8gb or the 12gb variant - OnePlus Nord Guides, News, & Discussion

Hey guys... Im about to buy the nord but I'm stuck between 8gb and 12gb variant. Currently I'm using huawei p20 pro with 6gb ram and its been ok with ocassionaly stutters and lags. Im not a gamer and in don't exactly multitask with my phone.
I use my phone mainly for browsing/messaging/youtube/.
Should I get the 12gb variant for future proofing or would the 8gb suffice? The price difference here in Malaysia is about rm300 (USD 74).

More ram is good... never regretted getting more of it.

It looks like a 6GB Note 7 is hitting the market soon. I might wait for that one.

It won't have T-Mobile support with band 12 and Volte. Doubt they would support a overseas/us variant and offer actual T-Mobile customers the 4gb model.

I don't care about T-Mobile. Anyways the point here is why not offer one variant for everybody with 6GB RAM. RAM is cheap and Note would have benefited from extra RAM. We also pay $850+ so that should be enough money for them to give everyone top notch hardware.

I think the gray market it's much faster than that, sure will be available at eBay or Amazon a week later, but won't be cheap, that's it's sure.
I read a comment on some moron about 6gb doesn't impact the performance, seems he never used instagram more than 5 flips.
6gb doesn't make a phone faster but are a safe against ever more memory hungry apps.
I'm disappointed too about the Note 7, I delayed my phone purchase waiting for 6gb+newest SOC, neither arrived just an S7 Edge with few newer tricks non-android std.

I meant they might push the official 6GB RAM release in USA by 1 month. Yeha I am pissed off too that they didn't upgrade the RAM. RAM is cheap actually. Too bad some people are blind and they would buy anything Samsung offers. W.e though. It is what it is I guess.

Because not everyone needs 6GB of RAM? Doesn't make us blind idiots. My 3GB RAM phone is still fluid, fast, and feels brand new. I'm not worried about 4GB not being enough.

Exactly note 4 has 3GB ram and I never had problems with ram management. Unless google decides to make some critical changes to android (chances are slim, but hey they're unpredictable) I don't see 4GB of being a problem for next 2 years.
Is not a rumour, it's confirmed and will cost you about 80$ over regular dual sim model.
Originally planned for China, Sammy doesn't discard to include more markets (gray importers on party now)
So is it true that the improved Note 7 with 6GB ram is coming later on or is this just a roumor?

From the reports, I have seen, it is a CHINA Only model, even has Chinese govt bloatware.....
Not out yet — with prior Note versions there's always been reports that Chinese versions are about to come out with — usually — more internal storage, and they never materialized.
So am curious if this one will actually appear…

Guaranteed this will be launched by Samsung in a few months as the Galaxy Note 7 Pro. Look what it's already done with the Galaxy A9 Pro. Seriously it's basically a given. Heck, here in Japan the company even re-launched the Galaxy S3 back in the day with the enhanced specs that were in the Korea model at the time.

Really? Your pissed off because the RAM wasn't upgraded? I was hoping for more RAM, but I've never had an issue with memory. You can easily manage with 4gb. If you're so disillusioned stay on the OnePlus. No one asked you to join the party, and the OnePlus line of phones has always been a great bargain alternative.
I'm a recent fan of Samsung mainly because of the Note line of phones. Stylus is now a requirement for me as I really missed it in the two weeks I was on the s7 edge.

I'm not that optimistic — supposedly the 6GB SM-N9000 was rumored to appear in China as of next Thursday — September 1ˢᵗ… So far no advance word — historically with Samsung this has meant the advance “rumors” don't materialize…

I can't imagine why you would actually need 6gb ram unless you have 30 apps open all the time. Still, I think samsung charge enough (!) For the ordinary version to include the extra ram and storage.

32gb vs 64gb

Hello, I'm currently eye-ing the 32gb version of this phone.
Does this have a gimped/binned SoC vs the 64gb version?
Like what the mi5 has?

No, think it is identical other than size. The 32GB is proper fast ufs2.0 stuff too, not slower storage like on the 32GB iPhone.

Mate 10 Pro 64GB 4GB RAM or 128GB 6GB Ram

Hello,
I am thinking of buying Mate 10 pro but my concern is whether to select 64GB 4GB RAM or 128GB 6GB Ram.
Anyone using 64GB version? Is it enough? Storage is not a problem. I can live with 32GB or even 16GB. But I am thinking about RAM and performance.
Please advice. This will be my first huawei flagship. Thank you.
The 64GB comes with a dual sim / SDCard, the 128GB does not..
Im in UK, so, by default, we only get the Mate 10 Pro 128GB version (L09)... either Unlocked from Carphone or Vodafone UK exclusive
In my experience.. If you use your phone for music and lots of 4K video, but not games... go for 64GB & SDCard.. If you play games and want performance and speed.. with less chance of lag in 6 mnths time, get 128 / 6GB.
In 2018, youll never have to live with 16 or even 32GB of storage.. even the mid-range SONY XA2 or Honor devices have 32 or 64GN of storage..
Perrsonally, I dont play games on my phone.. so the Pro suites me fine, but like its little brother the P10 Plus... an SD Card wouldve been nice,
Oh Yeah.. and a Damn 3.5mm Headphone Jack <<Sighs>>
thank you. i'll try to stretch the budget to get the 128GB + 6GB ram. thank you. Ps, im still thinking of note 8 as well but the fact that it is still running nougat, it disappoints me.
got the 128GB version. thanks

Question Does the UK pre order with double storage have 12gb Ram?

Hi, there are a lot of ads showing double space for the s23, 512gb storage instead of 256gb
There's no mention if this means you get the 12gb ram model or is it still 8gb?
From what I have read, 12gb ram might start at the 512gb storage model, so maybe it does?
Regards
James
Both 512gb and 1tb models come with 12mb ram, so only 256gb model is 8mb ram
Thanks Raul
