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.

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.
Hi,
Just wanted to discuss, as I'm curious about the opinion of people here, especially those (But not limited to) who are getting an Nexus phone which has obviously no SD card slot;
Had an Optimus One from 2011 to 2014 as my first phone and then switched to Galaxy S4. Sometimes I thought maybe I could have gotten a Nexus, or not sure, maybe a Nexus could be my next phone, or even a Sony (I like my S4. But when I got it, I didn't knew about KNOX haha. I'd rather not support Samsung in the long run with their KNOX flag I guess).
The lack of an SD card slot always drove me away from Nexus phones (Except Nexus One, which I did considered long ago), although it's true that Nexus phones look pretty amazing. How did you guys (Not limited to Nexus) chose a Nexus, not fearing that you might end up lacking storage at some point? I used to store Dreamcast ROMs in my SD card, and played around with Dolphin emulator for a while, these are quite huge files, and if you put movies in the phone too haha, space can run out pretty quick.
I have the 16GB variant of the S4 along with a 32GB microSD card (External SD close to full. Might upgrade to 64 eventually) - My 32GB card is close to full, so obviously a 32GB phone with no SD is a big no-no. 64GB would be the bare minimum, considered that storage space would be splitted between the user data (/Data/Media) and the /Data partition itself for app storage, also not forgetting the /System partition, I might even get tight on storage on a 64GB phone. So the wisest choice would be to get a 128GB version which is costly anyway.
I discussed about my point/needs myself, altough I'm especially curious, while I will have to say goodbye to SD cards slot at some point anyway, some people here did chose recent phones with lack of SD support without any fear of lacking storage (Which unfortunately drive me away from Nexus, but might consider a 128GB variant).
How is the lack of an SD card slot not a deal-breaker to you, and worth all the other features, guys?
Thank you for reading.
The tough question. I was hoping to see good answers, but I think some might shy away from it. My wife has the 2013 Moto X, and it doesn't have a memory card. Worse, it's capped at 16GB. She has a couple games, but she's put a bunch of anime episodes on it. And been unable to update apps or take OTAs (she runs everything all stock) due to not having enough size. And that really sucks.
I personally will not use a smartphone without a microSD card slot unless it has 128GB or more. That's my new rule. My HTC One M8 has 32 internal and a 64GB memory card. 64GB alone would not be enough. 96 is fine. 128 would be sweet. I can go up to 128GB in the M8, and have 160GB, and that's beastly, but unnecessary.
There are now wireless flash drives, but they aren't cheap. You can get a 64GB WiFi flash drive on Amazon for about $50. I'm guessing it's an AP and works as a NAS, but I'm not really familiar with these things. But I'm betting it's easy to set up, and almost certain more than one device can access it. So there's an advantage, but then again it would also need to be charged.
If you wanna go with truly external (i.e. outside the phone) just get a portable hard drive. I only recommend Western Digital. The WD My Passport is around $60 for 1TB and $100 for 2TB. I have the old 500GB model and it's great. Actually running Portable Chrome off it right now on a Windows machine that isn't mine. I'm not trying to be sneaky or anything, I'm transparent with my hosts with what I'm doing, but it's nice to have my own bookmarks, extensions, all that good stuff. I can't imagine having 2TB. These things are small. Shorter than a smartphone but wider. Definitely pocketable, but you should be careful, they are not solid state, they have platters. Anyway, get a USB OTG cable, and you have to be rooted with Nexus to do this (HTC One M8 just does it), and you plug in the drive and bam, that's 500GB or 1TB or 2TB your phone can use. Drains battery like a ************, again spinning platters. So, best to copy the media files over that you want to use, and then unmount the drive (before unplugging it).
I feel, as a smartphone guy, the kit doesn't include just the phone. For me, I have a 2A charger base and cord (this is also my data cable), and a 10,000mAh battery and its cord (which doesn't work for data). I have a Quick Charger at home, really should swap it out for the 2A. And I carry the 500GB hard drive most places. Oh, and I also have a 64GB phone flash drive. I almost didn't mention this, but I have a flash drive that plugs into the base of a phone. It won't work with the 2015 Nexus phones because they're Type C, and it doesn't work with a lot of phones. My wife's 2013 Moto X for instance, can't read it. My M8 can. Got that for about $20. So that's in my kit as well, in a pouch with my Bluetooth earpiece.
Bottom line is, a microSD card slot is a luxury. It's nice to have, and it's damn cheap of Google to skimp on it (can they really cost Google that much?), but we have options.
I am having a smart phone with 32 GB. It is enough for me. So I am not facing any problem without SD card slot.
I currently have an Nexus 6 with 32GB storage.
For me, it is pretty much enough storage. I would probably get a 64 next time, but 32 does OK. The only thing that takes up any real space is TWRP backups (6GB each) and the MyBackup apps backups.
I guess I don't need as much storage as you and some people, and I don't know what you guys are needing 128GB storage for. For music I use Spotify. Even with my main playlists downloaded for offline play it's not that much space, I think they have an amazing compression algorithm because it sounds legit in my bluetooth headphones. What else is taking up big storage?
I can Netflix stream anything I want, I also have the sling capabilities in my DISH service, so I stream live TV on my phone like college football or any movie I want. Unlimited LTE with T-Mobile is a life saver! (sometimes I use 50 or 80 GB of LTE streaming per month)
So I cannot imagine needing any more than 64, and if I didn't have multiple ROM backups ("regular' users don't of course) 32 would be more than enough.
Now of course I'd prefer the option of MicroSD, but the benefits of a Nexus outweigh that one drawback, so I stick with the Nexus line of phones, and do weekly backups of anything truly important.
edit: just to add, Google does not forgo the option because of cost to implement it, but because they believe onboard storage is more secure and plays nicer with the OS. Also, keep in mind they can charge more for more storage. No one would buy the 64GB variant if the 16GB had a micro SD slot. Same concept as Apple I guess...
Oh hell no. If it doesn't have a MicroSD slot, I have no use for it... I've got a 128GB MicroSD and 32GB internal filled to the brim.
And I'm moderately screwed now, because I have 10MB free, and I need to put at at least 2 more seasons of 5GB each on there soon.... Bugger. That 256GB one out yet?

Everything.
Streaming is completely useless if you leave your house every once in a while.
And particularly useless if you live on a border. I can see the German border from my attic window, how stable do you think my network here is?
This is the average Dutch network on public transport once you leave the Randstad (main area with 4 largest cities, on the other side of the country):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I'm on public transport 6 hours a day. Good luck streaming on that.
Then there's the problem that there is no such thing as unlimited high speed data in the Netherlands. 12GB is the largest data subscription, and I can't afford to pay 60 quid a month. I've got 6GB.
I streamed part of the 8 o'clock news over 4G last week. (Horizon Go app). Those 5 minutes cost me 102MB. I've got 6GB, so that's a total of 5 hours that I can stream.
I can't even make it ONE DAY if I stream video. How can anyone consider that a solution? I require a total of almost 120 hours a month, not 5....
And then there's the fact that most of this isn't even available on streaming services. Netflix Netherlands has about 2% of what Netflix USA has. Supernatural? Nope. Doctor Who s9? Nope. Sherlock S3? Nope. Lord of the Rings Extended? Nope. Any Within Temptation or Blind Guardian concerts? Nope. Firefly? Nope. Person of Interest S4? Nope. Just to name a few.
If I have to rely on streaming to watch anything, I'll be staring at the ceiling for 6 hours a day. Not exactly my favourite pastime in a crowded train. :silly: I'd go completely bonkers in a matter of minutes... :laugh:

thats why i have a device with sd slot. I need more than 32GB and i dont understand devices with 16gb without an sd slot
Well that's the difference then. I get at least 20 to 60 Gbps down everywhere I go, and I get unlimited LTE, so honestly I just don't need one...all depends on your situation I guess..
I have a Moto G (XT1032) with only 8GB storage but I've bought an OTG USB to add more memory. In its I've only songs.

If I were you, I would compress these videos or lower the resolution just a little haha - So that it would remains enjoyable anyway, but some people don't like to destroy quality/resolution even a bit (So if you would happen to watch on your TV, for instance).
Wanted to let you know that there IS a 200 GB microSD availible since the beginning of 2015, although it's obviously really expensive (Yeah, 200 GB, not 256. Read that SanDisk had to use new techniques again to fit more storage on them, and they were unsucessful in reaching 256GB, but released the 200GB anyway to answer the high demand for more storage space).

Absolutely true, that price is insane (For now), haha
My OnePlus One has 64gb, and I've found it to be plenty. I'm saving up for a 64gb Nexus 6 (old one). Obviously, I'd prefer a microSD slot, but 64gb gives me enough space. My Galaxy S4 has 16gb (less than 10 usable) and a 64gb card, which is also plenty, especially since I have several cards. My Nexus 4 16gb however...there's barely enough room for my standard apps, a game or 2, and a TWRP back-up.
Well, my phone is 16 GB and I think it is already enough for me. I rarely store files in my phone. So I am not facing any problem without SD card slot too.:cyclops:

Why do you keep everything on the phone? You don't need a complete series of something that's 200 hours long, especially not after you've watched it. I'm assuming you have all these video files on a PC somewhere and you manually copy them to the phone, so why not just clean up every now and then and delete what you've watched?

Two main reasons:
One, I'm not always able to access a computer to put new media on there, leading directly to Two: Because I rewatch them often. I've got a total of about 6TB of films and series to swap around, these are just the ones I leave on there. In particular the Sherlock and Supernatural seasons, those I watch so often it's simpler to just leave them on.
The problem is that a 32GB internal memory that has to share the space with apps, music, photo's and magazines isn't anywhere near enough to store 3 hours of videos, let alone 6 hours a day.
I'm not going to spend an hour every day swapping videos just because I didn't think ahead before I spend 800 euro/1300 dollar on a device that doesn't suit my needs. I've got more things to do... Now I've got enough space to last a week before I need to swap.
If these phones were 100 quid, sure. But not something that costs that much. I'm not going to change my needs to suit a tool.
I have an s4 32 GB
And its enough for me at least?
My previous phone was an HTC One X+ (64gb nonremovable) and it was more than enough for me.
I'm hoping for Marshmallow's new int+ext "RAID" for my G4, but since I'm on a carrier phone, who knows? ;(

Can you record videos directly to the sdcard? Is there any real disadvantage to just getting the 128 and buying a 512 sdcard?
Read/Write operations executed from portable storage will generally fail to compare to UFS/NVME. Onboard storage is on a completely different level. What's more, we don't know how fast the SD card reader is yet. Notebookcheck normally runs IO benchmarks.

I usually don't need much storage and I go for lower 128GB model, but if I need more storage later, than I can buy a fast SD Card and enjoy added storage. Added storage in my case would only be used for multimedia consumption such as mp3, photos and videos. If you buy a nice SD Card, then you can record 4k videos on it as it would be pretty fast.
If I would go for 512GB model, but not use it down the read, then it means I have wasted $250 for nothing.

I wish there was a 512 ram version lol
I just record everything onto the onboard storage and just transfer to Micro SD after. No issues there for me.
