Love the looks of this phone, i want to upgrade to it except for one major thing

[Speccers]

I'm in the US, so that 32 gigs of on board storage is killer for me. I have an s7 Edge right now and have less than 20% free. I don't have any games on it, just tons of apps I use regularly enough that I don't like reinstalling them.

That quad dac/64gig version in asia would be perfect.

GRRRR... SD card storage is not adoptable on this phone is it?

The SD is not adoptable out of the box. I think ADB commands can change that though. Out of curiosity, can you show a screenshot of your storage stats?

I'd get it anyways - seems to be a great phone.

 

[Speccers]

yeah, I just gutted a bunch of my lower used apps so I'm up on like 24% free right now.

I may anyway, just cuz I can get it cheaper than my s7 edge, although I will lose my yearly upgrade option. and with only 32 gigs on board that worries me.

 

[Speccers]

bah, forgot to reply directly to you. See my post below.

You might save some space by shifting to LG. I think their version of Android is a little lighter. 12 GB of Apps though; What are the biggest offenders? I'm not saying to ditch them...merely curious.

Otherwise, your biggest consumer of your storage is the system. On my 32 GB Pixel I only have 5.xx GB for the system (this is only to illustrate how much extra stuff is in Samsung's version of Android).

I hear ya. I don't use alot of apps, but I take alot of photos and videos. Saving them to internal storage over the SD card works much better for me. Luckily, my remaining 16 gigs is enough to snap away and hold on to them until I get back on wi-fi.

64GB should be the standard for flagships.

audible and google play music are the only ones over 1 gig. Strangely they are both set to store on my SD card, not sure why they show using so much internal storage.

Are your songs downloaded? Do you have a plan that is streaming friendly?

They are downloaded, but set to be stored on SD card vs internal, same with audible. meh, 5 people sharing 20 gigs, I only have 2 playlists downloaded, neither big. and like 4 books.

My internal storage is 64GB with Tmo. I thought US has the 64 GB version.

Nope us versions are supposed to be 32. The vzw ones are for sure. Only one I thought with 64 was asia

Doubly interesting that TMO sight shows 32 gigs.

Randomly sprinkling 64gb modules into the US variant production line.

Why not take advantage of Google Play Photo? Uploads everything there and you can delete them from the G6 to free up space.

Did you install a 32GB SD Card by chance? I just picked up a G6 today and installed a 32GB SD Card I had lying around before I activated it. Then as I was browsing through the menus I saw "Storage 11.71 GB used of 61.71 GB". I did a double-take at first, but realized it was combining my 32GB SD Card with the 32GB internal memory and just displaying the total on the settings menu. Once I clicked on the memory, I saw it was divided between Internal and SD.

You can't if you have the T-Mobile one. If you bought another one and put in a T-Mobile SIM that's another thing.
