For a start it has twice as much internal storage and the Gold be it 32GB or 64GB is limited to certain countries.
And of course the higher price cost, but on the whole same device as the 32GB dual sim..

Can this phone really not handle 64GB microSD card

The specs say upto 32GB.
Is anyone using a 64GB card in their Moto G LTE (the newest model released Jun 2014)? I am planning to buy it but I only have 64GB card and no 32GB card.
I am using a 64gb with no probs and formatted OK in settings/storage. I use a Sony 64gb class 10

I have multiple 64GB that work perfectly fine. Actually, I'm even using my 128GB card right now without a problem.

No expandable storage on dual sim variant?

I bought a 4.7 Idol 3 and just now am seeing comments about the dual-sim variant lacking expandable storage. I've been looking for more info and all spec websites (including from my country) mention it should have a MicroSD slot.
Some dual-sim phones' tray also doubles a card reader, so you can choose whether to have expandable storage or dual sim capabilities. I've been wondering if the same is true for the Idol 3.
Which is true?
The model I'm getting is 6039J-JAALBRC-1, bought in Brazil.

That's true, either 2 sim-cards or sim+micro sd

I don't think so...
The dual-sim slots arent cut out for the MicroSD cards,and even the software of the stock rom for the dual sim variant(in my case the Idol 3 6045K) doesnt show any ability to recognise an SD card.

Yeah,that is what I just said.
The dual sim variant doesn't support MicroSD cards.
But it does have 32GB of storage,while the single-sim ones have 16GB.
When I got this device,I kinda hoped its second sim slot would act as a MicroSD card slot (like in Meizu M2 Note),but I am pretty satisfied with Cloud storage too.

I don't know about 5.5 model, but 4.7 has either 8 or 16 gb of internal memory

That's too bad. Lack of MicroSD suppport would be a deal breaker if I saw it earlier, but I'm going to keep the Idol 3 considering I paid such a low price for it. Hopefully I'll get used to the available ~10 GB it comes with.
Thanks for making that clear.

Will there be Galaxy s7 with two inserted sim cards and a microsd?

Hi
Will there be a version of galaxy s7 (maybe just for some regions) with capability of using 2 sim cards and a microsd at the same time?
I think there's no 128gb version, so what if I want more space (128gb) with two sim cards inserted?
Highly doubt it. I don't know of any phone that has. The dual sim will probably be software locked for certain regions and I don't see Sammy redesigning their phone to accommodate 3 cards, I.E 2 sims and an sd.

Its a hybrid (sim or card) phone, so NO
Think it's possible to do it like this?

If you want to get two sim cards and an sdcard stuck inside, then yes this is the way to go...

Asus Zenfone 2, Xiaomi Redmi Note 2, Xperia Z3 and Z5 Dual, Moto X Play just to quote a few examples...
Well I'm not sure about those phones above but I'm. Sure the motor x play is either dual sim or single simply with microsd but can't take all three at same time. Only going on the fact that I also have a motor x force

Reliable retailer for 6x 64gb models

Hi all,
Anyone know of a reliable retailer that ship to Europe that sells a grey model with black front and 64gb storage?
If I have 64gb internal storage I would be able to use dual sim rather than filling the second slot with sdcard. But this model is unavailable in Europe as far as I can tell.
Thank you for your help!
The second slot is only 2G
AS per my knowledge, that model will be available only in China. It wont be released anywhere.

I am OK with that - second sim is for receiving calls or SMS on my roaming sim.

That would be a pity. Wonder if it would work outside China, or if its even possible to get from there.
I read somewhere that the 4gb model may be released internationally in March which might include the 64gb storage version.

I don't think 64gb variant will be released. However if the bands in your country matches with the supported band by that variant, you can buy it.
Also remember that the devs for this variant will be available only in Chinese forums.

Yeah, the 64GB variant of the Honor 8 was never released in the west either.

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 )
Also, @hamdir reported ME is getting 6/128.

Can you please elaborate, or tell me where I can find out more on this? I need a dual sim device and I'm AT&T. Thanks!

You'd have to import one from China / Taiwan / Europe / Middle East or buy a gray market device on Ebay, etc.
