    Imperator Neubaticus, 26 Jul 20176gb is plenty good enough for now. No doubt 8gb will make i... more6 GB will hopefully be enough for a few years (if you are not into VR). Optimized ROM with removed bloatware (Bixby) is more important.

      AnonD-234645, 26 Jul 2017The more ram your smartphone has. the better it preforms. I... moreYou can wait. Only recently, 8GB of DDR3L/DDR4 became the base standard for PCs/Mac. Phones are growing in RAM faster, but 16GB of DDR4 costs 200$. LPDDR4X RAM upgrades will be a lot more pricey.

      Off course, you can settle for phones using the rest of the LPDDR2 RAM unused stocks and eMMC 2 storage.

          That makes a possible 1,384 Gigabytes of storage, with a theoretical 3.128TB of storage.

          Well, don't forget USB portable HDDs, with whom you can get 2, 3,4,5TB of storage...

            384GB and 512GB microSD storage? LOL! Can anyone afford a microSD card that cost $1,000?!?!?!?!?!

                Imperator Neubaticus, 26 Jul 2017I dont see why id personally need 8gb of ram, but that 256g... morePhones are not lobotomized by windows . That means that the more you give them the more they use.

                A bit of how 1TB of storage is better than 120GB of storage (you *are* going to use it eventually), that's how more ram works. Given that phones rarely reboot, eventually they end up with most stuff on ram. That means that after a few weeks your phone is blazingly fast (everything runs of ram).

                And given that android O kills memory bugs and battery leaks , you won't have an issue by basically uploading your whole is on ram. If you think about it in that way 8 gigs are still few. Most use more than 10GB of data daily (OS + apps used + daily web content)...

                    ...and 4GB of Ram . Because no emperor is like an emperor without clothes.

                      Anonymous, 26 Jul 2017Well, I hope that the LG V30 will also have 6 gig of RAM. O... moreYes, definitely. Hopefully the V30 will include a 6GB RAM as base, as well. For a better competition, etc.

                        Lol add a 256GB SD card and you can backup your whole pc on it 😂... It should be the Note 8 backup eddition... Ohh and it doesnt stop there, connect a 256GB OTG capable USB and you can store unlimited QHD content of... You know :D

                              Well, I hope that the LG V30 will also have 6 gig of RAM. Otherwise no competition with Samsung unfortunately.

                                I don't know why there is no demand for a bigger battery. I mean, Samsung must have done something like make more room for a bigger battery or invest in researching bigger capacity small form factor batteries.

                                A 3600mah battery or even a 3500mah battery is a must. Definitely not the speculated 3300mah. Any software optimisation will wear off over a year or two. What other innovation does this phone offer to cost so much? Like, more than twice how much it costs to produce a phone like that? Has samsung become like apple ? Just caring about gaining profit and have people buy new phones every year?

                                  It wound be disappointing if we don't have the 256gb in the USA or if the 125gb version isn't available on day one in the states.

                                    Hmm, emperor edition! I guess they chose this name because phone will cost as much as the death star....

                                      The memory spec is a joke and gimmick to make a fanboy or a spec hunter fall into to buy this,plus it will very expensive $1k for a phone?,8gb of ram is gimmick,4gb ram is already good enough for daily usage,256gb is alot,but its gimmick and good reason to put it at higher price ,even my 7 years old laptop with 250gb only fill about 60% ,i not a hater ,think logically its a phone,not super computer,

                                        I dont see why id personally need 8gb of ram, but that 256gb internal storage sounds awesome.
