.
We only are able to get 32gb in the northeastern USA. Who in the heck knows where anybody can get a 64gb version

The 2GB app restriction is only found on the Note 1, already gone since Note 2 and Note 3.
As for your 16GB Note 3 question, i think nobody can answer you as of now because Hong Kong is the only country getting 16GB variant, all other countries get minimum of 32GB.

Yep, it seems Taiwan and HK are the only countries who have the honour of the 16GB version. Price for them is set at around US$775.

Honour? We feel sad for them for getting the 16GB variant, nobody want a 16GB variant on a flagship device, its so yesterday and we are glad that 90% get 32GB.

I think you missed my sarcasm.
According to this review in Android Central http://m.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-note-3-review the rom takes up about 7GB.

Can anyone please confirm whether Samsung is currently selling the galaxy S with 8gb memory version or not.
The 16gb version is out but haven't found about 8gb,if anyone can comment?
Any country in particular or you just asking in general? In Denmark, they're only selling the 8GB version, as Samsung thinks the 16GB would be too expensive, which is BS.
Regards
i'm in the opposite boat, here they sell the 8 GB by the masses
but the 16 GB is very hard to find, not enough stock
When I got my Galaxy S I didn't even realise they did two sizes. Mine is 8gb from the UK
Mine is 16gb from the S'pore
In the UK the 16gb version is exclusive to Vodaphone, all other versions I've seen including mine is 8gb

Fair point, I probably worded it badly. The only mobile phone network in the UK selling the 16gb version is (or was) Vodaphone
http://www.mobileoffers.co.uk/news/vodafone-gets-exclusive-on-samsung-galaxy-s-16gb-19776444/
Here in India, they're selling only the 16GB version.
Here in Portugal we have 8GB as exclusive of one carrier and 16GB as exclusive of a set of stores which is sold unlocked...
i work for best buy in the US and we only have the 8gb model never seen the 16bg model but the 8gb model has 8gb internal and 8gb external out of the box.

LOL that sounds like those ebay shops that advertises them as 16GB (but it's only an 8 + 8) to get people to buy their 8GB stocks

Many carriers where you buy with a contract you can only find the 16GB, if you look for an unlocked device without a contract you should be able to find 8GB if that's what you're looking for.
that will be really weird, usually people will want more, not less

Same situation in Italy.

Hi all, first post
I seem to be getting conflicting information all over the web. Most sites list the specs as there being 16 and 32 GB variants for the Note.
Samsung's own site seems to indicate just one (16GB) model (can't link, first post)
Does anyone know for sure? If there is a 32 GB model, when/where is it due to be released (if not already).
Thanks!!

I, for one, haven't seen a 32gb variant of the Note, and I've looked at a lot of places already. Now I'm not sure if a 32gb Note will ever be released. SGS2 never had a 32gb version.

thanks, most helpful!
anyone else have any insight?
Just mount an external 64GB SDXC card to /sdcard and you had the even better Galaxy Note 64GB version..
There is one on Handtec UK 'due in soon' - I tried to post the link but I'm too new. It's not cheap though!
Hello,
Friends, does anyone has any clue/idea as to how soon will the 32 GB version of Note 2 be launched/available...?
Thanks.
Me too looking forward to it...
Any info on this please report....

Me three! Can get from Mobicity/Clove/Hantec but would prefer a 32/64gb LTE (a bonus) carrier version to come to Aus! Waiting is driving me crazy....want this phone! 4G definitely not essential for me but (at the very least) 32gb is

Me four
The LTE in the N7150 probably wouldn't work with the ass-backwards 4g infrastructure here anyway, but I really want a grey 64gb. I've only found 16GB variants here in Norway.

You'll have to wait a bit, just like S3 it was harder to find when it just got released... I bought the 16GB with a 64GB microsd problem solved
How long did the SIII take to get 32GB after launch? To me 16GB is just not enough internal storage - I'm not android competent (yet) and I'd like easy access to more storage for Apps (happy to shove music/films etc on 64GB card)

Doesn't help those who want 64gb + 64gb = 128gb of storage, like I do. I hope it won't take as long for the 64gb Galaxy Note II to be released, as it will for the Galaxy S III (why is this still not released!?!?).

32GB Note 2 is available in Dubai for 2450 Dhs ($662 USD). Just ordered one and it's coming tonight, will keep you posted.
EDIT: Spoke too soon.. they're "out of stock" on the 32GB, got the 16GB instead+ 64GB MicroSD
@ gabster21,
could you kindly clarify....
1. Is the 32GB "out of stock" because a 32GB for sale is already launched and a lot of people ordered it...? (hence waiting for new stock of 32GB)
or
2. Is it "out of stock" because it is not available as of now...?!? (waiting for 32GB to be launched)
thanks.
I was told I could get the 32gb version for about 60 $ extra than the 16gb, of course I said yes. The person from the shop then called me back saying that they were sold out.
He said they would receive more on Sunday however I'm not sure I really believe him and it's possible they never had it in the first place. 64gb sd card makes up for it though

Not yet..... I waited many days for 32 gb variant, but nothing.
Then..... 1 month ago I have 16 gb variant, using "folder mount" app. I use a 32 gb sdcard and all my games and big data apps (I have about 16 gb) is stored in sdcard, and my S4 storage has 6.60gb free !!! :fingers-crossed: the 32gb or 64 gb variants not needed after all......just saying.

Thanks but I've found in the past some E-Bay sellers list products not actually yet shipping to get their order books full.
Has anyone physically seen an internal 32gb unit?
Go for the one posted in the link. That is where i also bought my phone from and yes he post straight away and it is genuine 32gb internal memory. Very happy with it.
I bought the 16Gb one, i don't need more than that because i dont install much apps and i use a 64GB microsd for my music and media, i had a 32GB S3 but only because i didnt want to experience the sudden death of the 16GB models
I'll ask the question yet again and hopefully people won't push to a link for ebay auctions this time.
Has ANYONE actually seen a S4, in the flesh, with more than 16gb of internal memory. Your brothers second cousins seeing one doesn't count, your link to a seller supposely selling one doesn't count, seeing one at a show doesn't count....touching one with your own hands does count!
Sent from my GT-P6810 using xda app-developers app
Nope.
So there does not appear to be 32GB or 64GB variants of either the S4 or the S4 active actually shipping......
I wonder when/if Sammie will pull their finger out and start? With S4 sales supposedly below target it's the natural thing to do to boost demand although only after the channel has sold through the bulk of its stock.

Yes, I also done this, and moved over 5 gb of game datas, my internal memory is 7.1GB, I don't think I need a 32 gb model.

I'm in Australia and they don't sell the 64GB version of the Note 3 here.
I've been trying to find an online seller but all I ever see is N9005 with a 64GB card.
Currently I have an N7000 16GB + 64GB which is way too resrrictive. N7100 is a screen downgrade. And 32GB is not enough of a jump to warrant the money.
My N9005 will be matched with ZeroLemon battery and 128GB SD (or maybe 256GB full size with adapter if battery permits?)
But I can't find the 64GB phones! Help please
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Only was on the Exynos octacore (non-LTE) version as far as I can tell.
Would adding a 128gb SD card do the job for you?
The 64GB version of the N9005 is a myth and doesn't really exist.
Or if it does (Samsung says so), nobody has managed to locate one. I'm not even sure they were ever actually build to begin with.
