32 v. 64 GB Nexus 6

[joe_m_p]

In reading through the forums, it seems the majority have opted for the 64 GB version of the Nexus 6. I was able to order the 32 GB phone from Motorola today but am wondering what you use that extra storage for. Movies, music, pictures, etc.?

My phone usually gets full when I make videos of my family with it. Especially when we travel and there is no internet connection it's the most frustrating experience. No way to backup on google+ or drive so I have to painfully choose what to delete to free up space.

I use the camera a lot and have an unnecessary number of apps. I can get a long with a 32gb just fine but I always buy more storage than I need. Can't add it later.

I'm buying mine outright and while I think 32gb is sufficient for me, I opted for the 64 just because it was only $50 more for double the storage.

I maxed out my credit card getting this phone. Had I not opted for overnight shipping I could have had the 64 GB version but I'll be ok with 32 GB since I have unlimited data and Google Drive for all of my backup needs.

13mp pictures will begin eating up an obnoxious amount of storage. I have four kids - there will be pics. Many pics. I could easily sink a few gigabytes at Disneyland in a day.

I also enjoy music. I've accepted that FLAC files simply aren't going to happen, but I refuse to go lower than 320. That's usually about 120mb an album and I'm 35...so that leads to a lot of albums in a collection. Also, I don't like clouds. I'll tolerate them and make use of their services but until I can listen to Black Sabbath in the deserts of Arizona or jam out some Dream Theater in the middle of the Pacific on a boat, clouds are bloody damn useless when I need them the most. I like things stored locally.

Factor in the ever-expanding size of apps/games and media in general, well...a little extra elbow room these days never hurts. lol

If you are buying from Google, Motorola, or T-Mobile the 64 GB is a no brainer in my opinion. The only reason to get 32 GB is if you are buying from Sprint or AT&T.

I originally was trying to obtain a 64GB. After some careful consideration, I realized that currently I'm working with total 32GB storage on my phone, unrooted (so I can't remove some pesky AT&T apps) for personal reasons.
I have the 16GB S4 with a 16GB SD attached. Neither of which is filled...

I saved the $50 and ordered successfully, having been left in the dust three times when attempting to snag a 64GB.

I would have gotten a 64GB had stock been available. To be honest, at the end of the day I don't really need it. I have ample Drive storage, and physical storage on external sources.

I went 64 GB just because it was only $50 on what was already going to be a $700 purchase... 32 with tax was going to be $710 ish and the 64 ended up being $747 and change...... I have a 32 GB Nexus 5 and with everything I do it still has over 18 GB of free space..... If I were going to sign another 2 year agreement and only pay $200 - 250 out of pocket 32 would have been just fine... but for what amounted to just about an 8% price increase over the other........ Why not..... I don't know why they didn't just go 64 only... Flash memory is not that expensive and the difference between 32 and 64 would of been just a few bucks.... the $50 "Premium" is almost all profit and just small enough that it didn't make much of a real difference anyway....

True, but getting a 64gb on Playstore/Moto is like hitting the lottery when it's 250million. LMAO

I'd like to have the 64 gb nexus 6, but it impossible to buy on the play store/Motorola website. I went with att pre-order.
I have the note 3 and with Samsungs and att bloat, I still have 17.5 gb free. I have music on my SD card but I haven't used it for awhile. I usually stream music and if I go on a trip I can download some and remove it later.
Plus I have about 4-5 cloud services that auto back up my pictures so I can delete those too if necessary.

What did AT&T put on it? My note 3 at t-mobile had around 21gb free and my note 4 on t-mobile had around 20 and my note 4 on Verizon had around 20 as well

A ton of apps.. I'll be honest, I was able to remove quite a few via the Application Manager, but there are ~10 I can't.
Just hogging space, lol.

Not that I need it, but still.

Ah.. They didn't do that much on the s4 which was the last phone I had with AT&T.

Just glad I got lucky with my Powerball Numbers.... I mean Motorola direct order.... now to see if they keep their promise of "Shipping on 11/13" I have a feeling if it ACTUALLY ships today it'll be like winning the lottery twice...

Normally, I'm good with 32gb. But the fact that there's a 64gb Nexus..... I can't pass that up.

Same with Ipad... Get as much memory as you can afford. Price per gigabyte is cheaper with the nexus 6 64 then 32 and same goes with ipads.
