Am I alone thinking that the LG G6 doesn't get enough coverage?

Media my friend.

But as I said we can just agree to disagree but please don't sit and dictate to me on what I need as if you know more then what I know about .. well myself and my uses .

I'm not dictating what you need, you clearly showed me what you needed.

And a hard drive that is only 50gb will perform the same as a 250gb drive that you only use 30gb of space for.

Same logic.

We aren't talking about performance at all here. We're talking about need vs want.

Performance is included in the concept that SD is an acceptable replacement for internal storage. It isn't. It's slower, less stable and most importantly, less secure. Performance is absolutely relevant.

I'm not dictating what you need, you clearly showed me what you needed.

And as I said that is you acting (mainly assuming) as if I won't ever download media or download any other apps again .. which is highly incorrect.

Just looking at Verizon's prices. A $672 32 GB vs a $756 64 GB device? 32 GB more storage for $75? + a better processor, better camera, better display, etc included in the same $75? Yes. Every day of the week, yes.

You clearly did not read anything that I posted when this started.

500 at T-Mobile vs 750. All other specs are subjective and half of the "features" aren't even fully functional. The absolute only thing we compared was storage for a reason. Many of us on here feel the G6 is superior in every other way, hence the subjective comment.

Based on everything you've shown it appears blatantly obvious that 32gb is more than enough for not only most people but also you.

If someone wants to pay an extra $250 for storage they are likely to never use with the addition of an SD card then by all means do so. To keep knocking the G6 for having 32gb, which as you have shown is plenty due to the ability to add a SD card, seems pointless. Especially considering the substantial cost savings.

He has 51 GB of space used - how is 32 GB enough?

And as was stated, that's where the SD card comes in

Where is it all? Seems to me he uses an SD card even with 64gb onboard.

None of what I listed was subjective. The camera, display, SoC and storage being superior are objective statements. Those are facts. And a sale price shouldn't be compared, because you can get 2 S8's from T-Mobile for the price of one, so $375 each vs $500 in that case. The S8 is thus cheaper and better.

Silly argument.

G6 is also BOGO so if you wanna go that route it's 250.

As far as subjective, I don't believe the s8 is superior in any of those categories and many of us on here feel that way. Therefore subjective.

And as already established, an SD card is NOT an acceptable substitute for internal storage. The SD card slot is completely discounted and ignored when comparing internal storage vs internal storage.

To you maybe. But the majority of users it is. Remove your personal wishes and look at facts. Even with 64gb of storage people are still relying on an SD card for media.

Disagree. But have a good one! .

SD is irrelevant when comparing internal to internal. Both devices you're comparing have both in common, so discount it. Then tell me which is higher, 32 or 64? My wishes are not included in the math there, I think it's a fact that 64 > 32, but if I'm wrong, please detail that. The fact that SD cards are slower, less stable and less secure are also objective, established facts. But since both devices contain it, they cancel each other out.

So back to the original post. You feel the extra $250 is worth an additional 32gb of storage that the majority, not you, of people will never use?

The rest of the specs become irrelevant because they are subjective. You feel the S8 "features" are better and I feel the G6 is better. So that is a wash between us. Now all that's left to decide is if you feel that extra $250 was worth 32gb of storage vs $45 for an 128gb SD card.

That was the entire point of my first post.

I feel that the $75 price difference is easily accounted for in the additional storage, let alone the better display, better security, better SoC and better camera, none of which are subjective in any way. Every single one of them is objectively better on the S8.

They're not subjective. Stating that they are subjective is disingenuous unless you're just not sure what I mean by their relative positions to each other in objective measurements.

Throwing one or both phones on sale is just a red herring and distracts from an apple's to apples comparison. The price difference when not on sale is $75, not $250. Getting a $675 phone for $500 is a sale and a good deal, it is not the MSRP.

But even with both points above, if you're asking would I pay $75 for 32 GB more storage instead of using an SD card for $45? Hell yes. Because internal storage is objectively better.

Again, those are your opinions that the display is better, or the camera is better. Many of us on here do not feel they are. So yes it is subjective to personal use and opinion. I feel the camera is better on the G6, the display is better to me on the G6 and I didn't notice any real world difference in the SoC. So I'm not sure why you think your opinion dictates fact but it doesn't no matter how you cut it.

As for the price, I paid $500 for the G6 and $850 for the S8+. Those prices are still true today and exactly what I compared to in my original post. Therefore the basis of my original post that you seem to be ignoring.

So again, in my comparison and original post, the question at this moment still remains. Do you feel $250 is justifiable for 32gb more internal storage that the majority of people won't ever need or use? The remaining comparisons between the 2 phones are irrelevant due to the fact that not everybody shares the same opinion as you in regards to "features" and specs.

All I'll say is, I love using an SD card.

As do many of us and clearly what some people in this thread seem to be missing. Even a person arguing for the increased cost of additional on board storage primarily uses a SD card even with 64gb of onboard storage.

I'll take a $500 phone with all the bells and whistles and more storage than the average user will utilize over a $750 phone with all the bells and whistles and even more storage than the average user will ever utilize.

How exactly do you think the display, SoC and camera rankings are my opinion? Those are objective facts. They're not subject to opinions. You can't wish or feel something into superiority over another, it is or isn't. The S8 is objectively the best display on any Android phone to date. The 835 is objectively faster and more efficient than the 820/1, etc. There's no debate on that, these are things that are measured - so we merely look at the data. If you're saying you prefer an inferior thing to a superior thing, that's totally cool, but your preference does not impact the actual rankings as those are objective facts that exist outside of your opinions. 64 GB is also always larger than 32 GB, regardless of whether or not you feel you need more than 32, 64 is still more. Math is also pretty objective on points like that.

The G6 flat display is superior to curved, the G6 LCD does not have a burn in issue and therefore superior, the camera is true to life and sharper, therefore superior, the chipsets offer me no advantage one way or another and therefore it's a wash. The wide angle lens is in a world of its own and also superior.

These are all opinions and since they vary user to user they are anything but fact. I'm not sure why you think your opinion is anymore a fact than mine but it isn't.

As for the storage, $250 isn't worth 32gb for me so therefore the G6 is a much better value.
