16GB with no expansion must be a little crammed, of which Windows probably takes a few. How many FREE GB are available on the phone?

Looking at Storage Sense on the phone, I see System takes 3.21 gb, temp files is 600mb. Between my apps, photos, music, and email, I'm using 10.6gb right now.

After installing all my apps I have 10.7 GB free. OneDrive is now 15 GB free, so I don't have any issue with space

The Phone's cores files which are labeled as "System" in the storage breakdown in your settings take up a total of 2.29GB. But you also have to remember that this phone comes with 7GBs of cloud storage as well. That amount can go up when you start using the service, such as when you turn photo syncing and what-not on which gives 3GBs. And when you refer people you get another 5GBs.

If you are running the default windows install, it has another partition of about 24GB for recovery and swap and things like that, so that's your 104GB. The rest of the 35GB I assume is all the files that windows needs to work, all the applications and overhead. Don't forget there is a microsd slot, that's another 64GB for $50.

The stated internal storage capacity is 1.06 GB. Not much, but the version of Android that the phone uses allows you to choose whether to write to the internal storage or an external SD card by default. Many downloaded apps can be run directly off of an external SD card thanks to this and spare what little internal storage there is.

All depends on what you plan to use it for. Usually more is better. I have the 16GB unit and that is fine for me. I will never use the 16GB. But if you plan to download a real lot then get the bigger one. There is an expansion slot on all.

I just reset the memory in my Huawei Glory because I'm no longer using it and hope to unload it. The storage settings I read on the screen are as follows: Total Space: 2.71GB; Apps: 91.40MB; Audio: (music, ringtones) 32.00KB; Available: 2059GB, 5.07MB for applications only. This is with no SD card; only the default apps, ringtone and settings. Maybe if you root it, it could be a good phone, but I wouldn't bet on it.

I am not sure but very little. When I purchased this phone I entered a 2Gb card into the phone and it wouldn't work because it said that the memory was too full. Therefore, I purchased a 16Gb card on Amazon and that allowed me to surf the internet. But VERY............slow!

No, this phone don't have expansión for additional storage. 16 gb or 32gb internal memory of factory.

Its 1gb.. If you find it listed somewhere else there's a chance the other site had a typo or you found a similar phone that has less RAM.

So between the 16GB and 32GB, could you get by with a 16 for say 100 songs, 5 movies at a time, 3000 pictures and maybe 10 game apps?

It has 16 gigs. So far a great computer. Takes a while to get used to windows 8 but a fine purchase.

It says it's 4GB, but you can really use about 1GB, the rest is used by the OS

It has about 8 gigs in it.Although, I recently bought this and I liked the phone but it would not work at all with the activation codes. I would'nt take the chance in buying this.

With more GB you are able to store more stuff onto your device. If you have 16gb you'll have less room to store all of your apps, movies, music, and other stuff

No, But it does have 32 gigs of space! It connects to a skye Drive so I highly doubt I will ever need to expand. I am looking into finding a unlocked version of the phone. Because Metro PCS Just bought out T-Mobile so guess what that means. Unlimited Talk, Text and Data and all Taxes included for a awesome price. The only thing I am having trouble with is my music syncing up from my PC. Other than that Love my new phone. Microsoft hit a home run with windows 8 don't care what anyone is saying about it. Totally blown away.

Yes, Windows takes a lot of space. There's about 11 GB left free out of the box with the 32 GB model. You can get 5 GB more free space by deleting the recovery partition (after making one or more flash drive copies!); it's very simple, with an app already set up to do it in the "all apps" view. You can get another 1.6 GB by disabling hibernate mode (Google for it if you're interested), which doesn't really cost you anything since hibernate is not available anyway. You can also add a micro-SD card with up to 64 GB of storage (it's drive D:) and put all your heavy applications and data there. Yes, you can use a mouse and keyboard -- either Bluetooth or, if you buy a USB OTG (On-the-Go) adapter for a couple of bucks, via USB. You just can't charge the tablet and use USB peripherals at the same time, since the USB port is used for both and even with a splitter cable the Encore only does one or the other at a time.
