Agreed. I'd much rather import a 32GB Z3 from the UK. Now when I get my TMobile Z3, I'll have to wait for their carrier bs.

Just stick an SD card in and use that for the compatible ones. Most big apps like games and things will happily sit on SD and download their additional data to it. If you get a nice speedy class (6 or above) you'll have no problem.

None of my games sit on the SD card. Baldur's Gate, Bard's Tale together take up over 4 GB of storage space. Not sure I've ever installed a game and it installed to the SDCard.

According to the following document,

http://dl-developer.sonymobile.com/...ria_Z3_D6603_D6633_D6643_D6653_D6616_WP_1.pdf

only the D6616 variant will have 32 GB of internal storage. AFAIK the UK will receive the D6603.

No they dont. Its a real problem. Sony dont do one phone that has more than 16GB in Europe. Although the old short lived xperia T did.

I own Xperia TX and still use it.... Never has Sony done more than 16GB except for some special case imports.... the phone will be out of date by the time you can get your hands on one... worse than that is Android not allowing you to switch anything you like onto SDCard.. Its bad enough that they reserve X GB for system and not allow non critical apps to be completely stored on SDCard.

Root it, install Xposed framework and then use the Obb to SD module to store all the obb files on the SD card.

Oooooor buy the 32GB version. It's not a question of can, I spend 8 hours a day developing. I don't want to spend my free time messing around with the inner workings of my phone.

It's worthwhile rooting and using this mod anyway, even with the 32GB version

 

[jonshipman]

Not if you don't have the free time!

Theres loads of apps you cant use if rooted, especially banking apps. You shouldnt have to root and mess about with stuff to get extra app install storage.

Sigh. If you don't want to root then don't. There's loads of apps you can't use if unrooted and I for one wouldn't dream of using a banking app on an insecure, unencrypted mobile device that is prone to be lost or stolen.

I was pointing the way to a mod that helps to save large amounts of space on internal storage. No matter how much internal storage you have, it will always free up some. It's not a replacement for larger internal storage, but a utility that performs a specific and useful function. If you don't want to use it, maybe others reading this thread might want to give it a spin.

Is there a way to root this phone yet? I would love to. I used easy root tools for the Z2 and it made the phone so much more useable. I don't want to flash any roms or anything like that. I simply want access to some of the great root required apps in the playstore.

Thanks

You can gain root access with unlocked bootloader, check development forum.
