I have recently bought Samsung Galaxy E7,such a great a phone.
It has 16gb internal memory.it has two slot,one is normal sim slot and another is sim as well as microsim (means we can only use any one of them at a time)
I need both slot for my two sim card.
but I want to know Should I even use the internal memory for my Personal datas like videos, movies ,music,etc?
what problems will occur if i use internal memory.
In Desktop computer it is recommmended to make two partition of hdd, one is for OS (C:)
and another is for our data like installed games, softwares and pics,music,etc.
does it also applis to smartphones too?
