STORAGE – HOW MUCH YOU NEED?

-

As users neglect the regular MP3 players, point-and-shoot cameras and portable video cameras, storage space is quickly becoming an imperative feature. What is more, the price changes significan­tly between different levels of storage. So, how much space do you actually need?

You actually don’t need a lot of it – a minimum of eight gigabytes should be enough. That answer may sound appalling and silly to some users, since a phone constantly has to store informatio­n. However, with the prevalence of cloud storage services such as Google Drive, Microsoft Sky Drive and Dropbox, an average user can live off a meagre eight gigabytes of storage. Buy a phone with expandable storage and use cloud storage services to save space

and money.

Since those services offer a lot of storage for free, you can use them to save your photos and documents and keep phone storage clutter in check.

What phones provide the best storage options? As already mentioned, pricing changes significan­tly between different storage variants of some phones. However, that usually occurs with the devices that do not offer external storage. Therefore, buying a phone with expandable storage is the best choice. Buying additional storage is relatively cheap. Many phones offer 32 GB or more of expandable storage. So, buying a phone with a lot of internal storage is not really a necessity.
