A reliable smartphone should come with enough built-in storage. Smartphones with sixteen gigabytes of storage are likely to fill up quickly because up to ten gigabytes will often be used for storing text messages. However, the storage capacity depends on your needs and how you use the smartphone. Someone who likes loading photo collections and music will obviously need a device with more space. Android smartphones are great here, since they often have a microSD card slot, which gives users the ability to expand their phone's storage.

Unfortunately, iPhones do not have this card slot, making them less ideal for users who want to store many images, videos, and music. However, these phones do come in varying sizes, including 64, 128, and 256 gigabytes. Other smartphones without a microSD card slot often come with these larger storage capacities. If you are set on one of these smartphones without expandable storage, it is important to evaluate how much storage you need. This is because there is no way to expand later! Picking the right amount of storage depends on the content you will be storing in your smartphone. Check which of your documents, videos, music, and photos can be transferred to the cloud to maximize your device storage. Sometimes you will have to clean up your smartphone and delete unnecessary files. If this starts to happen often, though, it is time to look for a new smartphone with more storage.
