"How much storage do you currently have available on your phone or tablet?"

Geoffrey P. Spicer 16gb galaxys3 @amicro sim for more.

Dhun Patel 32 out of 64gb

Anthony Bailey Well, I have about 74GB available on my Galaxy Note II since I have a 64GB Class 6 microSD card installed. That's where phones like the iTurd and HTC One fail. I don't care about cloud storage. I want removable storage on-hand so I have tons of full-HD movies, music, music videos, and games on my Note II. Still, I don't like the fact that Jelly Bean limits storage of games to internal memory if you're not rooted.
