Galaxy S3 or Nexus 4?

10GB. Most of it is taken up by games I've downloaded. There is seriously no need to worry about the storage space, I've no idea what people intend on storing on their phones that is going to take up so much space.

Music takes up a good 10GB on my SGS3, I'm glad I have expandable storage.

Also it's incredibly easy to unlock the bootloader.

I usually put around 5GB of music on my phone. If you include pictures, videos, games and apps then that really limits the amount of space I'll have left. No doubt Google will follow the N7 and come out with a 32GB N4 in a year, but I can't wait that long.

Can someone explain what a bootloader is and what the benefits of unlocking it are please? I'm fairly new to the Android scene. @Recursion;

A locked bootloader only allows signed ROMs to be flashed. Basically this means a unlocked bootloader allows you to flash the ROM on the phone with anything you want therefore with a unlocked bootloader you can put custom versions of Android on the phone that have not been provided by the manufacturer.

You'll find many ROMs made by the community over at sites like xda-developers.com and without a unlocked bootloader you won't be able to use them.

Also if you want to modify the stock ROM on the phone (e.g root the phone) you'll need an unlocked bootloader unless some exploit is found.

Ah yeah, I've heard a bit about it. I don't think I'll be doing any of that, I'm happy with how they come. I know about Google Music, but I'd find constantly streaming music a bit annoying. What if I'm on the train or somewhere without signal? I prefer having music directly on the phone.

If only Google didn't try to make the Nexus 4 so cheap and just made it the best, then I wouldn't have this problem.
