Galaxy S4 AT&T Pre-Order - Only 16GB Available

[Pappy35]

For those of you who have had the S3 16 GB version, has anyone ever come close to filling up the internal storage of the 16 GB?

On my 16GB iPhone 4S, I was always clearing data due to the storage limit. With external SD cards that issue goes away. There will be games and such that might gobble up huge blocks of data on the internal storage but for me it's not a problem. I only need enough internal storage for the few apps I have.

I have a 32GB SD card that I use for media (photos, videos, my ENTIRE music library) and it's only about 1/2 full including numerous Nandroid backups.

How much is the contract price for the 16GB? $199.99??

 

[Pappy35]

That's what I paid plus tax and shipping. $236 I believe was the OTD cost. Someone on xda reported that Walmart is offereing a pre-order at $168 is you want to buy it from them.

I'm holding tight for at least the 32GB from Verizon.

I have not. On my ATT GS3 16GB, there is about over 11GB left to use. I currently have about 7GB free. I don't have many games, which take up the most space, but I do have about 185+ apps installed. I also have a 64GB MicroSDHC to hold my music/pictures/videos.

That being said, I am thinking if I started to download more games, that space would go a lot quicker.

So, I did go and preorder the 16GB GS4 but if the 32GB does become avail to preorder, I might switch it anyway, but I really don't know.

I'm thinking that myself. I have the 16 GB version pre-ordered but if and when the 32 GB version becomes ready for pre-ordering, I'll call that number on the AT&T business card I received and have him switch it out.

I just don't want to run out of room for apps and other various data as well. Plus, it's only $50 more so who cares. I can make that up easily with selling two phones that I have.

I figure that I'll get anywhere from $175 to $200 for each of the phones that I have.

Or you could just buy a 32GB micro sd card to use with the 16GB version. A 32GB card shouldn't cost $50, so it might be cheaper

Depends on your needs. If you want to stick 20GB of music on, the SD is a good solution. If you want to load a number of high-end games, which use a lot of internal space and cannot be moved to SD, the 32GB phone may be what you need.

 

[trparky]

I barely game on my phone at all. I think I only have one game on my phone and if I couldn't install it, I wouldn't miss it.

The only thing that I worry about as far as space is being to able to cache certain content such as content from Google Music. I don't think that Google Music can be configured to use a different path to store content other than /sdcard.

Or am I just worrying about things just to worry about things?

 

[ThirstyDog]

Any signs of a 32GB yet?

 

[Baldilocks]

I see the date has changed to the 23rd. Cool!!

AT&T changes the ship date for the Samsung Galaxy S4 to April 23rd

 

[trparky]

It changed back to the 30th. Crap.

If you play games on the device, the 16gb version is not enough. Wait for the 32gb version unless you want to app juggle.

You know...I went and pre-ordered mine today at Best Buy and they didn't even ask which Verizon version I wanted. Hmmmmm....

Well it is called an sd slot and getting a 32gb memory card. easy win.

 

[Hadron]

But you can't move apps to sd, so for some that isn't sufficient.

Anyone have a tracking number yet?

Anyone have a tracking number yet?

I haven't received a tracking number email yet. However when I log into my AT&T account and click on my orders the tracking number is right there.

 

[trparky]

I checked my order status at https://www.att.com/eos/unauth/eosLogin?productType=wireless and I don't have a tracking number yet. It still says "processing".

And yes, I did get that email message much like the rest of you.

Yep, that's where I logged in. Tracking info says it's coming from Ft. Worth Texas and will be to me in Oregon on thursday the 25th. Fedex is pretty good here so if it arrives before 7am tomorrow at their depot they will deliver it a day early. So let's hope!

To celebrate it's impending arrival I think I shall go brew beer!

 

[trparky]

I'm guessing that if you haven't gotten a tracking number by now, you aren't going to be getting one today. Crap.

 

[trparky]

I take that back. Scheduled to be delivered on Thursday.

But an understandable assumption users might make. Still very wrong, but understandable none the less.
