I have ordered 8GB / 128GB (mainly because 6GB / 64GB is not yet available, but it will be soon available as per the news) & it will be delivered tomorrow. My current devices are ZUK Z2 Plus (32GB eMMC) & POCO F1 (64GB UFS 2.1). I am quite content with the performance & data transfer speeds, provided by UFS 2.1 in POCO F1 and never used more than 20-25 GB of storage.
So, is it worth to go with X2 Pro 8GB / 128GB over 6GB / 64 GB(after it is available), considering only storage type (UFS 3 vs UFS 2.1) is the difference?. Any one can shed some light on the real world differences between those two UFS versions?. I know that UFS 3 is almost double the speed (writes / reads) theoretically.

I think for the price difference of like €50 it's certainly worth it.The UFS 3.0 has many benefits which basically make your phone faster and contribute to battery life even,
Opening apps etc is quicker,you download a file for example will be written rapidly to your storage so you can access it much quicker,
Now you may not see a problem with your current 2.1 UFS and it mightn't even noticeable in a lot of situations but I would go with it all day long and your getting 8gb ram instead of 6

I was looking at these two memory cards online. The evo+ 128gb is around £40 and the ultra 128gb around £33. Out of the two which should I go for putting inside my s7 edge. Which one has better performance and reliability.
both are good, go with scandisk for cheaper price.
check this article
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Thes...our-Galaxy-S7-S7-edge-LG-G5-or-HTC-10_id80277
and you have this post about microsd.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/accessories/suggestions-microsd-t3321569
I recommend to take SanDisk Extreme Plus UHS-I U3
Don't get the Sandisk Extreme Plus 128gb. It's $200-$300 and has almost zero availability.
If you want to save money and get a fast 128GB microsd card, go with the Samsung EVO+ (i use this in my S7e).
If you want to spend $100, get the Samsung Pro+ 128gb card.
Both Samsung and Sandisk are reliable.
As far as performance of the two cards you listed....
Samsung EVO+ -- READ 82, WRITE 26
Sandisk Ultra -- READ 92, WRITE 19
Get the EVO+. Write speeds are more important than the read speeds, especially if they are higher than 70mb/sec (both are).
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't for a phone the random write speed the more important figure vs. the sequential write speed you listed?
Personally id go with the samsung evo.
Only if you elect to use the Adoptable Storage option in Android 6.0. If not, sequential write speed would be the key field.
Whichever is cheapest at the time of purchase. You'll notice no difference once it's in the phone.
I ended up going with the 128 GB Pro + - can be had for $90. Much higher write speeds than the Evo +. The new 256 GB Evo + might match or even outclass the 128 GB Pro +, but at $250... I'll pass.
A little help, I am in doubt about the 4x and 4 pro / prime, I have some questions
1- I will notice a lot of day-to-day performance difference between a snapdragon 435 (28nm) at 1.4ghz and a 625 (14nm) at 2.0ghz
2 - being the 4x / 4 encounter with versions of 4gb ram and 64gb of storage and the 4Pro 3gb ram and 32gb, 4gb of ram would help in the performance of the 4 / 4X?
3- In 32GB versions, when starting the first time, how much storage is left in the device?
Hey,
1. It depends on your usage. Im no gamer and im not lagging with 3/32GB 4X.
2. Not really, but if you have a lot of data you cant put on the SD card id rather take the 64GB.
3. About 24GB on internal. SD up to 128 GB i guess, im only running a 64 SD card.
Maybe you should check the available frequencies supported by each model. Needs depend on your carrier.
Hello guys, please tell which of this two versions you've got and why.
Does it mather to pay about +-50 more to get the 128GB version instead of 64GB, if just the storage size changes?

Well sadly no expandable storage which sucks, so get 128gb if you can. Personally I have 64gb because thats the only version available at Amazon.
I depends on your usage, how much space do you use on your current phone?
I had less than 20gb left on my 64gb Mi A2, and now, i have 73 gb left on my 128gb Mi 9, if i had the 64gb version, i would have only 9gb left. You also need to think about your space for 2 years from now, and also for the resell value.
I bought the 128gb and I don't know why. 64GB would be enough.
Buying the 64GB here. Even with Netflix downloads, a few GB games and tons of photos., I’m hoovering at 20 GB free space after a year and a half. Google Photos saves a lot of space and unlimeted cloud storage in a decent enough quality.

Running 32GB internal + 64GB external, but most is on external SD btw. I have some OTG C to use too.
128g here! the way i look at it rather have too much than not enough haha
I have 6GB/128GB because the Mi 9 has no external storage
I have the Mi 9 because Belsimpel (dutch shop) only has the 128GB version in blue.
I wanted the 128gb version but it was out of my budget (was way overpriced too). So i went with the 64gb and to be honest i'm gonna miss my 128gb i had with my redmi note 4 as external storage ... but oh well at least i can sell it and get some money back out of it. c:
I have 6/64 and for me it is ok.
I don't need many space in mobile phone, just some gb for mp3 to listen in can via bluetooth.
If better 64 o 128 gb depend of your own use of mobile phone.
bought the 128gb version myself as the price i got on it was quite cheap but 64 one would have been just fine too (as i had a 32gb s7 edge previously with 32gb sdcard)
256GB, the more the merrier
Do note that the storage speed differs quite a bit between the two versions. The 128GB one has faster sequential reads (almost 800MB/s, compared to 620-690 the 64GB one gets) while the 64GB one has almost twice as fast seq write speeds (about 390MB/s compared to 180-ish the 128GB one gets). The other parameters are usually in line, they also tend to differ between ROM versions on the global dev I've been running until now.
My current phone is the LG V10 so I went with the 8/128. I don't like buying phones so I wanted to make sure this one lasts as long as possible.
Noticed that no-one is mentioning how much space you do actually get after turning the phone for the first time. I have see somewhere that 128g version has 117g free. Is this true?

Yup. I just roughly calculated it and I got 116,88gb. Don't remember the exact value.
Try get 128. But only if you use your camera often (specially video). I bought 64gb and now only my gallery take 15GB. 4min video from some event takes 1, 2GB. So let's think before.
I got the 64gb because the 128gb was too expensive when I ordered it. I use Google Photos so no storage space used for photos on my phone and it's free. Thanks whoever posted the RAM speed differences. I was unaware. I wonder if the 256gb has faster speeds?
Just before I purchased the phone, I changed my mind and went for 64gb version.
My previous phone had 64gb storage and 64gb SD card, and I was using around 100gb of the total.
On the way to the shop I had a little cleaning, and checked the files on my SD card and it turned out almost all is useless and I just keep it on my phone (I had 2 year old TWRP backups, many custom ROMs and mods that I don't need and use etc)
Same apps and similar amount of downloads (on Netflix, Spotify, Photos etc) and I have 30gb free on my 64gb Mi 9. So, I don't think 128gb is necessary for a regular user.
Now, I can use the 50 euros I saved, in buying a 20W wireless charger and a power-bank.
Anyone has experience in performance differences between 6GB and 8GB model?
By quick glancing it looks like only difference is amount of memory or is there something else? Device will be used for photo and social apps only. No gaming of any kind.
Thanks
Same otherwise. For your use, probably wouldn't notice any difference.
The 128gb version also has 8gb ram, not only 256gb

Some 128GB models only have 6GB RAM. All 256/512GB models have 8GB RAM.

Ok didn't know, mine has 8
Didn't know they made 8gb / 128gb variants. As far as it's listed here, there's only 6/128 , 8/256 & 8/512
As for the difference, honestly from 6- 8 there will be no noticeable difference during regular usage. It's not like Emui allows all the apps to keep running in the background. Power management is quite aggresive and probably will need to remove powergenie to fully utilize it.

I have a UK device. VOG-L09, 8GB RAM and 128GB storage.
I was testing out how much of a difference UFS 3.0 storage made on the practical usage of the OnePlus 7 pro and found that application/game installation times are faster, loading a game (PUBG as an example) loaded 18 seconds faster than the device using UFS 2.1, not that many people will care for 18 seconds but I find it impressive.
Storage speed tests for the OnePlus 7 Pro show:
Read: 1.2 GB/s
Write: 425 MB/s
Where as for the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus which is using UFS 2.1 show:
Read: 758 MB/s
Write 195 MB/s
So UFS 3.0 in read write tests show the OnePlus 7 Pro as being nearly twice as fast, however when I transferred a 1.3 GB file from a flash storage device to the OnePlus 7 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus, it transferred over at the same time, roughly 10 seconds, take that as you will.
You can watch the test video I did to back up the results above:

The USB drive will have a max speed of about 150Mb/s, probably less in real world use, which is well under both devices internal write speeds. There are some USB-c drives that I see advertised at 300Mb/s, so you might see a speed difference there as it should top out on the S10+ but not the 7Pro.
I have about 180GB of my favorite songs in a playlist I like to keep in my phone, and on my Pixel 2xl it took forever to transfer (and I couldn't fit them all, obviously). Looking forward to seeing how the 7Pro handles that transfer from the USB-c connection on my motherboard to the phone.

Yeah on the video I mention how my usb flash drive was the bottleneck, and that's probably the same issue most average consumers will face.
I was just elaborating with a few details. Don't mind me.
Has anyone tested out transfer speed between the phone and pc using a usb-c to usb-c 3.1 connection?

Nice one.
One thing though: The storage version used plays a role in sequential read/write speed.
Saying this bcoz S10+'s 1 TB UFS 2.1 is faster than 512 GB UFS 2.1 and 512 GB UFS 2.1 is faster than 128 GB UFS 2.1.
