Choose storage capacity
Tablets from Samsung, Apple, and Lenovo all have different types of storage capacity. We'll help you choose which storage space is suitable for you in this article. First, think of what you want to use the tablet for:
- Studies, business, and design: 256GB or more
- Movies, series, or gaming: from 64GB
- Basic use and family: 32 to 128GB
Always choose more storage
When choosing a certain amount of storage, keep in mind that the operating system of your tablet takes up storage space as well. That means you should always add extra storage to the amount you think you'll need. You can expand the storage of Android tablets with an external SD card. A tablet with a larger internal storage works faster and more smoothly than an Android tablet with a low internal memory and an SD card. The storage of an Apple iPad can't be expanded.
Studies, business, and design: 256GB or more
With a storage space of 256 or 512GB or even 1TB, you have enough space for all your files of the coming years. This way, you don't have to clean up your storage all the time. You'll also have enough with 128GB storage, but you do have to clean this up. You can store many files and use demanding apps and programs like Adobe. That's useful if you use the tablet for work, studies, or photo and video editing.
Movies, series, and gaming: from 64GB
On a tablet of 64GB and up, you'll have enough storage capacity for a large number of apps and files. After about a year, you have to clean up the storage. This storage is suitable if you watch many movies and series or if you play many games. From 128GB onwards, you have enough space to download movies, so you can also watch them on the go and offline. Do you use your tablet to edit photos and videos? Choose a tablet of at least 256GB.
Basic use and family: 32 to 128GB
Most tablet start at a storage capacity of 32GB. A capacity of 32 to 128GB is enough for basic use or for the family. You can browse the internet or play light games. The tablet does fill up quickly, so you have to clean it often. You can store a limited number of apps, photos, and videos on 32 or 64GB. Do you want to store more photos and apps on your tablet?
