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.
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
The subject says it all. I want to move files around pretty rapidly as well as use it for apps. Not looking for "it won't make a difference" posts. I just want to know the technical fact
technical fact. That phone is crap.

I researched this one on our device specification database and this is all I can tell you for certain -- Motorola Mobility "recommends" that you use a UHS-1 type card. However, specifications also state that up to 128GB external storage is supported, but I can confirm that a 400GB microSD card functions completely normal in the E5 Plus. Wish I could tell you more on UHS-2 support, but all I know for sure is the recommended UHS-1 type.
Benchmarks for the Moto E5 Plus are listed at substantially above average. The Snapdragon 425 performs very well in this device, and at minimal power consumption overall. With its 3GB RAM and dedicated Adreno 308 GPU, the E5 Plus is fast and can multitask without lag. Based on benchmarking stats and its more than adequate RAM, I would assume that UHS-1 would not disappoint. But, it is an assumption, albeit based on specs and performance stats.
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.
Hello guys, please tell which of this two versions you've got and why.
Does it mather to pay about +-50 more to get the 128GB version instead of 64GB, if just the storage size changes?

Well sadly no expandable storage which sucks, so get 128gb if you can. Personally I have 64gb because thats the only version available at Amazon.
I depends on your usage, how much space do you use on your current phone?
I had less than 20gb left on my 64gb Mi A2, and now, i have 73 gb left on my 128gb Mi 9, if i had the 64gb version, i would have only 9gb left. You also need to think about your space for 2 years from now, and also for the resell value.
I bought the 128gb and I don't know why. 64GB would be enough.
Buying the 64GB here. Even with Netflix downloads, a few GB games and tons of photos., I’m hoovering at 20 GB free space after a year and a half. Google Photos saves a lot of space and unlimeted cloud storage in a decent enough quality.

Running 32GB internal + 64GB external, but most is on external SD btw. I have some OTG C to use too.
128g here! the way i look at it rather have too much than not enough haha
I have 6GB/128GB because the Mi 9 has no external storage
I have the Mi 9 because Belsimpel (dutch shop) only has the 128GB version in blue.
I wanted the 128gb version but it was out of my budget (was way overpriced too). So i went with the 64gb and to be honest i'm gonna miss my 128gb i had with my redmi note 4 as external storage ... but oh well at least i can sell it and get some money back out of it. c:
I have 6/64 and for me it is ok.
I don't need many space in mobile phone, just some gb for mp3 to listen in can via bluetooth.
If better 64 o 128 gb depend of your own use of mobile phone.
bought the 128gb version myself as the price i got on it was quite cheap but 64 one would have been just fine too (as i had a 32gb s7 edge previously with 32gb sdcard)
256GB, the more the merrier
Do note that the storage speed differs quite a bit between the two versions. The 128GB one has faster sequential reads (almost 800MB/s, compared to 620-690 the 64GB one gets) while the 64GB one has almost twice as fast seq write speeds (about 390MB/s compared to 180-ish the 128GB one gets). The other parameters are usually in line, they also tend to differ between ROM versions on the global dev I've been running until now.
My current phone is the LG V10 so I went with the 8/128. I don't like buying phones so I wanted to make sure this one lasts as long as possible.
Noticed that no-one is mentioning how much space you do actually get after turning the phone for the first time. I have see somewhere that 128g version has 117g free. Is this true?

Yup. I just roughly calculated it and I got 116,88gb. Don't remember the exact value.
Try get 128. But only if you use your camera often (specially video). I bought 64gb and now only my gallery take 15GB. 4min video from some event takes 1, 2GB. So let's think before.
I got the 64gb because the 128gb was too expensive when I ordered it. I use Google Photos so no storage space used for photos on my phone and it's free. Thanks whoever posted the RAM speed differences. I was unaware. I wonder if the 256gb has faster speeds?
Just before I purchased the phone, I changed my mind and went for 64gb version.
My previous phone had 64gb storage and 64gb SD card, and I was using around 100gb of the total.
On the way to the shop I had a little cleaning, and checked the files on my SD card and it turned out almost all is useless and I just keep it on my phone (I had 2 year old TWRP backups, many custom ROMs and mods that I don't need and use etc)
Same apps and similar amount of downloads (on Netflix, Spotify, Photos etc) and I have 30gb free on my 64gb Mi 9. So, I don't think 128gb is necessary for a regular user.
Now, I can use the 50 euros I saved, in buying a 20W wireless charger and a power-bank.
