Memory and storage
Your device has different types of memory and storage possibilities for photos, apps
and other files:
•
The internal storage is about 12/25 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, 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 cache memory 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.
