16 GB or 32 GB?

I've been seeing differing stories about the size of storage that will come in the AT&T version if the XL. Haven't seen any info on AT&T's website. Anyone know the true story? It's bad enough there's no expansion.

as far as I am aware, the AT&T One X is coming in 16gb. Which upsets me. I was hoping to replace my iPod with it. But I have more than 16gb of music.

Pretty upset myself. I understand changing the processor due to LTE compatibility, but don't see the need to decrease the storage size, especially considering there's no expansion slot. It's the one thing that's turning me off to getting it.

I'm considering getting a Vivid and seeing what's available in the fall. I have another upgrade coming up in October. If it's the same old bull**** with At$t at that time I will most likely look at TMobile.

From what I've heard, it looks like it will be 16GB. Add to the fact that the ATT version will not have Tegra 3 and I have decided to get an unlocked HTC One X as I already have 2 LTE devices. The fact that it is a quadband 3G phone wells my eyes with joy remembering the old Win-Mo days of buying the HTC TyTN and TyTn II which had 850/1900 3G built in without ATT meddling.

I wouldn't be surprised if AT&T released a 16GB AND a 32GB version a month or so from each other. Kind of like a reversed situation with the 16GB Galaxy Nexus coming to Verizon.

Actually, the One X has 32GB. The One XL only has 16GB.

We know the difference. Just like we know the One X is what's going to be in the UK, and the one XL will be the AT&T version. IF it's going to be differentiated.
And every trustworth news source I've seen so far that has posted the specs has quoted it at 16GB... keep in mind you should look for specs a day or two after it was released, since the market is flooded with confusion about which is which.
also to the dude w/ 3 phones, 2 lte... WHY do you need so many phones? share with the less fortunate.

There's still hope.... kind of.
There's still a mysterious HTC Totem/Tahiti that is yet to be revealed.

Sigh I was waiting for this phone but 16gb w/ no microSD slot is just too small and unusable for me. I guess I'll wait for Galaxy S3 =( or Skyrocket HD if it ever comes out...

Well how about this to further complicate things and **** AT&T customers off more. According to this article, the Sprint version of the One X will also come with only 16 GB of storage space, but WILL have an expansion slot. Really? What the hell happened to simplicity with one phone?
Next week I will be going to the invitation only HTC Sprint event, where we hope to see the new version of the HTC One X that Sprint has renamed the HTC EVO One.
Android Central has brought us some pre-event information regarding the changed specifications for the new version HTC One X. The HTC EVO One is different in few ways that I believe may seriously effect the performance in comparison to the HTC One X.
The same 4.7 inch, 720p Amoled screen will be on the HTC EVO One but the changes come in with the 1.5 dual-core Krait processor, 2650mah non-removal battery, 16GB internal memory with a microSD card slot.

just curious but why would anyone need more than 16 gbs? i've uploaded like 17gb of music to google music and htc is giving you 25 gb from dropbox in which to upload pictures and videos too (which you can see similarly to google music).
i have a note with 16 built in and a 32 removable but looking at the settings right now and ignoring the 29gb i have free on the card, i have 8.76gb free combined between system and "usb" storage (don't ask me why it's labeled that).
so from total os, formatting, loads of apps (71 apps, widgets don't show), pictures (over 200), and whatever else i missed, i still have over 8gbs. i guess my point is, quit downloading porn people. lol, kidding, but i think 16 inside is fine.

Tell yourself that as you prep for your next round trip cross country flight. 32GB on a flagship 2012 product should have been a no brainer regardless of the model. Since it wasn't, you'll have to decided what music you want to dump in order to fit more movies on-board.

Quite true, and keep in mind that NAND backups, especially when you have multiple backups for different ROMs take up quite a LOT of space. Add that to HD videos, movies, high-resolution pictures, music, GPS map files, and that 16GB starts to look pretty damn small really damn fast lol. Then you think "Oh that's fine, I'll just take this MicroSDHC car....oh my God no..." So you pause for a moment and then you might think "Hey at least I have dropbox and a massive amount of files there!" but AT&T is currently doing their best (or worst) to get rid of people that have their unlimited data plan. And even then, after 3-5GB of used bandwidth, you're still on badly throttled speeds until your next billing cycle begins.
So how far can you honestly expect to get with 16GB of memory that is not expandable? Once you eat up your 2GB or 3GB of data, you're $#%@!&, especially if you're in a place where you have no computer access to retrieve files - which would be annoying to have to do anyway. And especially if you're on LTE so the bandwidth flies that much faster. If by some chance you ARE on unlimited data, enjoy downloading and swapping out 200MB of MP3 files or a 500MB movie or a 400+MB backup from your dropbox with heavily throttled speeds. So in the end you're @$#&^* again lol.
I hate to say it, because I was waiting for this device, but the lack of a storage expansion absolutely kills this for me. Add to that the non-removable battery and it's just not worth the money. Yes, there are absolutely amazing features on this device, the screen, the S4, the camera, the unified body like my Inspire - but there are certain deal-breakers that just ruin the entire experience and unfortunately, the One XL for AT&T has two of them.

Man, I am sick of reading posts like this.
Google music is fine for cloud storage IF you live in the U.S. In Canada we will be stuck with the XL an one S, both only 16gb.
I'm personaly waiting until the fall to see if HTC figures out their failure, if they want iphone features like no expandable storage and a non emovable battery then offer different storage options like Apple does.
If the one S and X / XL came in 16,32 and 64gb options, they'd sell waaaaaaay more.
If HTC wants to stick with low storage than my next phone will be the galaxy s3 instead, that's too bad

The One X uses about 4-6gb of the 16gb of storage, so we only have 10-12gb to actually play with. After loading a few games, apps, music, pictures, tv shows and movies, I might just make it under the 10gb limit. I hated constantly having to delete apps, movies from my HTC Desire because of the lack of internal storage. I don't want to go through this again with the One X.

[Q] HTC One X Dissection - Expandable memory?

Though I was holding out for the S3, could not help pass off a $49 upgrade on the HTC One X. I have seen disassembly pics of the HTC One X and am wondeing if they use a microSD card for the internal memory (like Samsung did for Captivate? ) and if it would be possible to swap out the memory card with a cloned say 32 gb / 64 gb card?

Good question
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium

Oh man, I'll be so pissed if that turns out to be the case. If so, why would they give the XL only 16GB when the Tegra edition has 32?

Maybe the difference in price between the S4 and T3 is the same as a 16GB mSD card and 32GB. There's always trade-offs to be made in hardware design. HTC probably wanted to keep the phone below a certain threshold regarding component cost.

I was wondering the same thing the other day. I love almost everything I'm seeing about this phone but the 16GB (actually, only about 12GB usable) thing is really making me hesitant to buy it. Too bad the captions in the pictures aren't translated!

I don't see any microsd or microsd slot in any of those pics. Internal memory is usually a soldered chip on the board. Would be pretty difficult to swap those out.

Actually, none of the Samsung phones ever used internal microSD cards. Samsung phones always use NAND chips (Captivate included).
In the past, HTC always use miroSD cards for internal storage. But it may have changed recently. Who knows.

Yes, and the solder joints are usually tiny on the chips. Very difficult to do by hand (if not almost impossible), with little room for error.

The words in simplified Chinese are simply describing how to take the phone apart. The original pictures are a part of a series of pictures teaching you how to take apart the phone and the text are things like "The camera is connected to the main circuit board, so be sure to be careful when disassembling." I went through all of the pictures on the original site and none of it mentions where data storage is.

Thanks for taking time to review the pics and the translations.. Its a shame that HTC decided to skimp on the internal memory and provide no expandable options. Suspect att strategy involves increased dependence on cloud storage that would force users to increase data consumption... Chi ching!

Since the at&t version only has 16 gb, does anyone have the ACTUAL real storage space? Does it end up being like 14.92 gigs or something? This phone looks really sweet, but I currently have about 12-13 gigs of music on my captivate and the 16gb could pose as a real annoyance.

It is a nand chip, so no hidden microsd slot.

Thanks for the info, but WOW is that a small amount of space. I have close to 5GB on just pictures and videos alone.
I was thinking about google music, however, I mostly listen to music while in the subway; which means no reception/wifi. I had my sights on getting this phone, I guess I may need more time to think about it. If HTC was able to put a slot for a microSIM, why not a micro SD as well? . But, like someone stated in an earlier post, I'm sure it is to force people to use the cloud, which uses data, and ultimately creates overages.

I've been waiting to see a teardown to see if replacing the nand would be possible. If it was that would make a huge market for broken International One-X boards. I can't judge by the pictures if it's possible. Usually on a teardown there's at least 20 pics.
As far as AT&T's plan and why they knocked us down to essentially 10 gigs..
You had one thing right when you said cloud dependency, but I think it goes much further than that. Think of the 23GB free Dropbox space they're giving us all, the Google Music they are all undoubtedly expecting us to use. It's the precursor to their future attempt to hold your data hostage! What are you going to do if you don't pay your bill and your service goes out? You can't access your dropbox on the go, you can't stream your music through Google Play. They know that nobody wants to actually fill that measly 10 gigs with music. It's an attempt to get you more motivated to pay your monthly bill, and to extend your contract for another two years once this one is up. It's funny how they give you 23 gigs on your dropbox for 2 years, the same as your contract length. Something tells me that extending your contract will get you another 2 years once it's up. It might look like simple marketing, but honestly it's quite shady of them.

It should be noted that this is the international version of the HTC One X.

[Q] Normal to only have 9gb storage space?

I just picked up a Rogers One X and i notice that i only have 9 gigs on usable storage space..

It's normal, at&t is the same. They dedicate a about 4gb to apps.

I had 16Gb internal en 16Gb external on my SII
Last week i had to delete a lot of stuff from my HOX because i could not make a backup through recovery
Also the amouth of RAM is loads lower then i had left on the SII which was always over 500M free , i'm happy if it doesn't drop below 200M on the HOX
I also feel lied to as it said 16Gb internal storage and 1Gb RAM which is also not true because it shows less then 700Mb total (672 MB ?) in task manager
Still its a great phone , but it could have been better with 32Gb storage and real 1Gb RAM
I'm kinda twitchy all the time because i have to keep a eye on storage and memory all the time....

sigh... an other one of these post.

Android optimizes it's ram fine, watching it actually causes more problems, and it has 1gb ram, a portion about 300mb is uses for camera, phone, graphics, and critical apps.

You weren't lied to. Storage is storage, and there is 16 GB of it. What they are saying is technically quite true. Yes, they could be a little clearer and say 9 GB of user accessible storage. But there is no lie here.
Every electronic device (including all smartphones) that has an operating system and other separate partitions (like apps), includes those in the storage total. Would you buy a laptop with a XX GB hard drive advertised, and expect the OS to not take any of the drive space? Of course not.

AT&T HTC One X Phone Storage only 10GB??

Hi,
I just bought HTC One X yesterday from AT&T for $199. After I went back to home, I found that the Phone Storage of my htc one x is only 9.93GB. That's TOOOOOO small for a smart phone without removable SD card availability.
Is there any problem with my phone? Or is it the way it is?
So sad now.... I even want to return my phone and change to Samsung Galaxy SIII....

That is the correct amount of storage for the att one x.

This is the wrong forum. Here we have the One X International.
You can check your "sd" card with your PC. Make checkdisk of the storage connected to your PC. Don't know if the at&t has the same issues with bad sectors. But when this is the problem, then format the drive with fat32.

Confusion....
there seems to be some confusion regarding branding.
I hate saying this, sounds like i'm bragging because i start every post like this.....
I'm in New Zealand, i have both versions of device, I started referring to them as the Quad, and the Twin... for obvious reasons.
Down here,
The OneX is the quad, in white, its 30gb, 25gb or there about available to the user...
The OneXL is the Twin, in black, I'm not sure of total storage now that i think about it, but i know i have approximately 10g available to me.
I've tested a hand full of roms over the last 10 days, all the mods that have worked for the twincore i have had to get from the AT&T forum.
If 1stpKlosr is correct that he has the AT&T version, he has the correct amount of drive space, and the correct forum too
hope that helps straighten it out.
Cheers

and you know, its not that big of a deal.....
In most cases we all have access to our PCs everyday. I personally run a FTP server, My personal cloud if you like. hundreds of gig of **** at my finger tips. others use drop-box or other such services.
That 10 gig of space you have is more than adequate, and a totally manageable size. I couldn't imagine needing much more than that on a day to day basis.
Funny thing, a guy at work showed me a full page ad in a magazine from 2004 showing a SDcard, the ad was singing its praises over having reached the considered unreachable 1gig! ... this wasn't even a microSD, it was one of those old square inch size fukernauts too. LoL...

If you note under storage, theres 2.2gb reserved for apps as 'internal' storage and 10gb available for anything else. The rest is used by the system. Its the same way with pc's. It might have a TB drive, but you'll never have that much available.

Yes, and it will happen again and again and ag... well, you get the point. Just wait until the HOX gets a price cut, then it's going to be bonkers.

what supprises me....
... is that you guys go into these deals totally blind, obviously without reading any of the specs or doing any research.... then come to the forum to complain about it.
that's classic!

I'm wondering if when we get S-off and kernel source we can free up more space and get it back maybe with repartitioning.

It's advertised as having 16 GB storage. If available storage was 14 gb I doubt there would be an issue. But wtf is htc doing with 6 gb reserved? That's more than a little misleading.

The difference between 16GB and 9GB is huge. And I was aware of this version only has 16GB and had got prepared to accept it.
However, in fact, it ONLY has 9GB free to use.

My thoughts exactly.

If you want 50 gigs of cloud space head over to evo 3d general and a guy there will get you a account fo free hope that helps the deficit

there seems to be some confusion regarding branding.
I hate saying this, sounds like i'm bragging because i start every post like this.....
I'm in New Zealand, i have both versions of device, I started referring to them as the Quad, and the Twin... for obvious reasons.
Down here,
The OneX is the quad, in white, its 30gb, 25gb or there about available to the user...
The OneXL is the Twin, in black, I'm not sure of total storage now that i think about it, but i know i have approximately 10g available to me.
I've tested a hand full of roms over the last 10 days, all the mods that have worked for the twincore i have had to get from the AT&T forum.
If 1stpKlosr is correct that he has the AT&T version, he has the correct amount of drive space, and the correct forum too
hope that helps straighten it out.
Cheers

Mildly Infuriating: 128/256GB Storage Option will be available for US on May 18th

File this under "WTF Samsung."
https://news.samsung.com/us/galaxy-s9-s9plus-new-128gb-256gb-storage/
I waited and researched my options, before finally pulling the plug and settled with the unlocked 64GB SD version that's available in the US. I bouhgt my device on Apr 1st, didn't even realize that their window to initiate RMA is only 15 days.
Chatted with a live chat agent, and didn't offer any other way to help me to exchange to the larger storage options as I'm out of my 15 day window.
I want to see if anyone else has encountered this situation with Samsung direct...I've read in the past bout how terrible their customer service is, so not really putting much hope on this one.
Or open to any other suggestion as well.
TLR: Bought 64GB on Apr 1st from Samsung.com, now they announce the larger storage options but I'm out of the return period.

Your going to need to sell it, as much as I hated to say that.
But I am with you, I never really need 128G but if its available I always get it because it increases the resale value. Now that they got 128 / 256GB I am sure the resale of the current 64GB's just hit the floor.

Wow that's kind of messed up for those who actually buy these devices and have to recoup the costs when they upgrade later

One of the reasons I went with Exynos was for the 128. I'd almost consider selling it for the SD variant now just for the better radio support in the u.s.

Unfortunately yeah. I even called the sales line, they won't budge at all. And they kept like..."you know you can also upgrade the storage through microsd to up to 400GB..." And I told them..yeah I could, but wouldn't you rather me spending that $195 on you instead?
Plus, these people have no clue on the speed difference between UFS 2.1 and microsd.

Yeah, I've seen a collective outrage around reddit and article comments, maybe if enough people send them some rage phone call they might do something about it.

you know this was the deciding point that made me go for the 64GB SD variant since I was reading about the poor signal quality and what not.
I originally was gonna go for the G9650 SD HK/Chinese version to get the larger storage.

I'm using Cricket, and my signal strength is fine, but I can't help but feel like my data would be faster on a SD variant.

Is wanting a bigger storage option just solely for the higher resale value after? I would understand the outrage if there was no expandable storage but in this case there is expandable storage.

that's one of the reasons I purchased the G965F from CLOVE UK - it came with 128 GB and was available back when it was originally released.

That is true, but internal storage is lightning fast compared to external storage

nope, I just need bigger storage since I have a lot of apps and files even with my 200GB microsd. Constantly moving pics/videos to the Microsd gets real old real fast.
and as mentioned before, having UFS 2.1 speed is not the same with microSD. Especially if you're recording 4K videos, you need a U3 speed card for that. Even sandisk 400GB is only U1, god knows how much their new extreme U3 version card is gonna cost.

For me, yes. The better speced the phone the better resale value. I keep my phones on average 2 or 3 months as a daily driver so maximizing my return is essential!

If they had said that to me I would have pointed the irony in the statement...
So your telling me th einternal storage is not that big of a deal so I should use an SD card? Yet, its a big enough deal to you make a phone with larger capcity... Things that make you go hmmmmm...

I read somewhere on XDA that not all devices are 2.1!TRUE STORY! If I can find it again I will post here but some are only UFS 2.0 depending on the EMMCS / DRAM MFG.
True Story!

Strange, I just quoted myself...
Anyways... Yes, It appears this is the case for a few different devices including the Note 8 and the S8+ as well as I found some lesser known brands using this crap.

Does anyone know if the 256gb unlocked version will work on Sprint CDMA network?
Can't find any specs on it.
Thanks
