Bit confused about memory sizes!

Hi everyone!
I want t buy a Galaxy Note 10.1 3G & WiFi in the UK and am bit confused about the amount of memory! I will keep on searching and reading about it.
I can see on this site http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/mobile-devices/galaxy-note/galaxy-note/GT-N8000EAABTU-spec lots of information!
Memory
16 / 32 / 64GB
Upto available memory
Upto available memory
Upto 32GB External Memory
16GB / 32GB / 64GB Nand Memory
1GB SDRAM Memory
So my question is how do I get Galaxy Note 10.1 3G & WiFi with 64gb memory? Is the internal memory 32gb and I add a 32GB Micro SDHC?
I can see stores such as John Lewis selling 16gb models only..
http://www.johnlewis.com/231714901/Product.aspx?s_pccid=pc_gs_200_&
I get the feeling that 16gb, 32gb and 64gb models wil be available, and a further 32gb can be added with a microSD card.
Back to my searching! Any advice appreciated!
Edit - Maybe this answers my own question.. from Handtec

Ofiaich
Depends on ur location / country. Uk only has the 16gb version (nt quite sure)
Remember, that you can use 64GB cards too.
I am quite sure a 64gb version will never exist as it was with tab 7.7 ...........
It appears the 64gb version was bumped from their line up according to this article from pcworld
http://www.pcworld.com/article/2609...w_the_pen_sets_this_android_tablet_apart.html
Not sure, there was a 64gb version of the SGS3 but no-one seems to have in stock though Kogan did for a little while.
The bastards seem to release 16gb first then 32gb. REALLY bites as I would've liked a 32 or 64gb version sraight off the bat though the price goes up enormously....
Still, 64gb internal and 64gb micro sd card would be sweet...

Only 11GB Free?

Just unboxed mine, thought it was supposed to be a 32gb rom. Only shows 11gb free space, doh!
16GB, having only that much free is pretty standard sadly.

From what I understand the international dual SIM model will have 32GB on board, and no expandable storage option.
I stuck a 32GB SD card in mines and I am good to go. 10 class for $10.99 from SanDisk so no complaints over here.
IDOL 3 (4.7) 6039Y: Internal memory: 8 GB EMMC + 1.5 GB RAM. End user memory: 4 GB
IDOL 3 (5.5) 6045Y: Internal memory: 16 GB EMMC + 2 GB RAM. End user memory: 10 GB
Both - MicroSD (up to 128 GB)
Don't have info for the dual sim version.
yeah, it's pretty vanilla, actually.
Compared to, say, the Galaxy S5:
http://www.androidcentral.com/galaxy-s5-rom-bit-monster-taking-nearly-8gb-storage
And 16gb is more than enough with SD cards being so cheap now.
About 3 years ago, I went into the ocean w/ my phone in my pocket for ~45 minutes (like an idiot), and of course the phone was toast, but the data on the micro SD was unscathed; in fact, I'm still using that card.
That's normal. I would think people would realize this by now. With my Samsung Skyrocket I had 11GB free so it varies slightly depending on the size of the OS ROM. But who cares. I picked up a 128GB Micro SD for $70 on Amazon. Damn I have tons of space now.
What is end user memory on this phone.

S6 64GB Edition

I have an S6 with 64GB internal memory (unbranded/stock) but noticed the system storage is 8.98GB, can someone tell me if this is normal. Before this I had the Note 3 but that's system storage was only 5GB
Yeah I've got the s6 edge 64 GB and its about the same too. But with my s6 32gb it was only around 5gb too. And I would imagine the 128 GB uses 10-11 GB. Pretty stupid

4GB or 6GB of RAM?

The Honor 9 comes with two different options for RAM. You can get either 4GB or 6GB. During the launch event, Honor showed a video speed test where the 6GB RAM Honor 9 smoked the Galaxy S8.
In this video, you can see it's about on par with the OnePlus 5.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxDGpZhohrY
So which version will you be getting?
The 4GB one, it is already a bit expensive in Europe (at least in comparison to China) and I don't think I need the extra 2 GB anyway
I'd like to take the 6 GB version. But in Europe only the 4 GB version is available. And I don't think buying it in China just to get those 2 extra GB is worthy, since you'll have to pay more after customs and you're probably losing warranty.
Any thoughts about that? Are you buying official store EU or from China importers?
Thanks

Question 128 or 256 GB?

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.
