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.
I'd like to know as well what clouds you like best etc..

Are You Getting the 16GB or 8GB

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.
http://www.anandtech.com/show/6130/the-16gb-nexus-7-storage-performance
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 find this to be a step backward. I'm not sure why a phone OEM would offer a storage option on a previous model and then not offer it on the newer one. Yes, I know it came to the Moto X (2013) later, but what's the point in doing that now? Honestly, I'd buy this phone immediately with 64gbs of storage or a microSD, but with 32gb of non-expandable storage, I'll really have to think about it. It is disappointing, though, considering it seems like it's otherwise a perfect phone (for me, at least).
64 gb didn't come out till a few months later on original X as well. In all honesty the majority of people are using cloud based services so 32 gb is more than enough for most

The 64gb came out 9 months later. And I took it as Moto committing to that storage option for future options. Apparently I was wrong. I could probably deal with 32gb because I go to a university and have internet access all the time, but I'm still worried about going backwards again from around 96gbs of storage that I have on my current phone.

It all depends on how much cloud you use. For me all my pics,music etc are in the cloud so out of my 32gb I'm only using about 8 for other stuff so I'll be OK with 32
True. I made it with a Nexus 5 for a couple months and that's when I didn't have unadulterated internet access, so I think I could do it now. I still wish I didn't have to, though, but I guess you can't have everything.
Guess its what's most important to you
One of the main reasons I have not put in a pre-order. I hope 64 GB becomes an option within the first 30 days...
32 is enough but I wouldn't mind paying another 20~50 for 64 ~ 128. Does the new x carry the same Google drive space promotion?
My biggest disappointment with the new Moto X is the lack of a 64 GB version (128 would be even better).
There are still people who do not use cloud based storage.
I am currently on a nexus 4. I had this for a few years and never had an issue with storage. I kept it light since it only had 16gbs. i had a oneplus one for a little while and used about 15gbs for games, music and all that. Now i ordered a nexus 6 on 11/5 from the google play store a 32 blue. I was aiming for the 64 but thought if i didn't get the 32 i wouldn't get a phone at all. So i nabbed it real quick. Now I am still debating over getting the extra storage. I managed on my nexus 4 but the extra space just seems nice. What made you choose the one you chose?
You do know that the Nexus 4 were 8 & 16GB devices, right?
I thought the Nexus 4 only came in 8 and 16gb variants. I've had an 8gb nexus 4 that I've been using for the past 18 months. Once you get past the space reserved for the system usage, I get 5.67gb of available space. I'd say I ran out of space for music and videos and stuff about 6 months ago and I've been resorting to dropbox, google drive, streaming and the like to keep myself entertained.
This time i went with the 64gb because I'd like to not worry about running out of space. 32gb sounds sufficient now, but in 24 months it probably won't be. Also going from $299 for 8gb to $349 for 16gb seemed like a lot of extra money for a little extra storage space, but going from $649 to $699 is like a drop in the bucket by comparison.
The nexus 4 was only sold in 8/16 GB models. Not 32GB. However, I ordered a 64gb because i always error on the side of caution and would rather pay a little more now then realize i need more storage down the road and not be able to do anything about it. Plus I hear the new run time uses about twice as much space for apps because of the cache.
64gb minimum.
I'd personally like 128gb.
32gb or less is pants in this day and age.
My last 2 phones have been 32 and I have never had a problem but I'm not one to keep useless Crap on my phone either. I don't play games. I always go through my pictures and delete bad or useless photos. How much damn music can u listen to. I mean really, people put 10gb of music on their phone and probably never listen to 98% of it. With all that said I like to go ever board on most things so I would have gotten the 64gb if I had the option at the time but for me 32gb will do just fine and I can spend the money saved on ammo.

256 ~ 384GB.
Loseless musics and RAW pictures and 2K resolution videos need large enough space of storage

I have 50gb of music on my Note 4 - All Wav Full size - Whether I listen to it is irrelevant, 64gb should be minimum.
Google need to get their act together or put a micro sd slot in their phones
I'd be fine with an 16gb device, so 32gb will do just fine.
32gb is ok for me as I dont put a lot of music on or vids, mostly stream content, but if they offered it in USB3 i would get 64gb so I could use it to transfer data and a portable hdd. Otherwise it takes ages to transfer stuff
I own 16GB Nexus 5 and it has 4GB free available.
But, that's because I don't install games, only 1. And I don't store music / video in it.
With Nexus 6, I plan to get the 64GB, although 32GB would be enough.
Why 64GB? Think about 4K videos, that might be cool, no? And that requires more space. Also 13 MP photos compared to 8 MP of Nexus 5, more space needed.
Lastly, because I intent to keep this "expensive" device for at least 2 years .... 64GB is more preferred!

I agree. I wish companies would start offering 128 options or even 256. How hard is it to even offer that much storage?
I've never even used the full 8 on my N4. I'm good with 32.

Ask Apple, since their 128GB iP6 models are suffering HW issues currently.

This is the thing. I'm considering going for the 64 again. It just feels nice to know you do not have to worry about space at all. I plan on putting games on my device because it seems perfect for gaming. 4k video does take a lot of space, so i am not sure what to do. I could have ordered a 64 from motorola but hesitated lol.
I"m one of those who was sad to see Google abolish the SD card from the Nexus devices, and was torn between getting a phone with bloat, but expandable storage, or a clean phone with no such abilities. I ultimately went for the latter, and was really worried that 32GB wouldn't be enough. In reality though, 32GB has proven more than enough. I'm sure I'll never even come close to filling it up, short of stuffing a lot of HD movies in there.
That said... I ordered the 64GB version of the Nexus 6, basically, for no other reason than I felt if I was willing to shell out $650 for a 32GB device, I might as well spend the other $50 for double the storage. Had that model been $100 more, I'm sure I'd have stuck with the 32GB phone and been fine. I guess we all have our lines in the sand.

LOL. You're using the fruit company as an example why not to use big storage?
Last I checked, the 256 GB SSD I have in my laptop was purring along quite happily, no issues at all.
You can't use one bad implementation as an example why something is globally a bad idea. In fact, you should probably assume that the problems apple is having, is either related to their specific chip supplier, or a flaw in the storage format they use. Note that the fruit company uses their HFS storage format, which may not be well tested on 128 GB flash media, and is used exclusively on a subset of consumer devices. Android uses EXT4, which is very well tested on 128 GB flash media, and deployed on things like SERVERS all around the world, proven very robust.

^^ That.
Given the difference of $50 and the *lack of an MMC slot*, I consider it a no-brainer to get the big one. If you ever end up *needing* the space, you will be kicking yourself for buying the small one.
Being a crack flasher, I need MOAR storage. 64 GB should be fine for me.
I went with the 32 since I stream music and don't watch movies on my phone
32 also, cuz Drop Box is my fav app lol and I also stream music. Plust if I download a movie or an episde of a tv show I delete after watching it.
I got 64 cuz backups are like 6 to 8 gigs each. I alway keep a backup of stock and then 1 or 2 custom roms. Those back ups add up.
128 because I wanted to watch everyone else get their phones first
I got the 32 because it was expensive enough and I use a plug usb to do everything else which is a 64GB so that makes up for less internal.
32 cuz I'm poor. Working on setting up wifi backup.
64. A crap ton of photos of the kids. Plus I take a ton anyway. So I need the space.

64GB, It's only been 4 days and I already used up half of it lol. ~10GB was for the system, the rest was me.
32 because I use Internet stuffs and am around wifi. Also have the USB OTG
64GB because the System itself already takes up 10GB. So getting a 32GB would only leave me around 20GB. I already came from a 32GB device that didn't have a SD card slot, and I was always low. So I had to step up. The 64GB version has 50GB free Out the box. That's sounds much better than 20GB.
64GB. I stream music and all of my pictures are on auto backup to the cloud, so I could've gotten by with 32GB. I just went with the 64GB so I don't need to worry about storage at all.

Just picked up my 32gb white s6 loving it so far
32
Yeah I got the 32gb I use google music and have all my photos
On google plus that has about 115gb on my drive so I think I'm safe
I love this phone BTW
I have 1tb on one drive xD
I love gaming and lossless music, so the 128GB option would restrict me the least. Totally would have spent another $100 for a 256GB model.
64gb. One drive and Google Drive.
Hey guys I was wondering what is a good choice of memory to get. I'm thinking on getting the 32 gb but Im afraid of running out of space any suggestions?

64 gb for sure. Don't even hesitate. [emoji4]
With no support for external sd cards always get the largest available space you can afford.
64gb.. it is too plenty...
Depends on what you will store on it. I have had my device now for a few months and still have 16 gb left.
I bought a 32 gb and found I had to be cautious when backing up etc. but, its manageable. I bought myself a usb otb microsd card reader for doing backups and storing large files to rectify that though.
I bought 32GB and I didnt even notice I had which one I had after awhile. Music: Spotify, Photos: Google Photos, Videos: Youtube, Game: Clash of Clans ONLY! Hahahahaha.
When no internet coverage, I just live with it, without any local storage, taking pictures or do something else.
While travelling, I only use my phones for Whatsapp/Telegram and taking pictures so I 'm good.
Of course those are my usage, if you need movies/musics while travelling go with 64GB.
