Storage - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know the S6 is coming with 32, 64 or 128gb of int. storage. Does anyone know if all three options will be available for the US Market?
Thank You,
Vinny

US will get all three storage options for sure.
My Canadian carrier even already has device registration for S6 and S6 Edge since yesterday for Black and White in all three storage options for each.

Thanks, that makes me a happy camper.

they'll all come to the US, the question is which carriers will carry all 3? same with the colors.. i doubt all of them will have all 3 available.. i think the 32 and 64 will be widely available, not so sure about the 128 and it'll be hella expensive which many people probably aren't willing to spend that kind of money, so carriers may opt out from even carrying it.

AT&T and Verizon, T-mobile and likely Sprint at the very least will have Black and White in all three storage options.

[Q] Where are the 32gb note 10.1 models in uk?

I have had mine on order with a online seller and its due in 19/10/12.
the samsung uk site does not list the 32gb either?
I cant find a single thing about no 32gb models being for sale/in stock in the uk so whats going on; anyone know?
i Cant answer you question but have you considered buying the 16gb version and putting in a 64gb Micro SD Card?
It seems here in the Netherlands what seems like a good chunk of europe, 16gb models are available, that seems to be my impression.

That's the only company that seems to be offering them (32GB), as I have mine on order from them with same due date. Someone left a review for the 32gb so I'm guessing they had the stock at some point.
I tried emailing Samsung UK, but the email got bounced ggrrr

Have you tried Samsung Mobile's Facebook page.
I have used it in the past with 'some' success.
By bringing your question to the masses puts Samsung on the back-foot.
If you do not get a reply keep hammering your own replies. It won't take long before someone starts to notice and the last thing they need is an irate customer base.
I also spoke with Clove on this and they too have not had any success with dates.
It will come but as you say it is bloody annoying.
I refuse to order a 16GB model as most of my Apps (not games) have extremely large data files which all get dropped into the 16GB (11GB after main default installation) part of the available memory, thus for me it would not take too long before that remaining 11GB's has been taken. Granted you could root your device and use DirectoryBind to move the data over to your external SD card memory but unfortunately rooting is not for me.

Max supported size is 100% 32gb acc to all official documentation. some peoples reviews on the net are wrong quoting 64gb supported in msd slot.
i brought a 32gb card ready to put in thus giving me 64gb when ever it arrives.
the fact samsung direct dont even list it suggests to me that the 32gb models havent even been shipped from the factory yet.
i emailed samsung directs sales team no reply.
I will try the facebook idea....
Yay i am not the only one who got sucket in on "unnamed website" the 32gb review on there cant be legitimate in my opinion i orded mine soon as it appeared on the site!
i noticed the date 19/10 has now gone up for new orders. its a cheak they list it as in stock when i first put the order through!
When Note 10.1 was announced and sold back in August Sammy rep. Europe said that 32GB will follow depending on the selling situation.
Wonder if there will be 3g/WiFi Notes with 32GB at all.
Was the same with Tab7.7 ...................... (no 64GB version until now !)
64Gb SD cards work with the Note 10.1.
As for the version with 32Gb internal storage, I ended up buying from the States - it got to me in 2 and a bit working days, :victory: but I got stung for €100 inport costs
64GB ards work with no issues.

Be careful..... It's not actually Woolworth's but a 'multi-owned corporation' that sells this.
They use the defunct Woolworths & Littlewoods.
Here's the same tablet only this time being sold by Very.co.uk
Notice it's the same notices "Non returnable under our Approval Guarantee, once installed or connected" and web content as Woolworths.
Good spot. I'm not getting one anyway but thought it was uk based.
I think I'll stick to 16gb + 32GB card.

They are UK based! They are part of the shop direct group that includes very, littlewoods, Woolworths, isme , etc.
I got mine through very with no issues... the only time you will have an issue is if your item develops a fault and they try to wash their hands of you, by saying you must deal with the manufacturer after a day.... c*nts
Yeah, I think years ago I'd have taken the risk but these days is prefer to have a simple returns policy instead.

Samsung backstabber...

Way to announce 32GB as the BASE model then SNEAKING in a 16GB on launch day...(forcing the prices of the 32GB model even higher). I'm ALMOST done with Samsung.
Who what now?
yeah what, where? UK online stores don't show any 16GB version...
Almost everyone wants the bigger models and complains that the 16GB is not worthwhile..
Samsung will offer both. They didn't say prices

I'm talking about eBay prices. Sellers on these sites are now offering the 16GB model at the same price they would've offered the 32GB model. Had Samsung not released the 16GB model we'd be getting the 32GB model at the lowest price.
Just buy in store. Why get it on eBay? Thats a GIANT risk imo.

It's not out yet. And in the US they only sell carrier branded locked phones so we're forced to buy from eBay.
Have you never heard of a developer edition? Also if you pay full price at ATT/Verizon/T-Mobile, they will unlock the phone for you.
I'm pretty sure the ones you get in the Aussie stores are 32gb minimum. It's the ones on the website (eg kogan) that had the 16gb version.
Mind you the 16gb versions are 3g only

I'm seeing the 16 GB versions at Mobiciti. I thought is was 32/64GB options, and was holding out for 64GB.
They also have a dual sim version, but not with 4G.

Can you provide a couple or few links to those EBay stores? I have seen a few that said 16GB in the title but in the product specs it was saying 32GB.
E.g: Like the seller below. Title=16GB / Item Specs=32GB. Probably a simple error but error like that are unacceptable when getting ready to pay someone $800+.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-3-N9005-LTE-16gb-BLACK-4G-Smartphone-/321216759590?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item4aca02c726&_uhb=1
P.S: But then again, its Ebay. Good/Trustworthy sellers are hard to find and not many.
The 16GB version is supposed to be for Hong Kong only at least that is what I had read. Not sure why the hell anyone would want a 16GB version EVER. Also this is why Samsung is going to SIM locked by region software, to stop these gouging aholes from doing just this.
Does the Samsung Website say they even have a 16GB version? Because it's only 32 or 64

There's a HUGE difference between SIM unlocked (which most international variants of phones are sold as) and bootloader unlocked (this is what allows a custom recovery and ROMs to be installed).
If you pay full retail price or you're at the end of your 2 year contract, you can ask for a SIM unlock. Basically this is Verizon acknowledging that the phone is yours and allowing it to activated on other carriers.
Verizon will never bootloader unlock the phone for you. That only happens from the incredible devs here on xda. You can also purchase the developer edition directly from Samsung (emphasis again on Verizon having nothing to do with this) which will have an unlocked bootloader.
Here in Thailand they only sell the 32GB version and as they usually sell the smaller storage versions here (16 instead of 32) I assume there is no 16GB version available ...

Possible to get Global version for use on US Carriers?

hi i'm still running an M8 but the U11 looks like finally the phone that will trigger me to upgrade. I'm confused about how the US versions will be getting 4GB RAM 64GB storage, while the international versions will get 6GB RAM 128GB storage.
Anyone know if it's possible to get the international version to work on US Carrier? I'm on AT&T.
Thanks
excited to see how the edge sensitivity stuff works out

Wrong information mate. All countries will get the same 4GB RAM/64GB internal configuration. Only difference are Taiwan and China were HTC will ship an 6GB RAM/128GB internal version as well. If your not running dual SIM the 64GB variant would suffice I think. But if you really want the larger storage you'd have to import it. Don't know if all US bands are present on this asian versions and if it'll run on AT&T though.

Gotcha. Well thanks for the info. I won't need dual SIM and use an SD card so I was really just interested in getting 25% more RAM if it wasn't hard to get an international version.

Not necessary to have those extra juice. Didn't make a lot in terms of performance on such a phone. Especially as long as it is driven by such an SoC and very well done software optimization.

should be fine with sd835 and 4 gb
Watch out for the dual sim variants. They don't have all the US bands.
I was kinda bummed about this too, but at least we have an SD card slot and HTC doesn't bloat the hell out of their phones with crap like "Touchwiz" so I think it wouldn't make much difference.

Wait, but there's five MIDs, two of which are dual-SIM. So how can "all countries be getting the same 4/64 config"?

Yeah I know bit MID isn't directly tied to storage options. And as far as I know EMEA and US and others are getting 4GB/64GB, while Aisa is the only region getting 6GB/128GB.

Right, I just wanted to make sure that by "the same 4/64 config" you didn't mean all 4/64 devices have the same MID )

Are there no pre order freebies in the UK?

As title says, usually when you pre order a flagship phone from Samsung you get some kind of free item, but can't find anything. Got the Samsung buds free with the S10+. Can't find anything with the Note 10.

Are you sure you want to? I thought the exynos versions don't work in US carriers that's why they use snapdragons? If you do want one I'd imagine ebay or one of the Chinese sites like gearbest would be your best bet.

Verizon told me they will support it gsm but as to whether it will ever do CDMA, i don't know. I think i need to get the latin verson exynos note 10 for that.
Are you looking for the exynos so you have root capability?
Edit: just done a bit of digging and you may be OK with att and tmobile but verizon and sprint can only work on CDMA.

I'm not really sure to be honest. I'm sure the dev community will have it cracked already though. I don't bother these days as I know it can limit some features and android is as open as I need it to be. I'd prefer the snapdragon variant but I'd have to go through the hassle of importing it and sacrifice the warranty and on an £1100 device its just not worth it for me personally

I can understand that but I am sending mine back for the same reason, I forgot the SD855 is very unlikely to get root.
Nah. Nothing. The s10+ was an outlier since the last pre order bonus in the UK was the dex thing for the note 8.
A work colleague got free buds with the s10e. I think it sucks how Samsung treats UK customers compared to elsewhere. I've been an avid note customer since day one and in all that time received a couple of free charging pucks and a GearVR (from Carphonewarehouse).

Couple of Questions....

Hello,
I would like to know the following:
1. Based on the Samsung's Unpacked - Part 2 event, there was a slide / presentation that revealed a 512 GB storage option - so, which market / model would have this?
See attached image.
2. Presuming following the Note 20 Ultra 5G., HK version - which is based on the snapdragon variant, unlock-able bootloader, which means rootable, correct?
3. What the various model numbers for various regions?
3. Will the Thom Browne Edition come in 512 GB?
Thanks.
Very good questions. I saw an ad on ebay that was selling (pre-order) a 512GB so now I'm curious to know what the story is

So, I have an update from Samsung Canada - Chat online (the lpcdn.lpsnmedia.net website for the chat session - since it appears the original chat session never gets connected to an "actual" agent), if you need the direct chat link URL, let me know.
1. 512GB variant is only available in selective markets - according to the internal documents - 512GB is stated as *TBD* - but the chat agent thinks it will likely be the South Korea Variant, and HK Variant only. But also it could be released much later than the original launch date.
3. Thom Browne Edition WILL NOT come in 512 GB, it is only 256 GB.
Also, since you CAN NOT pre-order the Thom Browne Edition on Samsung's Canada's Website - it is again, *TBD* - out of the limited quantities available - Samsung Inventory Management Department (I was quoted to SIMD by the agent) - every region will have a certain quantity for order, and once done, there is no way to order it, unless third party web sites (wondamobile, pda plaza, swiftronics, etc.) carries then.
Not sure if I should take these answers with "grains of salt" or if this agent was actually knowledgeable. The agent's name was Paula.
So, we'll see.

Isn't this due to different habits in each market? EU/US are very cloud heavy, with a lot of streaming for video & music...so most of the storage space will be for apps and photos.
For most users, i'd wager over 90% but don't have stats to back that up, 256gb is more than enough - overkill in fact.
In Korea/China/HK things are different and local storage is really important, so you see a lot of manufacturers offering expandable or larger storage in those markets.

who knows why, either way it's very frustrating similar to how having the note 20 ultra 512gb version available only in black.
its idiotic and just irritates some customers, people want choices that's nothing new.

I'd have to respectfully disagree with this, as I've lived in China for 20 years, literally about half my life. Basically, all China runs on the cloud. You'll find very very few, except for maybe the old generations (50+) not streaming everything from music to games to movies and tv from online streaming services. The only local storage used is to install games and apps, and to hold tens of thousands of pictures they love taking of every little thing. You won't find them storing videos or music or anything on their phones though. So this particular line of reasoning, at least for China, I feel doesn't hold water. But that's JMHO.
Regardless of who lives where and such, it should come with at least what the previous version did and/or allow expandable storage. We all keep getting less yet the price becomes higher. Charger is next to go. They tried as best they could to get it as close to the original price as possible, but there are sacrifices because of it obviously.
Word of caution. We're back to the old days where different variants have different cellular bands. My Tab S7+ 5G from Spain supports a handful of EU 5G bands but the only U.S. band it supports is AT&T's 850MHz. It's SD 865+ just like the Z Fold 2 so I'd imagine all Samsung's 5G phones are going to have support for bands by region. If you're happy with LTE then it doesn't matter. If you like to flip your phones I think a non-5G capable version of a $2,000 phone would be a hard sell here in the U.S. so that's something to consider too.
Old days?? Been like that for as long as I can remember.

Samsung has made multi-models for as long as I can remember. Unless you specifically purchase the US/Canada model, there was always at least 2+ bands missing on LTE from the other variants. Those devices would work in most areas, but not in all of the outskirts.
Even the S20 USA and Canada versions differ, both LTE and 5G bands are different. This on a very recent device.

Which LTE bands do you consider missing? The point I was making is that multi-band LTE support has greatly evolved whereas 5G is going to be hit or miss for a while. Someone with a current generation device can pretty much count on accessing LTE worldwide no matter what the phone's country of origin. For 5G? Not so much and not for a long time.
Looks like wonda mobile got their pre-order page up: https://www.wondamobile.com/samsung-galaxy-fold-2-5g-dual-512-gb-f907n-sim-free-and-unlocked.html
The link mentions F907N variant, but on the page it is F9160.
It costs: $2,221.40 USD (approx. $2,926.21 CAD)
It is the 12 GB RAM, 512 GB storage.
However, surprised to see it as a single SIM, not even an SD slot and/or 2nd sim, is that new for a HK model?
I have asked this question in the Note 20 Ultra thread, but I'll ask again here (as no answers were posted), now that all Galaxy Z Fold 2 is using Snapdragon chipset:
1. Since it is based on the Qualcomm SM8250 Snapdragon 865+, is there a way to change the LTE & 5G bands on the SM-F9160?
2. Is it hard-coded into the firmware of the 5G modem that is incorporated with the Snapdragon 865+, which makes the change impossible?
3. Since I am with Rogers provider - is it possible to change the CSC on SM-F9160 to match that of Rogers?
Dont think your going to get any answers for the next little while. It is still in pre-order state and not readily available. However, I have not seen or heard of any that will have dual SIM and definitely no SD card slot for storage expansion.

Looks like wonda mobile got their pre-order page up: https://www.wondamobile.com/samsung-galaxy-fold-2-5g-dual-512-gb-f907n-sim-free-and-unlocked.html
The link mentions F907N variant, but on the page it is F9160.
It costs: $2,221.40 USD (approx. $2,926.21 CAD)

I could live without the SD card slot if it came with 512gb. But that's the minimum for me. 256gb won't cut it for me so I'm hoping this phone would work out for me in the US. But I don't want to give up 5g or all the bands I need for LTE on tmobile in the US.

Same, I still cant believe samsung was stupid enough to give this top-tier phone only 256gb of storage in most parts of the world. They seem to favour the asian countries since they got 512gb.Note 20 ultra got 512gb in black only here i canada and most other places yet again some (not all) asian countries got other colours in 512gb.
This is a trend starting here and not a good look for samsung or any company showing bias like this.
I've imported tons of phones, but I will not do that with this one due to its more fragile nature and knowing samsung canada will not touch a non Canadian device for warranty.
Hard enough to get them to touch a CDN device with warranty!
