How long for Verizon to release a 32GB Galaxy S5?


Maybe Verizon blocks it? Or maybe the s5 will have it. I had the s4 but never noticed it. This was the AT&T variant of the s4 I had but I usually buy my movies on vudu since they are ultraviolet and can be played on anything basically

Why does it always take forever for them to release a 32 GB version?

Because it probably doesn't sell well. Think about the average Joe who just uses the phone for those selfies, Facebook, calling and renting, music player the 16g is probably sufficient

Dunno if this helps or not but with the s5 you can use a 128gb sd card. This is a screen shot taken off of Verizon's website

You can but with 4.4.2 and future updates it doesn't mean much because apps can't just be installed to the SD card like with the s4 and note 3 before they updated to 4.4.2

I'm going for the S5. I'm going to use the Edge program with the 16GB and wait and see if Samsung decides to release a premium type device. If they do, I'll get the 32gb in that bad boy. Hopefully my local store will have some available as I didn't pre-order.

That is of course assuming its offered on Verizon and isn't a GSM only type or S.Korea only device. Now that would suck.

How in the world does that edge program work? I only have one line and it's on my 32GB S4.

Per Verizon corporate folks, the 32GB was about 10% of sales for the S4. They are constraining sales by not offering it. That said, Samsung apparently does not have a 32GB to offer, so perhaps not a global launch option. Wild how Apple has no problem launching multiple sizes AND colors for their launches. They also manage supply for key channel partners.

I will stick with my 32GB S4. Foxfi works on it, so a nice relic bonus :)
 
I have the S3 and looking to move to the S5 but definitely would not get the 16GB version, only the 32. Seems like an easy decision.....twice the internal storage for $50???. I skipped the S4, but when the S3 came out you had the option to order the 32GB model online at launch. You couldn't get it at the store, but they would ship online right away.
 
I completely agree! I have a 32gb SAMSUNG S3. I love it. I have a 32 GB in my phone as well. I never game, but what is the point in having an amazing camera with 16mp quality and only having 16GB capacity on the phone? I won't buy until 32GB is available. But I will say that I got my hands on the S5 today and it is very nice. I certainly hope Verizon doesn't drop the ball on this one!
 
I did the same thing. I have been really happy with the S3 but I am ready to have another phone. I won't accept 16GB. That seems like a ridiculous business move not to have them available at launch.
 
Seems that Samsung did not offer it. We would see it somewhere. ATT had a 32gb S4 within the launch window.

Samsung must have wanted to launch simple since they do not have the same channel control skills like Apple. That is one of Apple's positives- millions of devices and multiple sizes and colors to multiple carriers and regions.

Samsung loves bloat and low sku launches. To them the different region and carrier versions are enough. Multiplying that with multiple sizes and colors for those sizes would pop their logistical heads.
 
SD card not an option as I already have my 64 Gb and with a 128 I would have more room to add other things need 32 gb internal for apps only way. I will wait for something else and just keep my S4 32 gb maybe Note 4 will have 32 gb as the Note 3. Not going to pay good money for a phone that would be useless to me.
