More storage or NM Card - Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers

I'll be getting this phone in about 4 weeks. As I expect to keep it for at least 3 years, I was intending to get the 256 GB version. Unfortunately here where I live the price difference between the 128 and 256 GB versions is about €150.
Would you recommend spending the extra money on more inbuilt storage or will there be any disadvantages in using a Huawei NM Card? An 128 GB NM Card costs here only about a third of the cost of the same amount of inbuilt storage.

It all depends on your habits, what is your main use? Photos? Games? Music? Also, is your next device going to be a Huawei Device? I ask because the only reason I bought the 256gb Version and not a nanomemory card was because I dont think my next device is going to be Huawei and NM only works on Huawei Devices.
and is 128gb not enough? Is google cloud an option? You could get 100gb on google cloud for like 5 years with $150 or whatever it is in euros.

32 gb memory card for htc hd2

as u see my title i am looking for a memory card for my htc hd2 . which type of do i need to buy it and also i want to buy class 6 where can i find it and it has to be approximetly 50-60 paund.
thanks...
you going to be looking about £100 for a start
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=640218
Indeed, expect £100, release in April, class isn't announced yet but I guess it will be 2 or 4 max.
So you should be looking for 2x16GB instead.
whats the use of 2x 16gb when theres only one microsd slot?

I'm looking for a 1tb card, I've got about £3 is that okay?
someone get me one! Bah HTC will have to fix this... etc etc
I have a 16GB Class 6 and find it helps keep every interaction on the HD2 snappy. I install all of my programs on the card and play large movie files (600mb-1.8GB).
Swapping between all these programs and movies and phone calls etc really flies. I originally tried a 2GB class 2 and a 4GB class 4 and found they were ok but not as responsive when you had lots going on.
So my choice was 8GB,16GB or 32GB class 6. The price hike between 16GB to 32GB was significant and the steps between the loweer capacities were quite close so I went for the highest capacity card I could afford.
If you look around you can get them at "reasonable" prices.
The added advantage of a class 6 is when I plug the card into my PC I can transfer large (movie) files quite quickly and the speed difference is more noticeable when doing this on lower class cards.

LOL £3??? is there a free one available?
actually i'm happy with my kingston 16gb class 10 card
was sceptic at first but it holds up to what they say min 10mb/s transfer
you will be lucky to get a 32gb for around 50 to 60. i have 10 sandisk 32gb microsd for £65 each on order from HK and genuine. These retail for 80 - 90 in the uk. Not sure how much the trade is in the uk (unless i check supplier details) but the profit margin on memory cards is extremely small.
For the money your willing to spend you are better of doing what someone else suggested and that is using several 16gb cards.

thanx a lot

That is hilarious, I was laughing for ages! How true it is though.
WOW, why would you need so much pron on your mobile ? LOL.
i heard someone posting about pr0n?
where is it? are there girls in it?
<°(((<
set aside the childish remarks from members the same question could be asked about your hard disk in your machine, why do you have a hard disk larger than a few GB, why bother going 500GB, 1TB+ etc. The same answer applies to having a larger memory card, but for example TomTom maps of europe and america can be larger than 10GB alone, music collection can be large and some people like to use their phone as mobile storage instead of hotswapping usb pens.
I have filled up my 16gb memory cards with just that music (because i like to use my phone as a mp3 player) and the next step from 16 is 32.
DR_ASHK: The higher the class the faster the write speed but this also can be limited by the hardware / software.

Link to the retailer?
No link to supplier and hardly any of them have a web site etc, they are all based in HK Sham Shui Po, Golden Computer Arcade the only place to get good deals and contacts (also where a lot of people see new comp tech stuff out in the wild).

I tried term as root with a chmod 777 for the folders on my SD but that also didn't work... Any ideas? I'm getting a bit frustrated.

I looked at my needs for a micro SD for my phone.
Do I need Super Speed? No
Do I need a name brand? No
Do I need a LOT of space? Yes
Max space the LG G4 will recognize? 1TB <<< XDA Specs state only 128Gb (which is incorrect)
So I searched for about an hour to find the most space for my money with the highest customer ratings.
With this information, I found on ebay this:

A friend of mine told me that it wouldn't work as these SD Cards may come from the same factories that make them for PNY & Kingston BUT don't go thru the testing process. I thought... For $20, I can take my chances. It works.
I have ready every post in here, and no one is even close to what I've got.
The 1TB SD Cards were not as cheap, and they may need more time in production for all the issues to get smoothed out, but 512 GB's will do for now.
I travel a LOT to India, and as a Senior Tech Agent, I need to transfer Large files back and forth, keep large presentations with me at all times, and plus 512 gigs is awesome.

Galaxy Note8 Storage Options - 256GB

Do we know when the 128GB or if Samsung would grace the rest of the world; the 256GB option? Im surprised that no outlet has records for the 128GB or is it coming after launch since I only see 64GB versions available for preorder 'globally'.
I've been trying to find a 128gb version as well.... But no luck.
So right now im holding out ordering and waiting to see if the 128gb is releasing soon some where in the world.
North America never gets anything but the lower option - 64gb. Which is enough for now especially adding in the 256gb micro SD. That being said, I personally would love to have 128gb option and would pay $100 more for the extra storage. Just like I would also pay $100 for a BL unlocked (Dev version) of the Note 8. Don't think they have offered a Dev version of the Note since the Note 4, of which I bought the Dev version of that phone.
The versions with more storage, more ram, etc are usually very rare and only release in the asian markets. Not sure why they do that as there would be buyers elsewhere in the world. Head scratching.
Yeah Im in the USA however I couldnt care less where the device is coming from.. I preordered a 64x from clove.. but like you wanted the 128 at least (which is in my s6e...) so im taken aback how the internal storage options are still paltry. Yes the card.. but its not UFS2.1 speed so i dunno what gives.
sidenote, the note 8 has a ufs card reader which is up to 3x faster than usdxc.. slight mitigation.. if you can find cards.
I doubt a 128 much less a 256 version will appear—it's a classic Samsung tune, with every model since Note 2 they've been promising a “Luxury” of whatever version of the same model, always with double the storage.
I've waited for a couple of those before—they've never materialized…

I am sure if they exist they would be very expensive
not a peep about then since last summer either, so it's surprising to find that they've included the reader.. some expectation then of release. but.. bixby, so who really knows.

Better buy SD Card a fast one that has fast reading speed sandiak 200 gb or samsung evo 128 gb.
With 200 gb sd card (180 gb actual space) + 64 gb storage (52 gb actual space) =
232 GB Of total storage.
Which is just as much as 256 gb samsung phone.
Cause 256 gb samsung phones have 235 storage due to software.

128 vs 512

gonna pre order s10+, trying to decide if it worth it to get the 512 gb ram model for +$250
I know I can buy the microsd card for 512gb, which is a lot of cheaper, but i heard it a real pain to manage and move apps back and forth.
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.

Mi9 64GB or 128GB

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.
