Storage and memory

Your device has several different storage and memory options:
•
The internal storage stores downloaded or transferred content along with personal
settings and data.
•
You can use a removable memory card to get more storage space. Media files and
some apps, along with their associated data, can be moved to this type of memory to
free up internal storage. Some apps, for example, the Camera app, can save data
directly to a memory card.
•
The dynamic memory (RAM) cannot be used for storage. RAM is used to handle
running applications and the operating system.
You can purchase a memory card separately.

•
Clear the cache memory for all applications.
•
Uninstall downloaded applications that you don't use.
•
Move applications to the memory card if the internal storage is full.
