Hi guys,
Are there any benchmarks showing performance advantages to the 64GB model over the 32GB model? I will be replacing my 16GB att moto x 2014 with a 32GB (or 64GB) pure edition and was curious if anyone ran benchmarks providing any speed difference, at least in the read/write performance? I know with solid state drives usually the higher capacity drives have slight speed advantages, if there is no advantage I may just save and get the 32GB as I have BARELY gotten by with 16GB almost a year, the 32Gb will be perfect till I decide to upgrade to a 2015 moto x. I really like the 2015 X but the 2014 size seems perfect and Its very fast especially after the 5.1.0 update.
Thanks

I lost my nexus 4 about 8 months ago and havent had a android phone since then and deciding if 16 gigs is enough or if i should head to the 32 gig moto x
You will have 11gb of space to start of with 16gb version. Get the 32gb version.

I agree. I had a 16 gig demo X from Verizon (perk of my job) before purchasing one. The 11gig free on the 16gig model was not enough for my apps, music, pictures and taking video of my son when needed (rather than always carrying a digital camera with me too). I purchased a Dev Edition just so I could get a 32gig model (since it was the only way to get 32gig on VZW at the time).
It might cost a little more up front, but since there is no microSD slot, you can't add space later if you need it!!!
In the past people could justify by saying "if 16 isn't enough in the future should I need it, I'll just sell this on ebay/craigslist/etc and it will cover the cost of a new phone." But with Moto lowering the X's retail price like they have, you can't count on future resale value anymore.
it depends if you plan on storing a lot of apps, music, pics, and videos. If you don't do any of that, then the 16 gb version should be adequate.
Totally depends on the user. I only store about 3gb music on my phone and I don't really play games, so 16 is enough for me. But most seem to need 32.

This question will be different for everyone...kinda pointless asking others what's best for you.

I went with the 32 GB dev edition since I didn't think 16 GB was enough. My S4 has 16 GB internal and it's good for most things, except if you want to store a lot of HD games, a few nandroid backups and/or Google Music. If you don't like the color of the dev edition, you can swap the backs relatively easily, just search around here.

Looks like 4GB is the new standard on phones 2015 and forward. I will be opting in for the Galaxy Note 5 when it is released. Anyone else jumping to the Note 5?
if it is dual sim and removable battery never mind the memory card
i definetly wont switch for ram it worths nothing.
I want open a 2nd line with a different service provider, so I will be probably get the Note 5 in October
4GB RAM was a given, what I want is MicroSD slot, 5.9inch Display and 64GB built-in mem.
That's not confirmed. Don't listen to hear say until Samsung announce because hear say always leads to disappointment.
Tbh instead of adding 4 gb of ram they should optimize touchwiz UI & reduce ram usage. Also they should remove those unnecessary bloatware apps.

The only thing I want is for it to have a base of 64gb of storage and not the crappy 32gb.

Is ram issues fixed in this toy? XD
Nope. No sd card slot Or removable battery = no note 5. Samsung don't listen. They just seem to copy. I don't want a big s6 or an iPhone. All they are doing is killing the note.

It seems that internal storage is becoming the standard. Right or wrong, pretty soon all smartphones will only have it and no sd card slot.
Regardless, there are some awesome Android devices coming out soon.
2015 Moto X
2015 Nexus
Note 5
These are my top picks for what I'm looking at getting. We'll probably see the Note 5 first, then Moto X then the Nexus.
If you're looking to keep external storage, you'll have to sacrifice specs and go with either G4 or Note 4.
At least with Android, you can use a USB OTG cable for extra storage and moving files around such as pictures or videos or downloads.

I aont buying a note 5 if there is no sd card support and exchangeable battery.
Seriously guys, all the speculation has to stop....you're setting yourself up for disappointment. Nothing is confirmed until Samsung themselves announce.

I look at it as planning for the future.
Between the G5s Plus Special Edition and the regular G5s Plus.. My Special Edition is 5.5 4gb ram and 64 gig of storage.. I can't even seem to find a compatible case for the thing..
I have narrowed down my search to G6 and X4. Amazon has a deal on X4 for $200. So price-wise both the phones are the same, around $200. I assume both the phones have all the necessary bands needed for the USA.
I'm leaning towards X4 since it has a better processor. SDM630 vs SDM450. (Same ram & capacity 3GB/32GB) I don't play games on the phone. Just email, calendar, FaceBook, GMaps, Waze, CoPilot, for photos and videos. Some light web browsing. That's it.
G6 is just splash-resistant whereas X4 is IP68.
But then again G6 was released in 2018 and X4 was in 2017.
What phone would you recommend?
Thanks in advance!

I got both Amazon versions of both phones. I also had the G5 previously. The x4 was by far the worst of them. It's not as water resistant as it claimed and there was damage on the edges of the screen. The biggest problem though was the space. You could not have apps on SD on the x4, and it's not very long before you run out of space. I got the 64gb G6 and it's pretty awesome and you can write apps to SD.

Thanks for the reply.
So G6 internal memory can be expanded with an SD card, while in X4 SD card is just an external memory in which apps cannot be installed, right?
With my budget, I'm looking at the 32GB G6 and I have a 64GB SD card. So that should technically extend the memory. How much memory is used out of the box for the OS and default apps? If I get the 32GB will it have atleast 20GBs empty space?
Other than not being water-resistant, any other issues with the X4?

My system says that it uses 7.2gb for the system, but that maybe including installed/updated system software.
I'm going to be ditching my Samsung S7 Edge for a Moto G6 shortly. I can pick up the 32Gb / 3Gb version for $200, or get the 64Gb/4Gb from Amazon for $300. 32 G isn't enough storage, but I can pick up a 64 Gb or 128 Gb SD card for much less than the $100 difference in price. Is the jump from 3G -> 4G in RAM worth it? I'd also be getting all the Amazon apps preloaded - whether I want them or not. I'm thinking I'd be better off with the standard version, and just adding storage myself, but thought I'd see if there are reasons to go the other route.
