● Phone storage. This is the internal storage which contains the Android system, preinstalled
apps, email, text messages, and cached data from the apps. You can also install apps that you've
downloaded and capture photos, videos, and screenshots to this storage.
● SD card (Storage card). Use your SD card (purchased separately) as a removable storage to
store and access your media and other files on HTC U11 or any Android phone, or set it up as an
extension of the internal storage. See SD Card Storage Settings.
● USB storage. When you plug in an external USB storage device (such as a USB flash drive or
an SD card reader). You need a special cable to connect your phone and a USB storage device.
SD Card Storage Settings
Use your SD card as removable storage when there's already content such as your media and other files
so that you don't lose that content. If you have a brand new SD card, choose whether to use it as
removable storage or set it up as an extension of the internal storage.
Removable Storage
Use a new SD card as removable storage to be able to insert and use the card on HTC U11 and other
Android phones.
Internal Storage
Set up a new SD card as internal storage for more privacy and secure use. This encrypts and formats the
SD card to work just like the internal storage.
This also expands the storage space since:
● Captured screenshots, camera shots, media, and other files will be stored on the SD card.
● Third-party apps that you installed and their data can be moved between the on-device storage
and SD card.
Important: After setting up the SD card as internal storage, the SD card can only be used on HTC U11
where it has been formatted.
Set Up Your SD Card as Internal Storage
When you insert a SD card that has not been used on HTC U11 before, the card will be mounted as
removable storage by default. If the SD card is new or doesn't have content you want to keep, you can
format the SD card to use it as internal storage for HTC U11.
See SD Card Storage Settings to find out the differences between using the SD card as removable
storage or internal storage.
Important: If there are still files on the SD card, back up the files first before you format the card.
