[Q] 16GB vs 32GB

[bassplyr]

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

Thanks,
Roger

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 !

that of course isnt counting the 3.8 gigs to install apps on

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:

/mnt/SDCard2/

what app is it?

I really hope you can gather data from SD card with stock music and video apps.

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....

thanks

The storage is splitted between storage for application installation and data such as files, videos, photos, etc..
