S6 64GB Edition - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

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...

[Q] About the memory

Good day
i bought yesterday o new phone sgs3 and its so nice but why the memory is only 11 gb and not 16 ?its made in VIETNAM
My Verizon Samsung GS3 is a 16GB model, yet my internal storage shows 12.05GB total space. I'm guessing that it's formatting that uses up a portion of the space, similar to hard drives for computers. From other threads I've read, an estimated 12GB of internal storage is typical for a 16GB GS3.

Note Edge 32 GB only ?

hi all I was thinking tmo is only coming out with the 32GB note edge is it worth waiting for the 64 GB if it ever comes out or go with the 32GB ?
There will likely never be a 64gb version. It is a non-issue with a card slot. Add a 128gb card and you have a 160gb phone! Plus the Lollipop update will eventually make sd cards act as something very close to system memory.
Yea I believe they are only doing the 32gb.
I don't think it's worth it to wait.
As said you can add a 128gb card. Most apps right now will read from the sd card. The phone now will storage normal pictures on the SD card, continuous shots are stored on the phone tho.
But other then that movies, music and files can be on the SD card.
And 5.0 will change that to be more like the old android ways.

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.

SD card access much slower than internal storage?

I currently have a 64 GB S6, and I'm thinking of upgrading to a 32 GB S7 with an 128 GB SD card. (I can upgrade through work and sell my S6, so I'll even come out ahead.)
I know that access to the 128 GB SD card is slower than to internal storage, but how much exactly? Would that affect my user experience at all? Would I notice if files are read from, or written to, the SD card on the S7 compared to the internal storage on my current S6?
Any recommendations for specific SD card to put in the S7?
Thanks!

Fastest card you can get would be the Samsung Pro Plus.
And they're priced accordingly, too: $150 for 95 Mb/x, 128 GB on Amazon. Would an 80 Mb/s EVO+ (at about $60 less than half) make a lot of difference in user experience?
(By the way, I'm not a gamer at all, so I doubt I'll have games or other very large apps on the SD card, just media such as photos, music, etc.)

I paid $93 for the 128GB Pro Plus direct from Samsung. I'd say at that price its better to skip the Evo altogether. As for speed the Evo will probably do what you want. I was using a Toshiba class 10 for the past year and a half and had zero speed issues but wanted to jump to the Pro Plus for the extra capacity and to have the speed for HD recording.
I use the Sandisk 128GB 80MB/s without any problem at all, came from S6 64GB, have not noticed any major difference, it works good enough.

@[email protected], since you already did what I'm considering doing, how's the upgrade from S6 to S7 been for you? Are you liking it? Something you'd recommend? How's the S7 camera holding up compared to the S6? (I know the reviews are generally very favorable, but it's always good to get the opinion of someone who's actually made the jump.)

@dutch_in_seattle
hmm, for me I really wanted IP68 and microSD, so it was worth the upgrade, bu also the better battery life and better camera, I love the instant focus... so I would say it was worth the jump, but bare in mind I do get my phone through work so I don't pay for them.
Paid 39$ at best buy on a price match for a 64gb pro plus Samsung
More than read speed for specs on a card.
