How much storage do I need for a tablet?
Planning to get a new tablet or rugged tablet but not sure which storage is right for you? Well, you are in the right place. Here is the guide to show you what can different storage do. The amount of storage you need for a tablet depends on how you plan to use it. Here's the breakdown:
Basic Use (32GB - 64GB):
- Browsing the internet
- Light gaming
- Using basic apps (social media, email)
- Storing a moderate amount of photos and videos
Note: With 32GB, storage fills up quickly, so frequent management might be needed. 64GB offers more breathing room.
Moderate Use (128GB):
- All the above in "Basic Use"
- Downloading more apps and games
- Storing a good amount of photos and videos
- Occasional offline content (movies, music)
Note: 128GB is a good mid-range option for most users.
Heavy Use (256GB+):
- Extensive gaming with large files
- Storing a vast collection of photos and videos
- Downloading a lot of offline content (movies, music)
- Working with large files (documents, design projects)
Note: If you plan on storing a lot of data, especially offline content, 256GB or higher storage is ideal.
