I want buy a new high end tablet.. I prefer stock android cose I am tired of waiting for updates. There is no good nexus tab at the moment unfortunately, the pixel C is too big and has no micro card reader. the Samsung tab s2 is an option but I don't like the small battery. 4000 mha is not enough for my usage. Can you recommend a high end tablet with micro card reader.
Thanks

I have always been a Samsung fan... Tabs, phones, they have all been rock solid. Now, with Android 4..., I realize that having an SD slot is kind of irrelevant as I always used it to store apps, not photos.
I heard the 16gb S4 only allows for about 9gb of user storage. The HTC gives 32...
I do, however, like that, with the S4, I can carry a spare battery unlike the ONE's internal only battery.
The ONE is also about $50 less...
Any suggestions?

get a 32GB galaxy s4 use it for apps and stuff and get an SD card for videos pictures and music that solves it
as for htc did u just say cheaper in my country its 850$ for htc 590 for gs4
I suggest the Samsung Galaxy S4.
Removable everything.
Yeah... Cheaper here in the us, at least the upgrade price at carrier
I currently have an S4. I love it, I also got an extended battery, and a 64GB MicroSD card. I was hoping a better S5 when the S6 came out but it actually seems like they kinda went backwards on a few things. This has left me thinking about just going to a different phone. What does anyone else think? I know extended batteries are on the way out I have given up on that for a next gen phone but was hoping that the S6 would keep the Water proof, USB 3, Removable Battery and MicroSD card. I can only wonder why they took away these features.
Hi, total newbie, first post, but.
As a Samsung owner from the original S, currently running a S4, I have to agree with your observations, in regards to going backwards.
Personally, I see the removal of the SD card as a money making scam on Samsungs part. Ok, I have no real world experience of what handset internal memory costs to buy in regards to manufacturing etc, but.
To me, the variations in memory sizes should have been costed against what the equivalent micro SD card cost to buy respectively.
Sandisc 32gig Class 10 £13
Sandisc 64gig £26
Sandisc 128gig £70 ish.
Not to robbed blindly at £200 for the extra 90 odd gig you get between 32 & 128 inbuilt.
The say they dropped the micro SD due to the full metal frame and glass back, rubbish. It looks like they have a machined slot to take the micro sim, so why couldn't they do similar with micro sd card?
Battery is an issue certainly, if it turns out like the original S4 ones, that ended up swollen.
It makes you wonder if these handsets will be operational in 5 years time. I mention this as I have a few old handsets, in pristine condition, with original batteries from the late 90's, early 2000 that all still work perfectly. Im afraid that I can's see the same with their modern builds.
Well,looks like we don't have much options left of removable batteries smartphones,but its not a big deal,at least for me,because its not like we can't replace it,its just harder but still possible.The issue here is that only 2550 mAh,plus with a unnecessary QHD display ,the S6 battery can perform any better than our S4?
For the SD Card,they don't drop it because of the glass and metal design,its performance related.S6 have amazingly fast R/W internal memory,and a SD card would ruin it.The price off course will be a issue,but i think they made a good choice.
The biggest drawback is the lack of waterproof,and for the USB 3,i wonder when they will begin to implement the Type C standard on Smartphones,that would be cool!
I think im gonna jump this generations of smartphones because I am still happy with the S4 and type C standard is actually a very nice practical thing to have. I'm even delaying my motherboard upgrade because of that.
I'm close to upgrading and undecided between these 2 devices. I'm currently on a Note 3. I would be limited to the 32 gb Note 5 due to cost. Without removable storage that's not much. The V10 has several features gone from the Note 5, like IR blaster, removable storage and removable battwry, but a slower processor. Any input to help me decide?
V10 is too big for me. I looked at one the other day and hated it in hand. But that is obviously a subjective thing.

Size doesn't bother me. And, both are running some good promotional gifts. V10 bought by 11-15 gets a 2nd battery, battery charger and 200gb micro sd.
The V10 doesn't have a notification light if that's important to you
Costco is also offering a $250 Costco card if you purchase a Note 5 and Samsung is giving you wireless charging plate, external battery/charger and really good headphones if you register for Samsung Pay. Along with the $300 Verizon is giving me for trading in a Blu smartphone I'm making out like a bandit

If I were in your situation with the storage I would go for the V10. The LG promo looks like it's something you need too. My friend has the V10 and loves it. I'm very happy with my Note 5 but I have the 64 gig model. As for the battery mine lasts plenty long for my use but that's me.
That's the funny part, I don't need 264gb of storage, the 64 will be enough, and I already have a 64gb card I can put in. If I do get the LG I'll probably sell the 200gb card.
Get a droid turbo 2 then.

Lg free 24" TV at best buy this week. If there were an easy way to do it I'd return the Note 5 and get the v10 in a heart beat.
V10 is ugly however...

I disagree. Have you seen the V10 in person? I think its the nicest Android phone I've seen in a while. The colors of the phones both look great. Its more like gun metal for the dark one and the white and gold looks really good too. LG made an awesome phone. I wish it was out before I bought the Note 5 =/.
I played with a V10 in store for 30+ minutes right after launch. I hated it. Way too big, felt horrible in hand.
So instead I picked up a droid turbo 2 for my other phone instead. Still ugly, but the size and battery are both better.
I don't get the V10 at all. But each to their own.

I ended up with the Note 5.
Hello!
I have an LG G4 which has developed a fault with screen burn-in and so it's being sent back to LG for repair sometime over the next week. I am expecting to be without the phone for around anywhere up to a month, but in the meantime i have a 2013 Moto G 1st Gen that i can use, which is actually a pretty sweet phone when running CM13. The only problem is that the internal storage in the Moto G is only 16GB, and it doesn't have a card slot to put my SanDisk Ultra 128GB microSD.
I investigated the Meenova but it would be a little expensive for me to buy and have it shipped over to the UK, my calculations bring the amount to $15 which equates to approximately £11, which is a bit steep for something i will only use for a month at most. And besides that, the website states that postage from Hong Kong could take more than a few weeks or even a month!
Thankfully, i have come up with another idea. I have a microscopic adapter at home which converts USB to Micro USB. It does essentially the same job as a USB OTG cable but it's incredibly small and genuinely cannot be seen once it is fitted between two devices. So i thought that i could use this adapter to convert the Moto G's Micro USB socket to USB, and then have a USB to microSD adapter plugged into that to add support for my 128GB microSD card.
I am looking at two different cheap ones on eBay at the moment which are here and here. I'm all set for buying one of them but my question is, will either of those work with a card as large as 128GB (microSDXC) such as mine? I'm a little doubtful as to whether these will only support lower capacity cards which are 32GB (microSDHC) and below, but don't see why not because it's only a simple adapter, nothing more.
What do you guys think, would these cheap adapters support microSDXC cards with capacities such as 64GB and 128GB? Any insight on this subject would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
This one will do the job well, extending the storage of my 128GB S10+, an extra 128GB is a plenty for videos/pics/music and the price was right: $28 on amazon.
Yep that's the one I use on my Note 9...for now.

It's hard to tell what are the real SD card speeds inside the phone, I used USB 3.0 reader and USB 3.1 bus on my desktop so it's not a real world result.
Let's hope that some day our smartphones would do data transfer speeds to match these: ( My desktop C drive Samsung 970NVMe/PCIe adapter)
Agree, would be good stuff for us!
I'm thinking about picking up a 256gb. Any thoughts on which ones aren't scams? Seems like the reviews away include fake cards being sent.
