How much memory does KitKat take up? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am thinking about buying the nexus 5 on ebay. But all the 32gb are just overpriced. So I was considering buying a 16gb. I was wondering how much memory is actually on the Nexus. I use Google play music so my music won't take up space. Thanks

There is about 13GB of usable space for you with the 16GB model.

12.55GB to be exact, which is more than enough for me.

Can't wait for google to ship it to you in a few weeks? why can't you buy the 32gb ver from google?

lol that sucks
but anyways, 32gb, whatever class it is, for $29 isnt bad
class 4 is good enough for a mobile phone. If you just use it to store mp's/photo's.
Higher then class 4 is only interesting when filming/photographing on a high resolution and thus need a high read/write speed.
Anyway, $29 for 32 gig is a very nice price!!
Still... don't know why this in the dev. forum

I bought a SD card and a thumb drive. Both turned out to be fakes from China. The 32 GB thumb drive only held 14 GB of data and was flaky at that. The SD card was slow and was also unbranded. I would be very careful about what data you save to it. It might just go south on you.
Keep an eye on sales ads. I just got a 8GB class 10 micro SD at bestbuy for $19.99
**This is in the dev thread because it was a mistake on the OP part. He asked for it to be moved, but the MODs have not done so. I suggest sending them a PM bro. Might get a better response.
There are free programs, like h2testw, you can download to test the sd cards and usb drives. I purchased one a while ago that was supposedly a 32gb, and windows detected it as a 32gb. I tested it and it was really 1GB.
BE REALLY CAREFUL INDEED,
I bought exactly the same 2 weeks ago on Ebay, same packaging exactly, about same price.
It was a fake that was only 2Go, with a ridiculous transfer rate of 2.2Mo/sec with downs to 150ko/sec
So I bought another one 32Mo, branded, class4, more expensive of course! (I also think we don't really more than class 4 unless your're really impatient when transferring big files from your PC to your SD card. Class 4 is already enough for the Sensation HD recording, and having class 10 wouldn't speed up any app except for some benchmarks that take SD card write/read into account)
Check microcenter. I picked up a 16 gig class 10 today for $28+tax... Well worth the price.

I took a chance on one of these. The seller has 100% positive feedback and has sold a ton of them. So hopefully it works out. He also will fully refund my money if it doesn't work. So reward outweighs the risk.

Nice man that's a pretty good deal. I ordered my class 10 16gig patriot from newegg for something like 40 I think , l don't like to buy stuff like that in stores because its way over priced usually. Unless you're talking Fry's they frickin price match from store and online like newegg,Amazon and tigerdirect.

Locally the highest you can get is class 4 and 16GB. For now it will be good until 64GB cards come out. And all the other prices for lower.

Usually when they come with a SD Adapter, they are fake. I bought a Class 10 16GB PNY from amazon for $33.

The 64GB cards are MICRO SD XC
The cards this phone supports are MICRO SDHC.
I love passing storage milestones, but don't get too excited, only a handful of devices currently have the architecture to support microSD cards bigger than 32GB, so make sure you have a compatible device before you empty your wallet. Don't have one? Don't sweat it, Your phone sucks. LOL

Why would you say this. I've bought at least 4 different cards that came w/adapters and they were not fakes in any way. I just got my new Sandisk 32GB SDHC yesterday and now I've got the room for my Music.
I'll stick with my 16 GB class 6

I have a 16gig A-Data class 6 that I bought from Newegg. It works perfect and I have no issues with it.
I've used A-Data since my G1 days and I've had no issues. Good and cheap card.

The truth is sdxc and sdhc have the same hardware and every thing else the only difference is the file system moving from fat32 to exfat which is an improvement of fat32 current used on all mobile devices and alot of limitations like only holding file of 4gbs
For all current devices all they need is a firmware update to work with sdxc but manufacturing company are introduction it like a new thing if u bought one and formatted it to ext4 or ext3 it would work on android or Linux
Or wait it exfat drivers are out for android
Just do some research and will see

Sandisk is good. I've had one thats about 5 years old and it still works like a champ!
I bought a 16GB SanDisk class 4 on Amazon for $26. If you're going to transfer a lot of HD video back and forth from the SD card, then I suggest something higher in class, but for everything else class 4 is A-OK.
I like Adata, have my class 6 from them for a while now with no errors or anything. Going to get a 16GB class 10 soon.
I got a 16GB and I keep 6 movies on my phone and still have plenty of room. Also I have a Few mp3's.

I have several 8GB and 16GB Class 10 cards from AData and I love them, all of them have great performance, average transfer rates of 14MB/s...
Just picked up a Patriot on ebay, class 10, 16GB. Writes @ 12Mb/sec Reads @ 7Mb/sec
Best is the lexar class 10 32gb sdhc.
Little pricey at around 90 but well worth it. Had mine since may. Fast read write and no errors.the cheap ones can get errors and burn out.

I also have the Lexar class 10 32GB...super fast and tons of space. Paid about $100 for mine at Microcenter but you can probably find it cheaper elsewhere...I'm a big fan of instant gratification lol.

Another lexar here. I think I got mine for $85. There was another thread like this going a while back that had a link to it. I'll see if I can find the website. Phone runs great. I have 10gigs of music and use torrents alot. Haven't ran out of room yet and don't even really need to worry about it. Plus with the mod roms most stuff is a2sd now and the phone runs better with class 10 sd
I thought anything higher than a class 6, you are pretty much wasting your money since most phones don't support class 10.

I think 32GB is too much, then again, that's just me. I personally use an 8GB Class 6 SanDisk MicroSDHC Card. Got it for about $13 on Amazon

Free Space

Hi All,
Just had a play with the S6 and S6 Edge, both 32GB variants with minimal installed apps and they only had 12.4GB free space. I am glad I opted for the 64GB model. Can anybody who actually has the 32GB variant confirm that what I have seen is correct? if so that is a lot of space taken up by Samsung.
Thanks
I've seen screens where between 22 and 24GB were free on the 32GB model. On retail units it's often less because of the software and demo material on them.

It will be very limiting if we don't delete old videos,music and photos to add more.
I have 3gb left on my M8 16gb + 16gb sdcard and the available internal memory is about 10gb when I bought it, so total user memory 26gb, now it's 23gb on S6 for the 32gb
Well let's hope black market will bring the 64gb in my country then
