No Space? No Problem!

If you’re on the fence about storage options on a new Galaxy device, don’t stress – there are easy solutions that won’t break the bank

I took the brave leap last week, pre-ordering the ZF7256GB model instead of my usual512GB config - so let me tell you why it may not matter🔎


🔌 The Adapter Arsenal

Pop in adapters and - boom! External storage returns for quick backups, photo dumps, or relocating that mysterious folder titled “H0m3w0rk_oNLy.”

Unfortunately misplaced the actual MicroSD – enjoy the adapter cameo + bitty shipwreck for moral support

OTG wizardry – USB-A thumb drives back in the game (USB-C ones for direct plug and play!)

M.2 NVMe on a phone – peak techie degeneracy unlocked


🛒 Best part?

These adapters are cheap as chips! (figuratively – almost had to AfterPay my Red Rock Deli the other day)


🚰 So… what have you inserted into your USB port?



🎁 Extras

Went down a storage rabbit hole after Samsung x Mwave LevelUp, where the Bitty Pop + 64GB Stick + Tote Bag joined my hoard: https://www.mwave.com.au/catalog/levelup-samsung

Here's some snaps from the event last month;

Profressional tier Samsung SSDs (not pictured) clocked up near ~15,000MB/s! My brain lagged trying to comprehend

image
My mate blitzed the sim racing challenge and scored a Samsung gaming monitor. Totally not jealous. At all. Nope.

This 3D monitor blew away my last 3 brain cells – words, pictures, even videos can’t do it enough justice!

Great post! 👏
Don't forget there's also cloud storage options 😊
But yes after promo time it goes into subscription mode, so external is probably the cheaper option 😅 until you misplace it 👀1752618522755.jpg

I took up the Cloud Offer as well and in 6 months will make a call if I continue or drop back down a tear level.

Have used almost 256GB so will need to see how much more backs up to Google come December this year than make a call and drop to a plan closest to my usage
