As per title, are LG doing to ship the 32GB variant to Europe as every non-imported model appears to be 16GB?
Thanks
My usual German store shows both 16GB and 32GB in pre-order, so I'm assuming yes.
In Norway it seems only the 32GB is on sale, comes in black or white.
Interesting, wonder why LG have decided then not to ship 32GB to UK then, or whether its a supply constraint?
I'll just have to import from the continent.
LG for some reason don't like the UK market! I've had bad experiences with them in the past over a tv and a sound bar

Word around the net is that O2 have exclusive rights to the 32GB model here in the UK, can't find a source though.

It's 32GB, 24.60 is probably the free space you got for the Virtual SD Card.
I figured as much, but doesn't that seems strange? Would the OS etc really consume 7.4 GB? Hell you could fit a Windows into that! If this is the case, then a 16GB version of the phone would be left with 8-9 GB of space only. This is clearly quite low for todays standards.
Also I suppose this confirms the question if we'll be getting 32 GB in Europe, as I seem to have one.
Delete the boatwares and you will gain some space
I don't believe I can as my phone is unrooted as of so far, is there a root for my version of the phone? (Swedish Tele2)
The price difference between the 16 and 32 GB model is no negligible they should just make one version.

Any more info on this on the 32GB version for UK?.

O2 exclusive I hear
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I asked an O2 rep instore. They confirmed they will have it (but not yet) - couldn't give me a time frame or anything.
The 32gb one is not on their website and the 16gb one isn't even on their front page. For someone who has exclusivity they really don't look like they care. And their contract deals are insanely expensive on this phone. This is not looking good
Because nobody wants 16gb if non expandable storage with 12gb user availability. This with a camera that shoots 13mp 1080p at 60fps. I mean how much can you record? Like 10min before disk space is low?
Couple of apps, couple of pics, few cd's aaaaand diskspace is gone.
They should have never made a 16gb model. It should have been 32/64.
I am from Belgium and eagerly looking for a new phone cuz the screen is broken from my s3. But I refuse to buy the 16gb model and they do not (yet? ) sell the 32gb version.
Just got word from lg Belgium/Netherlands/Luxemburg that the 32gb variant will never be sold here.
So we can only get 16gb, big marketing mistake.
So I will not buy an LG G2 then... shame, I definitely would have liked the g2.
32 GB only in Denmark.

mozart in China now only sells around 3400RMB=513USD for 16GB version. authentic one of course i'm saying.
German prices (16 GB as well) go around 470-500 USD
Ive paid 380€ = 490 USD.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Hi, any website with Note 8 128gb ? i don't find it anywhere ...
Thanks
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.

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?

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

You forgot to mention that Apple charges an extra $100 for each memory step up. I'm not willing to pay $1130+tax for a 256gb Note 8

That is the thing about choice.
Just because you are not willing to, doesn't mean others are not!
I would gladly pay a premium for a higher capacity phone. If you are not, purchase the base model, we both win!
It should be avaible in Australia !!!

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?
Currently I have a 64gb dual-SIM Exynos version on pre-order, but I'd gladly pay a Premium for a dual 128gb that's Exynos.

Do you have a link? In Korea they usually don't have dual-SIM versions right? Or do they?
Is either US or Canada getting Galaxy Note 8 128GB for consumers? Until today, I have not seemed galaxy s8+ 128GB on sales even in Taiwan.

Sorry, I have no idea. Being from Australia, I don't own the Hong Kong model and don't know what will and won't work in Singapore on the HK model.
In mexico the only version officially available is the exynos 128 GB
Does somebody knows if this version is powered by snapdragon or exynox in europe? I can't find a reliable source, not even vodafone.ro who is selling( preorder for now,but in stock)

In Europe? All the variants, regardless of storage capacity, are powered by the Exynos 9810.
Hope so. Now I have Note 8 256 gb from Honk Kong....and it's snapdragon...
I'm flabbergasted that the S9 Plus seems to only be available with 64 gigs in the US. How can they up the ram to 6 gigs and keep the storage at 64?
With the upgrades in camera, pictures and videos take up more space. 128 gigs should be the new base standard.

I am only guessing but I think they did it to keep the cost lower. If they had gone to 128GB in the US, the price would have been over 1000 for a new phone and I think they wanted to keep it lower than the IPHONE X - that is just my guess -but I bet I am correct.

Here in canada the s9 costs $624 usd since every store gives you a $150 discount when you trade in any junk phone, its definitely the cheapest galaxy phone to date that i've seen. My s8 was $800.

WOW - that is amazing. I purchased my S9 Plus (128GB) at CLOVE UK, I think after the conversion from Pounds to Dollars the final cost was $1014 - that includes overnight shipping. BUT, none of the extras you got in Saudi Arabia -

Quite possible. Only issue is adding in a decent SD card, which will be needed, still bumps the price up. I don't usually use external storage for phones, too, so this is a big drawback for me.

Check with them if it has the regional lock and if so ask them to send you a prepaid SIM or unlock it for you ( which mean they have to make a 5 minute call )
Clove.co.uk said:
*Since September 2013, Samsung has implemented a 'region lock' on all new stock. Clove Technology only has access to models designed for the “European” region, which covers both UK and mainland Europe. The compatible countries are listed below**.
For correct operation, this handset should be activated inside one of these countries with a SIM card issued for use there. The device will then be able to accept SIM cards from outside of these countries.
Activation requires turning the device on for the first time & completing set-up with the SIM installed, then completing at least 5 minutes of voice call(s) with this SIM.
Without activation you may still use the device outside of these countries when 'roaming' - using a SIM card from the listed countries.
If this activation procedure is not followed then the device will lock when first attempted to be used with a SIM card from outside of these regions. Local Samsung support may provide a code to unlock such handsets.
**All member states of the E.E.A and the following additional territories: Albania, Andorra, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (F.Y.R.O.M), Monaco, Montenegro, San Marino, Serbia and Vatican City.
IF YOUR CHOSEN DELIVERY COUNTY IS NOT LISTED, CLOVE TECHNOLOGY WILL BREAK THE SEAL ON THIS DEVICE AND ACTIVATE IT. YOU MUST AGREE TO THIS PROCEDURE IN THE CHECKOUT BEFORE THE SALE WILL COMPLETE.

@calinormy does that cost way cheaper than being bought in other countries in Hongkong ? Worth to buy one at HK - just wondering price would be less.
