storage after 32gb sd card install

[gooneruk]

Hi guys . Am I right in asumming that the note 2 has 16gb of internal strorage ? If so if I install a 32gb sd card will I get an extra free 32gb of storage or just and extra 16gb ?

32gb sd + 16gb internal = 48gb. In reality, internal memory is only10.9 gb.

With formatting and other stuff (computer magic) you'll get about 29~30 extra GB's extra, with the added card.

To add further complication:

Adding an external card will give you flexibility on the amount of data you get to carry with you. The only thing to remember is that you cannot install apps to the external card using stock. All apps will reside in the internal memory without an option to move to external card. There are a few apps (ie. Navigon, Bard's Tale) that will allow data to be moved/installed into the external card and still work. That's because the developer actually took the time to write it in their program.

If you want apps in the external card, you will need to look at rooting the device and using directory bind to flip the internal/external storage recognition in the device.

Yup, this is true...and shows that Android is moving to Apple's internal memory model, which is more stable and more secure. In addition to above, REAL RACING 3 actually installs most of it on SD card!

The only thing that I have on my SD card is movies and other various data (such as camera pics).
