I know, i can have external memory, but it is slow comparing to NAND internal memory
How much of internal memory will left after all the system? 11GB?
On my galaxy s 16gb (rough comparison) SD card partition is 13.4 and app partition is 1.8. Rest is system partitions.
Touchwiz will probably take a bit more and Samsung may partition differently.
Its enough for me end up with 4gb free
With 5gb music.

if i read it right the built in 16 gb will have 10.5 gb usable as internal sd which is 1 gb lesser than my sgs2. Thank god sgs3 has the sdcard slot .

Do you really carry 128 gb of data's with your phone. Then get a extra battery too.

Damn ill take a 16 gb and 16 ext. Also the ext battery but deff not both 64.
Where have you seen info about extended batteries?
I never use more than 3 gig on my phone so 16 gig is plenty. Out of the 3 gig that I use, most of it is ROMs and kernels that are on it
... ... ...
I'll be happy with the 16GB one, already have a 32GB card but i may get a 64GB card too.
Yes. Put a 62 GB SD card in it and there you have it you will never run out of storage. Plus you can utilize the Dropbox Storage they give u

To each their own.
I think I'll buy a 32 Gb phone and buy an sd later as and when required. (Since internal memory is faster)

i think ill grab a 16GB version of the GS3..already have class 4 32GB never used it had it on my note but i returned it due to pixel issues..still a virgin but now i might get the higher speed sandisk 64GB.. that way when i get new Nexus/NOTE2/GS4 ect.. ill just buy the ones that have the lowest GB built inn and just popped the 64GB.. im good with a built in 16GB..got to love this SD slots coming from a iphone/ipad user..still like my apple stuff but its time for a change
question ? whats faster internal memory or the new Sandisk card when the phone reads it..i mean the Sandisk reads 30mb sec* i mean that plenty fast already..will there be a big difference when the phone reads the internal memory or the SD high read cards.?
will my class 4 32GB work good enough on the GS3? will there be like a little lag due to its a calss 4? or thats good enough?

San disk 64gb is class 6
sent from a 96gb N7000
NAND memory, the integrated one, is the one used in SSD disks. It is faster than SD cards
Related
So i'm looking for a new Class 6 8gb SD card to replace my sandisk class 2 8gb sd.
In your opinion, what brand is best to go to, Transcend or Sandisk?
or any other brand, I would like to see options. What brand runs best with apps2sd and linux-swap? I'm currently using enomther's AOSP extpansion pack rom, but i'm thinking about moving to a HTC Hero rom, thus why I need a class 6 sdcard.
Does it really increase the overall speed of a rom?
So, in your honest opinion, which brand should I go to? Links will be appreciated, and I like amazon =D
Sandisk or A-data sd cards are the best.
Class 6 is hellofalot faster then class 2, i only have a class for now since i lost my 8gb.But you should get either one of those maybe transend if its cheaper.
I like my Transcend 8gb Class 6....just wish I could find a 8GB Class 8 or 16GB Class 10.
This is my SD card and it runs lightning fast.

Don't worry phones typically downclock the reader slot to keep battery consumption at a minimum. If you ask anyone to compare a 8gig class 6 vs a 16gig class 6 they will tell you the 8 gig is much faster then the 16. It's because the bigger card needs more voltage to get to the same speed as the 8 gig card due to it's more condensed package. Also this is to allow for less heat issues cause of course more voltage to the card slot means more heat.

so does that mean (in theory) that a 32gb would be super dooper slow? For linux-swap and such?
I'e never had any problems with transcend. I got my 8GB class 6 from Amazon for £14
S2 have a 16 gig internal memory, so why does mine say 3 gig used and 8 available? Where is the other 5 gig? I'm running a custom ROM (not had chance to update my sig yet) would that make a difference? I can't seen to find out what this 5 gig is........
Thanks

i dont have the exact number to the nearest MB but it works something likes this...
16GB on internal memory equates to 14.4 (approx) GB available memory...
you can see something similar in any windows/linux PC...when you try to see the disk space...available is alway less than total...dont worry/bother right now why its like that...
ok now from 14.4 GB available... you take out 2.1 GB (approx) for internal memory (also called partition for storing Apps)...
this leaves you with 12 GB (approx) free...called the SD card memory (separate from any external SD card you might put in)
its like that for each and every SGS2 16GB model user.... nothing to worry about..

Don't know how much will it cost.
Priority is card speed. Higher class is faster: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital#Speed_Class_Rating
dont know the cost...my advice go for sandisk HC mem card class6 or a class 10...ur phone performance vl increase gradually ..
iam using a class 6 16gb my xpm is pretty faster than before.

Phone performance isn't affected by SDcard.
The only difference you can see is when you read/write files from SD, nothing more.
Web browsing doesn't get faster with higher class SDcard. Calling doesn't get better with higher class SDcard.
And Class 4 is enough for Android, I've never had problems with it and the speed is enough for me.

If you want to copy about 4 GB of data to SD from PC with class4 card and then copy same file/s to class10 card the time is a lot shorter with class10!
This is why many people use higher card class.
And when you want to have system in externel memory* this require minimum class6 card to avoid lags.
* e.g. HTC HD2
my Sdcard is 16GB class 10 (sillicon power) and write speed is 8 - 9 MB/s and read speed is 16 - 17 MB/s , this is very nice SDcard

I agree with u...but music player and video playback performance increases...and also after a reboot when u have apps installed in the sd it loads faster in the app drawer.

Hi guys
I'm looking to buy a Micro sd card, samsung 32GB, class 10
So my questions are:
1- If someone already using sd card just like this one, tell me is it working fine with your android device?
2- Do you think that patriot or some other manufacturer cards are better then samsung?
3- Does your phone in some cases really feals faster with an sd card with bigger class number ( does reading speed of your card effect phone's speed? )
4- I heard that class 6 ( 6 MBps ) is more than enough for android devices, and also that some class 10 cards slow down a device, is it true?
5- Will i ever have enough memory on my phone
I know that there are the same threads on forum somewhere, but i need answers quickly and thats why im opening this one..

1. It works fine.
2. It just user preference. Their both great.
3. Reading and writing to the SD card will be faster. It won't affect phone speed unless your device is using certain mods such as swaps, int.ext. sd swaps, etc. or you have apps on your SD card.
4. While class 6 may be quite fast for a device, there is no way a class 10 could be slower.
5. That's up to you .
tnx Theonew
if i understood it well, an app called swapper 2 can allow device to use some memory from partitioned sd card like a ram memory and provide it a slightly better multitasking, and speed.. ?
And i have read that it can also affect an sd card's life..
So, is it worth it?

Yes, swapping can degrade the life of the SD card but it is worth it if your device is a low-end one (and slow). It will assist in stuff like gaming, etc.
No, I really don't think its worth it. It really affects the cards life and does not really add much ram, even for slow phones...

An additional 256mb is quite a lot compared to 192mb (total).
Quick benchmark of Samsung SD card class 10 in the ASUS Transformer TF101.
Code:
[email protected]:/home/kuisma# hdparm -t /dev/block/mmcblk1p2
/dev/block/mmcblk1p2:
Timing buffered disk reads: 60 MB in 3.09 seconds = 19.43 MB/sec
Reference, the internal nand flash (/data partition):
Code:
[email protected]:/home/kuisma# hdparm -t /dev/block/mmcblk0p7
/dev/block/mmcblk0p7:
Timing buffered disk reads: 52 MB in 3.10 seconds = 16.79 MB/sec
If comparing read vs write, large blocks vs small, sequential vs random etc, the SD Cards wins a few times, the internal flash a few. It's more or less a draw. I would say this SD card got "good enough" performance, although far from SSD performance.
good enough for smartphone

hey guys, i know that xperia sola has 8gb internal memory but 5gb user available right?
so which memory card should i buy?
should i buy 16gb or 8gb would be enough?
i only gonna put like 50 songs, probably one 720p video which usually takes 700mb, some casual android games from the market, and some heavy gameloft games like mc3, nova and so on.
which should i buy considering it has 5gb internal memory available for user which makes it a total of 11gb if i 8gb+internal memory and a total of 19gb if 16gb+internal memory.
and which colour colour should i pick. white or red? i dont want black i have been using so many phones with black colour my whole life so white or red? :laugh:
If u have to put so many things on the memory i suggest u to take a 16 gb class 10, a ext sd card make all very slow if it is not enogh good!
I prefer the red one,but when i bought it there is only white -.-
Since the price is almost the same for 8&16 (at least where I live) I'd get a 16. You won't have to worry about the space if you decide to put more files in it later on.
But make sure the class is high enough or it will make your device laggy. I'm not sure what class would be good enough for android as I always use the class 10 cards from my cameras, but I think 4 minimum.
Oh and I'd get red, it's an eye catcher.

First of all the user accessible memory is 4gb only.
Now to answer your question, it'd be better if you go for 16gb.
Reason - You said that you will play heavy games like mc3. Now when you install these games from the play store, they download a big chunk of data on your internal memory (usually 1gb+) now since the user accessible internal mem is just 4 gb, you'll only be able to keep 2-3 games at max.
But there is an app by the name "gl to sd". Using this app, you can transfer those "big chunks" of game data to your external memory. (requires root).
Now you can keep around 5-6 games along with those songs and 720p movies you mentioned.
I am using Xperia Sola with a class 4 16gb mem card. have about 5-6 big games(mc3, asphalt 7. dead space, gta3, max payne etc), around 300+ songs, and still have 3-4 gb free in my mem card. Moreover I keep my internal mem of 4gb as free as possible.
