Samsung Galaxy S4 internal memory?

[Shaqo_Wyn]

Hello, so I'm thinking of buying a new android smartphone and like most people it's either going to be the Samsung Galaxy S4 or the HTC One. I've compared both of them extensively and I was convinced the HTC One was the phone for me until I tested the Galaxy S3 and decided that if the S4 was anything like the S3 (which it is in my opinion, it's obviously better than the S3) I'd buy buy the S4. I got over the HTC One having better speakers and build quality and in my opinion Blink Feed sucks. My only concern now is that the 16GB S4 comes with about 8.5GB of internal memory available for use. With the release of the 32GB model in the Netherlands nowhere in sight I am wondering about a couple of things. Does it really matter that there's only 8.5GB of internal memory available on the S4 for me? I'm not really into games, but I do want to be able to download all my social network apps (facebook, twitter, instagram, whatsapp) and news and lifestyle apps (runtastic, cnn etc.) without it having significant impact on device performance. Will 8.5GB be enough for this kind of use? And can I hope that Samsung will find a way in the near future that I can transfer and use FULL apps from the micro-SD card?

Hi
8.5 GB of storage is enough space for hundreds if not thousands of social media and lifestyle apps.
Also worth noting is that with the lates update for the S4 you can move apps to the sd card :-)

8,5 GB is one heck of a space to fill up, IMO it should last you for quite sometime. I have tested several android smart phones ranging from the norm to the latest bling they all share 1 thing in common, be sure to keep an eye on how much "App Data" and "Cache Data" an app uses esp social networking ones. these apps tend to cache all your posts and pics and can accumulate pretty fast regular cache cleaning should do the trick, with ample supply of internal phone memory your phone should be blinding fast at all times
