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.
I was just short od preordering a One S here in Germany when I noticed that it had 16GB of internal storage but NO SD-Slot.
This seems to be an ugly trend in the industry. Right now I have a Sensation with a 32GB card and I rarely have more than 10GB free. So the 16GB (some say only 13 of it are usable to the user on stock firmware) will be a tight fit, even taking into account the fact that there is a 2 yr. 25GB Dropbox allotment included.
I wonder, whats the point of a really good cam on a smartphone, able to take quick succession pictures while limiting the storage in this way?
Also what do you think of the fact that the battery suddenly became a "non user serviceable part"? I like the looks of the phone, and no, the One X s not an option for me due to size... I compare them to Desire HD (One X) and my Sensation (One S) and the Sensation suits my hands better.
What do you think of this trend? Will you all happily use the Dropbox and give your data to some data center far away? Is there the option to strongly encrypt the data BEFORE sending it out?
Will there be drop-in replacements for the Dropbox implementation making use of VPN / SFTP connections to home servers / NAS devices that only you have access to or will it have to be using ugly workarounds like Flderync or AndFTP ?
Do you think there will be options later on to purchase One S models with 32GB on board? Or options to exchange the memory chip or is this going to be soldered in for good? What other options are there? Custom ROMs with USB Host mode that supply enough power to a USB dongle with an additional memory card?
This is looking all very apple-ish to me and I am not sure if I like the direction this is going or if I should hold out and see if they turn some of their awesome concepts that leaked recently into real products?
Opinions?
I am concerned about the same things on this phone. I thought it was perfect until I read about the limited 16 g memory and no battery access. my phone upgrade has been available to me for over a month now and I am impatient for a new phone! but do I get this or wait even longer hoping something else comes along soon.

I've said this in the One XL forum as well, which like the One S only has 16gb of internal storage (9.8 user, 2.2 for apps). Only the European / international varient of the One X has 32gb. Before anyone mentions google music, that's U.S.A only, not Canada.
HTC is following Apple with non expandable storage and a non removable battery.
HTC, take this one step further and offer the same multiple storage options Apple does. If the One x/xl and One S came with 8/16/32 or, even better 16/32/64gb of storage and allowed you to pay if you wanted more, waaaaaaaaay more people would consider these phones.
Hopefully HTC either realizes this for the second one series, introduces/announces larger storage varients by summer, or in the next series brings SD cards back.
As I live in Canada and have a choice of 16gb,or 16gb! I will wait until the summer or fall to upgrade from my desire. My experience with the desire is to NOT buy a phone where you are concerned about the storage.

On the battery, I think it would be a non-issue for most consumers. A question that helps understand this decision is "How many smartphone users buy extra batteries and swap them regularly?" There are savings to be made on device size and manufacturing materials, which ultimately can bring the cost of the device down.
However, I agree there are potential issues, e.g. defects in the battery become a bigger warranty problem if the battery can't be swapped out (difference between HTC being able to just send you a new battery and you needing to send them your phone), but good QA can mitigate this to some extent.
I have an 8GB card in my desire with 5.5GB free so for me it's not an issue. If you're concerned about security of cloud storage you might want to look at other alternatives to drop box like SOS Online Backup, Wuala or SpiderOak which use encryption and also have android apps.
I wouldn't consider a phone as secure storage for anything so if you take a lot of photos or something like that then you should have a backup routine so huge amounts of storage isn't that necessary. Of course an external sd card is much more convenient.
Obviously you do not take lots of pictures, no video, have no music on your phone, no large games, or in my case have the need to carry documents on it that you CAN'T use the cloud for. It's not that I'm concerned about the security of the cloud, when I'm at work (I am an airline Pilot) I need stuff on my internal storage as there is no data signal......period.
I use my a smartphone while at work because it has replaced many devices in my flightbag, namely phone, camera, calculator, PDA, flashlight, and a few more. I used to carry around a PSP for watching video and playing games during "down time", and an mp3 player for the gym during overnights, etc. My smartphone has replaced all of those devices.
Without enough internal storage, for me and alot of other people it is a big deal, not everyone only needs 3gb of space like you.

I have been out of the phone loop for a while. What are the other new/good phones? are there other good Tmobile phones on the horizon?
I like the One S for the new android version and the camera.
I mostly use my phone for pictures. hardly any music or videos
I am currently using the HTC HD2. with running Windows I really dont have a whole lot on there as far as extra apps. I am only using around 5g of my memory so I'm not sure if the limitations of the One S are an issue for me or not.
I dont know how much space I will need if I go crazy getting apps or games on this new phone lol
As I understand it there is about 2GB reserved purely for apps and games so the 10GB or so for storage shouldn't be used.
@ jmitr please don't take it personally, I was mainly addressing the OP's concerns about security with cloud services. I understand that some people really need the extra storage but the reality is that they are a minority of the smartphone market.

Ah, just reraed the op, sorry for going off on you.
I'm just upset with HTC's North American decision making, I'm finally reaching the magic upgrade point and here in Canada you can't get a flagship HTC phone with more than 16gb of space (or 2gb apps, 10gb user to be precise). If I want more space, or an SD card I either have to get the low end One V with marginally better specs than my two year old desire, or a different Company. They fit an SD card one the Sprint one evo, and offered 32gb on the international version of the X only. Seriously HTC will never come close to Apples sales with limited choices like that.
Anyways, I'm sure the One line will turn HTC's fortune around enough, but they've lost me as a loyal customer since 2005 with their recent decisions.

Given what I've seen looking into kernel/framework code for the SGS4G, I'd want as much internal memory as I could get. Using a FAT-formatted card and "faking" a permissions-protected file system on top of that is just an ugly hack.
Burned once by the 1G in the SGS4G, I'm already wary of T-Mobile's decision to ship the Note II with the minimum internal memory that they can be configured with.
It seems like the trend for storage is cloud now, and with unlimited plans like the new one from T-Mobile it is starting to make sense to me....especially with multiple android devices. The external SD card days may be numbered.

Wow, a quad-core processor already? This may just be the next phone I purchase. @Jeff, do you really think you'd use up all of that 8GB for ROM & apps? That question sounds sarcastic and rhetorical, but i'm genuinely curious, especially since you know much more of how Android works than I do.

Its not so much about how much you use but the partitions. But being as it is a nexus device it has to follow the open source guidelines so that should never be a issue. matter of fact I dont think any phone that is not a Samsung uses a proprietary partition system like bml and such.

If it is a $50 difference over a two-year lifespan of the phone, that is something like $2 a month. For that, I'd rather not have to hope that app/data size wouldn't grow quickly. For example, I bought some motherboards for lightly loaded servers a couple years ago. I though that 1 GB would be plenty of memory for them. Now I'm cursing that I can't expand them over 2 GB as they only have one DIMM slot.
I don't know where things are going, but I am sure that the phone manufacturers would love to be able to get you to buy a new phone sooner rather than later. A related example is that Intel had a big problem in the mid 90s -- they realized that their processor power was getting to the point where any home user would not need to upgrade. So they invested heavily in digital TV, cable, and broadband so that there was demand for faster processors.
I think I might be able to get this

What about wifi calling?
Would've been perfect but the lack of a microSD card slot and the lack of a 32gb model killed it for me. 16gb just simply isn't enough to hold my music collection as well as my pictures and videos and if you're an audiophile like me, then you know that music just streaming off the cloud won't cut it compared to music at 320kbps or lossless stored on the device itself. I wanna be able to listen to music while I'm on a roadtrip or on a plane, so if I have to rely on cloud service, I won't have most of my music with me... Unless they make a 32gb model, looks like I'm taking the iPhone 5 route...it was either a nexus android phone (I just cannot take the lack of updates anymore) or a iPhone and well the nexus was this close but they just had to have one downfall...you would think that they would have figured it out by now but no...

No.
You are using a mobile device not a high end audio system at home.
Pictures would be better backed up to the cloud using something like Picassa or dropbox. That way they can be viewed anywhere.
I dont like the idea of being limited to a certain size of internal memory and no sdcard. But only because if the internal memory goes wonkers it costs more to replace than buying a new sdcard. Not because I want to claim to be a audiophile and need 320kbps files on my phone.
Okay yeah, this is a mobile device but why not make the most out of what you have? Why listen to crappy really compressed mp3's when you can store things at 320kbps where compression is minimal. With a good pair of headphones, I can hear the difference. It doesn't take a super high end system. I wanna be able to enjoy my music on the go, there's nothing wrong with that..even on YouTube you can tell the difference in sq between 720p and anything below it.
But what's the point in argueing about that on a phone forum, we both agree that we would rather not be confined to only 16gb of internal storage.. I don't understand why can't they simply include it. Every year, that's what people ask for and yet every year, they have to have some downfall.

The biggest reason..cost. They dont care if you are willing to pay for it. They are looking to make a unlocked unrestricted phone. Its kinda like not putting LTE radios in. They are looking to make a good phone that is cheap enough people can buy it and not spend 600 bucks. They have found 350 is the price most people will pay for a unlocked phone and not be upset.
16GB is the point they can produce a phone and still make money at the 350 price point.
I think it's just part of the push towards cloud storage. The slight reduction in audio quality in return for the convenience of having their complete audio and video library on all of their devices is a trade I think the majority (not all ) of consumers have no problem with. Besides, with the trend of wider bandwidth for less money that has been with us since dial-up, I don't think it will be such a long time before the streaming quality improves further....historically that's what it's always done.
If audio is your prime concern then I would be more concerned with the type of DAC's in the phone as ultimately that will give you your real world "ceiling" on your audio quality.
I think Google had done fantastic job of providing the consumer with a feature packed, unlocked phone at a hell of a price. Much like with the N7 this will force down the prices of other manufacturers products in order to compete...a win for the consumer.
For anyone that thinks this phone isn't a great deal, Google "unlocked GS3 or iPhone 5" and get back to me.
Plus Whitehawkx, Romann, and the other aokp guys have been lighting up Twitter with tweets about how eager they are to get one, so the development should be strong right off the bat.
Just my 2 cents lol

But think about it, it takes a lot more battery to steam music and continually use data in the background than it does to simply play music on your phone's memory. And what are you supposed to do when say you are on a roadtrip where signal is edge at best or when you are in a subway or plane where you don't have any signal at all? When I have a smart phone, it is my all-in-one device. It holds my music, works as my GPS, and acts as my phone. And what about apps? The whole point of the smartphone is to have apps right? Where are you gonna store your apps and games if they continue to go the cloud route and completely remove internal storage? Imagine using this galaxy s 4g without the 16gb micro sd card. In my opinion, that would be horrible. I don't wanna have to carry around an extra mp3 player around with me just to be able to fit less than half of my music collection. I don't think adding a micro SD card slot would have added that much to the costs. Whatever. I personally have no problem at all with signing a phone on contract because really, I am just saving money on the phone and paying as much as I would on a prepaid non-contract plan. I don't really see what is so bad with that. It would be more of a hassle switching constantly to different service providers than it would be to just stay with one.

I haven't decided. I have the 32GB nexus 7 2013 and I haven't used more than 10GB honestly. I put movies on it, watch them, then delete them on the device when I'm done... My music is on the cloud and I only use this at home.
I can say I won't be putting movies on my N5 and the apps will be on the more productive side of things rather than entertainment. i think the only things that will take up most space are my TWRP and titanium backups. Music will be on the cloud as well.
I personally think 16GB is more than enough for anyone who uses Google Services and does not rely on their N5 as their primary media device. I feel that tablets require more space in general though...
I will get the 32gb on my 16gb n4 my music took a lot of storage so no room for games apps etc...
It really depends if the 32gb is 50 or 100$ more and how much money I have at that time. Honestly I'd be okay with 8gb but I'd rather have too much storage than not enough.
32GB all the way. I do not use cloud services for music(in canada not even sure if they are available to me yet) so music fills my phone VERY fast. I have to keep deleting or moving things on my current phone when i wand to add a movie or game to it. Games also take up a large part. Can never have to much storage and the price is normally not different enough to not make it worth it. I mean if the 32GB was twice the price then i would go for 16 but if it's like 50-100 bucks then why not.

I personally think 16GB is more than enough for anyone who uses Google Services and does not rely on their N5 as their primary media device. I feel that tablets require more space in general though...

I'm basically in the same boat. First I bought the 16gb N4 and barely used any space. I never store anything on it because I'm a flashaholic. I flash a new ROM at least once a week, and I don't want to have to deal with transferring stuff to my phone after every flash. When the Nexus 7 2013 came out, I decided to give my storage space a bump to 32gb because I thought I'd install more games and stuff. Same situation; I flashed new stuff all the time so I barely used the space. I've actually started settling down on the flashing of my tablet for just those reasons. I'm going to start putting those games and maybe shows on my tablet.
So to answer your question: I'm not 100% sure yet. I'm more than happy to shell out the extra dough for expanded storage even if I might need it, but if I never end up using it, I don't want to feel like I wasted that extra money. If only I could see the future and tell my future needs
32gb for sure but my 16gb nexus hasent really yet got storage problems as i got 3 big games 3 songs and not many videos yet but i can say a lot of photos happily n5 will have otg i hope! right now i really got big screen hunger i want to work whit big screen nexus is small i mean for a phone not but i want to try a tablet but im also addicated to nexus feelings and stuff!!! i wish google also announce new nexus 10 so i can at least see

32GB all the way. I do not use cloud services for music(in canada not even sure if they are available to me yet) so music fills my phone VERY fast. I have to keep deleting or moving things on my current phone when i wand to add a movie or game to it. Games also take up a large part. Can never have to much storage and the price is normally not different enough to not make it worth it. I mean if the 32GB was twice the price then i would go for 16 but if it's like 50-100 bucks then why not.

It depends how much it is really as long as its under £300 then yeah 32gb all the way because I plan to retire my old 2nd gen iPod touch and have all my music and podcasts on one device
Absolutely 32GB.
I can't resist another year with only 16GB (as my Galaxy Nexus).
16 GB. I have T-Mo unlimited 4g, 17,000 songs on Google Music, and use Netflix for movies.

Yup me too. Same thing.
Videos - YouTube, Youtube/movies on tablet when I'm at home, load up a few movies on phone for trips if needed.
Music - Google Music, Pandora.
Games - I don't play serious games on my phone. I got a Gaming PC for that Haha. I play some games on the tablet.
Pictures - Synced with the cloud. They don't take up much space anyways..
I got the unlimited data.
Would there be a 64GB version?
16GB, I don't store things on my phone so 16GB is more than enough.
In the same boat on whether to get the 16 or 32 if it will be out. my n4 still has a lot of space. i'll probably just stick with the 16gb if ever.

32GB.
I need to fluff my e-pants.
32GB without even hesitating. Music takes a large portion of my memory...Plus it never hurts to have extra space. (only in your pocket though)
32GB with no hesitation...
Go big or go home

[Q] Should I wait a couple of months?
Hello everyone,
In this ever-changing technological world, buying a new cellphone or tablet need to be thought through.
Here's my problem: for a couple a months I've really wanted to buy a Nexus 7 (2013). These days, prices are at an all time low here in France [189 Euros on Amazon, still 229 Euros on the PlayStore].
Anyway, I was wondering if it would be wise to buy a Nexus 7 now with Google I/O two months from now. The thing is; is there a chance that Google will reveal new tablets and launch a new Nexus 7 after the conference? Because if so I'd rather way a couple of months and get the latest from Google.
Anyhow, I'd like to get your opinion on that.
Thanks for your replies.
Ps: I'm making a poll for people who want to give their opinion without having to write anything
I'd personally wait. I had thoughts of upgrading as my Nexus 7 (2012) is starting to charge unreliably. However, as we are only a few months away from the typical new release I figured I'd wait. Still have hope for an sd card slot in this year's model.

Thanks for your answer. I've lost all hope when it comes to external storage on Nexus devices but I'm using Dropbox to extend storage and it's perfect.

Yeah, I have a slim hope but I know Google is pushing cloud so maybe that hope is in vain. I love cloud storage. Between Dropbox and Google Drive (and Google Plus unlimited photo backup), it covers just about everything I need. However, I think they are forgetting that many of their tablets are wifi only and you are often without wifi. I'd like to be able to load up some movies before a trip for the kids and that is hard on my 8 gb (not really 8 gb) Nexus 7. And with some games starting to take up 1-2 gb (which cloud storage cannot help), it is starting to get more and more obsolete.
I have a Nexus 10, and wanted a smaller tablet. For me the ~8" size is the ideal. I decided to not wait for the rumored Nexus 8, and purchased a GalaxyTab Pro 8.4. Excellent tablet, but Samsung's customizations and bloatware are terrible.
I would rather prefer a "Google Play Edition". Just installing unofficial Cyanogenmod now! :good:
We're in the same boat. I badly want the N7 2013, I'm going to take it though. The 2014 one might be a lot better but it will be very similar, unless the announcement says it can make and receive calls. The memory card slot isn't that big a problem as I'm planning on using OTG with my 64GB USB.

The Galaxy Tab Pro would've been my choice but it's a bit too expensive for me unfortunately =/

The thing is that I don't want to buy it if Google sells them cheaper once the new tablets are announced -or even before like they did for the N4.
