Help Is it possible to fit all that you need in a 16GB phone

[Ben Smith]

i'm buying the LG G2, and all of the Australian versions are ridiculously expensive. So in trying to save some money, I'm considering buying a 16Gb version. In reality, you'll end up getting about 10GB of free storage (the operating system/pre-installed apps take up about 6GB).

I'm not a heavy user, but I'll be taking some photos and videos, and I'll use Spotify for some music. I'll have about 6-7 games, and maybe a couple (3-5) uni-related documents, etc.
Do you think I'll be able to fit everything I need into this 10GB device?

Doesn't the G2 come with an SD Card? You can store a lot of the stuff on there.

I use my phone in a similar manner to you and with an SD Card, 16 GB internal has never been a problem for me (I get circa 11GB usable).

I'd try to store videos to SD if you can, or copy them off to a computer, because if you take those regularly they can eat a fair bit of space.

As for games, it depends on what sort of games. 2048, Angry Birds, that type of thing, no problem - 50-150 MB each. The latest high-end 3D games will consume > 1GB each though, so 6-7 of those will take a big bite out of your internal storage. I don't play such things, so don't know how easy it is to more parts of them to the removable SD - hopefully someone with experience will be able to answer that if those are of interest to you.

No, there is no SD card slot on the LG G2. This is one of the only downsides of this phone

I think it's like moving to a bigger house mate, the more room you have the more "crap" you accumulate!! I definitely think that 16 GB is a lot for a phone to have (my first lap top had 4gb of hard drive, lol) if you keep only what you really NEED, and either delete the rest or save it to a PC!

I'm currently using a 16gb phone with no sd card slot and it's fine for me but I'm not a gamer, don't take many vids/pics and don't need my phone for music right now.
My last phone was 16gb but I had a 32gb sd card that was mainly filled with music and nandroid backups (another thing to take into consideration if you're going to root and rom the phone)
