Even though the 128gb isn't confirmed I feel like it would be jumping the gun so to speak if I ordered the 64gb this early.
I have a 64gb card that's almost full and my internal 32gb at 18gb, it would be nice to get all that stuff on the 5 without having to pick and choose to what to put on.
Thoughts?
Who in their right mind going to hold out when something isn't even available?

I have a hard time believing Samsung would build 128gb S6s but not a 128gb Note 5.
It does exist, it was listed in the website, and it had its own product code. They just don't want to release it now for some reason. I'm getting a 64gb now and will probably use my remaining Jump upgrade to get a silver 128gb if it becomes available later.
Silver 128gb....drool

I am holding out for the 128gb. I really think it will come. If not, I am probably the only Samsung fan who is willing to forgive them this time as long as they correct it next year. I have Samsung TVs, phones, and tablets. They have all been amazing and I am not going to let this 1 mistake make me jump ship.

Yeah I think I would forgive them. I'm going through my 96gb of stuff to see whats junk and whats not, maybe I could use 64gb total.
My note 3 has been an absolute workhorse with not a single issue except a little burn in on the status bar. I'm super pumped for a stellar camera in the Note 5.

Yea. I usually download movies which take up the most space obviously but move them to my external hard drive. To be honest this has made me start looking at cloud storage which is not at bad as I thought. $9.99 for 1 TB a month. Not too bad. I really think in 3 years or less no phone will offer a micro SD. However, the lack of a 128gb phone is unacceptable but forgivable...this time. I am also stoked for the gear s2. Looks promising. Just hoping it comes with Samsung pay.

I doubt there will be one- at least not this year. Samsung is not going to see much business for a $1,000 device, but will for the 32GB and 64GB (which is high enough price). Apple gets away with it due to their ecosystem, but Android people can go to other devices and not lose their apps invested in, plus no iTunes or any other accessory purchased. Even if Samsung wanted to carriers would have to carry it which is even less likely. Soon the iPhone blitz will be hitting and carriers will focus resources on that. ironically rumors are floating of a 256GB model, but I would believe that when see it. Seems that will happen next year, or the next iPad release.

that was clearly a mistake..if they wanted to make one they would have announced it..the s6 never had a 128gb option
Samsung has clarified that there will be NO 128gb for the Note 5 nor the G6 Edge Plus.

Samsung strategy: Announce and release the Note 5 before iPhone 6s Announcement. Announce the 128gb Note5 / S6 edge+ on September 9th (same time as iPhone 6s announcement) Release September 14th (a week prior to iPhone 6s release date). I am waiting for the 128gb version but this is rather silly strategy to me. They did say there will be no 128GB so the early adopters would jump the gone on lower priced variations before selling the $900 128gb variation.

I would be so pissed if they announced the 128gb in September. That would be so damn childish of them. If that actually happened I would never give Samsung a dime ever again. I've already crossed their tablets off and their smartphones are hanging by a thread for me.

I hear you on on that. It just sucks that we as consumers can see how silly Samsung's approach is to potential buyers who really need that 128gb on board memory (non of that 100gb cloud storage for 2 years shenanigans)
Is the otg card reader not viable for any of you?
I personally got the 128gb s6 edge (original not the new plus) because I don't trust memory cards and the internal storage is faster. But since you all miss the memory card from the note 4 and note 3 why not get the otg.

Is it possible to store games' data in the external storage and then connect it to the phone using an OTG cable? Or the Data must be stored in the internal storage?
Also waiting for the 128gb option. I'm passed off, why put the 128gb option on the SGS6 and not the Larger device with the S-Pen???? It's dumb. Samsung blew this, I didn't care about the lack of SD card because I assumed the Note 5 would have 128gb option. I guess don't assume anything. I bought the SGS6 with 128gb of internal storage, love the phone. Have it set up Stock with Nova Launcher and icon paks. Getting all day battery out of mine. Love it.
Why is it still in there site then? Since my other thread got closed smh here is screenshot

What area are you from? I purchased a 128GB G920T from T-Mobile last week. They did not have any in stock at the local store, but they were able to ship one to me. Are you saying that this carrier no longer has the 128GB option or that it isn't in store anymore? Also, I would try swappa, I have had some relatively good success there. You're looking at about $600 for the phone if not purchasing it from the carrier though.
correct

If I saw the 128 gig Edge on sale when I bought my regular S6.. I would of bought that instead..
Shame I can't find it in white anywhere, but I'm quite happy with my regular White S6..
What's gonna suck is the S7 is coming early next year, likely April is what the T-Mobile people are telling me..
Now that's the reason why they should have include SD Card slots like in the future you need a higher speed and capacity card. I discovered an app called Filmic Pro coming to android. I was excited that to tell my brother to get 128 GB high speed SD card for film recording* but found out that its not possible. Adding card slots isn't a huge loss even though majority people don't use it since the device is still being bought by both crowds anyway.
*Note: I use Canon EOS 5d Mark II and I still wanted to try out new things.

So the OP5 is coming soon, we have few leaks about it but are you thinking about an upgrade ? Or you will keep this beast for one/two more years ?
I just got mine yesturday so i plan on keeping it till at least the 6 comes out.
I'll upgrade if the specs are good. 2k screen with a good camera and easily unlockable with good dev support. If not I'll get a new different phone either the international Note 8 version with unlocked bootloader or the new Pixel.
Just saw the news said they drop support for the op2. Hope OnePlus won't drop the software update support on op3t. Otherwise I will use 3t until op6 comes out.
Nah, I´m really happy with the change from a Nexus 6P to the 3T. The only downside is the camera at night and to be honest with myself I don´t use the camera enough to justify an upgrade. I love the 1080 screen, 6gb ram (especially at the beta, app management is the best on any android phone I´ve experienced). And regarding android upgrades, as long as i get security patches I´m happy. Google seems to f#ck things up more and more along the road..
I didn't buy 3T to upgrade it just after the next gen comes. Like seriously, the purpose of all those specs like 6GB of RAM is to last long and endure technological evolution process as well.
BTW I had an opportunity to get my hands onto S8 recently and even for free I wouldn't swap these devices even though 3T is from the previous generation of flagships (which apparently means nothing in this case).
I have the 3T since January. No reasons to upgrade. I'll keep it for 2 years, I hope.
not yet, unless the OP5 is groundbreaking
Maybe
Oh I'm upgrading but def not to the OP5. Probably gonna grab an S8+ pretty soon and then the Note 8 when it comes out. I only buy OPs if I need a new phone and there's nothing out that interests me. They are great interim phones, for sure.
If it'll be under 500€ i'll buy it
Im going to go with a solid maybe. Normally i dont buy phones for cameras. Never have never will. but im very interested in this things camera, those picture samples leaked are SOOOOOOO damn good looking. Normally id reach for my nikon but holy moly the detail. You know youve got a good camera if you can see the scales on a strawberry. The 835 sounds amazing 6gb ram is super useful and if that new leak is true with the 30 minute full charge on dash, thats a buy right there just for the charging feature. My lord-y thats just smartphone bliss right there. Forget battery banks imagine what you can get in a 5 minute charge. Theyll change the tag line to a whole days power in a 10th of an hour.

But if the camera is the only *major* upgrade, while you still consider buying it or you will just keep the 3T ?
Its a low chance that is the only major upgrade. They will definitely be using the 835 or hopefully even thr 850 if its delayed enough.

They've already confirmed it will use snapdragon 835. That's about a 10% performance increase over snapdragon 821.
I do belive that the 5 is a good idea. Im sure they way they use the 835 it will be more than 10%
I've owned alot of phones in my time, but the OP3t is hands down my favorite. The OP5 is gonna have to bring a lot more then just a camera upgrade for me to drop 500 bucks on it.
If the price is between $400 & $450, I'll buy immediately. If it's qHd I'll buy immediately, below $600. If the materials are new (ceramic) I'll buy immediately.
If not, I'm going to wait and see what the Note looks like. Or the Mate.
I love this phone and only got it in March or something.

Vote and share your thoughts.
I ordered the 64gb version. I never filled my op3t with 64gb, so that just seemed like the obvious choice for me.
Picked up the 128gb.
Seems like the extra ram will be useful in the future.
8GB /128GB model. Don't think i'd use all of the storage, but the 8GB could make my phone futureproof for about two years.
I went for the 128gb/8gb version. For future proofing and the midnight black colour.
128/8 model. Seemed a no-brainer.
64/6 version.. both values are more than enough for me..
128/8 I choose. Seemed worth the little extra money for double the storage
First ordered 128 GB from oneplus.net but order delayed so I cancel the order and collect 64 GB from O2 store as I realize that on my 32 GB S7 +32GB SD card I never go higher than 36 GB so 64 GB is more than enough, most flagship phone work just fine even with 4 GB RAM, 8 GB RAM+Black color for £499 is marketing tricks to milking more money from spec. hungry people, most of my huge data stays in my laptop and external HDD and I don't install huge games in mobile . Think like £500 for OP5 if you add AKG like headphone, connector, water & Dust proof, High resolution curved screen, OIS, Micro SD slot, Refined camera chip, Wireless charging and £99 free Samsung Level speaker which is even water and dust proof and you can use it to charge your phone, in comparison OP5's price is too high, I don't agree when everyone said about cheap price or budget phone or £100 less compared other flagship phone, this is how they made cheap??
£50 for another 2GB RAM and twice the memory??
Yep I went for the 128 GB variant

The big girl. No reason not to, really. I ordered on Monday evening and it showed up via FedEx this morning (Thursday). Pretty spectacular service. Haven't had time to play with it much yet but I'm coming from a 3T and can't wait.
8gb/128gb Midnight Black! Well bigger is better and if you say it's not, well let's just say you're hiding something! I'll never use the 128gb up but 2gb of extra ram certainly will increase efficiency.
I just loaded 86GB of FLAC to mine, so... yeah. Good to have room! Might get a few movies on there before I call it quits.
I'm truly baffled that anyone would buy the 6g/64gb version when there is an 8g/128gb version for $60 more.
Most companies charge you $100 to go from 64 to 128,and then there is the added ram, which arguably isn't needed, but why not have it if it's available.
Honestly there is no legitimate reason for getting the lower model.

I got the 6gb/64gb version. I had already made up my mind that I would get the OP5 as long as it was under $500. The price difference wasn't that much for the black one so I was willing to break the $500 budget I set for myself. But it was out of stock when I tried to order it. Either way, it's still more storage and ram than any other phone I've had and 64gb was the largest SD card I have ever needed personally.

So starting first thread of Note9
Guys please post latest info about availability of Note 9 Specifically in India
Currently in India only Pre-registration (Interest) started hopefully pre-book should start soon after lauching (9thAug18)
So got the device demo and checked following things
1.OEM Unlock available out of box on indian version
2.unfortunately infinity WP with animation while unlock is removed. Though I have checked sources on dump framework and it's partially removed so I still have hope for custom rom users
3.A/B seamless updates I don't found
4.treble support enabled
5.Dolby no much different from s9+ (I felt same like on my N8 ported rom)
6.Spen have option long press - open camera
While with single press some action according app opened
Camera - take picture
Gallery - next, double click previous
Same with music tracks
7.I couldn't confirm but according dealer, both SIM will work with LTE
Note 9 coming with Gear S3 for 4k extra ?
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
I have a Note 8 and interested in what Samsung will offer to those wishing to upgrade. If the cost of the Note 9 works out to under 30k, after the buyback and cashbacks, I will surely be tempted to upgrade!
128 gb or 512 gb
What do you guys suggest......Is it worth spending 17k extra for 384 GB storage and 2 GB RAM.........
I am currently using S7 edge 128 GB version and have only 8-10 GB free on internal storage. If given an option, would want to keep max internal memory to avoid deleting any photos/videos from phone and get into hassles of managing it on memory card, but is paying extra 17k worth it. I am inclined towards going for 512 GB, Others ??
Unless you are rooted with TWRP, having extra space as internal storage is always pain. If anytime you need to factory reset on stock non rooted, you gonna lose everything, and we never know when device mess up and need to do factory reset. I prefer to have Ext SD to keep static data without bothering losing it (Though ext sd can corrupt but no nothing is forever lol !)
I won't pay extra for just storage. RAM I believe also enough with 128GB

Rooting from day 1 or as and when root is available is obvious. And i had a lot of memory cards going kaput. Logically it doesn't make sense to pay 17k for storage, but emotionally inclined towards 512 GB

Pre-booked ocean blue 128gb from Samsung website, just wondering if I'll be able to use it with 2017 gear vr. Anyone has any idea if it'll be possible?
I checked the upgrade option in the My Galaxy app and I am getting a quote of Rs 38550 for my Note 8. This includes the Rs 6000 exchange bonus. So the 128GB Note 9 will work out to 29350.
Now the big question -- is it worth it?
Also, is 38,550 a good price for a one year old Note 8 without any scratches or issues? Or will I get a better price if I sell it directly to some shop or on Cashify?

Very much subjective. If we think, we are losing almost half amount for one year old device when we selling it but that's also true, we don't get more money than this. Here two things are important
1.If you look for budget, think your self what you are getting extra with 30K? If you convince yourself then go for it else leave.
2.No issue of budget and you are crazy, then go for it.

Hello guys, I'm planning to buy note 9 in exchange of my 4 months old S9 plus 128 GB version. My galaxy app is showing me an exchange price of 47,750. Should I go for it? It Will be my first note device bdw ?
Though it has same 9810 exynos processor as s9+ can I expect something different? Would've loved SD 845 instead.
Are we getting gear s3 or gear sport for 4999? Yesterday it was s3 but today it is showing gear sport. Am I missing something?
