This is only for people who actually open to ideas, not for people who just want to ***** and moan.
I wanna buy the 8GB, for every day use it will be perfect for me, but for the odd case where I go on a long plane journey and don't want to take my tablet, I wondered if there is solution...and then I realised there was, and it's ultra compact.
USB on the Go is the saviour here. Pair this adapter with this tiny USB stick and you suddenly have 32GB extra space.
If your feeling more adventurous, you could go down this DIY route too, very cool and I might be trying this myself
But how is this implemented on the software side? Does stock android support this?
sure, usb host ist what you need

Yeap that's possible, but absent of miniSD card is a big deal breaker for me considering this is just only 8GB - and there's a nice article at http://www.androidpolice.com, why this is so cheap considering this is unlocked phone. It sounds like Google did sacrifice some specs make the cost down and more affordable.
I have Samsung Galaxy S III with 16GB, and plust 32GB sd card, I am already running out space since I save a lot of musics, and games on my sd card and since we all carry the phone with us (not like 10 inch tablet), it makes better sense to have bigger space on your phone.
so really 8GB quite deal breaker.
Don't think that I am *****ing and moanning about it, Nexus 4 specs quite amazing and looks premium quality, and what you said about USB stick would work just fine, but just wanted to share my 5 cent opinion here.
I think that this could work. Im also looking to buy the 8gb flavor.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying everyone will be happy with 8GB, I just didn't want people coming in here just to moan. It's down to cost, and if you need more space, that's cool.
16GB is enough for me, and if I need more space I'll use dropbox/google drive
Of course I would prefer microSD slot, but... I guess for 350$ which includes S4 Pro, 2GB RAM, 2100mAh battery, two cameras and its a nexus, we can't complain about anything!!

Yeah, the lack of storage and no sd card for me is also a deal breaker. It's such a shame because I'm really excited about the device. The price here in the UK is so low for what appears to be a high end device, it's amazing. In fact, I've never felt so conflicted about a device. I really want it, but I know it won't hit the mark, purely for lack of storage. With games like NOVA 3 taking up 3GB, plus my sat nav requiring almost 2GB, there won't be much space for other stuff. Data coverage where I live is pretty hit and miss so streaming media from the cloud still isn't a viable alternative for me yet which is a shame. Perhaps it will at least help to drive down the price of other handsets that have high end SoC?
I think the OP's suggestion is a very good one. This approach works well most of the time on a Galaxy Note, as long as it's just a flash drive or micro SD card that the phone can successfully power. I wonder if there would be a way to toggle something like 'directory bind' on and off so that you could put music/media/data files for games on a micro sd card, then just plug it in when you need, change the path of the internal SD card to the external one, then fire up a game. That would be a reasonable compromise from my perspective.
Such a shame, it's so cheap
I don't understand the people who want to buy the 8gb version. Its only a little bit more for the 16gb version.
.. and don't say its because you can't afford it.. because if this phone was the same price range as the galaxy nexus or any other high end smart phone you would still buy it.
Just pay that little bit extra and get double the space.
I have a USB-OTG cable and a USB microSD card reader so I would just buy another 16GB/32GB card and carry that around with me. It is easy to take out and plug in and easy to put away when not needed.
Hey guy's. My Girlfriend got a Galaxy Nexus and YES USB-OTG is part of the Chipset Configuration the GN comes with! The Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 Chipset supports OTG as well. In the pure Android-Roms the Nexus Devices are running the Firmware supports OTG by default. As I know it's included in the kernel... so no need to create a problem!!!
buy a OTG Adapter - 1,99€ on Amaz...
buy a USB Stick 32Gb. - 12,00€ even on Amaz..
buy a LG NEXUS 4 16GB - 349,00€
= 362,99€ complete!
so if you compare this the other "leading devices" you save up to 200€!!! so you see, no need to spend tears and cry.... Start smiling cause you got a few buck's left to buy some Christmas presents for the family!
I use Google Music and sync my photos to my 50GB dropbox account (thank you Samsung!). 16GB is more than I ever need. The only time I get close to using that much is if I'm dual booting 2 different roms.
I do this with my Nexus 7 and plan to continue doing it with the Nexus 4! Really useful when I want to stick a film or tv show on there and watch on the go.

Yes this would work. I personally have done it with my Gnexus and nexus 7. However, you have to be very careful with that thing sticking out of your phone. It could be very easy to knock the phone over or drop it or something and I would be concerned about hurting the stuff inside the phone.
good alternative... currently have the 16GB NS4G and was really excited when i saw the tweet about the N4 and N10 today... disappointed by no Verizon/Sprint compatibility tho... this definitely would've been my next phone if i could use it on these networks...
question about his alternative tho... is 32GB the limit it can read or can you go up to something like 64GB storage as well??

Why do you need so much space? I'm using an Xperia S right now, with 32GB and I've got over half of it free. 18GB free to be precise, but I haven't been deleting photos and such that I don't need, so they're at 1.3GB.

Hi guys, I am trying to buy a "SanDisk Mobile Premier 2GB Micro SD high speed", I believe it is fit for Kaiser, right?
Yep that'll work fine; be wary of buying on eBay as many tend to be fakes. Buy from a trusted reseller. I have got a 6GB for less than £40 delivered.
If your in the US, you can get great deals @ newegg.com
I purchased my 2gb microsd for 19.99, and 3 day ups is standard shipping.(costs like 3-5 dollars, on some cases its free shipping)
it supports cards over 2GB (Micro SDHC); i have a 2GB Micro SD for now, waiting for a 10-15GB model of the SDHC's to come out so i can dump all my music on it and ditch my iPod
dunno where ive got this from but i think/heard/got the vibe that the kaiser can only support up to 8gb sdhc?
that's great, I was think about a 2GB one but seems like it is not enough? Does Kaiser a good music/video player?

If 8GB is the most the Kaiser will support, then so be it.

if you have a 1-2GB micro SD card now, i'd wait a while unless your dying for memory space; they are bound to up the read/write speeds and lower the prices. I teach digital photography, a few years back read/write speeds of memory cards mattered a LOT, nowadays most D-SLR's have a huge cache so a superfast memory card isnt such a big deal, and the prices are fairly decent. My bet is in 6 months an 8 gig Ultra II Micro SDHC shouldnt be more than $60.
thats great to hear RacerX10; even 10-15GB should effectively mean i dont need to drag my laptop and iPod everywhere; 32GB means pretty much ALL my media with me.
SDHC spec is up to 32gig, today the max you can actually buy is 6gig. By the time you can actually buy a 32gig, we'll be using different phones like TyTN III

6GB Micro SDHCs are available - Sandisk seems to be th eonly real supplier at this moment. I'm sure others will have theirs out soon too. I just bought one from www.mydigitaldiscount.com in the US. Got it with no issues, and I've filled 4.5GB of it with music and video.
8GB MicroSDHCs are targeted for release probably around the end of the year. Again, Sandisk will be the first supplier.
No one has even announced an official "coming soon" statement for anything bigger than 8GB yet.

Kaiser is a real good video player(Using TCPMP), but it also depends on the format.
My favorite, and In my opinion, the best format is .m4v (You may need a special convertor for that)
Other formats are either 2 big, or has really choppy playback.
Also you should increase your font and glyph cache to 32768 (makes things more responsive/ smoother)
the SDA SD Card Association has never quite said the 'maximum' size of a Micro SD; there is a theoretical maximum of 32 GB, hence the 'limit' at the moment, which IMO means merely a new 'type' of SD card in a year or two. as for hardware that reads them, there likely is a maximum size they can read.
Currently Samsung has an 8GB Micro SD in development, Kingston and Sandisk are sure to be right behind anyways. besides, its just a memory card; i have piles of 128MB Memory Stick Pro Duo's that i bought for my Sony S710a when it first came out, and 128MB was still a fairly sizeable card for a cell phone; now we're talking 6-8+ gigs...

Crazy how my 16gb Tab has filled up so quickly.
I know Samsung dumped a load of stuff on it but I don't have any music on it, few vids, but the games take up quite a lot.
Wish I had gone for 32gb now.
Are USB STicks effective? Might need to get a 32gb one.
You can use an usb, I use that for my movies instead of on the tab.

You should store video on usb, remove old games, and clean rubbish file on your tab.
I know the feeling but i got back space by streaming music and movies. I use my tab at home so I have no need to put music & video on the tab. Maybe you should consider it.

Best thing I've found to do is keep a stock of films on the external card and when you want to watch one copy it to the internal card and detach. Only takes a couple of minutes and then you can watch them normally without having to have it up side down.
It is very annoying that they didn't include an SD slot in this thing. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it, but then they want to sell the higher volume ones for an extra $100 like Apple... Bah.
For me I don't tend to put films or music on it, so I have plenty of space since it's all just apps and books. My music all goes on my phone, and I stream films on Netflix. Problem is that I don't have films where there's no Wi-Fi, but I've considered using rental for those situations.
One option is cloud solutions like dropbox... You can always store your movies in your dropbox folder on PC and download them from the app when you want to watch them...
What about large HD movie files (> 4 GB)? I understand that NTFS flash drives can't be read, and as far as I know files > 4 GB can't be written on FAT32?
Would like to know the answer to this, too. What is everyone using to connect to the unit, how is it formatted. And how fricking STUPID is it that these moron companies are not adding SD slots to these things? I mean are they seriously that stupid?!? Good grief....how dumb....
As sad as it sounds, companies sell tablets with no external storage option because we (and consumers that just plain don't know any better) keep buying them. Granted, it's a self-licking ice cream cone situation - SD slotless tablets are produced to cut corners and the bottom line, consumers keep buying them (even buying more - the tablet market is the strongest it's ever been) because that's all there is available: therefore companies are justified saving a few cents on each tablet they sell that lacks an SD slot.
The perfect way to change a "standard." Force the market to skew a certain direction and use that as an "indicator" to what consumers want.

Not stupid, just greedy. They want to sell you a 32GB, 64GB etc. version for a good chunk of extra money at next to no cost to them, like Apple.
Contrary to some ppl I think removing SD card is not such a big deal. It makes the tab cheaper and saves me money. If I need extra data I have two adapters for usb devices and flash memory allowing me to get what I want.
Personally I find it wiser for my budget.

Having sd card slot on honeycomb is not really a good thing. On the stock galaxy tab 7.7 the sdcard is mounted as read only, can only write with system apps. (unless you root that is) .. thats why all my gaming emulator roms had to be on the internal storage.
With google increasing the limit from 50mb to 4gb .. we gonna need more internal storage.
Attach is my 16gb tab 7.7 .. slowly reaching its limit.. even with only 84 apps installed.
........and 64gb of read only media which no app can modify
you can share your computer as a NAS storage,very easy
In Spain it is very difficult to find GT's with more than 16 GB in retail stores. I had to purchase a 16 GB version of my GT 8.9 3G and I find it somewhat short of storage capacity. 64 GB is maybe too much but the sweet spot is definitively 32 GB, that should be the minimum for tablets.
I think everyone wants to know one if literally anyone would get the 8gb if so why, and if you are getting 16gb why as well.

I'm getting the 8gb. I use Google they way they want me to: Google Music, Google Drive, stream movies and tv shows, and I'm not much of a phone gamer, so I only have about 300mb in apps. If I want to have music offline, I just choose my playlists for on device music in Google Play. Plus, I remove a bunch of useless system apps that frees up my device even more and the rom usually only totals out to be 150-200mb. If I want to save a couple movies on my phone, standard movies usually are about 300-700mb.
16 gig. 8 gig is too low for me. You will rely too much on mobile net and clouds if you will be getting 8 gig.
Why not 32 at the same price?
I don't understand why to do the 8GB..

All my Samsungs have a MicroSD card that goes unused, and 16GB that sits a quarter full. 16GB is overkill. It's a phone FFS. I'm getting the 8GB because it's way more than enough.
8gb folks should rethink this. The Nexus 7 8gb was slower because it used cheaper slow memory. Apparently the Asus Vivo Windows RT tablet is slower than the surface too despite using the exact same internals and software.
That is Asus though. I don't think LG is as sketchy as Asus and Acer but just something to keep in mind.
16gb also ups your resale value quite a bit. So that in a year or two you decide that you really need LTE, you have a wider range of potential customers, customers that need 16gb.

Realistically need 8gb, but will buy 16gb because I plan to use it for 2 years instead of 1 and take a lot more pictures and videos this time, since the phone is fast enough to do that.
I deleted quite a bit... and don't have many apps downloaded. It's possible to have the 8 GB if you're like me lol. Videos and pics of my 2.5 year old daughter plus ROM downloads/ nandroids make up the bulk of it.

Personally, I'm using a 32GB and it's doing me just fine. I wanted to get a 64GB after seeing that deal, but couldn't justify it at that price. Whenever 64GB cards normalize down to about $40 or less, I might upgrade, but for now a 32GB card is fine for me. I only paid $20 for my 32GB card and it works quite well.
I had a 32 gig that I was using in my Note 1, but I ran out of space, so bought the 64 gig a couple of weeks ago. When you have a few different ROMs, titanium backups, nandroid backups, movies and mp3s on there, it adds up pretty quickly.

a class 2 card will do just fine for 99% users...it's gonna suck if someone is putting tons of data on it at one time but the acutal functionality of it will be juuuuuust fine...
i, ordered this thing http://dx.com/p/sd-to-microsd-transflash-card-converter-module-27001 and will attempt to use a 128GB SD card in my Note II...i performed a rather crude experiment to see if it could fit under the battery cover...it buldges a tiny bit but it's hardly noticeable...
worst case scenario i'll have a 128 gig sd card laying around...LOL
Do they even make class 2 64gb cards?
I think the cheapest I've seen are class 6 at that capacity.

Seller seems to have decent reviews though. Not sure if I should take the risk? For $15.88 it cant be too much of a risk right?

storage cards are like women...the good ones aren't cheap and the cheap ones aren't good...
I got mine from eBay just before I got the phone for about 63 bucks. It's a "SanDisk 64GB Mobile Ultra microSD SDXC Card 30MB/s Class 10" and it's great!

Well, the risk depends on how much your data is worth to you.
I don't see the point in trying to save money by getting "cheap" memory.
If it fails, you're f&cked.
There's always a chance of memory failing, but the chance is higher if it's a cheap copy.
Cheap batteries, cases, adaptors etc. are a "try it, and if it breaks, has a short life span, or doesn't work properly, I'll buy another one" situation.
If your SD card fails and you haven't copied your photos, or whatever, to another location, buying another SD card won't be much use.

I agree with everyone so far. There are a lot of fakes being sold..ultimately it's your decision. If u do decide though..if it's legit u can check the serial number with sandisk..if that's good then ur lucky..and that seller probably is selling stolen goods..
I got mine from bb and it was $55 including tax. I know radio shack had them at $39.99 once..and I'm waiting for it again..u never know..and that's a fair price

Well I got this one:
http://www.ebay.ch/itm/Micro-SDXC-C..._Handy_PDA_Speicherkarten&hash=item2c69b48295
and its worth every penny... If you want some speed, get the best one in a box so yo really know that you have not been ripped off.
If you could afford SGN2 I suppose you can afford an OEM Micro SDXC
I recommend getting a class 10 64 gigabyte microSD card and partitioning it into 2 partitions, one for your files and one for your apps. Then use Link2SD and you can automatically install apps on the second partition. This way you will worry less about filling up your 16 gigabyte internal storage. This is what I was doing on my Galaxy S3.

I would buy a cheap memory card. I have mines in sync for dropbox so at worse I would lose the pictures from that past hour. Mines is a cheap Microcenter 32GB class 10. They offered me same day replacement if it fails.
I would never even consider getting a cheap battery. If it breaks or doesn't work properly it could take my phone with it. I had some cheap batteries before for the old epic 4g. Both of the batteries started to develop cracks around the body despite not being damage. That could have caused problems if I hadn't notice. Cheap cases could scratch your phone and sometimes the expensive one could too but I don't hear about it as often as I do with the cheap ones.
Adapters really depends on what they are for. I heard, don't know for a fact, that some of the off brand MHL adapters for our device don't always work and when they do they aren't as good as doing 1 to 1 as the Samsung adapter are. I would love to see someone test out the different ones to see if there is actually a difference. With monster HDMI and normal HDMI there might actually be a difference but as long as there is enough data it will form the same signal which means they both should work the same despite the difference in the amount of data transferred. But with audio, cables can make a world of a difference.

Thanks on the Link, wasn't a 100% on all the class speeds and what not and this helped. I just popped in my old 8gb card from my previous phone and was looking to grab a 64Gb card and it looks that it will be a class10.
Just got my Sandisk 64GB Ultra. Got it from newegg and works great so far. Tested it with H2W to make sure it was really 60GB

I am currently on a nexus 4. I had this for a few years and never had an issue with storage. I kept it light since it only had 16gbs. i had a oneplus one for a little while and used about 15gbs for games, music and all that. Now i ordered a nexus 6 on 11/5 from the google play store a 32 blue. I was aiming for the 64 but thought if i didn't get the 32 i wouldn't get a phone at all. So i nabbed it real quick. Now I am still debating over getting the extra storage. I managed on my nexus 4 but the extra space just seems nice. What made you choose the one you chose?
You do know that the Nexus 4 were 8 & 16GB devices, right?
I thought the Nexus 4 only came in 8 and 16gb variants. I've had an 8gb nexus 4 that I've been using for the past 18 months. Once you get past the space reserved for the system usage, I get 5.67gb of available space. I'd say I ran out of space for music and videos and stuff about 6 months ago and I've been resorting to dropbox, google drive, streaming and the like to keep myself entertained.
This time i went with the 64gb because I'd like to not worry about running out of space. 32gb sounds sufficient now, but in 24 months it probably won't be. Also going from $299 for 8gb to $349 for 16gb seemed like a lot of extra money for a little extra storage space, but going from $649 to $699 is like a drop in the bucket by comparison.
The nexus 4 was only sold in 8/16 GB models. Not 32GB. However, I ordered a 64gb because i always error on the side of caution and would rather pay a little more now then realize i need more storage down the road and not be able to do anything about it. Plus I hear the new run time uses about twice as much space for apps because of the cache.
64gb minimum.
I'd personally like 128gb.
32gb or less is pants in this day and age.
My last 2 phones have been 32 and I have never had a problem but I'm not one to keep useless Crap on my phone either. I don't play games. I always go through my pictures and delete bad or useless photos. How much damn music can u listen to. I mean really, people put 10gb of music on their phone and probably never listen to 98% of it. With all that said I like to go ever board on most things so I would have gotten the 64gb if I had the option at the time but for me 32gb will do just fine and I can spend the money saved on ammo.

256 ~ 384GB.
Loseless musics and RAW pictures and 2K resolution videos need large enough space of storage

I have 50gb of music on my Note 4 - All Wav Full size - Whether I listen to it is irrelevant, 64gb should be minimum.
Google need to get their act together or put a micro sd slot in their phones
I'd be fine with an 16gb device, so 32gb will do just fine.
32gb is ok for me as I dont put a lot of music on or vids, mostly stream content, but if they offered it in USB3 i would get 64gb so I could use it to transfer data and a portable hdd. Otherwise it takes ages to transfer stuff
I own 16GB Nexus 5 and it has 4GB free available.
But, that's because I don't install games, only 1. And I don't store music / video in it.
With Nexus 6, I plan to get the 64GB, although 32GB would be enough.
Why 64GB? Think about 4K videos, that might be cool, no? And that requires more space. Also 13 MP photos compared to 8 MP of Nexus 5, more space needed.
Lastly, because I intent to keep this "expensive" device for at least 2 years .... 64GB is more preferred!

I agree. I wish companies would start offering 128 options or even 256. How hard is it to even offer that much storage?
I've never even used the full 8 on my N4. I'm good with 32.

This is the thing. I'm considering going for the 64 again. It just feels nice to know you do not have to worry about space at all. I plan on putting games on my device because it seems perfect for gaming. 4k video does take a lot of space, so i am not sure what to do. I could have ordered a 64 from motorola but hesitated lol.
I"m one of those who was sad to see Google abolish the SD card from the Nexus devices, and was torn between getting a phone with bloat, but expandable storage, or a clean phone with no such abilities. I ultimately went for the latter, and was really worried that 32GB wouldn't be enough. In reality though, 32GB has proven more than enough. I'm sure I'll never even come close to filling it up, short of stuffing a lot of HD movies in there.
That said... I ordered the 64GB version of the Nexus 6, basically, for no other reason than I felt if I was willing to shell out $650 for a 32GB device, I might as well spend the other $50 for double the storage. Had that model been $100 more, I'm sure I'd have stuck with the 32GB phone and been fine. I guess we all have our lines in the sand.

LOL. You're using the fruit company as an example why not to use big storage?
Last I checked, the 256 GB SSD I have in my laptop was purring along quite happily, no issues at all.
You can't use one bad implementation as an example why something is globally a bad idea. In fact, you should probably assume that the problems apple is having, is either related to their specific chip supplier, or a flaw in the storage format they use. Note that the fruit company uses their HFS storage format, which may not be well tested on 128 GB flash media, and is used exclusively on a subset of consumer devices. Android uses EXT4, which is very well tested on 128 GB flash media, and deployed on things like SERVERS all around the world, proven very robust.

^^ That.
Given the difference of $50 and the *lack of an MMC slot*, I consider it a no-brainer to get the big one. If you ever end up *needing* the space, you will be kicking yourself for buying the small one.
Being a crack flasher, I need MOAR storage. 64 GB should be fine for me.
