Storage and memory
Your device has several different storage and memory options.
•
The internal storage is about 64 GB and is used to store downloaded or transferred
content along with personal settings and data. Some examples of data saved to the
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 256 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.

slow down, or applications suddenly shut down, you should consider the following:
•
Always try to keep at least 100 MB of free internal storage available.
•
Close running applications that you are not using.
•
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.
•
Transfer photos, videos and music from the internal memory to the memory card.
