Did I hear correctly? 64GB?

**Ntchwaidumela** · 05-03-2012, 02:31 PM

Did I hear Phil correctly? Will this thing handle a 64GB micro SD card without problems? It seems some/many of the newly released phones will already allow you to use them. So I'm sure this one will too. But is it specified?

I heard that too

Thank you DD. You're so very helpful.

That's a ridiculous amount of memory. Who needs a possible 128gb of storage on a phone?

Wrong question. You should be asking:

"Who DOESN'T need a possible 128gb of storage on a phone?"

I certainly don't need 128GB on a phone...but if I had it I could fill it up in a second - well maybe a few hours but it would be easy!

32GB is the minimum for me right now.

**E_man** · 05-03-2012, 07:42 PM

I just hope it isn't $100 per storage allotment. It doesn't cost nearly $100 to add 16GB to get to 32GB, nor even to add another 32GB for 64GB.

I wonder how long it takes to scan the media on a 64 gig card?

I've got a 32 gig in my GSII right now and I can't imagine filling it up (although I am likely closer than I realize)

**Tkbredx** · 05-03-2012, 10:33 PM

Google Drive + Google Music + Drop Box = 16 Gigs is more than enough for me

lol

This is my point. What does someone fill that kind of space with these days? I use about 4 right now and 3 of it is CWM.

**Mellimel22** · 05-03-2012, 10:56 PM

More space is better than less, for many of us. I have a lot of uses for that much space. And I'm getting more every day.....

Hahahaha. 13GB of music is brutal for me on a reboot with my Vibrant. It would be nice if the Android Media Scanner was optimized to use 4 cores. Then it would be a non-issue...especially for battery swappers like myself who reboot often.

**20blks** · 05-04-2012, 10:19 AM

Clouds are nice and all but I'm on AT&T with 2gb of data. I need as much storage as possible. 128 sounds good to me.

Yeah but streaming all that would kill your data in no time.

Not if your on SPRINT

lol

With the way data is being made and the files only getting bigger and bigger. We need all the space we can get. If you by movies now a days they come with the digital file. For long trips it would be good to put them all on the phone and watch them whenever you want. For business people, you can use all that space too.

**Tsudeily** · 05-04-2012, 12:48 PM

Having a 64gb memory card, or a 64gb model of the phone, if I heard right, will be fantastic. On my 32gb iPod touch, I have it crammed with videos, games, apps and music. I have more that I would want on it, but no room. The 64gb sd card option will be a greaaaat addition for me.

Most people are not in sprint. And sprint data is so slow, and sprint will eventually limit their data.

No sprint is not slow number one i het about 2 mb down on 3g and the ceo already said sprint will stay unlimited

I'm glad you're speeds are remarkable, mine are not. If it weren't for WiFi I wouldn't be able to use my phone.

Tappin' from my SGP 5.0

64 GB micro SD cards are being sold on eBay right now for about $91.

I'm sure that, if the GSIII comes in 16, 32 and 64 GB variations, pricing will be an important factor. But a 16 or 32, with provision for a 64 micro SD.... Now you're talking!
