I just downloaded and installed the April security patch on my Note8, little larger than 500MB.

For me it's enough. In fact, I already have enough with 32GB of storage as like on My Nokia Lumia 1020 and 930. But when someones uses their phone for movies, mp3, many many many photos of the highest quality etc... then you cna opt for the 256GB ver...
