N8 Looking good but why is Samsung so stuck on low storage?

[Risley88]

Hi All,

The Note 8 is looking nice. However is there a reason why 64GB is the max in US versions? I get that it has SD storage but we all know read/write speeds between internal and SD cards is massively different.

I would love to see tiered pricing for different storage options, and of course still have the SD storage as a bonus.

Still, a nice looking device. Hoping battery life, call quality, etc is great or at least equal to the S8+

Ditto. I bet they release larger on board storage in a month or two. Just like they do with colors after the initial launch.

I wouldn't call 64GB "low storage". It's not like Apple who stuck with 16GB and even 32GB recently. My S8 has 64GB and I'm only using about 27GB. I put everything else on my microSD card.

Because 95 percent of their US market will never use more than 64gb of storage.

I consider 64 to be low storage, but hey like Henry Ford said.......

Because you can add a 256 gb microsd card.....that's why. 64 gb is more than enough for apps and games while you can use your microsd card for video, photos, files, and other stuff.

I've had my 32gb Note 4 for 3 years and am at 27 gb. So I'm personally good with 64
