I deffinitely order this as soon as it comes available. The question is 16Gb or 32Gb. personally I think i will get the 16Gb model tho I know for a tablet, it's quite small. But 100$ more is a big factor here. Google has priced the 16Gb right, but the 32Gb is too expensive to my opinion.
well, google adds $50 for an additional 8gb across the nexus lineup, so it is pretty consistent.
I would go with 32GB. There is no microSD card slot and if games take more and more space nowadays - supporting 2560x1600 would raise their size even more. Unless you don't play on a tablet - then 16GB might be enough (consider though what you want to put on it - music, HD movies etc. all take space).

Aside from potentially selling more 32GB priced tablets, do you know any reason why they are starting to head away from SD mounted storage? I personally don't buy the "cloud" train of thought and I'm sure people want access to their own files. But is there any technical reasons that affect system performance? I've heard about decreased OS issues without having a mount, but not sure why they take away such a valued feature.
Was thinking about gambling on the 16GB for the sweet price but will most likely cave for the 32GB.
I prefer the 16gb one as i am sure that the price diff can easily get me an otg cable and a 500gb external harddisk...

Except for the Nexus 7. They have dumped the 8GB model. And the 32GB model is only $50 more than the 16GB model.
Charging $100 for 16GB more storage is very 2010. Seems unreasonable to still be charging such a premium these day. But everyone else is still doing it, so Google will too I guess.
I'd like 32GB, I usually run out of space on my 16GB tablets. But I can manage the space and get by. So that is what I'll get again.
Depends if I can find some sort of NFC SD device; if I can then definitely the 16gb; if I can't then probably ... The next asus transformer.
Yes extra $100 for extra 16 gb is big factor,
since i don't really play that much on a mobile device i'd go with 16gb. I use this thing at home so i can stream whatever the F. I want from my NAS. Even on my phone i don't even fill 6GB...

Google makes money with their digital content sale. THey want you to stream movies, music using their service (just like Amazon). So don't ever expect an SD card slot on a nexus device...
I haven't decided. $100 for 16Gb is a lot. If it were $50 I'd get the 32.

yes, that'd be awesome. What would piss me off is they probably release a 64Gb model later and replace the 16Gb with the 32Gb one... just like they did with the nexus 7.
For 100$ I can do lots of things: paying for its tax, shipping fee, accessories...
Already made the 16GB mistake with the Nexus 7 and it made a negative experience so I sold it. 32GB minimum while 64GB is preferred but disappointed that there's $100 premium going from 16 to 32GB versus $50 for Nexus 7.
Maybe whoever produces Google's flash gives them discounts on it after they've had X number of 16GB chips manufactured, making 32GB cheaper and 64GB more reasonable?
Or maybe it's just that Google builds up enough of a profit from the first batch and the customers bought into the ecosystem to sell the higher capacity ones at less profit. There has to be some business type reason.
Going to order the 32GB as with a few films you can quite easily fill 16GB
Games are getting bigger and bigger too so got to go for the 32 me thinks.
I'm buying the 32GB model as well. I never even got close to filling up 64GB on my iPad 3 (which I am selling now), but 16GB will probably not be enough for me as I like to copy movies to my device for viewing on the go.
I go for 32GB. My songs (14 GB) and apps (2-4 GBs) usually take up most of the space
I have a 16GB Nexus 7 though.....bigger is better
I have a 1TB portable hard drive so I am going for the 16 gig one. Movies I will either stream or throw on the hard drive, and I still have unlimited data on my phone so everywhere is wifi.
Depend on your need,in fact,16GB is enough

Other than size and price, is there any big difference in the two? Also, which would you suggest? Thanks for your input

no as far as I'm concerned they are the exact same, other than hd capacity. As for size...its the exact same too. I am loving my 32 gb one. Its my first tablet but I have played around with other peoples ipads and playbooks to know what I lik. The laser eye remote is amazing for playing tricks on unsuspecting friends at their own homes by turning off they re tvs.
The 16GB is allready filled with around 8GB when you buy it. (And you can't remove it)
So you have 8GB free to store music, pics, movies, game-data,....
And that's just not enough for me. Kinda dissapointed in that.
I got the 32Gb and have since bought an extra 32Gb card for it.
With hindsight, though, I think the 16Gb would be enough, with the extra 32Gb card for around £22 (from 7-day shop on Amazon).
Worth investing in a 50Gb dropbox account for around £6 per month, so you can store music and pictures in the cloud, bringing them down when needed. Lots of options space-wise, really.
Using the 16 here and there's still more space than I need. Came with a 16 gig SD card and that's just sitting around doing nothing. This may interest some: I installed box.net on the tab as well and received a message congratulating me. Apparently my storage was upped to 50gig while I wasn't looking. Not sure what the criteria is but you might want to look into it if you're likely to need the free storage.

It's the question around my head stopping me to click on the pre-order button.
I have a N1 and though struggling with the internal memory, can't see having more than maybe 1GB or 2 in apps. I get that with this i would install a lot more, but what, another 2 GB? Maybe even 4?. Maybe 4 more in Music. I guess i would put there some films or series to watch. Maybe add what... 4GB? 8? I have a spare 16GB SD card (for use with the dock, which would probably get the films or series) and probably will get a 16 or 32 microSD for the tablet itself. That would be, at least, 64Gb. If i get the 64Gb version, it would mean at least 96GB
Why getting then the 64GB? I'm serious, i would really like to know the reasons people are behind the 64gb version. It's not that i believe it's not necessary, it's that I'm probably missing something in the equation and i don't want to miss anything so i can make the right choice before regretting not buying the right one.
Because.... People can afford it?

HD videos can get pretty dang big...10+ GB for 1080p (assuming bluray rip).
simple fact is HD video takes a lot of space. you put a few movies on at full res on the tablet, you'll soon see 64GB evaporate.
I have 32gb on my phone and am under constant pressure to swap things around because I don't have enough space.
I ordered the 64GB. Because I don't want any limitations and have to "worry" about if I have enough space.
And now when we have hardware that can handle high quality video 720p/1080p why don't use it. When you have gone HD you never want to go back to low resolution videos.
All movies/series I watch are 720p mkv.
4-7GB is one movie.
1-1.5GB is on serie episode
0.5-1GB is one game, and those will gets bigger now when they can be more advanced.
even apps will get bigger when they gets more advance.
So fast you will reached the 32GB mark.

All depends on your usage.
I keep around 20 gigs worth of music on my phone plus constantly swap out TV shows.
I got the 64gb version coming AND a 64gb microSD for it as well... I could easily see myself using the 64gb internal to fill up with pics and videos from the (from what it sounds like) great camera on the thing and have the microSD holding lots of videos, movies, ROMS etc... hell im lookin forward to the 2 terabyte microSD's!!
Because.........why not?
So I can laugh and look down from my mountain top upon all the 32GB peons!!!!
for $100, why not?
32GB Micro SD is about 60-70$ right now, 220$ for a 64GB. I want AT LEAST 64GB right now so I can dump all my music on it and use it instead of killing my data plan with Google Music. I'll end up getting a micro SD for it (64GB when they're a little more affordable anyways) so I can maximize the storage space on this thing. Games are huge, videos are huge. This thing takes pictures and video... why the hell not. What's 100$? You'll be paying more for the dock, but not for double the storage space? I think it's worth it.
64GB of local space is getting bigger and bigger the later we go into the future...
Look at Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, Google Music, Pandora, etc. and you will see a lot of that space is now useless.
But who cares? What if I want to go on a long road trip and I pack several Blu-rays on board or several giant games on? Maybe. Well, my 16GB TF101 still has about 10GB on it..... My 16GB iPhone 4 still has about 4GB on it... My 2.5TB HDD still has about 2TB left on it....
If you have $100 extra dollars to go down on this beatiful tab, go for it!
That have been a lot of answers for such a short time, thanks
I feel i'm convinced to go with the 64GB version, didn't know some games were so huge (with a N1 it's difficult to play anything not named angry birds ), and didn't remember the huge size of the HD files (sometimes i forget that because of the 2TB disk at the main pc, which never seem to end ). The main reason being, of course, laughing and looking down from the mountain to the 32GB peons
Now, time to wait, at least for christmas, for amazon.de to send it
HD videos...each clip can easily take gigs
Just because YOU use your devices a certain way does not mean everybody else should do the same as well. Some people have way more than 64gig of music. Some people have gigs of movies (I know I do). It's nice to copy a few 4gig+ movies over and not worry about left over space when I need the space later.
I have friends like this.. they say "16gb is fine for me, its all I need, why do you need a 64gb".. /facepalm
For many people, the 32GB model (supplemented by micro SD) is probably enough. But many is not all. Especially while travelling I do need A LOT more storage - I'd rather avoid having to use external storage or an SD card in the keyboard dock unless it's just for transferring photos from for example my digital camera. As a lot of commentators have mentioned, it's once you get into media storage especially video (but also to some extent music, photos, E-books, magazines/comics/PDFs and the like) that the 64GB model becomes advantageous. Basically, there is a lot of competing media requirements these days and I can only see that increasing. Cloud storage is not really an answer, as it's a solution for some of the issues but not others.

That's exactly why i asked it seriously, not in a "i don't need it, why you do?" fashion, but in a "i don't know if i would need it, tell me why you do and i will see if i do"
It's my first tablet, and my other android device is a nexus one with just ~ 180MB for apps + storage and microSD (4gb atm). That's why i prefer asking than just deciding on my own, as i already said, i might miss something and that's what i don't want And i asked it publicly because i might not be the only one with the doubt
Well, I deleted all my music from Transformer because of free space problem. 32GB would also be too little. 64GB + some SD/mSD would be OK though.

I think this is a no brainer really. a 64gb micro SD card is like what $200+, to get 96gb on a 32gb model would be quite expensive, but if you get a 64gb model and then add a 32gb card, it would work out less.
and if you have a lot of full hi-def movies on a tablet, to take full advantage of the hi-res screen, you won't fit many films on a 32gb card.
Gobs of media files - music and pdf manuals largely. While wifi coverage grows daily, I'm not in a major metropolitan area so finding coverage can be a challenge. The cloud is great - if you can get at it.

Why do people buy 32gb?
I ordered the 64GB version because I can, I say it's better with to much space then to little. And I don't want to come in that position that I don't have enough space, don't like when I get limited because of the hardware.
videos and music is the main use. I first thought on to buy the 32GB + MicroSD card, but with MicroSD you are limited to 4GB files and that is not good when most of the movies are bigger then 4GB. (can be wrong about this)
And was there something wrong with this thread?

[Q] Why 64GB?
B/C $100 for double the disk space is a good deal.... and I'm not constrained by my budget... so why wouldn't I get it?
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
If you need to have 96 gb or more its better. It depends on what your using it for. Those who are buying 32gb I think have a very specific use in mind and know how much space they need or are just going to use it as a media consumption device.
Those that are buying the 64gb version probably fit in 3 camps:
1) can afford the space so why not?
2) are using it for work and know/need/want to make sure that they have all of their materials at hand if they have no connectivity (I need geo maps, research papers, my own work, and entertainment on the device.) and don't want to lug or power a portable device.
3) Commuters who want to have access to a large selection of media on the device.
I personally would love to have a 128gb chip or a few of them and dump my bulky external drive. Though I think their price is a little high yet. 1tb would give me wet dreams. (my current ext hd)
Though I do amit that even if I didn't think I had the need for 64gb I would have bought it as you can never add more to the device itself. Say if you buy 32gb and need 128 your spending more than if you bought 64gb and 64gb chip. Barring the fact that you carry a collection of chips.
Cheers!
I'm just trying to think of whether I would be able to make use of the extra space. I don't think "why not?" or "because I can" are good reasons
I feel like maybe there are some useful/cool things I could do with the prime if I had extra space, but I'm still not sure what that is. I only have like ~8 gigs of music. I don't feel like I need a large media library on my device, since I'll know the 1 or 2 things I want to watch at any given time.
Using it as a general storage device might be interesting though.

Sounds like you might be better with a 32gb version then. Just think of all you would want to put on it get an estimated size then how close are you to 32gb if you break it I would buy the 64gb if you don't come close a 32 with an sdhc for expansion would be good I think.
I also think because I can can be a valid reason, think of it like this at the price the difference is not much for double the storage. Personally being a dink(double income no kids) the extra cost is nothing but the cost of not buying what I need can be the difference between having a useful device with no extra work to a useful device that I have to manage what sdhc cards have want info, loaded, and hope I don't loose the other cards. Just dont forget the oppurnity cost of the device.
I don't get why people think $100 extra is a fair deal for the 64GB.
An Samsung 32GB Class 10 card is €30 in Holland, while we pay €100 extra for the 64GB version.
Because I need more than 128gb I think a >=96gb chip is more than 100? And 100$ just is not that much to me.
Well future devices will have up to 128GB of flash storage. It was just released a couple weeks back or so that they finally made it possible.

to get 96gb on a 32gb model would be quite expensive as a 64gb card is $200+, but if you get a 64gb model and then add a 32gb card, it would work out less.
and if you have a lot of full hi-def movies on a tablet, to take full advantage of the hi-res screen, you won't fit many films on a 32gb card.
Do you stream or do you store? Storing music, even if you have a large library, doesn't chew up tons of storage. Video, especially high-profile, does. Plex and PlayOn pretty much eliminate the need to store video locally. I only store stuff when I know I'm going to be on long plane flights without Wi-Fi.
I've got about 2K Rhapsody downloads on my 32GB and a couple of local MKV videos and am using less than half the storage. More is always better and once you buy it you can't go back but it's also kind of stupid to piss money away (no matter how much you claim to have) on something you're not going to use. And it looks like January for the 64GB's so that's something to consider too.
I'm the one who created the other thread. I finally decided for the 64GB for the following reasons:
-I can (i mean, it's not a real effort to pay the extra)
-Now i don't see the real need for the 64Gb, but i don't know if i will need them in the time i have it, as it's my first tablet. Having the 64Gb means if in the future i need the extra storage, i will have it. Having the 32Gb would mean the need to buy extra microSD cards.
-I travel a lot, and sometimes for long time. SD cards are fine, but internal storage means faster reads and less problems (like forgetting the sd or having it lost/broken for any reason)
-I plan on using it for a little gaming too, if the games start to need more space, i will already have it and not depend on the sd card. I hate having to watch which apps I can have or not have due to space in my Nexus One.
-I have a dSLR so i'd like to use it too for pic displaying and very basic editing if needed (with the dock + sd cards). This pics are quite huge (10mb each, ~30mb if shot in raw), so moving a few of them to the internal storage (for using without the dock) would be quite space consuming.
-Having a 32gb microsd card means 96gb instead of 64, which further expands this capabilities.
I can't depend either on music/video streaming. Most music I like isn't in cloud services and Google Music isn't available in Spain. My internet connection is pretty bad, and the router is even worse, with ocasional and random wifi disconnections.
With all this in mind, i just prefer spending a few more € on the 64gb and not fall short in some weeks.
Oh, i forgot the main reason. To stand up in the top of the mountain and laugh at the 32gb people

It's fantastic that you both have the resources. It's incredibly ostentatious that, for whatever reason, you feel the need to share it with others that may not be in your position. Between this and the post in the BB thread where someone's order got canceled because of a debit card issue and some schmuck posted "I don't need to worry, my credit card has no limit" I'd say there's a lot of people on this forum who need to validate themselves.

That's way out of the reason i posted it. The OP is asking for reasons to get a 64 gb model over a 32gb one. Pricing is one of the possible reasons so I included it in the list just because it was an issue i considered while asking myself the same question, so it might be relevant to the OP. If i were just to try to show how proud i am of the money i have, i would remove the parenthesis (where i state that if getting the 64gb is an effort the OP should consider the 32Gb instead). The last sentence was a joke that someone posted on my the thread i created for this same reason and i liked and copied it here. You can check it if you want at the link someone posted in this thread.
I would buy the 64gb version due to the fact that on Honeycomb you can not move apps to the sd card and maybe this will change with ICS so with games taking up a lot of space the extra memory would be nice.
Which one will you be getting, and why?
The 16gb or 32gb?
I understand that with the difference in price between the 2, its cheaper to just buy a large microsd card for the 16gb.
I am leaning for the 16gb because I have never even been close to filling up 16gb on my atrix or s2 .. but I plan on having this phone as long as possible, so am considering the 32gb
16GB + 16GB SD, because I don't use more than that.
i'd get the 16gb version with a 64gb card... paying about £100 extra to go from 80gb to 96gb is too much in my opinion, in a phone that's already expensive itself.
For me the difference in price between 16 and 32 would be $50-60
I want the 32gb just to have that extra internal memory "just in case" but if the 16gb becomes available in the next week or so I'll probably spring for it instead. Reason: I want that damn phone. plus 16+64 should be plenty for me. 32+64 would be better but 16 will do. 64gb? not holding my breath for it.
Heard that the phone now 'Knows' that an external card is present and will download files to the external...if so, a 16 will do for me.
About the speed read/write of internal sdcard: 64GB >>32GB>16GB.
But there is no 32GB/64GB right now!
I ordered the 32GB from my carrier
Reason: 32GB for same price than 16GB one...
16 GB since it is more than enough space and music will be on cloud or sdcard.
I just read that N.O.V.A 3 has 2gb of content to it
Wow, we are going to see apps start abusing our memory options in the next 2-3 years

I heard the installed software and os is massive.. so for a 16gb version, u get 10gb usable space. (much like that of motorola atrix)
I normally keep 2-4gb internal free for app/os updates swap files and unzip occasional large files, as my sdcard is always filled with media files.
That said, i would still have 6 ~ 8 gb worth of space plus media on my sdcard.
Go for 32gb or 64gb would be more future proofing, as applications are getting larger and larger. If the cost is not by alot, its worth considering the 32gb.

future proof provided if u r not those who change phone every 1 or 2 yrs. else. 16GB + 64GB microSD would be a better choice.
else u r just paying extra for keeping those extra space for nothing. For games, yes the size might increase due to graphic. but for apps.. dont think will get so high as 500mb or more
Might be leaning to the 32gb now since I plan to keep the s3 as long as I can. My first BRAND NEW phone in a while. I might actually store music and videos on it.
(also with games like NOVA 3 requiring 2gb of space.. lol)
I'll be buying the 16GB version since Samsung won't be offering the other two where I live. And that's Central Europe, btw - LOL!
Hopefully the 64GB card from SanDisk will do. But NOVA3, damn you're fat!
Don't forget there is 50GB storage on dropbox for 2 years with every SGS3
The 16 gb one, unfortunately. Id rather get the 32 gb one, but it's not available here. Oh well, im going to get a 32 gb micro SD so, it should be okay anyway.
If it would've been a phone without an SD card slot I as well would have considered the wait for an 32GB version. However it has an micro sd slot so spending more for the same phone with more memory is essentially F.U.B.A.R. Unless of course everything on yer phone needs to be faster then fast, I'll say go for it.
About to order the N9. And I am getting pretty sick of shelling out a ton of extra cash for a little extra storage. I can get a 16gb SD card for like $10 from amazon. For $100 I can get a 160gb ssd for my computer. What makes these manufacturers think that it justified to add $100 to the price of a device for such little extra storage.
Now I will probably just go with the 16gb model as I only really plan on using it at home. I can smb or WiFi transfer anything I need. Also there are OTG solutions out there now that are very reason ably priced.
What are your thoughts?
I had a lot of similiar thoughts but ended up pre ordering the 16gb.. And im just going to buy the corsair voyager go 64gb for media.

I ended up getting the 32GB. But I thought the price is not bad due to the build quality and the specs of the device. Yes the storage is a bit disappointing but I believe this is a premium tablet. I ended up also getting this OTG USB Drive to expand the storage and thought would be great to transfer files from the phone to the tablet.

Apple set this standard on the original iPad and people bought it. Stupid fanboys are to blame, I guess. Since you can't upgrade the storage, you're more likely to go with the higher storage model, and OEMs will gouge you.
Notice that devices with external SD storage, the models with higher internal storage are a seriously tough sell. Ask any rep. I know for a fact that Samsung doesn't even releases its high storage models in all markets.

That does make sense. If it had an SD card slot I wouldn't even consider the 32gb model.
And I went ahead and ordered the 16gb model. $100 at this time is worth it for the minor inconvenience of having to use external storage every once in a while.
Considering both my N7s were running at 20+gb used it's worth the extra money to me.. A lot of people rely on cloud storage and don't need the extra space. If they would have offered a 64gb for $200 more I would have ordered that one but instead went with 32gb.

Have you ever used a tablet with one of those things protruding a few cm from it? Not worried the extended leverage could kill your charging port (no wifi charging!) if the microsd gets bumped?

I am not worried. One thing is it will only be in to copy stuff over, not keeping it in the whole time, two there is not much else options besides getting the otg cable but I like this way better
Sandisk Dual Micro Usb OTG Usb stick - 32gb i payed $19 for with free postage, so there will be options. $100+ premium for an extra 16Gb is rediculous.

Its actually an extra $80 for another 16gb, not $100.
That makes the Nexus 9 32gb cheaper than the Nexus 10 32gb.

That depends on your region.. In Australia tablet is 479 for 16gb and 579 for 32gb so 110

I'm in Canada. And then price difference is $100
I had ordered the 16gb from amazon but canceled due to possible supply issues. Then as I was reading xda someone mentioned roms and backups and I remembered having to move backups to pc before flashing a new rom with my phone...
I'm not much of a media person but roms/browsing/ingress primarily. Plus since I probably won't buy a new tablet in 2015 my Google play order is for the 32gb.
Consering convenience factors (doesn't take up external space/more software friendly/better IO/ doesn't use your usb port) I think it is worth it.

Then this would be a true power house of a tablet. How can I describe it? Hmm just like a mustang but with skinny little tires. You need them god dam larger tires! ?
