badb0y Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Hey guys, I just bought a brand new Galaxy S5 unlocked from a retailer for $500. I thought the deal was good so I bought it and it's my first android device. So I had a question about storage. Do you guys keep stuff like songs, videos and pics on internal memory or sd card? And do you think that, the more loaded internal memory, the less performance you get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And do you think that, the more loaded internal memory, the less performance you get? i use internal memory, it is enough for me (as well as some stuff in the cloud) no, the available internal storage does not affect the performance. unless maybe you get it to 99-100% percent full.... (i don't know how caching works on android exactly) so, do not worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACTIONpack Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 You should always keep about 10% of your internal storage free. Anything after 90% of use will slow down performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you use an SD card, get a Class 10 card. Pay a little more, but better performing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draconian Guppy Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 SD card storage is good since you can easily remove and backup your info. If you use an SD card, get a Class 10 card. Pay a little more, but better performing. I always use SD card for the same reason... Want to upgrade android? Remove SD card without worrying about losing any valuable information. As for performance, I remember there was an article ( I'll try to find it) that how android caches videos and photos in the gallery, having a high performance card is only needed IF you are playing high bitrate movies (bluray and above). That said, I bought a class 4 32gb sandisk for my galaxy s4 and now g3... no issues whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please lemme know which brand should I buy. Go for the 2nd Amazon SD card link you posted. As far as a tempered screen protector, just do a search and read user reviews... http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dwireless-aps&field-keywords=galaxy+s5+tempered+glass+screen+protector&rh=i%3Awireless-aps%2Ck%3Agalaxy+s5+tempered+glass+screen+protector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draconian Guppy Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Glass screen protectors never really caught my attention, I prefer the self healing plastics made by skinomi or armorsuit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
