Hi,
I'm considering to buy the Samsung galaxy s6 edge. today I have the s2. I have a big problem with the s2 - I don't have enough space to update and install applications.
my question is if I want to avoid this problem with the s6, do I have to buy the 64gb version, or will the 32gb version would be enough? I don't need much space for pictures, songs etc.
thx

64gb will save you aggravation in the long run. Keep in mind no SD slot so you cannot upgrade later.

Get the 128gb, everything is bigger now, apps, photos, videos, might as well get the top end
Go with 64gb.
The camera images and videos are big in size because of high resolution.
There is no option to upgrade later as no sd card is supported.

thx for the replies. as I wrote, I don't need much space for media, and my only concern is for apps. i don't want to pay more for 64gb or 128gb if i don't really need it. the device is as expensive as it is. do u think the 32gb will solve the problem of not being able to install and update apps, or do i have to buy the 64gb?
I have the 64gb version.
I don't have much music on my phone (I stream with Spotify instead but do keep a few tracks locally stored for offline music). I don't have any videos installed so my storage is pretty much used solely for photos and apps. If I had purchased the 32gb version I'd be out of storage now as I've only got 33gb free space left. So yeah, get the 64gb version!

Not really. I've used up about 2.5gb in photos. 16.5gb worth in apps and app data (a couple of big games like Hearthstone for example) and about 4.5gb worth of Helium backup data. There is over 9gb dedicated to Samsung/Google system files there too.

I'd go for the 64GB one. I have an S5 now, with a 64GB SD card and it's less than 50% full, although I have loads of videos, apps, photos etc on it.
I had the same issue you have with your S2, fortunately my phone was rooted and I could delete 3GB of junk in the logs folder. Crazy!! Nowaday's (with my S5) I use the Clean Master to clear cache and junk and I have always space left.
My husband has got himself an S6 edge with 64GB. Just waiting for it to arrive.
As a rule of thumb I'd say go with the 64GB version for peace of mind later on. The 32GB version only has around 22GB of free memory so be careful. The 128GB is just useless unless you plan to watch DVD rips on a 5.1" screen or install 300 apps.

What are the practical performance differences between the two configurations. I know more RAM is always better, but is it worth $100?

It isnt ram, its storage. All you 'gain' is more room to store apps, music, movies etc. The tablet as almost all honeycomb tablets come with 1 gig of ram. If you see yourself packing the tablets with movies/photos etc then yes the 32 gig one is worth it.
At $100 for a 16gb increase it is far less expensive to just add a $20 16gb microSD card to expand to 32gb from a 16gb model.

Probably is til Sony patches it (and i hope they do) the sd slot is basically just a file transfer/media storage rather then true storage.
And keep in mind that the 16GB version only offer 8.9GB of storage !

with the correct 3rd party apps on the market you can use an sd card as true storage!!i got a 32gb sd card full of movies working with mx video player pro which you need for divx/xvid/avi movies anyway!! Got the card for £29.99 and its a class 10!

Well you can use File manager HD to look for and open files, or say if you have movies use MX Video Player. On both apps the sd card shows as sdcard2
Pretty much every single 3rd party none sony/asus/google/htc apps can play/view file directly from the SD card.
Only thing you need to know is that your SD card is located at:

hi - could someone please explain the storage setup?
I swapped my 16GB Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 for a 16GB Sony and as mentioned previously, it only shows 8.92GB internal storage (USB) plus 3.94GB internal storage so that's approx 3GB for the OS and sample files!
I assume this is just the way Sony split up the 16GB?
On the Samsung it showed approx 15GB from new
Just trying to clarify....

The storage is splitted between storage for application installation and data such as files, videos, photos, etc..
Which are the advantages of getting the 32Gb versions to the 16Gb?
I know that it has more memory: but isn't it enough to add to the 16Gb version a powerful microSD with 64Gb for example?
At the end of the day: is it worth it to pay more for the 32GB?
Many apps can't be installed to the external SD. So if you plan on installing a lot of apps and don't mind the wait, I'd say go for the 32 gb. There's no such thing as too much storage space ;-)
Just get the 16gb and put all your media files on a memory card if 16gb is enough for all your Apps.
Internal memory is always faster then external memory. If you are not bothered about in price difference, get the 32gb version.

Hi, so you can choose to save Videos and Photos taken with camera to External SD instead of Internal?
And use the Internal SD ONLY for the data downloaded by games and app (Android and Data folders), ClockworkMod Recovery and Titanium Backup?

I find the 32gb useless for a device that lets u use memory cards.
Isn't the internal ones better quality and high speed rating though? (my S2's internal writes at over 6MB/s and reads at 50) Looking at the SDcards I can get here there aren't many in store and most are class 6 and under can't find any class 10's that aren't cheap pos or good but really expensive and unnecessary. So I'm pretty much looking at needing to buy online you add shipping to that and I might as well just get the 32GB model for ease and less hassle. It also looks like Bell Canada will have the 32GB models on launch day as well so I think I will just get that when I go to get my S3.

13.05 gb total space available. That is what mine shows. Not really bad at all, not like I thought it would be. I have couple play movie rentals downloaded, 112 apps installed as well as a few dozen songs on the nexus 10. Only 2.6gb used, still have 80 percent left (10+ gb) . Also ordered a micro OTG USB cable so I can use USB stick/sd card for extra storage (no need to root for photo, video or music streaming if you use nexus media importer)
Hope that helps,
Ed
Wow glad I got a 32gb.. I have 11gb left and for WHAT? No music yet, well other then the free google gives you. no movies..Apps and 2-3 games. Must me BIG games and APPS! hehe
Buy a 64 GB usbstick and everything is OK ;0))
I would not recommend getting 16gb. My note 10.1 is 16gb and I have a 64gb and its not enough space. I can't keep all my games saved on my tab at once. I keep all my media saved on my sd card and only save game files on my system.

Mine was a Christmas gift, so I can have nothing to complain about. If I had the choice, I would have got the 32gb as well.. But after filling my tab2-7 int space and a 32gb sd card, I don't think that would be enough space either. But besides the usb memory stick ad on (got my cable from Korea today, works great!!!) there is the option of cloud storage. One service giving you 50gb free now!
That's the one thing about the large nexus 10.....You will more than likely be using it around the house and a wifi signal. Plenty of room for movies and music now! We only need an app that will allow us to install and RUN apps from cloud services.
If you are going to allow multiple users on the n10,then you must get the larger one.... But that probably won't be enough if one of the users is a gamer (grin) just such a large price difference for 16gb....Although I did once pay that for 1mb on my first IBM XT 16mhz system... 1mb simm chip, not gb! (gotta love this tablet!)

I've given up on the 32GB White Frost ever seeing the light of day at AT&T.
I'm intrigued by the new Mega 6.3 though it only has 16GB internal memory.

In my opinion, actual daily performance won't be much different except for the Mega having a much bigger screen. Samsung was even caught calling the Mega 6.3 as Samsung Galaxy S4 Mega in one of their app updates that ties in with the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini which also has different specs to the original S4.
* Screen - the Mega might have lower resolution but the SC LCD is brighter and has more accurate colors than S4's AMOLED. You might be like most people who never want to go back to smaller screens after experiencing bigger ones because it will feel like a downgrade.
* CPU/GPU/RAM - the S4 will be faster in benchmarks as the specs is better but the Mega is not far behind in terms of actual daily use. It's difficult to find an app that won't run on the Mega the same way it will on the S4.
* Features - the features taken away from the Mega to make it look inferior to the S4 are not very important (S Health, photo modes, eye scrolling, etc) and the features left are better (IR blaster, Adapt Sound, NFC, works with gloves, etc)
* Price - the Mega is a mid-range phone which tends to give more value than high end phones which get high specs with less real life advantage. This includes more megapixels, more PPI, more Ghz, more GBs, etc. Most people pay for the extra power which they don't need/use.
In short, it's a great phone if it suits your needs.

One final question. I kept holding out for AT&T to get the S4 32GB in the color I wanted but that's not going to happen. Do you feel that I'm going to be faced with the same drawbacks going with a 16GB Mega as I would with an S4?

I think it's Google who prevented the moving off the app to the SD card on Android 4.2 and up. Samsung even released an update on the S4 to bypass this but it won't move large data of apps. Hopefully Google will change this on the next version of Android and/or Samsung will put 32GB as minimum internal storage after complaints about Touchwiz eating too much of it.

Think you're right. If the analysts are right Samsung will be moving away from Google soon. That will certainly turn the phone market upside down! I see no reason for any smartphone to have less than 32GB internal memory period.

I think minimum should be 32GB internal memory as Full HD movies and 13MP photos need more space to store. They make phones with 1080p screens and high megapixel cameras, then put 8GB/16GB memory to play with which doesn't make sense.

Price just $50 more for S4 but how much more you will get for $50..
Here in the UK the price difference of the Mega and the S4 is around $200 unlocked so it's a much easier choice.
Hey guys.
I had a Note 4 and decided to give it to my sister and now wanting the S6 Edge. I had a 32gb note with a 64Gb card with about 38GB of music.
And Im now leaning towarda the 64gb model. Want to know peoples experience with their chosen storage. What did you choose and was it enough? Did you wish you went a step higher?
With the amount of data you had earlier, it's obvious that you need at least 64GB device. Don't forget that the S6 does not have expandable storage.
I had an LG G3 32GB with a 64GB card. It was a overkill for me, using less than 20GB of data on the card and a few more on the device. As for internal storage, for a 64GB unit, only about 55GB is available to you, so you gotta base your usage on that.

TBH I could survive with 32GB. But I got the 64GB. I got the Nexus6 in 64 for that reason. Well because I could!
My iphones are 128GB as well. Apple keeping 16 instead of 32 for the entry device is silly. Many will be frustrated when their (nearly full) devices cannot be updated to later iOS versions!
I probably would have got the 128GB S6 if it were available.
But I won't lose sleep over not having it.
OTG works fine for bulk transfers.
Air droid on our 5GHz AC network is plenty fast even for copying full roms and is it ever convenient!
I went for a 64gb. My old phone had 32gb and I was forever deleting stuff off it, I would have liked the 128 more but yeah at least I can now have a few games and more music.

32gb is enough for me, i actually store music on google music , you can upload your music to it using google music manager on PC , can have 50,000 and single file can be 300mb , of course you need data as it will stream, as im on unlimited don't have any issues and plays instantly , and when moving to another device can just log in its so quick, how things have progressed, i really dont have any use for sd cards now !:good:
I've only got a few albums (3 or 4) on my phone at the moment. I only get 1.5gb data so it's not enough to stream off the net, I would use it up to quickly. I have 15 games on here, some I'm only trying and deleting. I Still have 32gb free

I got the 64. I could possibly have settled for the 32gb, but i prefer not having to worry about it, and be able to install a ton of different games that i probably wont play. The problem with 32 is that it becomes 21 after the system, and in my case 10gb less after you synchronize spotify, leaving me with 11gb for games/apps/roms/backups etc.
So 64 is a nice middle point, i feel like it's only in a few unique cases that 128 would be necessary.
I also came from a 32gb note with a 64gb sd card.

When switching from my Note 4 to my S6 edge and trying to determine the capacity I needed, I just looked at the total combined storage of what I was currently using on my Note 4. I understood that some of those files were OS related files.
I didn't feel like dealing with the hassle of deleting files just to switch devices and I was close to the 64GB threshold, so I went with the 128GB. I'm glad I did.
I'm a heavy Cloud user, all my music is on Google, pictures are stored on MS OneDrive, etc. I had a 16GB iPhone 6+ and wasn't too limited. Picked up the 64gb just because it wasn't too much more and gave me plenty of space.

I don't mind using Google or Dropbox, but Microsoft OneDrive has the absolute worst upload rate of any online storage out there.
I tried uploading pictures to OneDrive several times and the upload speeds were painfully slow. After a quick Google search I realized it was a Microsoft issue that they refuse to fix. Microsoft keeps somewhat acknowledging it as an issue and releasing "how to" instructions tips in order to fool people into thinking they are helping, but they're not addressing the hardware issues related to the problem.
So much for that 2 years/100GB of space for free through OneDrive because I consider it pretty worthless.

When switching from my Note 4 to my S6 edge and trying to determine the capacity I needed, I just looked at the total combined storage of what I was currently using on my Note 4. I understood that some of those files were OS related files.
I didn't feel like dealing with the hassle of deleting files just to switch devices and I was close to the 64GB threshold, so I went with the 128GB. I'm glad I did.

everyone wants that. But its crazy expensive. Dont want to pay too much, cause I know a Note 5 is right around the corner.

That's pretty much the story of my life. Something is always right around the corner. Truth told, I'll probably buy the Note 5, but there's no guarantees. I'm pretty happy with the size of the S6 edge.
The other thing I considered when pondering space was the fact that things start running slower when you start running closer to capacity. I like to leave plenty of overhead for the sake of keeping it nice and smooth.

I don't mind using Google or Dropbox, but Microsoft OneDrive has the absolute worst upload rate of any online storage out there.

Sorry it isn't working for you, OneDrive has been gangbusters for me. I uploaded about half a gig and it didn't take that long at all. Sitting happily with my 1.12TB of storage and not planning on switching back any time soon.
16 would have been enough for me. I stream most things

I opted for the 64GB version, only because the 128GB one wasn't available here (Samsung decided not to release that model here)! I keep some of my work docs on my device and occasionally need to access them when I have zero signal so cloud storage isn't an option for me unless it's personal pics or music or other unimportant stuff. If I need extra storage on top of the 64GB I'll just get me an OTG flash drive, but so far I still have about 35GB free so I should be ok!

I have 26 gig of music, 104 apps, 13 gigs remaining on my 64. This is adequate for my needs, I've been on android for the start and have a consistent app package with the occasional new app coming on and an old app riding off into the sunset. You likely either know exactly how much you are using and whether that is on the move or not, if in doubt, get more. But then I'm a bit of a slut.
128GB. Version you can never have too much space. I use my phone every day and couldn't live with out it any more. When I'm that dependant on it why wouldn't I get the largest capacity?
Decided to take the 128gb myself. Didnt want to deal with storage problems...but crazzzy expensive here in europe.
64GB is plenty. Trying to sell the 128GB at a decent price will be harder once the Note 5 comes out as well, so went with the middle option.
