Phone & tablet
Your Android phone and tablet can work together to help you get the
most out of both:
» Transfer media and files: Copy files to your phone and transfer them
to other devices—see Share files with your computer.
» Phone hotspot: If you have a Wi-Fi tablet, turn your phone into a Wi-Fi
hotspot to let your tablet access the Internet anywhere—see Wi-Fi
hotspot.
» Bluetooth® accessories: If you have a Bluetooth keyboard or other
accessories to use with your tablet, remember you can use them with
your phone too. To connect them, see Connect with Bluetooth
wireless.

same Wi-Fi network.

> Disconnect.
Use a memory card
You can move pictures, videos, audio, and other media files from internal
phone storage to a microSD card (sold separately).
