So I know with solid state drives, larger capacities in general are faster and longer lasting than lower capacities. Obviously, we can't test this yet on the Note 20 Ultra but would the 512 GB have any noticable benefit over the 128 GB?
16 GB RAM would have sweetened the deal but I guess we can't have it all.
Not sure, I only ordered 1 phone so I have no way to test it side by side. But I know a 1TB MicroSDXC card is going in it

I doubt there is going to be a performance difference considering they are the same UFS 3.1 tech just different capacity, however the OS is taking up the same space and running same speed.
As for 12gb of ram vs 16gb. I really doubt you could tell the difference

GSMarena has updated the storage specification from UFS 3.1 to UFS 3.0, does anyone have any benchmarks on the storage ?

Wow so basically it's an S20 ultra with a pen, overclocked 865 and 4GB less RAM.
512GB should "theoretically" be faster than 128GB version just based on how flash memory is arranged. But that is storage only and shouldn't really matter to everyday use I suppose. It's all speculative at this point until we have the devices in our hands though.
I remember how much better the S10 5G was than the S10+ just based on the bigger size. I hope the Note 20 Ultra is the same. I much prefer the squared off shape though.

Same SSD rules will apply here. 512GB will be faster (not noticeable in normal use tho) and will have longer endurance for write cycles. See this snapshot someone uploaded on reddit that clearly states the differences in speed
Not sure if this applies here but has anyone bought Samsung UFS card for external storage and or if it's compatible
I feel it is downgrade more than upgrade
Weird how some regions it’s 8GB of ram. 12GB here.
Is ram that big of a deal? Isn’t 8GB enough?
In germany we get the exynos one... Baddest cpu ever...

How much ram do you have in Germany ?
Exynos 12gb/256gb for Europe or 12gb/512gb with support dual sim
Think we have the 8gb ram Version... But battery life is **** with the exynos also throttling so much. We have hot weather in germany now and my friends s20+ is running hot without gaming... He tried factory reset and swapping the device nothing helps.
Are you sure you're not looking at the regular Note 20? The Note 20 Ultra in the US and Europe shows 12 GB RAM.
Yes , it is note 20 ultrs
LTE models of Note 20 Ultra comes with 8gb ram only , it is available in regions that don't sell 5g models like Egypt
Where have you seen the Note 20 Ultra with only 8Gb RAM? I think you have misread this somewhere!
Only the Regular Note 20 has 8Gb.
Would be interesting if you could show a link to what you've found.
EDIT: Ah you are in Egypt. That still sucks, I hope you get it cheaper though?

Samsung sell it in Egypt for about 1320 $ 256 8gb ram
This really irritates me. Bad enough that it’s not snapdragon. But knocking off 4gb too. And no 5G. Yet the same price
E9825 12/256 to SD865+ 12/256 is just fine for me lol
Honestly if I had the Note 10 + I would not be upgrading. Its just not enough of a leap in my opinion. Especially so with the hampered device in your area.

Yeah, if you look on Samsung's site at the Spec Sheet, the Ultra 5G models have 12GB, but Ultra LTE Models only have 8GB. Not sure why, but it's there on their site. Well, ONLY the Ultra 5G models have 12GB, the rest are stuck at 8.
Thankfully, I'm getting a 12GB version.

I played with the N20 Ultra and I can't see a reason to upgrade. Even the 120hz comes on when it wants and you cant use the highest resolution with the 120hz. I will wait until next year when they get the bugs out. And whatever you do.. DON'T BUY THE NOTE 20. Doesn't make sense to spend $1000 on 1080 screen with no SD card..just a waste.
not sure if this is the right forum.... i am considering the note 10+ 5g.... i am currently looking at the 976u and the 976b variants.....i understand the u variant is not rootable (locked bootloader) and the b version is rootable... also are the wireless channels the same, or would i lose something in using the european version in the US......any help or advice anyone can give would be appreciated....TIA
Hi! someone with that device might see this, but check that device's forum section here:

thank you... i will post in that forum
I'd get the 512 gb 12 gb of ram 4G Snapdragon variant if you don't want to root.
The 5G speed gains aren't that great and the battery life will take a hit. Average 20% speed increase is what I've seen reported.
I have the former and it's a great phone.
You can get a Lexar V30 512 gb SD card for about $75. Get the Buds+ or Buds Pro.
You now have a dual drive 1 tb handheld PC...

Hi there, i'm planning in buy the early bid of the poco x3 pro, but i can't decide what memory cut should i take. i plan to keep it with the stock firmware for at least a year, then jump on custom rom.
In your opinion wich version will have the higher support? should i really mind the 2gb of ram difference?
I think support will be the same, at least I never heard a ROM mentioning the RAM and memory size requirements for the same model (other specs). If you plan to create a lot of videos and edit them with Apps I would go for 8/256. The 256 Gb are UFS 3.1 which is a lot faster then 2.1 which other devices in this price range have and I have seen none with 8/256 so cheap as this device. Snapdragon 860 + 8/256 GB for me are the top specs at this price.
the 2gb of ram do really make some difference? i do not need the extra space, i just want a device "future proof", i have used my moto g5 plus for nearly 4 years, and i'm going to change it just because the battery and the usb plug are quite dead (changed already both)
I can tell you that no noticeable spee difference, but will prevent app reloading in the background. I went for the lower version and everything seems fine.
@surcof :
Save the few bucks for the 2 GB of RAM when you're not a heavy multitasker or use very memory intensive applications on your phone. 6 GB are pretty enough for Android in 2021 and surely for the 4 next years of use.
The 128 GB ROM are definately not worth the higher price because of the hybrid Slot of the device. For 50 € you can buy a fast highend SD-Card with more memory.

Where do you have the POCO X3 Pro with 12/512GB?
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.
