Memory and storage
Your device has different types of memory and storage possibilities for photos, apps and
other files:
• The internal storage is about 32 GB and is used to store downloaded or transferred
content along with personal settings and data. Examples are alarm, volume and
language settings, emails, bookmarks, call logs, contacts, messages, calendar events,
photos, videos and music.
• You can use a removable memory card of up to 128 GB to get more storage space.
Most applications can read data from a memory card but only certain apps can save files
to this type of memory. You can, for example, set the camera application to save photos
directly to the memory card.
• The dynamic memory (RAM) is about 3 GB and cannot be used for storage. RAM is
used to handle running applications and the operating system.
You may have to purchase a memory card separately.

• Always have more than 100 MB of free internal storage and more than 100 MB of free
RAM.
• Close down running applications that you are not using.
• Clear the memory cache for all applications.
• Uninstall downloaded applications that you don't use.
• Transfer photos, videos, and music from the internal memory to the memory card.
• If your device can't read content on the memory card, you may need to format it.
