Assuming this is accurate... it just keeps getting better

32gb is enough since it has micro sd support
Sent from my A0001

But for 20 bucks more you get double the memory. Add a leather back and your done for $500 or maybe even less!

Would be cool and mean most would likely buy the 64Gb for $450, but I recall a few of the media at the launch asking and Moto reps said $50 bumps for the other two storage sizes. That would mean $450 for the 32Gb and $500 for the 64GB. Seems no way Moto would price that low and would eat into margins like a "sumbich' and make no pricing sense from a consumer elasticity standpoint. They could charge more, sell the same volume and make a lot more money, since the margins are not enough to sway most consumers at those prices. If a market is that price sensitive, they would be buying the lower tier models anyway.

I think Motorola needed to do something drastic. Since there sales haven't been that great the last few years. Considering htc and samsung sales aren't as good as they thought. This wouldn't be the bs storage upgrades that samsung and apple have.

I'll gladly buy the 16gb version and get a big SD card for $30 and call it a day

Same thoughts here as well. I haven't even maxed out my 16GB GS3 here, :good:.

Tom's Hardware has the info given from Motorola in a Play and Pure/Style article released today and shows as the Moto reps said on some of the media launch videos:
16GB = $400
32GB = $450
64GB = $500

That sounds more believable.

Still great prices. Moto just needs to make enough of them on time.

So with SD card support is there really a need to go much higher? My music is stored on card anyway

I think the 16GB version is fine since I already have a 64 GB micro SD card. That's the beauty of it all.

If you have a lot of apps the storage is nice. Newer 3d games take up 1.5gb of space. My Note 4 32gb is as full as I can get it and still update apps, but I have over 15gb more games I can't install since no space.

I worry about the sd card going bad. Happens all the time. I prefer more storage in the device so it get's the same warranty.

Stop buying cheap SD cards as thats most likely the reason why your SD cards keep failing. I only buy SD cards from genuine retailers online or instore. Too many fakes about.

[Small Review] SanDisk 32GB MicroSDHC (Class 2)

Hey guys,
got my new SanDisk 32GB MicroSDHC (Class 2) Card yesterday and it is performing great so far.
But before that, I'd like to warn you that there are tons of fake cards floating around.
I bought a 32GB Card one week ago and it turned out to be fake:
h**p://img517.imageshack.us/img517/6867/unbenannt3kj.jpg
I've tested to write the full capacity to the card but apparently this card only holds up to 1,9GB.
DON'T BUY FROM EBAY OR OTHER "SMALL BUSINESS SHOPS" You'll most likely get a fake card.
Really pissed after this experience I decided to buy from a reliable computer shop and spend more money and received my 32GB Card yesterday, and what can I say? It's better than I expected for a Class 2 card.
Check out the results here:
h**p://img155.imageshack.us/img155/4060/s32gbsdhc.jpg
As you can see, this card is genuine and you can write up to ~30GB to it.
The write speed with 5,21mb/s is pretty good for a Class 2 Card. Also the read speed is quite decent with 14 mb/s
This is more than sufficient for HD video recording and all the other things you'd wanna do with your Galaxy S.
I didn't expierence any lags with my phone using this card. Switching between photos, music etc.... all goes very smoothly.
Here's also a HDTune (3.50) shot for you guys interested in the read iops:
h**p://img85.imageshack.us/img85/1818/s32gbsdhc2.jpg
Verdict: All things considered, I think this card performs fairly well without slowing down my Galaxy S. Watching tons videos/photos, listening to a huge music library and not having to worry about storage is really great.
The only downside of this card is the price (I've paid 108€) but considering the fact that the iPhone with 32GB is bloody expensive and with this card you would have up to 40GB of storage on your Galaxy S, this card is really a bargain and I fully recommend it.
That's great! I'm also considering to buy one the 16gb class4 version, but it seems difficult to find in Europe.
Where did you get your 32GB card?
30424 Mbye = 29.7109375 gb
What happened to the rest of the 2gb?

some space will be taken by the file allocation table when the card is formatted as with all drives from harddrive to memory cards.
also the 32gb is somewhat less than 32gb in true storage size

I've bought it in Germany (ARLT Computer).
talking about memory and disk stuff,
32GB=32.000.000.000 bytes
wich is, 30517,58 MB or 29,80 GB
this is for the simple fact
a 8GB hard disk contains 8.000.000.000 bytes
a 8GB ram stick contains 8*1024*1024*1024=8589934592 bytes
That's a lot of cash considering a non-fake Toshiba Class 2 16gb is currently selling for £17.99 delivered in the UK?
€108 equates to about £90!
32GB cards are currently considerably more expensive than 2 x 16GB cards.
Where's the deal on that 16GB in the UK btw...?
So you can use micro SD HC cards with the galaxy s? I was told that you had to use an adapter because the device only has a micro SD slot? Sorry if this is a silly question, i haven't really dealt with external flash storage that much apart from my old sony ericsson walkman phone which used stick pro duo or something like that.

Er, that depends. To me having a 32GB card is well worth the extra expense, may not be to others, but its not a black and white issue as you suggest.

I'm also considering on buying one. I'll check out the price here at Singapore's COMEX event tomorrow. Last time I checked it is still SGD168

Yea, it doesn't lag; at least there is nothing what I would describe as "laggy".
It does take some time to load 100s of photos on the gallery app, but I think this is quite normal.
At least if I view a hires picture, it opens up near instantly. Switching between pics and focusing also happens very quickly.
I'm happy with it so far. Having used this card for more than two months I don't have any complaints at all and I fully recommend it.
How is 720p hd recording with the card? Try it and see if the recorded video is stuttering. Ty.

that looks too good to be true- Im tempted!
When something seems to be too good to be true it usually is.
Memory cards aren't something you wanna be cheap about. Specially since cheaper knock off cards tend to have memory failure randomly and early in their lives.
It would suck to have lots of important pictures and data on the card and it to stop working!
posted from a EPIC4G.
Those are fake. They will format as 32gb if you are lucky, but the instant you add more than 16gb or 8gb or whatever it actually is, the data will be "corrupted" or some other nonsense, since its not actually 32gb.
Do NOT get memory cards on ebay for all the reasons mentioned above. I have personal experience with some of these.

Unfortunately I consider all memory cards on ebay knockoffs. They Suck!! Suck bad!!! I consider myself a pretty enthusiastic photographer and purchase memory cards for my camera quite often and in the period of a year I bought 3 of them from ebay just to test and one got corrupted within a month, another just died as in couldn't be recognized at all, the third one worked and then one day i went to format it and it said format successfull only that I could never write to it again. It would always give me a write error, or the message on the camera would show up to change memory cards.
They are horrible horrible cards.
Compared to the ones I buy in newegg, even the cheaper brand ones from transcend worked flawlessly. I think once with transcend I push the card in really fast, and it gave me the change memory card error but the card still works once i took it out and put it back in carefully.
Sorry man, some things ebay is good for and other things its just not so please avoid.
it was removed off of ebay.
FWIW I've actually had good luck with the Microcenter branded micro sd's. I've used them in phones and cameras for the last couple of years and haven't been let down yet. I even have one in my Windows 7 lappy for that readyboost feature.

I'm in the Columbus store at least once a week to grab stuff for work and to go next door to Gallo's for lunch and they still don't have anything larger than 16. It took then a while before they carried the 16 so hopefully they will get a 32 in soon.

128GB Micro SD Memory Card real or fake.

I found out about two weeks ago there was a 128 gb micro sd out, and it was going for $200, but if you pre ordered it with Amazon you only paid $119.00, but you had to wait 4-6 weeks for it to be sent to you. I didn't have the extra funds in my account to get this.
So i said to myself i'll wait, and get it when i have to extra cash to spend. Now that i have it, Amazon is no longer selling it at that price.
here's why on the bottom of of the amazon page.

Here are my rules with buying flash:
1) "never buy flash sd or micro sd from online retailer. Period!
2) only buy flash sd or micro sd from a store with an excellent return policy such as bestbuy or futureshop.
Yes you'll pay premium dollar but the reality is there are fake memory cards everywhere and the retalers don't even know they are selling it and if they don't even know they are selling it, good luck proving it!
Also 69 is way too good to be true! you need at least clash 10 on android and and heck Sandisk is the only memory card manufacturer that has proven their use on android, if it not Sandisk, forget about it!
I hate fake memory cards, worst thing about them is how much time you invest in trying to fix them! You spend the first week in denial that you could possibly been sold a fake memory card and spend all this time formatting and re-formatting them with different applications and operating systems, try different roms, different kernel combinations, posting help because your rom is acting buggy, lose data? and all the while reason for all your woes has been due to using a fake memory card.
Very probably fake, i was buying mine twp months ago and the one with the largest storage was 64 gb. More than enough for 99% of uses.
That wouldn't even work for our phone. You going to use it on the Find 7 or something?

128GB SD cards will work with our phones with a SD to MicroSD adapter. i use one now.
in fact it will go up to 256GB

I believe he was talking about the Samsung from Newegg. This is definitely fake. As said before, anything above 32GB is SDXC, not SDHC like in the picture. Also Samsung has not yet releases 128GB. Also, look at the picture. "12" is of a different font /size than "8". The reviews for the seller "Redtagonline" has 2 stars out of 5. Just preorder from Amazon. Make sure you format it as either Fat32, or eXFat if your Kernel supports exFat

What size Galaxy s6 did you get(32gb, 64gb or 128gb) and why

Hello all,
I should be getting my 64GB Galaxy s6 tomorrow(so pumped up...new toy) but i am hoping that with all the stuff i have on my phone now that 64GB will be enough.
Am i the only one that is thinking this?
Most likely i will play with it over the weekend and see what to do then. but i think i should have gone bigger..
Thanks
I got the 64GB to replace my S4 16GB+32GB mSD which I never filled. The price to upgrade to 64GB on Edge wasn't bad, and even though I never filled it before, 32GB felt "limiting"
164GB just sounded silly for my needs. But, if I traveled more I'd want the music and movie storage

Also got the 64gb.
Had to stop myself from buying the 64gb edge.. Was a lot easier when the guy offered a wireless charger, meant less money to spend.
64gb because 128 is far too much and 32gb is far too little.
If I wanted more than 64gb I'd simply OTG it up!
i bought the Edge 64GB because they didnt have the 128GB available and will learn to live with less space.
bigger is always better
you should have gone for the 128gig one, especially when u start talking about movies and series they will gobble up your space in no time.
128 GB because...
- It's only $100 more than the 64 GB.
- Even with cloud storage and services, I like to download torrents directly to my phone to watch later.
- If I want higher quality music, I'll download FLAC files and those take up a lot of space.
- I know I'll regret getting anything less than the max space they offer.
- I can't add space at a later date.
- The phone will definitely have a high resale value as this is most-likely the rarest S6.
- It's only $100 more than the 64 GB.

Which is only $100 more than the 32GB. But in the end you are talking about $599 vs $799 which is a huge difference.

I am getting the 128gb just planning ahead. Who knows what is in store for us in the future, and I just wanted to make sure that I had enough.
I too am coming from an S4 with 16gb +32gb SD (since the S5 wasn't a large enough leap to make the change), as I am sure many feel the same way.
I ordered the 128gb because there isn't a micro SD slot anymore, and I don't want to have to worry about memory. Just peace of mind really.
I picked up the 64gb version. Although the 128 was only another $100, I didn't need that much space.
I too got the 64gb. You have 50gb free on a new device. For me that's plenty and if I fill it up with pics I can just dump them on my computer. I also have a tablet with an SD card I can store stuff on. If I only had a phone though I might opt for more.
I got the 64 because I had an s5 worth a 16 gig sd card and both were pretty full. Also like stated before, who knows what's in store for us in the future. Also, apps seem to be getting bigger and bigger.
So the system files take up 14 GB?

System is a little over ten and then apps take up some more. It's between 12 and 14. Don't remember exact number.
I got the regular Galaxy S6 64GB in black sapphire on Verizon. I used about 20-25GB on average when I was using my Galaxy S4. So 64GB seems to be more appropriate for me. 128GB would have been nice but for the price point, I don't need it that much.

i purchased a 128gb white S6. I'm coming from a 32GB + 64GB SD Card S5. I like to download my spotify playlist to the phone, i also listen to tons of podcasts, plus I sync my school files/work files to the phone through Dropbox/Dropsync. I don't want to worry about running out of space.
Well i decided to trading up to a 128gb from 64gb. I talked to Verizon and made the trade.
I should be getting the 128gb on the 24th, so until then i will be using the 64gb:good:
Not a big fan of Internet ("cloud") based storage. I was thinking 64GB might be just enough but then went with 128GB ...Yes, Samsung won [emoji14]

Got my wife the 64GB one. She had 32GB S4 and a 32gb SDCard.

What is your 128gb micro sd card choice?

Hello guys, I guess we don't have this discussion here yet. So one of the reasons that m9 kicks ass is having an sd card slot. But which brand is the best, most reliable and fast? What is your 128gb choice?
I honestly was gonna go for sandisk but I read some worrying reviews on amazon as they sent some people fake sandisk microsd cards and they sucked. That's another thing, where can we buy those online, the safest place?

I'm very surprised to hear that SanDisk would send out fakes and risk their reputation. This must be Amazon or a 3rd party doing this.
Samsung have always been great at making memory chips so I see no reason why their memory cards wouldn't be top standard.

This is one I bought. It has the highest write speed of any of the cards I could find online and I can confirm that it works flawlessly. I've been shooting 4K video on it and it has the proper read/write speeds to manage that efficiently. I checked the reviews prior to purchase and they're extremely positive; among the highest of all of the choices on amazon believe it or not.
I use 64gb extreme pro from SanDisk.

Are you sure Amazon is the seller not the shipper? I mean I could sell things there but Amazon does the shipping.

Thank you for the answer, I have a question, since I am coming from very limited memory 16gb htc one s, for the last 2 years I suffered so much about storage on my phone and I swore that I would get the biggest storage available on my next phone, but I am not planning to record 4k videos or store hd movies. tons of photos, I just want to be able to update my apps, download apps. take photos every once in a while without seeing a low storage message
so my question is would 64 gb micro sd card be enough for me definetely or should I just go for 128 gb?
Thank you in advance!

One review stated seller was GTDTech.
You can choose other seller who sells cheaper than Amazon. I don't think Amazon sells the fake ones. Other sellers who use Amazon prime shipping probably do this. Not all of them but yeah, it happens.

Nah, I think that 64GB is probably more than enough to cover you for quite a while. The only reason I personally got the 128 is because 64 was cutting it close for me to be able to store my 36GB of music, my 10GB of photos, nandroid backups, and have room to shoot some 4K. If you're not doing any of this, 64 is a lot of storage and it'll take you ages to fill it. Save yourself $80 and grab one of the 64 cards on a sale via amazon. I've seen Samsung, PNY, and Sandisk all get down under $30 for the 64gb cards. All class 10.

Hey guys,
Just ordered my 128GB Ultra Micro SD MicroSDXC 48MB/s Class 10 UHS-I and waiting to receive it
I always use http://www.memorybits.co.uk for memory cards - they are the cheapest I have found (been using them for years) considering the products are always genuine and reliable.
If you're not from the UK, they have a list of partner sites on the left-hand side - essentially the same site for other countries; I suppose they have warehouses in different countries that they ship from.
Personally, I would never buy memory from eBay or Amazon again - I have fallen for cheap cards in the past. There are just too many fakes around and it's not worth the risk. Even if you get the storage capacity you expect, the chances of a "too-good-to-be-true" kind of deal on a high capacity card lasting more than a day before corrupting all your data are pretty slim
Also, standard delivery is free, they accept PayPal and they have branched out over the years and do a fair bit more than just memory cards
I promise I'm not affiliated in anyway Although I should be on commission :good:
128GB Samsung Evo+ the best and fastest micro sd you can get with transferrates up to 80MB/s. It is also waterproof, shatterproof and safe against radioactivity.
