Multitasking 6GB RAM Model
I generally don't let things get out of hand, but I've had no problem running lots of apps on the phone and in DeX mode to a 4K TV with a USB mouse and keyboard, and still running nicely.
If anyone find 6 vs 8gb note comparison video, please share. I'd like to see is there any improvement in keeping apps in background on 8gb model.

heats up little bit
device heats up little bit when playing games or doing some heavy tasks multi tasking works awesome
Compared to other devices I've used, the 8gb Note 9 I'm using is a world of difference. It seems like Samsung nailed it with the way this phone handles having a ton of apps running at the same time. It smoothly transitions between whatever apps I want to use with seemingly no impact to performance

Says just over 7 with everything closed out including background processes
Mine (with apps closed but background processes etc) uses around 2.2-2.5, 5GB free and 600mb reserved by the system.

Well that sounds about right if you've got stuff open. That was only with literally everything on my phone closed so I can't imagine that we'll ever fully see over 6gb available with minimal or no apps but background stuff running. I really can't imagine any 8gb user will run into issues with ram regardless of how much the settings say is available

6 is plenty. I have the 6gig and only keep 3-4 open. It works great. I wanted the 8gig but after looking at a bunch of reviews I couldn't justify getting the 8gig for my type of usage. I don't play any games. Jist YouTube. Text. Browser. Music and a bit of social.

I switched from the s7e exynos to the note 9 exynos. I can tell you from my experience that it's smoother, faster, better to hold in hands without a case, better camera, better audio from speakers/headphones, a lot better battery life and so on + the new one UI shapes to be great too (android P). The difference is there and the phone better + I have the 6GB variant and this + software optimisations leads to quite good RAM management, it's vastly better than the s7e - will recommend you to get the 6GB version if you don't need the 512GB onboard storage (you can put fast sd card for videos/photos on the 128GB model if needed).

Agree, 128GB is plenty. If you can wait, do so for the s10 is my advice (or 2019 phones in general). Otherwise you will not be dissapointed from the note 9.

Hey guys.
I had a Note 4 and decided to give it to my sister and now wanting the S6 Edge. I had a 32gb note with a 64Gb card with about 38GB of music.
And Im now leaning towarda the 64gb model. Want to know peoples experience with their chosen storage. What did you choose and was it enough? Did you wish you went a step higher?
With the amount of data you had earlier, it's obvious that you need at least 64GB device. Don't forget that the S6 does not have expandable storage.
I had an LG G3 32GB with a 64GB card. It was a overkill for me, using less than 20GB of data on the card and a few more on the device. As for internal storage, for a 64GB unit, only about 55GB is available to you, so you gotta base your usage on that.

TBH I could survive with 32GB. But I got the 64GB. I got the Nexus6 in 64 for that reason. Well because I could!
My iphones are 128GB as well. Apple keeping 16 instead of 32 for the entry device is silly. Many will be frustrated when their (nearly full) devices cannot be updated to later iOS versions!
I probably would have got the 128GB S6 if it were available.
But I won't lose sleep over not having it.
OTG works fine for bulk transfers.
Air droid on our 5GHz AC network is plenty fast even for copying full roms and is it ever convenient!
I went for a 64gb. My old phone had 32gb and I was forever deleting stuff off it, I would have liked the 128 more but yeah at least I can now have a few games and more music.

32gb is enough for me, i actually store music on google music , you can upload your music to it using google music manager on PC , can have 50,000 and single file can be 300mb , of course you need data as it will stream, as im on unlimited don't have any issues and plays instantly , and when moving to another device can just log in its so quick, how things have progressed, i really dont have any use for sd cards now !:good:
I've only got a few albums (3 or 4) on my phone at the moment. I only get 1.5gb data so it's not enough to stream off the net, I would use it up to quickly. I have 15 games on here, some I'm only trying and deleting. I Still have 32gb free
Sent from my SM-G925I using XDA Free mobile app
I got the 64. I could possibly have settled for the 32gb, but i prefer not having to worry about it, and be able to install a ton of different games that i probably wont play. The problem with 32 is that it becomes 21 after the system, and in my case 10gb less after you synchronize spotify, leaving me with 11gb for games/apps/roms/backups etc.
So 64 is a nice middle point, i feel like it's only in a few unique cases that 128 would be necessary.
I also came from a 32gb note with a 64gb sd card.

When switching from my Note 4 to my S6 edge and trying to determine the capacity I needed, I just looked at the total combined storage of what I was currently using on my Note 4. I understood that some of those files were OS related files.
I didn't feel like dealing with the hassle of deleting files just to switch devices and I was close to the 64GB threshold, so I went with the 128GB. I'm glad I did.
I'm a heavy Cloud user, all my music is on Google, pictures are stored on MS OneDrive, etc. I had a 16GB iPhone 6+ and wasn't too limited. Picked up the 64gb just because it wasn't too much more and gave me plenty of space.

I don't mind using Google or Dropbox, but Microsoft OneDrive has the absolute worst upload rate of any online storage out there.
I tried uploading pictures to OneDrive several times and the upload speeds were painfully slow. After a quick Google search I realized it was a Microsoft issue that they refuse to fix. Microsoft keeps somewhat acknowledging it as an issue and releasing "how to" instructions tips in order to fool people into thinking they are helping, but they're not addressing the hardware issues related to the problem.
So much for that 2 years/100GB of space for free through OneDrive because I consider it pretty worthless.

That's pretty much the story of my life. Something is always right around the corner. Truth told, I'll probably buy the Note 5, but there's no guarantees. I'm pretty happy with the size of the S6 edge.
The other thing I considered when pondering space was the fact that things start running slower when you start running closer to capacity. I like to leave plenty of overhead for the sake of keeping it nice and smooth.

Sorry it isn't working for you, OneDrive has been gangbusters for me. I uploaded about half a gig and it didn't take that long at all. Sitting happily with my 1.12TB of storage and not planning on switching back any time soon.
16 would have been enough for me. I stream most things

I opted for the 64GB version, only because the 128GB one wasn't available here (Samsung decided not to release that model here)! I keep some of my work docs on my device and occasionally need to access them when I have zero signal so cloud storage isn't an option for me unless it's personal pics or music or other unimportant stuff. If I need extra storage on top of the 64GB I'll just get me an OTG flash drive, but so far I still have about 35GB free so I should be ok!
Sent from the Edge.
I have 26 gig of music, 104 apps, 13 gigs remaining on my 64. This is adequate for my needs, I've been on android for the start and have a consistent app package with the occasional new app coming on and an old app riding off into the sunset. You likely either know exactly how much you are using and whether that is on the move or not, if in doubt, get more. But then I'm a bit of a slut.
128GB. Version you can never have too much space. I use my phone every day and couldn't live with out it any more. When I'm that dependant on it why wouldn't I get the largest capacity?
Decided to take the 128gb myself. Didnt want to deal with storage problems...but crazzzy expensive here in europe.
64GB is plenty. Trying to sell the 128GB at a decent price will be harder once the Note 5 comes out as well, so went with the middle option.
Hi,
I'm considering to buy the Samsung galaxy s6 edge. today I have the s2. I have a big problem with the s2 - I don't have enough space to update and install applications.
my question is if I want to avoid this problem with the s6, do I have to buy the 64gb version, or will the 32gb version would be enough? I don't need much space for pictures, songs etc.
thx

64gb will save you aggravation in the long run. Keep in mind no SD slot so you cannot upgrade later.

Get the 128gb, everything is bigger now, apps, photos, videos, might as well get the top end
Go with 64gb.
The camera images and videos are big in size because of high resolution.
There is no option to upgrade later as no sd card is supported.

thx for the replies. as I wrote, I don't need much space for media, and my only concern is for apps. i don't want to pay more for 64gb or 128gb if i don't really need it. the device is as expensive as it is. do u think the 32gb will solve the problem of not being able to install and update apps, or do i have to buy the 64gb?
I have the 64gb version.
I don't have much music on my phone (I stream with Spotify instead but do keep a few tracks locally stored for offline music). I don't have any videos installed so my storage is pretty much used solely for photos and apps. If I had purchased the 32gb version I'd be out of storage now as I've only got 33gb free space left. So yeah, get the 64gb version!

Not really. I've used up about 2.5gb in photos. 16.5gb worth in apps and app data (a couple of big games like Hearthstone for example) and about 4.5gb worth of Helium backup data. There is over 9gb dedicated to Samsung/Google system files there too.

I'd go for the 64GB one. I have an S5 now, with a 64GB SD card and it's less than 50% full, although I have loads of videos, apps, photos etc on it.
I had the same issue you have with your S2, fortunately my phone was rooted and I could delete 3GB of junk in the logs folder. Crazy!! Nowaday's (with my S5) I use the Clean Master to clear cache and junk and I have always space left.
My husband has got himself an S6 edge with 64GB. Just waiting for it to arrive.
As a rule of thumb I'd say go with the 64GB version for peace of mind later on. The 32GB version only has around 22GB of free memory so be careful. The 128GB is just useless unless you plan to watch DVD rips on a 5.1" screen or install 300 apps.
i currently own a asus transformer tf700 which has serious i/o memory lag issues that require monthly flashing. i noticed some people seem to have the same problem with n9. whats the general consensus around here?
Get a Surface Pro 4 instead of Nexus 9. N9 let me down. It was laggy when on 5.0, 5.1 solved that. And recently, my N9 shows some signs of screen mess and buzzing when battery is low. Not sure if it's related to software or hardware.

it really depends on what you want to do with it
Watch movies? get a tablet with a 16:9 resolution instead, this one is 4:3
just some reading? this tablet will do fine
Use it for the occasional stuff like word documents, some games etc? it will still do fine
Serious multitasking? dont even bother with this one
hate redraws or application closing due to running low on memory? again dont bother with this one.
All in all i have the device since it came out, android 6 improved battery life some but honestly its just 1 big disappointment device.
As for the post above me, the N9 and Surface Pro 4 aren't even comparable with each other, spec and price wise. (besides the fact its also 2 different OS systems)
All things aside, the biggest downfall for this device is its 2gb of memory and its rather crappy dual core socket. (wich performs exceptionally well in single-thread, just dont expect anything that has to do with multithread and multitasking)
as for the memory, with the amount of pixels this device has you will average 500~600mb ram just to load most assets. they really should have given this device 3gb memory.

Yea i just bought for the black Friday sale 279$ for 32gig because 16 gig is just to small. But after looking thru a lot of these threads and seeing all the issues people have I'm seriously considering returning it. I have had every nexus device since the Galaxy nexus and im blown away by how many issues this device has and by the lack of development and just lack of general interest on the forums. 100$ more and i can get the Samsung tab S2 8.4, i actually really don't like Samsung design but with the lack of quality android tablets its either this or a ipad.

we also own a Samsung tab here wich has 3gb of memory, but frankly that device performance is even worse then the n9 due to samsungs bloatware. The only reason for a Samsung tab would be to buy it then flash cyanogenmod on it on something.
But yes, I do agree there is rather a lack of quality android tablets. tbh I might consider just buying a Surface tablet next, they start out at 500 bucks i believe, wich is like 50 bucks more then what i paid for the N9.
The reason I went with nexus devices is purely because they are as stock and bloatware free as possible, but the N9 in general is just bad. my 2012 N5 still performs fine.
We just have to hope for a N9 2016 or something with a quad core cpu (and that not being a nvidia tegra) and 3 or 4gb of memory.

Yea thats why i went nexus too i have a lot of device's but nothing beats a stock version of Android with quick updates, i cant stand samsung bloatware, TouchWiz but it's hardware is the best out there. As far as the surface unless it's a work devise i wouldn't recommend it. I actually have a Dell Venue pro with Windows 10, full version has a beautiful screen fast processor actually quite beautiful tablet . But windows ten as a tablet is terrible if you are just using it to read and watch movies and basic stuff, especially if you are tied into the Google ecosystem. The lack of quality apps just makes it worse there are work arounds for most things but they can usually **** up and generally at the most importune times. I really tried to make it work cause i like the tablet but i just cant, that's why i got this but I'm weighing my options now after reading thru these forums.
I'm also looking to get this tablet haven't had a tablet since 2013 how are the tablet apps for Android?

All things aside, the biggest downfall for this device is its 2gb of memory and its rather crappy dual core socket. (wich performs exceptionally well in single-thread, just dont expect anything that has to do with multithread and multitasking)
as for the memory, with the amount of pixels this device has you will average 500~600mb ram just to load most assets. they really should have given this device 3gb memory.

Dual core and 2GB RAM works very well for iOS. I don't expect that to mean much but there's no excuse for the performance issues really as a Nexus device is already stripped to bare essentials.
Why do I have no issues whatsoever with my n9!

hello, so I'm looking to buy redmi note 4 snapdragon 625 for eu market but still not sure about the amount of RAM, I'm not into any kind of social media, no fb,snapchat etc. so this apps won't work in background 24/7 like on other phones, I'm gonna use it mostly for browser, some reddit, news apps, google maps, youtube, and other utility apps like office suit for pdf, some basic logic games maybe some rts if I find any but none of this shooters or racing games such as asphalt the other thing is android I think about 7.0 and MIUI 8 but not sure about that because I didn't do any reserch about that yet, so which one you recommend 3/32 or 4/64?
4/64 and yes the latest version of miui 8 is 7.o

Well, if you have extra bucks for 4/64, just go for it, why not, right?
I used 3/32 version, just for social media, browsing, streaming (youtube/twitch), some games (not heavy games though), its served me very well.
Wait for xiaomi redmi note 5.
If you eager to use note 4x, choose 4gb/64gb
If you want to save money choose 3g/32gb
Stay away from 2gb/16gb and 3g/16gb
4gb/64gb ?

theoretically I could buy 4/64 but in reality it's 50$ difference and with 0 social media working in the background, without all these notifications and stuff it's just not efficient to go for 4/64 in my opinion, that one gb of ram will just sit there doing nothing since snapdragon 625 won't utilize it, my concern is more around how will it perform on android 7.0 and MIUI 9 and after all I have 50$ more for a student that's a lot,especially from my country, for that 50$ I could buy a nice case like for 7 dollars and some decent headphones and maybe I would still have some money left, I'm gonna use this phone for at least 4 years tho and with time that one gigabyte might find some usage, I'm completely lost tbh

Yeah i'm a collage student too
My first phone is redmj note 3 pro with 2gb ram, i bought it with 150 USD 1 years ago.
I thought it would be great for social app, but it keep loading app and hanging. I try custom rom and AOSP rom but no luck and that time, i regret if i bought 3gb ram it could be different.
And lucky for me, 1 weeks ago, i accidentally saw redmi note 4x with 4gb ram just only 175 USD ( it's old modern with 11 months warranty left ) i buy it and very happy.
So i sale note 3 pro with 80 Usd.
If you not have enough money just go for 3gb ram, but if you want to use in long term, consider to choose 4gb ram ( just my opinion and experience)
There is no difference of 3gb and 4gb....
Its more 32/64gb

Well, I am fully understand that. But since you intended for long term uses, go for 4/64. That's just my suggestion though.
Right now, 3 gigs ram its very enough. But 2-3 years later who knows?
3GB ram still perform amazingly, especially just for normal daily uses. Don't you worry about it, not kind of big different.

after a lot of reserch not only here but at least 6 other forums I'm getting closer towards 4/64 version, I'm buying it for a long time and that 30-40$ is not worth a **** up

Yeah, everyone just go big or go home right?
But, don't listen to the others tho, if you think 4/64 not worth it and over killed for your daily uses, buy 3/32 version. Don't worry about performances, its the same with 4/64, except for heavy games. Cheers.
So yesterday I bought the tab 7+ and super excited, untill I met a friend who told me the iPad pro is much better! He showed me a bench mark video where iPad beats the tab on every aspect.
So my question, shall I open the tab7+ or return it for iPad? And why?
What's more relevant is how the benchmarks translate into real world performance for normal tasks. There are also other factors to consider. I own an iPad Pro and I hate not having expandable storage. The iPad Pro is also more expensive and requires spending another $100+ on a pencil. S7+ has a better screen. iPad Pro doesn't have Dex OS features, etc.
Why would anyone switch a fully customizable tablet with something that's locked has less ram and has a worse screen Is the question. Benchmarks are meaningless when important factors come into place also they don't translate much in the real world.

My other issue is that the apps on iPad are more compatible than on Android tablets in general. Bench mark is usually what makes a device more reliable in the future or as I understood from my friend. Which means in a year time the tablet still perform as new where the tablet gets laggy over time. Please correct me if I am wring

You're wrong. Samsung devices lag over time has been a thing of the past for awhile now. YouTube has many videos comparing the two.

I have more apps on my Tab S7 than i do on my ipad pro even the apps that dont support tablets i can optimize them to work how i want them to. You can't do that on an Ipad.
My tablet has been running for a month now never lagged once.
Ok then that's solve it.. I will open my box and if experienced any lag I will hunt you down :silly:
No seriously, thank you

bro it has a 865+ you dont need to worry about performance for at least 2 years.
i have ipad 6th gen and ipad air2 and in my opinion ipad os is too annoying because i hate when i dont have proper access to the file system. secondly expandable storage need i say more? lastly i just hate apple products , i have ipads macbook and iphone i am in the eco system but whenever i want to do any sort of file sharing with windows or android devices which i also have then it gets sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo annoying makes me wanna burn apple products down .
long story short dont worry about your tablet . you'll enjoy it
In short, I'd say Samsung/Android gives you choices, Apple doesn't. Some people hate to have choices, some can't do without. You decide what is important for you.
I like to have choices, and I am very happy with the Tab S7+.

IPhones and iPads always do much better than Android devices in benchmarks but in real world use the Android counterparts perform faster in speed tests. Comparing my Tab S7+ to the iPad, it's actually faster and just as smooth as the iPad pro. It also has numerous Advantages over the IPad pro.
- Has Micro SD card support
- Comes with a stylus right out of the box
- Unlike the Apple pencil the S Pen doesn't not need to be charged to work (only needs a charge for Bluetooth/gesture functions)
- Tab S 7+ is more functional right out of the box
- Screen looks better than IPad
I could go on.
I got the S7+ last Saturday and I'm very happy. In my country, Samsung's having promotion which give away the keyboard cover. So I just need to buy SD card and hub to make it a perfect laptop.
I've just used S7+ for some minor gaming, emulator + Word + Excel + PPT + Ecosia...
Believe in me, the S7+ will not make you feel you'in in jail like iPad Pro

My Tab S7+ had 6 GB ram, the iPad Pro has 6 GB ram.
Also people choose Apple over Android mostly because of the eco system. If you already have an iPhone and/or Mac it makes more sense to go with an iPad as everything fits better between devices.

The 865+ can't even play League of Legends: Wild Rift on ultra with a locked 60 fps, I had framedrops down to 50-52 in fights. My three and a half year old iPad Pro 2017 (A10X chip) never drops one frame. Same for Call of Duty Mobile, Pubg Mobile and other games. Yes the 865+ is nice, but at least in gaming performance it's worse than the A10X, leave alone the A12X / A12Z (iPad Pro 2018/2020) .

Yes, having choices is aweseome. I actually wanted to change from my 2017 iPad Pro to the Tab S7(+) because the screen aspect ratio is wider (16:10) and with apps I can change it to 16:9 and output that via hdmi. Unfortunately both the S7 and the S7+ can not output hdmi without disconnecting every few minutes (the developers know about it but who knows when it is fixed... weeks, months?).

I had the Tab S7, Tab S7+, iPad Pro 2020 and iPad Pro 2017 here. The S7's are on par with the 2017 iPad Pro, a bit faster in quite some apps, slower in most demanding games. The S7's stand no chance in performance heavy tasks against the 2020 iPad Pro. App/game load times, heavy duty video rendering the S7's get demolished.
I understand 90%+ of all people using their tablet will not need that extra performance or even notice they are missing it (you only really notice when you compare the devices side by side)

Even tho I kind of "rambled" about how the iPad Pro in fact IS faster (not "better") it all depends what YOU want to do with it.
- Do you watch a lot of movies/series on your tablet? Any "dark" content will look better due to the OLED display on the S7+ (for example the series Daredevil or Punisher... sooo many night scenes). Also the 16:10 screen aspect ratio is nicer for watching video in my opinion
- Do you game a lot? If yes, HEAVY games? Do you care about having ultra quality? Then the iPad Pro is MUCH more capable and will be enough for at least 1-2 more years to come. If you don't play the heaviest games or don't need ultra quality in every game then the Tab S7+ will do just fine!
- Do you want to expand storage with a SD card? -> Ipads can't do that
- Do you surf the web a lot? The iPad Pro's screen aspect ratio feels a lot better for me doing that.
- Do you hold your tablet a lot in your hand for long periods of time? If yes, the S7+ is ~70 grams lighter compared to the 12.9" iPad Pro. This doesn't sound like too much but you will notice it quite a bit after some time
I have iPad air 3 (2019) previusly an iPad air1. Along 5 Years only with iPad and a Lot of Android phones.
Always i say: the best tablet Is an iPad with ipadOS, but now i bought a tab S7,
With only 24hours of use i say:
- multimedia, this Samsung S7 rocks, 16:10, 4 speakers Is really clear.
- multitasking: Snapdragon and 6gb ram runs everything, multitask with 4 apps in the same time Is really great, dex option mindblow my mind.
- the fast charge 2.0 with 45w Is mindblow!!.
- Google services, Chromecast
- APKs (jejeje)
- i connect a sdcard reader direct to the USB C Port.
- i put +256gb with a microsd card for 25usd (cybermonday)
But, not everything Is ok:.
- games, graphics sucks, the resolution of cod and pubg sucks!.
- multigestures, in iPad in have a Lot of usefull gestures, with 4 fingers i can change apps, minimize, Run the last apps running, etc.
- iPadOs Is the best Tablet OS, i can Run a side (Edge) app in Mobile version.
- i can control volumen from the taskbar without the fisical buttons.
Galaxy TAB S7+ has one of the worst screen you can put in a tablet because it has PWM and burned highlights, I have the S7 and is miles away better screen than S7+, for gaming the iPad I think is much better than the Android ones, for the rest I prefer Android and the S7 that is excelent for the use I do and doesn't hurt my eyes like my phone with the crappy oled screen with PWM.
On my tab smart view doesn't work it will not cast to my TV my phone connects first go but not this tablet and no one seems to know why.

I swapped an iPad Pro 12.2 for this Samsung, and I'm sorry I did. Had I known in advance that there was no earphone plug on the Samsung, I'd not have made the swap at all. So my answer is: return it.

I have often wondered exactly how to describe the MAIN is with an iPad (my iPad Pro is a wonderful device and the Magic keyboard makes it even better BUT) proper access to the file system literally annoys me almost EVERY time I use it. Saving photos or files from another device or camera, files from an email, a PDF it just annoys the CRAP out of me. And the point is nailed home EVERY time I ask my 29yo iOS fanboy ..... “if you had this situation, how would you do it (like saving a file)” ..... watching him fumble convinced me that although overall the iPad is ready to use the proper access to the file system is an almost deal killer
If you never use a PC and only use Mac then staying in the same ecosystem with the iPad might be enough to learn the other way but if you still use a PC then the iPad will be a good device but for me always leaving me wanting
