Will the S8/S8+ have adoptable storage?

I'd like to know this also. But im guessing it wont since the last years model didnt offer it and most wanted it

 

[dpham00]

My guess is no. I didn't hear anything about it and the s7 and note 7 didn't

Very doubtful. Samsung isn't down with the adoptable storage.

Which is smart because it's not useful for data between devices. An app on an SD card treated with AS can't be swapped out between devices without some extra work.

Yeah, I'm with you on that. With 64gb available I definitely will have enough space for my apps. It's going to be great.

Yeah. I just think people don't grasp what adoptable storage means. They just read that it sees the card as internal storage and stop there.

I used adoptable storage on my S7 Edge for a while. Then I got nervous thinking that the card would go bad or that I'd remove the card and corrupt something so I turned it off.

Smart move! People should follow this....

Int. Storage = apps/app data only
Ext. Storage = everything else

That's exactly what I thought. 64 gigs internal is more than ample for my apps. I have my 256 gig sdxc card in my S7 Edge, which I will just transfer, for media (I have A LOT of full length movies), and I am all set. I had one of the ill fated Note 7s which had the 64 gig internal size, and it was storage heaven.

My thoughts exactly! To paraphrase Elle Wood in "Legally Blonde": "the rules of Smart Phone storage are simple and finite."
