Storage and Memory

Your device has several different storage and memory options.
•
The
internal storage
is about 16 GB and is used to store downloaded or transferred content along with
personal settings and data. Some examples of data saved to internal storage are alarm,
volume, and language settings; emails; bookmarks; calendar events; photos; videos and
music.
•
You can use a removable
memory card
with a storage capacity of up to 200 GB 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)
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.
