Most modern Samsung Galaxy phones thankfully come with at least 64GB of storage, but sometimes even that's not enough for all of the photos, videos, music, and other files that you want to carry around. When you hit the limits of your device's storage capacity, you sometimes have to make some tough choices about what to keep and what to cut. We'll show you where to go in the system settings to free up space on your Samsung Galaxy phone, whether you opt for the surgical or the catastrophic approach.

If you find yourself coming up against your storage limit again and again, you may want to consider offloading some or all of your media content to the cloud. Have a service like Google Photos backup and sync your pictures so that you don't need to store them on your device. Try to stream your Spotify or YouTube Music playlists over Wi-Fi or if you have an unlimited data plan rather than downloading them to your phone.
Alternatively, if your phone has space for a removable microSD card, it might be worth investing in that for additional on-device backup.
The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE is one of the best Android phones, and a great affordable flagship for those looking for a premium daily driver.
Storage for days
The S20 comes with either 128GB or 256 storage built-in, so you shouldn't have much problem fitting most of your content on your smartphone. If you do need additional space, it comes with a microSD slot and is expandable up to 1TB.
Using cloud-based media apps or picking up an external microSD card can help you extend your phone's storage capacity.
