💾 Expandable storage – Yes, it still exists!

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

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!

You could fit almost the entire USA metre by metre in photos on your phone if that was real!

OTG is an option, but dont forget Samsung also offers a USB-C thumb drive.
These are very nice and come in 4 sizes.

true - I'll edit that into post shortly 👌

that one looks quite nice too, kinda matches F7's blue shadow colourway

Great post there! So true! Although I do miss the times we were able to insert an microsd card, I now enjoy using Samsung portable SSD. They work wonders for your phone with its own app for the phone but also, can plug it in straight to your computer 😊😊 and transfer speed is very fast while the device is small, compact and simple 😊😊🔥

[alejcho]

which ssd model you use? I'm looking to get one for holiday travel photos

[BAAMM]

I have a few 😂😂 they are all portable samsung SSD and they are: T7 shield, T7 touch, T5, and T7 😂😂😂 I do have..a...few... 😂😂😂 love them all. Speed is suppose to be diff but not too noticeable. Perfect for travel and anything I say. I moved on from Samsung USBs to this 😂😂

[alejcho]

T for... T-oo much 😂 Jokes lOL, it's actually really good to have spares - a duplicate of a copy is an IT industry way of backing up 😋

Cheers - I'll have a shop now on the different flavours >1TB

[BAAMM]

Hahaha T for Too much 😂 😂 😂 so true! Shows how good they are 😜 😜 mmm...some are duplicates....but maybe more reasons to buy more.. jokes. 6 is enough for now..... 😂 😂 😂. There are some good deals around. T7 has a good deal on Samsung (if you need a big one and if it is still on sale, just bought my 6th 😂)
