S6 memory

[DeanH]

I'm looking at buying a S6 a little disapointed that it is a fixed memory and you can't add a memeory card to it, can someone let me know how much memory the  OS uses - can't decide whether to go for the 32gb or 64gb.

Hi,

i would opt for the 64gb internal memory. 

This is explains pretty welll.

"Straight out of the box, the 32GB model will have a mere 23GB of free storage, with a whopping 9GB being taken up by Samsung’s firmware. More specifically, 6.5GB has been assigned to the operating system, with 2.5GB being allotted to stock applications, which can, of course, be disabled, but not uninstalled.

 
The 64GB variant will ship with around 54GB of clear space, whilst the beastly 128GB version will have 118GB free for all of your apps, documents, pictures, videos and music."

Have you considered the s7 edge. I use this and had expandable memory.

Thanks for the info, I was thinking the 64gb would be best option.

The S7 is out of budget at the present time as this is a replacement through insurance which they gave me cash settlement for my S5.

Now just need to find a decent 64gb for a good price.

You're welcome. 

Vodafone do some good deals. 

Have you perhaps considered highstreet shops such as CEX if your wanting to buy outright.?

Looking to buy the HS outright as once my contract is up will look at SIM only, never thought about CEX....

If your thinking of going SIM only then look at the 12 month option as this may provide better options than the 30 day ones.

CEX is a shop I've bought and sold to for many years. 

They themselves add a 24 month warranty on the phones too. 

Just take your sim with you to try it out just to ensure the phone accepts it ok. 

Or a person can order online.
