It will be cool for Google to give away like 50gb drive storage for thoes who preorder or buy n4..... what a better way to promote their cloud....

i agree with that. 50gb is alot tho. i could see something like 20gb for free as a feasible option

It would satisfy a number of people, but there will still be those who believe whining in forums will make microSD slots appear.
I wouldn't say 50 GB is excessive. I have 48 gb from dropbox for supercharging my tmobile galaxy S III. (shhhhh, don't tell them it's verizon )

I don't understand why Google don't offer a big chunk of drive storage to nexus users.
It's nothing but a number to them, most people won't even use near the allocation they get - but the fact it's there & ready to be used , is what people need.

Nope, I do not argue for an SDSlot. I do want 32gb though. Cloud is slow. Plus it uses more battery and requires a decent monthly data cap which many people do not have access to.
I love local storage, just as many other consumers do.. They should've offered 16GB & 32GB initially and offer a pre-order for a 64GB version if enough people signed up.. All priced accordingly. I'll pay for it if they make it, just as many others would. I mean I could always keep my S3 WITH LTE, Micro SD (80gigs total now), and a removable battery... Nexus customers know what they want. They choose a Nexus device for a reason.. Otherwise they could be one of the mindless sheep throwing $$$ at Apple.

Mostly they will offer some Play Store credit. They had done it with the N7
Here is what i came up with, for music use google music they are allowing to upload 20,000 songs. For picture and doc etc use dropbox or drive. And for movies transfer the movie to phone and once you done watching it delete it and transfer another one lol. I know its cheap why to live a life
I just bought a 64GB memory card a week ago
I have 20 gb of music on google music. 5 gb of google drive space for docs and books. 5 gb dropbox, 5 gb sugarsync and 5 gb ubuntu one for other files. and a 64 gb usb-otg for video. With that i think i am pretty good. I think i'll be buying the 8gb version and saving some money since tmo looks like they will be selling the 16 gb version for a msrp of $599.99. I wont be gouged $60 in tax. Thats bull****!
I also have a nexus 7 which the usb-otg is/was for and that goes with me everywhere.
They can give us whatever amount of Drive storage they want, it would be as useful as giving somebody replacement pistons for their new car.
The Drive mobile app is so uncapable of even doing the most basic tasks, that it is comepletely useless. You can't even move files to the location you want, cant add pictures to your gallery, can only download one file at a time, and only access them from the drive app.. Imagine looking at an album and having to go back each time after you viewed a picture, to download and view the next... The same with music, have fun opening each song on its own, and not being able to copy them to your music player.
Drive is just a pity.

I dont think i'll need the 16gb. I have an 8gb sd card in my sensation and utilize all the services i mentioned. with ubuntu one syncing my pics to my computer and a backup of that directory on another hard drive in my computer. The only thing that sits on my sd card is the current rom, back up working rom, gapps and a few music albums i'm not sure if i want to put on google music yet. Google's cloud music isn't great yet but it is getting there.
Corrupted MicroSD is what broke my Nexus One and made me buy an iPhone.
64gb of MicroSD card just makes you carry loads of crap that you dont need.
Digital hoarding is a thing.

Not when it's Tons of Music, and Nandroid backups. People with data caps can't really afford to stream when they're away from wifi. More storage in the form of ondoard flash or a micro sd slot is a must for MANY people, and will remain to be a deal breaker for alot of people. If Google wants to compete, they need to at least add 32GB and a 64GB while pricing them accordingly. Tons of people bought the Int. GNex 16GB for $500+... Do you really think they would pass on a 64GB Nexus 4 @ say $549 or $499???..

I'm poised to order my Nexus 7, but I'm torn on which to get. Anyone out there running out of space on the 8GB? with all the cloud stuff, is there a need for the extra 8GB? How much space is left for files on the 8GB version? is the extra 8GB worth $50?
5.91GB total space on my 8gb.
I'll personally just be using OTG.
I would suggest getting it if you can afford it.
90% of the time, I use it at home; but if I'm going on a plane, or the subway, or any kind of trip where I can't count on a strong WiFi or tetherable cellular signal, I don't also want to be forced to deal with size limitations that I could have very well avoided.
The way I looked at it was play store is $213 shipped for 8gb. Other retailers have the 16gb for $249 and free shipping so in essence its $36 more vs $50. That $14 saved can go towards accessories.

I could survive with 8GB as I don't store anything locally like music or movies.
Depends if you are a big gamer, I got the 16 gig it was about 270 out the door at Sam's club so 213 from the play store sounds like a good deal. I live in California though so I would have had to pay sales tax so an 8 gb would have been like 230 for me from the play store.

If you intend to play movies/TV shows/videos on the thing without wifi our tethering (personally I'd never tether for video playback but whatever) then in my opinion 16 is a must. HD movies rented from Google play look amazing on this thing and will suck up about 1.8 gigs for a 2 hour movie. I can totally see myself loading a few high definition movies and watching them on a long flight without the need to transfer files via otg cable or wireless transfer.

I preordered the 8 gig and have second guessed myself the last few weeks. I decided today to refuse my 8 gig shipment and bought a 16 gig in store. I figure I may swell save $20 on shipping and use it towards the upgrade. I don't regret it at all. Especially since Google screwed up the shipping.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I weighed the pros and cons but in the end decided that having more space than I needed was better than not having enough.
If you can afford the extra 50 bucks, the 16g is a no-brainer. If you can't then should you really be spending $225(shipped) on a toy to begin with? Probably not

If you can afford it get the 16. Having said that I have never used more than 5 or 6 on any of the devices I have owned, I pads, playbooks, transformer prime, xoom, gtab ...

Down 4GB of space and I haven't even finished downloading all my games yet... For me the 16 GB was a no brainer - nothing worse then having to pick and choose what you can take with you. On the other hand, if I buy one for my parents I'll probably go with the 8GB model.
i would just...
1. Root
2. Download stickmount (free)
3. Buy an OTG adapter
Then download 30-50 movies onto a thumb drive, my whole music collection on another thumb drive.
Then plugin whatever one i wanted to use. No need to transfer files.. its like an external drive i can view or listen from.. even if no wifi is around..
I don't think alot of people understand what an OTG cable is here or something..

I don't think 8GB is enougth even for a phone... I have the 16GB version just because it's the top of todays models, but I don't think 16GB is a good storage space for a tablet. OTG isn't the same thing of having larger internal memory.

For me, OTG worked out of the box for pen drives and even for the Xbox joypad. I tested without even rooting the device and it works. It's a good alternative to have...
You don't just get more space with the 16GB, I think I heard the drive access speeds are even faster due to a different chip in use, but I could be wrong.

My 10.1" tablet has 80gb total storage, and it's full. I'm constantly rotating things in and out of the memory card. I leave the 16gb internal for apps and downloads and it's always within a gig or so of being full.
My Nexus 7 is not my main tablet. With 16gb and the fact wifi is not everywhere, it can't be.
The 8gb is more then sufficient for usage for normal use. But once you start throwing PlayStation roms and Nandroids, it might be limiting.
No big deal and there is always OTG and cloud storage. I stopped keeping music with me with Pandora and other streaming music apps. As long as you don't do anything crazy, the 8gb will work just fine.
Me personally, I'd rather just spend the cash just so I don't have to worry about it.

I bought an 8 GB for my 6 year old son to upgrade from a crappy Chinese android tablet. How ever it works out we will just deal with the 8gb internal memory.
I do also realize some of the games will really eat up some space. Question is can these games be run of a OTG flash drive? Can they be moved over to it and it work ok.
Cool thing is I have the tablet connected to a share on my nas which has lots of his movies and that work well. That old tablet could never do this. There were so many apps that were not compatible.

My six year old has an A200. She uses it a lot and has started asking me about using the OS in more detail. More than just an expensive game machine. And I let my four year old use my KF since I got the N7, but he still prefers my old gen 1 iPod Touch that he has been using since he turned 3. He plugs it in and keeps it charged up and everything. You'd be surprised how responsible they can be when they know it is a privilege.
It's 50 bucks more for storage and a lot less headaches, it's worth it to me.
For some of us that prefer to buy these at retail stores so as to not deal with the headache of going to Google to return defective Nexus 7's, it's not really a choice. I'd gladly pay the extra $50 for the opportunity to exchange in person as needed, and I did already have to do so.
Actually its only like 20 bucks more because apparently the 16GB has no tax or shipping charges. I wish i bought the 16GB model, 1 HD game and a nandroid backup, and the device feels full
Really wish I had the 16GB model. No wifi in the car so i can only hold a little music at a time on the tablet :/

LG nexus 4
Memory Card slot No
Internal 8/16 GB storage, 2 GB RAM
other specs are appealing.. but then Note 2 has the same and No Spen .... no way
i cant live with that.. too less of storage
Nexus 4 looks really awesome but the major disadvantage is that it doesnt have a memory card slot and has just 8/16gb internal storage(no 32gb)
If the storage capacity is not a problem,then i suggest you go with nexus 4

Disadvantages of Nexus 4:
1) No external memory card slot
2) Non-removable battery (u cant use extended battery if you want)
3) 2100mAh battery is too less for such a powerful phone
4) No S-pen
So, a used Note 1 wins in my opinion..
If the battery is non-removeable then u should buy note 1...

I strongly disagree mister. You need to use a nexus device to decide whether its crappy or not.
Fast software update (no need to wait months like sammy users do)
Wireless charging
$300 phone --2GB ram, S4 Snapdragon CPU
I personally have a 32GB micro SD card and still have 19GB free (I have movies, songs, enormous amount of pics)
I have 2 extra samsung batteries (but I never use them, although I watch 3hrs movie every day+plus chatting, music).
People need to sit down and think/analize what they're going to use their phone for. Ask yourself, do you really need an extra battery? Are you a heavy user? Do you currently carry a spare battery in your pocket?
External battery charger can be very useful during travel
Memory can be handled by usb OTG or cloud storage. I personally have a lot of useless crap in my phone that I dont even use nowadays.
So no, it's not crappy IMHO.
I have a 32gb micro SD and I have only 5gb free. 8 or 16 gb is really small particularly if you play big games like six guns or modern combat. The small storage size is really a problem for me.

I think the nexus 4 is serious contender with the specs on offer with this device. I know it's the only device that would tempt me away from Samsung phones. Downside it is made by lg but looking at the reviews and specs of lg optimus g (from which nexus 4 is coming from) is very appealing for me a must say.

I think the Nexus 4 is a really good deal. For $350 you're getting the most out of Android. If I didn't buy my Note a month ago, I would have most definitely gotten the Nexus 4.
If you need more than 16gb of space, you can always get the 16gb phone, which is more than enough for apps and games. For extra storage, use Dropbox (2gb free), Google Drive (5gb free), and SkyDrive (7gb free). Both have apps that work perfectly on Android.
If you want even more space, do all the dropbox referrals using virtual machines. Each referral will earn you 500mb, for up to a limit of 16gb. Which means you only need to do this 32 times to get the free 16gb.
You can also use the camera upload feature to earn 3gb for free.
For even more space, you can earn a couple of gb from doing the "Simple Tasks" (which is a dropbox getting started guide).
If you're a university student, right now there's an event called the Great Space Race (the more students from your school is using dropbox, the more space you get) that earns you up to 25gb for up to two years (you'll probably be using a different phone after two years, and in 2015, phones are probably gonna have 32gb/64gb base).
I use both of these services on my 16gb Note with no SD card. I earned all possible free storage on dropbox and now I'm running on 39.88gb cloud storage. All my music and videos is stored in the cloud which is convenient.

What you're expressing is kind of pointless, there's a limit to external storage in cloud terms muchly based on size and compatibility.. There is no reasonable chance that anyone would transfer a movie over cloud, just not data forgivable yet. It's fine for small programme info and data, but not for big apps transfers or movie files, until 4G of course.

Do you mean a file size limit? If so, I haven't had a problem with that with Dropbox. I've uploaded 13gb HD mkv movies with no problem. with almost 40gb of free storage I have no problems with storing data. I agree that transfering the files and then listen/watch is time consuming. Sometimes you won't even have enough space on your phone to store the temporary files. That's why I always stream off the cloud and even on 3G speeds, streaming an HD movie is no problem.
Data limits.... expensive plans. You don't always have Access to stream like airplanes. It doesn't help with games either. To me there is no excuse to lose features on newer phones. My vote goes for Note
Sent from the Mighty Note International!
As long as you're on an unlimited data plan there's nothing to worry about. That said, I agree that lack of a memory card slot is inconvenient, but maybe Google's trying to promote their Google Drive? I don't like SD cards because it's confusing where everything belongs. Anyway I love the idea of cloud storage and I'm probably biased to it. Both phone are good choices, but if I were to choose one, I'd go for the Nexus 4.
Same thing explained here, but for for me memory card slot is important until & unless they provide 64 or 128GB on device
I have 64gb microSD and it is more than half full synced with my Dropbox files for areas without data reception.
Internal memory is required for apps, some have large space requirements.
So.... It depends on your usage.

For all of you guys complaining about lack of storage, if it's that much of an issue, you can just use MicroSD or USB OTG. (At least when it is available for 4.2, which with the dev community it should be in no time) Keep a connector on your keychain or something along those lines.
I think everyone wants to know one if literally anyone would get the 8gb if so why, and if you are getting 16gb why as well.

Are You Getting the 16GB or 8GB
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Sorry
The 8GB would be lighter than the 16GB right? If yes, i'd go for the 8GB

You're joking, right?
For 50 bucks 16gb is the clear winner

I'm going for the 2TB version. That way I can fill it up with all the music that I'll never listen to in my lifetime!
Yeah 16 GB version will weigh to much. Lol

I'm getting the 8gb. I use Google they way they want me to: Google Music, Google Drive, stream movies and tv shows, and I'm not much of a phone gamer, so I only have about 300mb in apps. If I want to have music offline, I just choose my playlists for on device music in Google Play. Plus, I remove a bunch of useless system apps that frees up my device even more and the rom usually only totals out to be 150-200mb. If I want to save a couple movies on my phone, standard movies usually are about 300-700mb.
16 gig. 8 gig is too low for me. You will rely too much on mobile net and clouds if you will be getting 8 gig.
Why not 32 at the same price?
I don't understand why to do the 8GB..
Is useless..

I ordered an OTG multi card reader to dump off useless games and pictures , that way i can manage 16gb better
All my Samsungs have a MicroSD card that goes unused, and 16GB that sits a quarter full. 16GB is overkill. It's a phone FFS. I'm getting the 8GB because it's way more than enough.
8gb folks should rethink this. The Nexus 7 8gb was slower because it used cheaper slow memory. Apparently the Asus Vivo Windows RT tablet is slower than the surface too despite using the exact same internals and software.
That is Asus though. I don't think LG is as sketchy as Asus and Acer but just something to keep in mind.
16gb also ups your resale value quite a bit. So that in a year or two you decide that you really need LTE, you have a wider range of potential customers, customers that need 16gb.

Realistically need 8gb, but will buy 16gb because I plan to use it for 2 years instead of 1 and take a lot more pictures and videos this time, since the phone is fast enough to do that.
I deleted quite a bit... and don't have many apps downloaded. It's possible to have the 8 GB if you're like me lol. Videos and pics of my 2.5 year old daughter plus ROM downloads/ nandroids make up the bulk of it.

I just wanted to know for everyone that's pretty active in the rooting community which version do they have? I know Im sure I will be ok with the 32GB version since all my music is streamed and pics are backed up on Google. Just curious.

That will depend on how many backups you make and keep with TWRP. They will eat up storage quickly.
Mine is a 64GB N6.
I had to do Factory Data Reset after updating from 5.0 to 5.1 because only 32GB was visible under Total space.
That's the only negative consequence of owning 64GB, besides the price of course.
i plan on going with the 32GB version since i might buy it right from verizon to avoid the hassles of activating it, the phone not showing up right on my account, etc... I've noticed most TWRP backups are between 3-4GB and I only keep 1 backup at a time currently so I dont mind giving that up. plus i only really use the backups when I'm flashing a new rom or doing something that might break it. once whatever change ive done works and I'm golden i usually delete the backup. I always keep a copy of the ROM im using on the phone so if something does happen by any weird chance I'll just wipe and start fresh. most of my stuff backs up to the cloud anyways
64 for me. I sync my backups right off, but having titanium there all the time and the flexibility for me, the small price increase is well worth it.
64gb here also.
64 also here! Like availability if required and someday resale value.
I have the 32GB and I store most of my stuff on an OTG drive.
I'm getting by on 32 just fine. I listen to a lot of music but don't play games which can take up a lot of space. I also manage backups basically the same way you do.
Yeah I think im going to roll with the 64GB just because I am purchasing on off of Swappa and they are priced really well for brand new units.
Being some jackass decided to remove the sd card feature..I was forced to get the 64..

Hahaha true...
Last two nailed it. Always get the biggest when expansion is impossible.
Rockin 64gb too. Love having the extra space when i copy movies to it for a road trip or killing time.

I use 32gb, I store all of my music locally as I live in NYC and cloud music isn't reliable for me as I go underground and don't have any service there.
I still have a lot of space left on my phone, roughly about 4 gb and am pretty happy with it. It should be noted I have about 2 nandroid backup on my phone right now.

I bought the 64GB version even though it meant waiting longer to get. Definitely glad I did since I can never have enough storage. I would have bought a 128GB version if one was available.
Have the 32gb, as well. I copy my TWRP backups to my USB-OTG and my computer so I don't lose the storage on board.

Yeah, Im new to nexus, but noticing a trend in android moving away from ext sd cards. I think the s6 doesn't have one either, but at least they have a 128 gig one. I surely woulda bought that one as well.
