Looking to buy a9 advice

[tedbearclaw]

Hello all looking to make the switch back to android and interested in the a9. Right now I have the option of grabbing a 16gb model. I know it has less ram than the 32 gb model but not so much worried about that. I am getting rid of my ip6 due to lack of storage. I know this has expandable storage so as a black and white suggestion would the 16gb work for me willist adding a larger sd card in the mix? Thanks in advance TBC

It would all depend on how much storage you need. I've added a 32 gb to my 32 and have more than enough room.

Hi Tedbearclaw. One thing to make sure, if you're going to be using Adoptable Storage on this pick up the fastest microSD card you can afford. Also make sure the manufacture is a well known, high quality one because if the card fails you'll have some major issues with the phone. You can not just take the microSD card in and out as was possible in older versions of Android. Here is a great story from Android Central going over everything you need to know about Adoptable Storage

Thanks actually when phone arrived it has 32 GB internal and added a 32 GB SD card as well. That's what I missed about Android. So far digging the new phone!!
