Any trouble making 32gb work for you?

[Failure2Comply]

I have a Note 4 with a 64gb sd card, neither are full but together are using about 30gb. I can scale down some apps and pics but wonder why a 64gb version was not offered. I would be all over it with 64gb.
thanks.

You'd probably want to get 64 then. If you plan on keeping this phone for a year or longer the price difference isn't much. And you avoid the problem of having to delete stuff frequently or having to change your usage just to stay under the storage capacity. The 32 GB model has about 24 GB available, whereas the 64 GB model is upwards of 50

But there's not a 64 GB version of the 5X; the largest option is the 32 GB.

I thought the 5x only came in 16 or 32gb?

The goal was to make a successor to the 5 and the 5x is it in specs and pricing. I think putting in more storage would have changed the price structure--probably the same reason the 5x only got 2GB RAM.

I live in the Google Cloud. I store very little on the device itself. Music comes from Google Play Music, and photos are in Google Photos (maybe a dozen are on the device at any one time). I keep only apps that I actually use on the device--everything else just gets loaded when I need it.

I suspect that Google likes people like me as I'm completely hooked on all of their services....and this is yet another reason why a bigger storage option may not have been offered.

The size and other specs of the phone are what drives me to it plus Google Android updates. I had an S3, then a Note 3, and now a Note 4. The Note is just starting to feel too big and cumbersome, the 5.2" screen is very appealing.

Whoops, you are correct. My bad

Newegg has item# 9SIA12K35U1383

Which might be a possible solution to storage issues.

Embed that into a case/bumper with pass through for charging and you have a winner . . .
