get a microsd card
sigh
Thanks -- I understand I can get an SD card... my point being is that I'd rather have a maximum of 64GB, not 48GB.

isnt that a bit extreme anyway? 16+16 will more than do for me... i already have a 16 microsd card otherwise i would be fine with just the internal storage
where is the source of this info?
or is that just your own speculation?

Clove UK notify me 32gb not available for pre order
Source of 32GB cancellation rumour
OK... poked around a bit, and everything I found on the 32GB cancellation rumour pointed back to a tweet by an Aus online mobile store:
twitter.com/MobiCity/statuses/45699067543695360#
I think the wording of this tweet puts this firmly in the 'unconfirmed' category.

Did Clove actually inform you what you mention in your opening post?
The only information I have received from CLove was dated Friday 11th March which stated:-
Dear Beards,
Unfortunately the situation regarding the Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 32GB has changed since your order was placed.
Initially, we were informed that stock of the Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 32GB would be arriving in late March, but this is no longer the case. At this stage we do not have an estimated date of arrival for the Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 32GB and as a result of this we have disabled the ability to purchase the handset on the Clove website.
Due to the change in circumstance, we have amended your order, replacing the Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 32GB with the Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 16GB. You are of course welcome to cancel the order if you would not like the Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 16GB. At this stage we are aware that the 16GB model will be available before the 32GB model.
We have now confirmed the price of the Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 16GB, it is currently priced at £440 + VAT (£528.00 inc. VAT). At the moment we are expecting the first stock to arrive at the beginning of May.
We would also like to point out that there has recently been reports of the Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 shipping with two different processor chips, the Samsung Exynos and the NVIDIA Tegra 2. At this stage we do not know which chip UK stock will ship with, although reports have suggested that it will be the Exynos chip. We will confirm these details as soon as possible.
Any updates regarding the Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 will be posted on the Clove blog, as well as the Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 16GB product page. We will do our best to keep you up to date with any further developments that do arise.
Regards

I read it here
http://ausdroid.net/2011/03/10/sams...ay-1st-32gb-model-cancelled-due-to-high-cost/
According to the leaked pictures at engadget : http://www.engadget.com/photos/three-uk-leaked-roadmap-with-galaxy-s-ii-mini/#3984951
It says 16GB onboard memory, no details on the 32GB version. So this might actually be true, although I really don't think it matters as 48GB of space is more than enough on a phone.
leaked 3UK slides
Yeah, I saw those... those slides also say stuff like:
4.4" screen
Super Amoled 2
HSDPA 14.4
1.2 Ghz processor
I'd take anything on those slides with a very heavy grain of salt.
no one has been able to confirm 32GB model cancellation.
until we have a definite word from a Samsung spoke person like SamsungJohn or some more confirmation from Clove online store, the 32GB version is still available, just will be launched later
Honestly i dont see the point to have 2 versions. More version means more cost for Samsung in the end so if i were in their place i would also re-consider.
After all 32G sd's are damn cheap now days and seriously 32+12G is pretty much space. ITs a mobile so its not meant to replace your NAS or something hehe
Dunno about you but I have 200GB of music, so the more I can load on the phone the better. I have been told by the folks in the Samsung shop here in Taiwan said the incumbent telco will get an exclusive (in Taiwan) on the 32GB and should be arriving around the last week in July. I also couldn't read, but did see the email from Chunghwa telecom marketing stating same and laying out prices for the various contracts.They also said it would be exenyos.

Have you missed this one: http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9103_galaxy_z-review-614.php ?
It is called Galaxy Z though, but this is the Galaxy SII with Tegra 2 that has been rumoured for a long time.
Hi -
I live in the UK and would love to get my hands on a sim-free 32Gb S3 which is a problem as vodafone seem to still have the exclusivity rights.
There are some retailers (simplyelectronics, mobicity etc) that are sell 32Gb units - but I am concerned that that these will have overseas ROM and won't function correctly in the UK.
How justified is this concern? If I get an overseas model then is it just a case of using odin and flashing the ROM and I'll be as good as if it was a UK unit?
Also... does anyone know what the status is of the vodafone exclusivity deal - is it likely to end soon and we'll see 32Gb units everywhere?
Many thanks!
You do realise that you can expand the storage of the 16GB version... how much storage do you really need???
As for the expansys/handtec supply etc. - grey imports - caveat emptor
No such a thing as a UK unit...a car may be but not a phone hardware wise..software not always branded by carriers...and yes Odin it! Plenty of custom romsto choose from..
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
OP may want the 32gb just to have tons of memory. Anyway, I bought my S3 from mobicity UK. Came with stock European unbranded rom. No issues whatsoever.
Hi
Many thanks to all who have replied ...
LenAsh - yes i know there's a slot for a card but given the OS uses up ~6Gig then ideally I'd like to have some more onboard storage.
Widget21 - thanks for that - if I've understood correctly then just Odin-ing the phone will give me a UK unit as the hardware is the same globally?
DramatikBeats - good to hear your feedback from mobicity - appreciated; was this a 32Gb unit?
Cheers!

hey dconroy,
I'm currently in the UK and purchased an unbranded 32GB S3 from amazon.de without any issues or problems and got shipped straight here.
I'm in France and bought my unit on a Hong Kong website and all is perfect. Localization is brought by the Rom, not by the phone.
Nah, 16gb. 48gb is more than enough memory for me (including 32gb sdcard)
Regardless of where you get it as long as it is modelo i9300 you can restasure you can unlock it flash it and root it without any problems. In my most humble opinion you should wait and get the LTE version
2gigs of ram
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Hi -
Many thanks to all the answers - I really appreciate your time. To summarise this is what I think is the case - let me know if any of this is wrong!
* All S3 units are the same globally - it matters not which country it's bought in (so long as it's a genuine product not a fake).
* I can flash the ROM with Odin to make it behave as if it was a new UK handset with no difference to any other and this does not require me to root the phone
Many thanks!
Almost correct. The US S3's are completely different phones.
As somebody else pointed out, just make sure the model is i9300

Got my pre-order for a white 16GB Galaxy Mega cancelled this afternoon after getting a call from the seller saying that 'only the 8GB version is for UK release'. Anyone got any idea when/where I can get a 16GB version in the UK or in Europe? The 8GB version only has around 5GB usable space and it's definitely not enough for my apps specially if I can't move them to the SD card.

Umm, that seller is from Hongkong. I'm looking for UK sellers with good records so I don't get scammed. I've tried other UK sellers but it seems like they've posted items which they don't have. You can see other sellers updating their item details because they only got 8GB stock instead of 16GB.
Edit: Nevermind, found some from Kikatek UK. I hope people from the UK would reply where they got their Mega so other users can compare deals and shopping experience.

Haven't ordered yet as I'm wary of the version. I'm trying to message the seller to confirm first. There are some 16gb on Amazon UK but they might change the item description today.
Just root and use foldermount until the memory swap is available..
Not a problem..
Or maybe wait until the 16GB is available? Maybe then proper root will be available with custom ROMs too

That sucks Are you planning to return it? How much of the 8GB is usable storage? 8GB will not do for me as the usable space would be much less for my apps.
Games I own at the moment:
NFS Most Wanted(2GB)
Dungeon Hunter 4 (1GB)
Puzzle Quest 2 (250MB)
Fieldrunners 2 (300MB)
Minion Rush (250MB)
+ other game and apps over 2GB
Some sellers from Amazon have 16GB listed but I am not sure if they're really 16GB as one seller told me that only 8GB is for UK release. I'll wait another week or two as they might get the 16GB in stock by then or I might just go for the Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 3G which only comes in 16GB and 32GB versions.

I am waiting until Monday when they have said they will come back to me, either way i will probably keep as i only really need space for maps for navigation on internal SD (1GB). Available space is about 4.75GB.
I doubt any of the uk well known sellers will have the 16gb version anytime soon

Update us as they might have a date for the shipment of the 16GB versions. I don't mind if it's without LTE (i9200) as long as the internal memory is 16GB.

After calling several sellers including the Samsung store, I decided to get the 8gb since everybody has no idea when or if the 16 gb will ever be sold in the UK. I got a SIM free one for 374 quid using an eBay voucher. I will do the same and use Foldermount until we get slim custom ROMs or memory swap function.
same as, got the 8gb did not fancy buying it from simply electronics to badly reviewed, comes tommorrow so time to do some custom building stuff as sold my note already lol

Hi thering, thank god you're on board building custom ROM for the Mega I've sold my Note last month and is itching to get a Mega so ordered the 8GB. You can now get the white 8GB version for £370 from eBay (e-cell) and the black one for £401 from eBuyer.

I loved the XtraliteROM for the Note and with the limited storage on the Mega a slim ROM would be great.
You can also claim the title of the longest running ROM for the Mega as well

From what I read, the 3g only version of the Mega 6.3 (i9200) has the 16GB version while the LTE version (i9205) is only 8GB. Maybe this is to make both versions similarly priced in Europe and North America. In Asia, the 16GB i9205 is already available as my friends from the Philippines got their Mega at the Samsung launch there last Saturday for £330.
TMobile states ONLY 16GB Internal versions being sold. They insist no information on 32Gb versions. Thought this should be corrected when looking at the specs listed here as being both 16Gb and 32Gb models. Online sources erroneously mention that if ordered online you can get a 32Gb version. Three different conversations with TMobile refute this. If anyone has more information, then please correct me on this.
Currently all US carriers are only selling 16 GB variants and no one has any information if and when the 32 GB variant will be available. I'm guessing never.

I doubt it'll 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. They've never materialized…
Isn't it like a market exclusive? I know they have 128GB versions of the S8+ in Korea.

A 128GB Note 8 would be brilliant but I'm just happy we're getting 64GB as a base option even if Micro SD is included.
It may be because the 128gb and 256 GB versions in Korea might not have the expandable memory option. Idk

In my opinion the reason Samsung does this is the higher storage options also happen to be the "dual SIM" version. Same goes with the 128gb version of the HTC U11.
I believe they expect you to use both slots for SIM cards and therefor give you more storage space to make up for it.
I personally think this sucks. Yes, the SD is fine for "media" (photos, videos, books, documents etc) but the default "download" folder is internal, most apps place cache on internal, and Games, did I mention Games yet? I would Love to own a 256gb note AND have an SD card for media, but Samsung and HTC disagree with me and think 64gb for apps and games is more than enough.
This when Apple offers 32gb, 128gb, and 256gb Iphones (and the rumors for the soon to be released point to 64,256,512!!!)
Seriously, Android is always about compromises and the manufacturers lecturing us that they know best (region specific storage, RAM, colours, in LG's case DACs, etc) Yes, Android is about choice, just not our choices.

Yes I agree. I could care less about expandable memory if you give me 256gb or more of internal storage. Especially when like you said I have a limited amount of apps I can actually move to my sd card. But I feel like alot of U.S customers actually care about that which is why Samsung justifies keeping it in the U.S market and can get away with the 64gb version. Even though manufacturing wise it probably would have been easier for them to just crank out just a 128gb and 256gb internal storage version

True, but this model is imported from Hong Kong and not officially released in the Australian market.
Do you have any indication if the 128gb will be released in Hong Kong in a dual-SIM variant?
