If its available and you can afford the extra, yes, its a no brainer.

Is there any big performance difference?

Around 5%, but the extra 16GB storage is very helpful.

Like @jhericurls said, the extra 1 GB of RAM is negligble for now (since the apps are optimized for 2 GB), but the extra 16 GB is huge, if you intend on loading any apps directly onto the phone (not all apps can be installed on the microSD card, so for me this was a key factor in going for a 32 GB model). I've got a 32 GB microSDHC card I am using for my media mostly.

So on T-Mobile site for GS2 specs, it says that it can support upto 32 GB of additional storage. However on the box, it said some what 48 GB. Do they mean 32 GB exteranl + 16 GB internal??
Exactly, 48 is the maximum capacity
16 pin the internal and up to 32 external

More than likely. I have a 32gb and the internal 16gb. There's no such thing as a 48gb card.

technically speaking there is no such thing as MAX MEMORY unless you are talking about RAM which we are are Maxed out at 1GB
there is a MAX internal storage space of 16GB give or take a few GB for the internal ROM Apps
and there is simply no MAX external storage, as you can swap to any amount of external SD card
even the 64 GB works with our phone.... a bit waaaaay too overpriced if you ask me
soon enough when the 128 GB comes out the 64 GB will drop in price
so until then carrying a few extra 32 GB is the best deal at the moment

Thanks AllGamer.So, when they say 'Upto 32 GB' doesn't this mean that we cannot insert external storage of more than 32 GB. Has anyone tried the 64 GB storage and if the phone recognizes it, does it show the 64 GB space. It'll be gud to know if someone has tried and can confirm as you do not want to make a weird face if you buy and it did not work
it works, there's a video floating around.
all you need to do is format it with the phone itself or linux
you don't get full 32 GB on a 32 GB SD card, you get like 29GB, same goes for the 64GB you get around 59GB after the format
Just to clarify, 32GB is absolutely the max amount you can have on this device. any 64gb microsd are actually a new type of card, (SDXC) Previous generations are (SDHC) which has a maximum capacity of 32GB... make no mistake, the 32GB limit is a limit of the SDHC slot on the device, new 64gb cards will not work.
that's turning into an urban legend...
very few devices OLD devices have that limitation
any thing that came out in the past 2 years can read the 64GB microSDXC, you just need to format it
you don't even need to partition it, just throw it into the phone, go to settings internal storage format, done
Ill be damned... You are right, looks like lots of these devices will accept sdxc cards.... Sorry for spouting misinformation.

I was wondering if there is a way or is it possible to buy a 16 gb model of the note 2 and manually change the internal memory to a 32/64 gb. This is because they probably wont sell the 32/64gb models here in the Philippines. So I'm planning to buy the 16gb model and have it manually upgraded to the 32/64gb memory. Like taking apart the note and replace the part that contains the 16gb memory and switch it with the 32 or 64 gb. Not sure how it works but maybe its possible? Thanks
Hell no unless you can grab another motherboard from a different model

Just put in a 64 GB external sdcard dude , this is realy a noobish question mate.
This mod in effect makes Android believe that the sd card is the internal memory so you could add 64gb of internal memory

rhis is a dead thread.. anyone know where the updated steps are? i have 2 gbs left.. i have 64 gb micro sd card...
Hi, I would like to buy the cheap version (2GB RAM 16GB ROM) but I am afraid not to have a community to help me to "improve" it.
What I need is basically some future update and very important be able to root it.
What do u suggest?
There isn't one

Why?
PS: I had to edit it cuz it missed "rooted".
GSM-Arena says the minimum RAM is 3 GB and the minimum storage is 32 GB, max is 4 GB and 128 GB and that's what I relied on. But then somewhere else I saw the specs you mentioned. I know Android hasn't used SD card memory well in the past. Music and apps and DRM-protected downloads were tied to internal memory and so 32 GB of internal memory was a minimum for me. But since Marshmallow those limits on SD storage are (supposedly) lifted and/or debugged.
So, I dunno. Try it, buying from a place that allows returns, and post what happens.

I have the 2gb version. But I don't understand your question.

Sorry for my english!
I saw a lot of post about Helium and Hydrogen but no one for the 2GB version. I am afraid to buy it and not be able to find a way to root it or flash a new rom (eg Cyanogen)...

I'm not going to root mines any. But I haven't found any support forums. But I'm sure it'll happen
I would go with the 32 GB version as youâ??ll get 1 extra gig of ram. Miui used quite a bit of it. I run mi max with miui 8 beta. Phone has been on for about a day. And I've got about 600 GB of ram free. I don't really use ram cleaner as it can mess with Androids memory managment. With two gigs of ram I think there will be more apps that get purged from memory i.e worse multitasking. Also the extra storage is kind of sweet.
I would not go for the snapdragon 652. Even though its a beast. Remember that its a bigLittle SoC. So during normal operation the 4x a53 cores will do most of the work. The two extra a72 cores wont really make that much of a difference. Games are still single threaded.. The only motivation is the 4gb of ram and the bigger e-penis.
How much is available out of the box? Thanks.
I got the 128 GB version and I see 111.32 GB as available space.

Same thing here.
On my 64Gb model it has 52,67Gb out of the box.
Hi everyone! I'm hoping you all can help me out. I'm contemplating purchasing a Note9 with 8GB or RAM. It costs $250 more than the 6GB RAM option though (granted it also quadruples your internal storage amount).
After this debate happened with the OnePlus 5T, many people said it would be better long-term to have the 8GB, but it wasn't necessary. Has there been any consensus reached, 1 year later, on whether the 8GB of RAM truly makes any difference in performance for users of the phone? I don't need more storage on the Note (although it would be cool), so I'm really thinking mostly about upgrading for RAM/future-proofing.
Thoughts? Thanks in advance!
I had the op3 with 6 GB Ram for 1.5 years. Now the 5t with 8 GB but they are NEVER full and usually I have 2-3 GB Ram free. 6 GB are certainly more than enough. Maybe in 2 or 3 years 8 COULD be better or faster but I think after 3 years you can also buy something new if you need top notch performance.
I've got the 5T with 8GB. Never seen 6GB used much less 8. In retrospect I should have gotten the model with 6 and saved my money. I figure by the time we need 8 the phone will be well past due for replacement.

Thank you both! This helps a lot.
It's not necessary but 8gb option has 128 gb memory.And there is no sd card slot
Could be helpful on resale....

Yeah, my situation is quite different. It's 128GB/6GB or 512GB/8GB. I definitely do not need 512GB of storage (and I have a 256GB SD card anyway), so it's really all about the RAM in my case.

My upgrade was more dramatic. I went from the N6 32Gb w/ 3gb ram to the OP5T 128gb w/ 8gb ram. I mostly game on my phones. I never maxed out my 3gb on the N6. IMO, Save your money and get the 6gb option. The tech will advance fast enough to warrant the new 8gb standard in a few years.
