[Q] Is 16GB enough for SGS3 and everyday comprehensive use?

[camspy]

I know, i can have external memory, but it is slow comparing to NAND internal memory

How much of internal memory will left after all the system? 11GB?

 

[trailblazerz11]

On my galaxy s 16gb (rough comparison) SD card partition is 13.4 and app partition is 1.8. Rest is system partitions.
Touchwiz will probably take a bit more and Samsung may partition differently.

Its enough for me end up with 4gb free
With 5gb music.

if i read it right the built in 16 gb will have 10.5 gb usable as internal sd which is 1 gb lesser than my sgs2. Thank god sgs3 has the sdcard slot .

Do you really carry 128 gb of data's with your phone. Then get a extra battery too.

Damn ill take a 16 gb and 16 ext. Also the ext battery but deff not both 64.

 

[camspy]

Where have you seen info about extended batteries?

 

[barondebxl]

I never use more than 3 gig on my phone so 16 gig is plenty. Out of the 3 gig that I use, most of it is ROMs and kernels that are on it

 

[bconover93]

right now, I just have a 4GB sd card and no internal storage and I get by with around 1GB free. most of the memory used up is the 336 songs I have on there right now.

I actually use the limited memory to my advantage so I can mix things up by putting different music on my phone every so often.

I'll be happy with the 16GB one, already have a 32GB card but i may get a 64GB card too.

 

[CoNsPiRiSiZe]

Yes. Put a 62 GB SD card in it and there you have it you will never run out of storage. Plus you can utilize the Dropbox Storage they give u

To each their own.

I think I'll buy a 32 Gb phone and buy an sd later as and when required. (Since internal memory is faster)

i think ill grab a 16GB version of the GS3..already have class 4 32GB never used it had it on my note but i returned it due to pixel issues..still a virgin but now i might get the higher speed sandisk 64GB.. that way when i get new Nexus/NOTE2/GS4 ect.. ill just buy the ones that have the lowest GB built inn and just popped the 64GB.. im good with a built in 16GB..got to love this SD slots coming from a iphone/ipad user..still like my apple stuff but its time for a change

question ? whats faster internal memory or the new Sandisk card when the phone reads it..i mean the Sandisk reads 30mb sec* i mean that plenty fast already..will there be a big difference when the phone reads the internal memory or the SD high read cards.?

will my class 4 32GB work good enough on the GS3? will there be like a little lag due to its a calss 4? or thats good enough?

NAND memory, the integrated one, is the one used in SSD disks. It is faster than SD cards
