I'm holding out hope to see if there will be a release of the 32GB version of the S5. My HTC One X has been driving me crazy with bad battery life! I'm so ready to just buy the S5 but trying to be patient and wait out the 32GB model. Just curious if Anton DE else is waiting or if you're all just going for it?

Personally, I never felt the need for anything over 16gb. All my previous phones have been 16gb's and I never even came close to filling them up...and that was with music and pics on the internal storage. This time, I have a 32gb SD card for all of that...so I'm set. :good:
It all depends on your personal needs. I know those who were wanting the 32gb model were/are hoping it'll be released in the 2 week return time-frame, but I doubt it, unfortunately. It definitely does suck that they screw over those people.
I'm waiting. Thus will be my work phone, which means I have to buy through my company and can only get a new phone every 18 months.i want to make sure I have room for apps, mail, etc... My S3 only stays at about 1G free through regular pruning.
I just bought a 64GB memory card, problem solved. If I somehow use all that space I know the phone will support up to 128... so no use in waiting honestly and I didn't. Using my S5 now.

You do realize that the real reason most people wait is because apps really don't move to the SD card anymore right? That means your stuck with the 7 or 8 gigs you have on your phone no matter if you bought yourself a SD card or not for your apps and various other stuff that need to physically be on your phones memory.

Yup 16 gig is definitely not enough. 32 gig is decent but Samsung has so much features/bloat the phone only really comes with a limited amount of memory. I remember having the 32 gig s4 and even though it was 32 it still wasn't enough memory. I put a bunch of music on my phone.

The phone comes with 10.5 GB of memory on board. An SD card could hold all your pictures, music, documents, and even some apps. That's plenty of space on your phone for apps.

My thoughts exactly. The only reason I could see someone needing more space is for the big games...and maybe a select few of the bigger GPS apps. I never install any games, so that doesn't affect me and Google Maps works perfectly fine for me. Different strokes for different folks, though
If your in the same situation as me and do not have an upgrade available, then it's already expensive enough to get a 16. Much more cost effective to get 16 and ExSD.

Prices are all similar with the top phones. I'd also be interested in a GPE of the S5.
Or the new LG coming out later in summer, who knows, I have till August to end

Yessir, I am. I have a 32gb S4, so the S5 better come out with it at a minimum. I would love a 128gb internal...
When I got my S4 I waited for the 32Gb version. My 16Gb S3 almost always had the sdcard full and I would have to delete stuff sometimes for Roms and such to download. I personally would not go back to a 16Gb version.
My biggest reason is this. If you get root and put on a ROM (hopefully in the future) and want to have 1 nandroid backup then that backup is about 4+Gb's. Not everything works best when put on a a external sdcard , the read/write speeds are a hendrance even with a class 10 card. I do have to say that I did a lot of making themes and tearing apart Roms so I could theme them. So I would fill up my internal and external sdcard pretty fast. Let alone if I was putting movies and music on it as well. I personally am waiting for a T-Mobile S5 with 32Gb's...

FWIW, completely moved in with all my apps, and a couple new ones, 64 Gb SD card on board with media, and the 16 Gb device reports 9.17 Gb available internally (down from just under 11 Gb as shipped) and 31.08 Gb available on SD card.
I consider myself a median-to-light app installer, and I'm aggressive about uninstalling stuff I'm no longer using.
If you're someone who'se "phat" on apps then you'll want more, but for the rest of us I can't see how it's not livable with the SD card.
Brought my S5 back yesterday because I'm waiting for the 32Gb version (trying the M8 to pass away the time). I've been friends with the at&t mgr for couple years, he said AT&T will be getting the 32gb and a gold version...didn't say when though.
If the 32gb version doesn't come out in a couple weeks or so, I'll go back and get the 16gb. I'm just taking a chance that AT&T and company are pulling the same stunt with the S5 as they did with the S4.

I would have rather had a 32 GB than my 16. Once I load music and a couple movies its full.
I don't like having to watch the storage that close.

looks great finally google solved the storage issue only issue is that most people already have bought the 16gb varient and if this releases they are stuck with 16 gig unless they sell the 16gb and buy a 32gb version
I saw this like an hour ago and I would jump on this as soon as it is released. I got the 8 GB and after about a week I regretted not getting the 16 GB because 5 GB definitely isn't enough for backups and a lot of high definition games.
Oh my god, PLEASE be real!
They are real, some shops in my country are offering them for 30€ more than the 16gb version

Another website explained the Carphone Warehouse refers to the Samsung Nexus S as the "Samsung Nexus 2", I assume because it came after the Nexus One.
Personally, I would rather they made one model...an 8GB model at $199 with an SD Card... If these things sold as good as one would believe, that simple change would have made this thing sell twice as good (in my opinion).
Yea that would make sense but I read an article a week or so ago that explained why the Nexus devices don't have SD slots: its not because they're forcing us to use cloud storage its because they're trying to get rid of the two different locations for storage. There weren't chips big enough to add a crap load of storage until now (I believe Samsung just released their 64 GB chips). I wouldn't mind not having removable storage as long as there's like 32 or 64 GB worth.
Most likely this wont happen but it be pretty awesome if Google made it an option that you could send in your N7 to them and then they could update it for you for an extra 10-15 dollars to 32GB. I would be first in line to do this.

The memory is built-in right? Then theres no way that can happen because they would have to replace your whole motherboard.

Actually you could do this yourself if the only design change is the increased RAM.
The display is the most expensive part of the Nexus. If the form follows function of the 32GB, you'd simply purchase a repair MB for the 32GB model to put into your 8 or 16GB model.

Huh..,interesting.
I was of the mindset to wait for the 64GB handset, but it is almost mid January now with nary a notification that this elusive model is available.
Do you think I should wait it out? Or is 32GB plenty? I currently have a 16GB Nexus 2 with 32GB SD card. I routinely run out of space on the device (mostly DCIM pics + videos and TWRP backups / ROMs I want to test).
Thanks for your esteemed advice!
Drew
Nexus 2? What? Nexus devices don't have sdcards.
It all up to you on what you need, no one can tell you to wait for 64GB or get 32GB. Only you know what your usage is.
The 64GB is available, you just need to actually be there to get it when it becomes in stock.
As an alternative, you can get a USB flash drive and use USB OTG.
Wait for the 64gb model it's worth it. I don't use all of the space but this nice to have in case I need it.
I was asking myself the same question last month. In the end, i opted to switch to the 32 gig.
All of my music is streamed.
All of my pictures are backed up to a cloud. (Google Drive shows up in your Gallery of photos on the phone)
I delete any rom I am not using.
The only things I keep saved for TWRP (also backed up to a cloud) are my Stock Unrooted back up and a current back up of whatever Rom I am running.
I ditched the wait and took the 32 gig and have run into 0 problems.

Oh gotcha. In my opinion, 32GB is enough for me. But for you, not sure. It all depends on your usage.
If you plan on using the N6 in the long-run, 64GB can't hurt but then you'll be paying +$50 and more sales tax.
Theres alternatives to storing your stuff.. USB OTG, Cloud, etc. 32GB should be just fine, just see your usage on your current setup and determine it from there.
wait and get 64gb, 32gb is too small imo ,even 64 is small lol , 128gb would be fine! no need to mess with OTG sticking out and losing those small devices
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.

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.

Since the Tmobile Galaxy S6 has its priced reduced, I decided to finally jump from my S2 to the S6. Since the 64GB and the 128GB are the same price so it makes sense to just jump on that.
I am use to having an SD card so the question is what would be appropriate for me. I take a lot of photos and maybe play a game of the month or 2 occasionally. The only thing that takes up the most space is music since service with TMobile varies where I go. Music folder size varies from 5-10GB.
Any opinion helps. Thanks!

It is like having 2 refrigerators. Do you really NEED all the crap you store in the garage refrigerator? Some people do and some people don't. I have 64gb and it is plenty but if I had 128gb I would just have an over accumulation of nandroid backups that i will never need.

I just bought the 64GB version yesterday after going to 10 different stores. It seems no one stocks the 128GB version in stores it can only be ordered. I usually get the 32gb models and never fill them up.
I'm a storage nut. I have the 128gb version, very glad I chose it. Even if you don't use all the storage, resale value is something to think about. Just something to think about.

That being said I know they sell a 64GB Model instead of the 32GB but T-Mobile will have none of it. They say that's not an option and they only sell the 32GB. Pfffffff. I know it's out there but a quick search on eBay, Amazon even Craigs finds nothing
Anyone have any ideas where I can get one?? Last year I saw someone with it, using it, and it was custom themed with a rom and root on t-mobile. He got one and said they are hard to come by but are out there.

Ummmm why would I post something if I am not serious unless I put jkjk I am definitely not kidding.
32 GB does not hold all the apps that will install, so most must be moved to SD card (external SD) and that is a one by one process. Unless you know of a batch move or move all to SD where I can do them all with a few clicks instead of one by one then I really need the 64GB model
Samsung says they make it - chatted, emailed and called them but they say they do not have a dealer list of who sells them - but they have been making them a while now
so someone has to carry the 64GB model???
WHO? I have scoured the internet and found sh*t

Note 5 64GB is available for TMO
Have you called T-Mobile, or only asked in store? If it exists it probably was never available in store.
Trust me, the 32GB is enough. I have about 250 apps on my Note 5 and I am barely hitting 10GB of app storage usage. Also have a Note 4 with 32GB internal storage plus a 128GB microSD card in it and barely used the card. If you are into taking 4k video or wanting to put your movies on your phone, that's where more internal storage comes in handy. If not, then 32GB should be more than enough to do the job. As far as a 64GB note 4, Samsung only made a 32GB note 4, the only reason why they made a 64GB note 5 is to replace not having an microSD slot in it.
