Mmm, this will be my next phone :D.

I'm definitely getting this for Christmas.

I mean seriously, 2 GB of RAM! Plus a Quad core! That beats my old laptop! Which has 2 GB and 1.7 GHz processor (just one :P).

I'm definitely getting the 16 GB, but I would really enjoy it if they added external storage :\

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] icy56:
Would've been perfect but the lack of a microSD card slot and the lack of a 32gb model killed it for me. 16gb just simply isn't enough to hold my music collection as well as my pictures and videos and if you're an audiophile like me, then you know that music just streaming off the cloud won't cut it compared to music at 320kbps or lossless stored on the device itself. I wanna be able to listen to music while I'm on a roadtrip or on a plane, so if I have to rely on cloud service, I won't have most of my music with me... Unless they make a 32gb model, looks like I'm taking the iPhone 5 route...it was either a nexus android phone (I just cannot take the lack of updates anymore) or a iPhone and well the nexus was this close but they just had to have one downfall...you would think that they would have figured it out by now but no...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
No.

You are using a mobile device not a high end audio system at home.

Pictures would be better backed up to the cloud using something like Picassa or dropbox. That way they can be viewed anywhere.

I dont like the idea of being limited to a certain size of internal memory and no sdcard. But only because if the internal memory goes wonkers it costs more to replace than buying a new sdcard. Not because I want to claim to be a audiophile and need 320kbps files on my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] icy56:
Okay yeah, this is a mobile device but why not make the most out of what you have? Why listen to crappy really compressed mp3's when you can store things at 320kbps where compression is minimal. With a good pair of headphones, I can hear the difference. It doesn't take a super high end system. I wanna be able to enjoy my music on the go, there's nothing wrong with that..even on YouTube you can tell the difference in sq between 720p and anything below it.

But what's the point in argueing about that on a phone forum, we both agree that we would rather not be confined to only 16gb of internal storage.. I don't understand why can't they simply include it. Every year, that's what people ask for and yet every year, they have to have some downfall.

Nexus S: No external storage and no HD Video Recording

Galaxy Nexus: No external storage again, sub par camera in comparison to other phones, and a pentile display.

Nexus 4: No external storage ONCE AGAIN.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
The biggest reason..cost. They dont care if you are willing to pay for it. They are looking to make a unlocked unrestricted phone. Its kinda like not putting LTE radios in. They are looking to make a good phone that is cheap enough people can buy it and not spend 600 bucks. They have found 350 is the price most people will pay for a unlocked phone and not be upset.

16GB is the point they can produce a phone and still make money at the 350 price point.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] htaak:
I think it's just part of the push towards cloud storage. The slight reduction in audio quality in return for the convenience of having their complete audio and video library on all of their devices is a trade I think the majority (not all :-p) of consumers have no problem with. Besides, with the trend of wider bandwidth for less money that has been with us since dial-up, I don't think it will be such a long time before the streaming quality improves further....historically that's what it's always done.

If audio is your prime concern then I would be more concerned with the type of DAC's in the phone as ultimately that will give you your real world "ceiling" on your audio quality.

I think Google had done fantastic job of providing the consumer with a feature packed, unlocked phone at a hell of a price. Much like with the N7 this will force down the prices of other manufacturers products in order to compete...a win for the consumer.

For anyone that thinks this phone isn't a great deal, Google "unlocked GS3 or iPhone 5" and get back to me.

Plus Whitehawkx, Romann, and the other aokp guys have been lighting up Twitter with tweets about how eager they are to get one, so the development should be strong right off the bat.

Just my 2 cents lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] icy56:
But think about it, it takes a lot more battery to steam music and continually use data in the background than it does to simply play music on your phone's memory. And what are you supposed to do when say you are on a roadtrip where signal is edge at best or when you are in a subway or plane where you don't have any signal at all? When I have a smart phone, it is my all-in-one device. It holds my music, works as my GPS, and acts as my phone. And what about apps? The whole point of the smartphone is to have apps right? Where are you gonna store your apps and games if they continue to go the cloud route and completely remove internal storage? Imagine using this galaxy s 4g without the 16gb micro sd card. In my opinion, that would be horrible. I don't wanna have to carry around an extra mp3 player around with me just to be able to fit less than half of my music collection. I don't think adding a micro SD card slot would have added that much to the costs. Whatever. I personally have no problem at all with signing a phone on contract because really, I am just saving money on the phone and paying as much as I would on a prepaid non-contract plan. I don't really see what is so bad with that. It would be more of a hassle switching constantly to different service providers than it would be to just stay with one.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] htaak:
No one is talking about completely removing built in storage....8 to 16 gigs depending on your use for apps and other phone operations seems ample to me.

I understand your comments about being on the road outside of connection, but how often is that going to happen to the average person?

Should Google add additional redundant cost to every phone to cater for that one situation that the majority of people never come into?

I think if I found myself preparing for a trip like that I would drop the $10 for a USB mp3 player and call it a day....keeping my phone and its battery saved for emergency use.

Edit: Having an unlocked phone, not on contract is going to reduce the odds of being stuck somewhere without service because your contracted provider doesn't have service where you have travelled too.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
To add the sdcard reader and software while not break the bank expensive it is a cost they dont think they can add to the phone. Google is trying to help you not have to sign a contract to get a good phone. They care about contracts because until more people drop them companies like verizon, att, and sprint will never lower the price to a fair level. Each time somebody leaves a contract plan for a pre-paid plan it sends a message to the people in charge. jeffsf recently figured if he dropped to a "value" plan he can save $960 bucks over a two year period. I pay 50 bucks a month and have to buy my phone outright its a proven fact you will save money getting off contract and buying the phones outright. With the t-mo prepaid plans you shouldnt have to switch constantly.

I keep about six hours of music on my phone for times I dont have service or know I will be in fringe areas. I use to keep around 12gbs of music but I never once even came close to using it all. Even while driving nearly 14 hours. Again I prefer to have removable storage but its not a deal breaker for me. Im not running out and being a first adopter I plan on waiting until the phone is out for a while and development has been established. I was a DX first adopter and that left a bad taste in my mouth.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] htaak:
Yeah, I hear you about not being a first adopter. Still I'm due for phone and I think this may be it. Probably wait till after Christmas though to make sure it doesn't come with any unpleasant surprises.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snarfington:
Hi,

Been a happy owner of a Nexus 7 basically since the UK launch. In fact, three in the family and we're very lucky to have only needed to have one RMA'd and replaced by Google Play - which was really a tremendous hassle thanks to poor communication.

Woke up this morning noticing my Nexus has a very yellow screen. I don't know if it's always been there, but now I've noticed it it's really bugging me. Obviously I can get the device replaced, but after dealing with one already and seeing how frustrating that was I'd much rather see if the good people at XDA have any ideas.

Is there anything I can do to minimise the yellowing or perhaps re-calibrate the screen like GNex can be calibrated with Trinity Kernel?

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
As of yet, no the IPS LCD display has proved to be a lot less calibration friendly like the amoled of the Gnex. Your only choice right now is to get it replaced again. Sorry bud.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brad387:
Having already written this post out a few times in lengthy detail only to have it lost thanks to my idiocy of hitting the refresh key and my battery dying amongst other things, I am going to keep this simple by asking whether or not I should purchase a 16 GB Nexus 10 tablet. I constantly fluctuate between rooms in my house, from the garden to the bedrooms and the living room, and carrying a laptop around with a rather pitiful battery life is hardly the most practical solution. Since I already own a Galaxy Note with a 5.3" display, the idea of a 7" tablet didn't appeal to me in the slightest. However, a 10" slate offers some potential. Should I buy one? I have a few issues regarding storage though. I am right in reading that it doesn't have an SD card slot, right?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnesus:
Seems like it doesn't. Storage could be a problem - I almost used the whole 16GB on a Transformer (having all my files on an SD card! so only on apps!). What do you want to use it for?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brad387:
I don't have a great quantity of apps on my phone, since I have no need for most of them on a phone. For example, I don't see a need nor have a desire to do Photoshop, Blogger and many more on a 5" display when I have a much larger display with a keyboard sitting somewhere within my house. However, if I purchased a tablet, I would want to do these things on it. I have compiled a list, since you asked, as to what I plan on using a tablet for.

Web browsing.

Blogger.

Angry Birds.

Other games.

Music.

Movies & TV.

Ebooks.

Taking photos.

Skype.

Instant messaging.

Calenders.

Notes.

Homework.

I have approximately 10 GB of music and movies/television alone. I worry that 16 GB won't be enough, but stretching to 32 GB is going to be even more difficult (it will take me awhile to raise funds for 16 GB model as is) and even then it isn't an abundance of storage.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donharden2002:
In reality only you can answer that question.

I never buy anything just because others say I should.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brad387:
That is understandable, but I would like to know some other opinions on the device and also potential solutions to the storage problem. The Nexus devices are all really amazing, yet I do feel the need to have more storage options!
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FinalTrigger:
I currently have the Transformer Prime and I too am possibly looking into purchasing the Nexus 10. Reasoning behind that is I feel that the Nexus line up will have a huge community (as seen in the Nexus 7). Its not that im unhappy with my transformer, I just like to have the next big thing. Only problems I have with the Nexus 10 is the overall look. It looks thick and cheap but the specs blow it out of the water. I would say if you have yet to purchase a tablet then wait for the 10, if you already have one like me, theres not much I can say.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mertzi:
Oh come on, 8.9mm isnt thick! I think it looks awesome. I already have the N7 but buying the N10 is very tempting because of the resolution.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t_007_v2:
I wouldn't jump so quickly on the n10 band wagon. Just look at what happened to the n7 the 8g got discontinued and now there is a 32g for 249. N10 might dump the 16 for a 32 to a 64g option. Also after 4.2 is loaded on the n10 your only going to have 13gigs on the 16g n10 and that is not enough.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JFMFT:
You know, that's a great point. I've been excited about the Nexus 10, but I have the 7 (16GB) and I'm feeling a little burned. Google didn't wake up and say "let's release a 32GB at the same price point to screw over all the current 16GB owners!" but it does feel that way. So, I am not upset with Google, but I still can't help but feel that I'd have been better off waiting. I'm going to wait it out on the Nexus 10 for a while. Thanks for the point about this, you saved me lots of $ :D
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] el3ctrik:
I don't get this. I have the 16GB GNex and 16GB GTab and the only reason I've run out of space on either is when I forget to delete previous nandroid backups before copying over videos for a long trip. I mainly use my Tab for ebooks, or videos while travelling. When I'm at home I stream over WiFi off my NAS.

That said, I'll be buying the 32GB version of the N10 just for the 1080 goodness.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t_007_v2:
The only people that are really going to have storage issues are gamers, music buffs and people that want more than 5 movies on their device. Would you go out and buy a new laptop with only 16GB of storage? Lol of course not. My laptop has 750GB. I'm just saying that these new 10inch tablets are more of a laptop replacement and 16 to 32GB is not enough storage at least for me. If I didn't buy a n10 I would be shopping for a new laptop but I'm not even considering it. I don't want my data fragmented some here some there. I want the same content I have on my laptop on my tablet.

I'm constantly having to erase content to add new content on my 16GB n7.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skipped:
I was going to buy the Nexus 10, until I realized two things:

1- The aspect ratio is 16:9... that sucks.. Even the Nook HD+ (9inch) is wider (because it has 3:2 aspect ratio)

2- It appears that there is no optically-bonded display.. so it will be useless outdoors..
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buttersstotch:
The aspect ration seems 16:10, if it may help.

I thought that too, but it is confirmed to be 16:9..

Here is the proof:

Look at the specs in "Movies"

EDIT: I dont know what to believe.. I measured some pictures of N10, and it gives me an exact 1.6 aspect ratio (16:10).. But the specs in google's web are clear about 16:9.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] three west:
I'm with you, it looks like they brought in Fisher Price as consultants when you compare it to a Transformer. I was going to buy the 7, but the wife wisely told me to consider a 10". After that decision was made is was on to the Transformer when rumor had this thing pushed to next year, with consideration for the surface. Even though it doesn't look awesome, I'll be buying.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edge929:
You can keep your anti-wifi, shiny metal housings. The Nexus 10 design is pure, practical comfort. The rubberized backing is much more comfortable to hold than a cold metal backing. The increased friction from the rubber will make it easier to one-hand and the rounded design will feel natural in your hands. This is one thing I don't like about my Transformer TF101, the 90 degree metal edges on the sides, you know, where you hold it 99% of the time. Cuts in to my hands after a few mins.

Storage Solution

If you're worried about storage space, why not consider using Google Drive as a solution? You get 5GB free and you can purchase up to 16TB. Their large size plan for consumers is 100GB for $5 a month ($60 a year, not super costly considering phone bill prices these days). You can upload anything you want and access it across all your devices. For example, I have uploaded pictures, video files (mkv and they play brilliantly on my Nexus 7), and I regularly use drive to share PDFs for pen and paper role playing games with my friends so we can collaborate on the game outside of actually playing it (not to mention easy access to the material whilst gaming). Also, I'll note that I haven't even had to buy more storage space yet, I'm still only using a gig or two of my 5 free gigs.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manaox2:
If I wanted to stream stuff, I'd stream it from my home PC rather than share with google and pay a subscription price for the storage I need.

I'm just going to either connect my phone to it with a USB otg cable and share its 64GB microsdxc card most of the time for media and save the internal storage for apps where I'm still worried I'll need more than 16Gb. A lot of people forget that that includes the OS files and that formatted it will be less.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhunFone:
I'm also considering the nexus 10, (and a LTE phone, later) the price is awesome.

You can boot Linux under nexus 7, I hope a similar rom will arrive soon.

Either that or just go for the PF2, but the low resolution of the tablet dock, the low dev interest in it and the price, makes me think about Nexus 10 instead.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kookas:
I wonder how it isn't false advertising to provide a phone which has 3GB less free space than displayed? Companies should be made to add on an extra 3GB dedicated to OS files to make it at least the actual number IMO. Especially when you have so little - I honestly can't imagine how anyone could get by with the 8GB version, especially since that ends up being closer to 5GB.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] James-NC:
I was worried about storage when I bought my n7 but it turns out it was for nothing.After I found all the stuff I used it for I have loads of room left on it.I usually have over 10gbs free on a 16gb tablet.I put all the big videos on my computer and stream when home and have a copy on a stick drive with me when traveling.No problem to copy over a few to the tablet when needed either as I have that 10gbs of free space.I just delete them from the tablet after I watch them.

I don't flash roms every other day like many so don't wind up with a bunch of space hogging nandroids.I am not a big gamer so only have simple stuff like Angry birds ect on my tablet.I don't need 500 apps installed that I don't use like some do so my storage requirements are not that big.

I could buy a 16gb n10 and use the difference in cost to go toward a nice wifi hard drive to be used with all my devices and have enough portable storage for everything for years.

Bottom line is what and how you will use something effects what you need or don't need.What many worry about as a problem might not be a problem at all for you.

With cloud storage,streaming options at home and portable hard drives, flash drives and things available today having everything you own stored on a single device at all times really is not necessary.Look hard at what you will use it for and you might find bigger is not always better.;)
