I am currently running latest eaglesblood. and in my settings it shows that my internal storage is only cabable of holding 5.** gigs or so the specs say it holds 8
also memory is showed at 100 megs free of 352 megs again specs say i belive 512
What gives?
update
here is the mem infor exactly
(avail/total)
196mb/373
mnt storage
total space 5.44gb
available space 4.76gb
All phones are like that. It just sucks that LG decided to partition the 8gb internal storage into 2 sections(1.5gb for apps/games and 5gb for an internal sdcard) which makes no sense as most people buy a larger external sdcard for their music/movies wutever else. I myself have a 16gb Lexar class 6 sdcard and find the 5gb internal sdcard wasted space!
As for the ram, the android system uses a part of it to run on the phone and the rest is available as you just mentioned. Coming from the mt4g and it's 768mb ram there isn't much difference and the available extra ram was wasted so 512mb in the g2x is just fine IMO.

If you're getting it explain why you're getting it (new features, hardware or software?)
I want to get the GS4 because of the 1080p / 5 inch super amoled display, the new touchwiz features, expandable SD card storage, the octacore processor, and the design.
Can't wait to get my hands on it!

Be patient, wait for reviews and then if you still want it buy the 32 Gb or 64 Gb version. DO NOT go for the 16 Gb version. I made that mistake with my Note II. The 10 Gb of available memory was full within 10 days!!!
You can imagine how pissed I was. Finally a phone with the power, the screen and the battery to allow me to play graphic intense games and lnsten to music all day long and the memory runs out!

Why don't you just move the apps to the external SD-Card? The thing is that this time around it appears as if the 32Gb version is going to come equipped with the Octa while the 16Gb will be powered by the s600.
I have a 6GB Mate 9 and it is hands down the fastest zippiest smoothest loveliest phone I have ever owned.
I'm not sure if this is due to Huawei's alleged anti-slowdown software, the faster processor (although getting any phone I got had the fastest processor available at the time and never felt this quick), or the fact that I chose one with a whopping 6GB RAM.
I now want to buy a Mate 10 and can get either the 6GB or the 4GB version. Does the extra GB make that much difference? I've heard that android doesn't use it. But then why are phones coming out in 6GB and even 8GB versions? I'm hoping devs on here will have a better idea of extra RAM usage than the general public.
i'm no dev but ram is ram.. think of it as a pc , could u fill up 6gb of ram ? yes, depends on usage. what about the mate 10 ? yes and again it all depends on your usage, whether u wanna do so is all up to you.
of course you have to factor in the factory rom and ram memory freeing algorithm and how it works. so is it beneficial for your kind of usage all goes back to you whether u wanna spend the lil extra to have 2 more gb of ram or not.
with my mate 9 at 4 gb i usually have 1gb+ of ram free for my kind of usage, so a 6gb version wouldn't necessarily be useful with my kind of usage or with the apps that i use.
you decide my friend.
You never know what future version of Android or other software require. I would go for the 6 Gb version.
don't think it is worth it,mostly useless.i'd go for the 4gb and save some money.
I can upgrade my phone really cheap through work. My current daily driver is an unlocked Galaxy S22 Ultra 256 GB. I like that phone a lot, but I want to try a Pixel 7 Pro (I used to have a Pixel 3 XL), particularly for the camera. Specifically, I can either get an AT&T 128 GB Pixel 7 Pro for a mere $99 or a 256 GB one for $289. So the difference between 128 GB and 256 GB is $190, which seems pretty steep to me. That's why I'm considering the 128 GB version, even though I'm currently using a 256 GB Galaxy S22 Ultra.
I'm currently using about 140 GB on my S22 Ultra, but that includes 46 GB of music (even though I actually listen to perhaps 10 GB worth and I had added all the rest mostly 'cos I could), about 42 GB of photos and videos (although I don't need to keep every photo and video I take on my phone), and about 28 GB worth of apps. I don't game at all.
Which one would you do? 128 or 256 GB? How much actual space do you have at your disposal on each of storage options? Is the $190 difference between 128 and 256 GB worth it? (I know, I know, very much a first-world "problem"...
Thanks!

Honestly, only you can decide whether it's worth it for you. For some it may be worth it because they need the space and the trade-in value will be greater, while others may not think it's worth it. And only you know what your financial situation is.
I know, not helpful, but hey, it's really a matter of how you feel about it. Either way, it's still a very good bargain you're getting.
I would use a storage analyzer app to see what is using up your storage and decide if you can cut down or not. Keep in mind you want to have at least 10% of the storage unused for best performance. 128GB formatted storage is about 118GB, system uses about 14GB, minus 10% buffer = roughly 93GB of usable storage give or take.
At this day and age I would NEVER buy any phone with less than 256GB because the camera photos/videos are very large to start off with.
What you can do though since you already have a good phone, get the 128GB since it's way cheaper, use a streaming service like Spotify for music and for your photos and whatnot, when you take a good collection of photos/videos either upload them to the cloud or remove them from the phone and store them safely on your computer.
I would naturally lean towards getting the 256 GB version, but that would just about *triple* the cost ($99 > $289), which just seems so stupid, just to double the storage. I'd pay almost twice as much for the option to go from 128 to 256 GB than for the entire 128 GB phone ($99 vs. $190)! Sure, either way is a lot cheaper than paying full price, but I'm thinking that this phone won't be my daily driver, although I might love it so much I'd ditch my S22 Ultra---who knows...
I continue to stew on this...
Went for the 128gb myself. Almost everything I do is streamed, and I regularly backup my photos to my NAS and Amazon photos, meaning I can delete what I have on the phone. Not much point in my spending an extra £100 for something I won't use.
However, each person is different. If you have 100gb of music and video files? Then it's a no brainer and the 256gb is the way to go.
My Pixel 6 Pro was a 256GB one but for me the extra space was right waste of extra money so i went for a 128GB Pixel 7 Pro.
However if you think you are going to use more space then buy a phone with more space because you will only end up kicking yourself if you fill it up.

The Pro version also comes with a extra 4gb of ram then the normal version and a bigger display which is why it's a extra $190
I'm talking about Pixel 7 Pro 128 GB vs. Pixel 7 Pro 256 GB, not Pixel 7 vs. Pixel 7 Pro.
Anyway, I've opted for the 256 GB version, even though it was $190 more than the 128 GB version. Even at $289, it's a steal. I'm excited to try it out and see if I like it so much that I'll sell my current S22 Ultra.

My bad I'm just dumb and misread sorry
Basically you ask other people if you can use less storage.
I can only answer for myself. I use 40% of my 128GB storage on the Nothing Phone 1.
IDK how this should help you but there you go.
I have 256Gb variant and I'm using 61Gb of 246Gb storage. So 128Gb for isn't enought.
Another way to look at it is the extra 128GB of storage on the phone costs the same as 4 years worth of 200GB Google One storage (UK prices).
There's a 512Gb version too!

USA only I think.
I got the 512gb... I used almost all the 256... Next phone will be 1tb
Thanks to Google Photos, I don't feel the need for more than 128GB of memory at all.
256gb for me although so far, have only used about 35gb of it. It's a fear thing, fear of running out of space (which never happens) and fear of not being able to move it on at a later date, I always feel the bigger storage options go first and will get slightly more...
Google,
if there was 1Tb unlocked version,
I would paid more for it !!

xactly this. Lol,
if i don't split phone between personal and business, i would already pick up Xperia phone instead of my current P7P.
am glad that i have my Aquos R6 on other side of my pockets. It has microSD slot and allow me to slot in my 1TB card there.
phone with larger storage tend to be usable for longer time as well, thus less upgrade / phone changes needed.
