I don't know if this is just me. Hi. I have a 4G LTE Samsung Galaxy A12. Released 2020. I don't know if you guys know anything about this but it makes me straight up mad. And with inflation these days I can't afford a micro-sd card for just even 16gb. I only have:

  • 32gb of storage?
  • 3GB OF MEMORY??
It's surprising honestly. Help??

Not much can be done without extra store for photos etc to get memory less filled

It's just confusing why they would put 3gb on a modern phone? They had 3gb RAM phones on the Note 3 in 2013

I get what you're saying and I agree some a series phones are less than they should be ram or memory wise alerts best to check the specs first

My mom passed her old phone down to me so I didn't have a chance to check specs

Because some users can't afford a $2k phone. They just want email, text, and the ability to take good photos that they will store elsewhere for under $300.

Because 3gb of RAM is usually sufficient for most users, and all one gets with low end phones.

๐Ÿ˜ฎ Google is always telling me to buy extra storage....and then threaten me that I won't be able to send or receive emails and that all my pictures/videos will not be available to me. ARE U Kidding MS....this is my property, what gives them the right to threaten to take away my property? I bought Office 365 and I have not been able to use or download any of the apps which supposedly, I should have access to. How 'Bout giving me a refund????? Good luck, my friend. I haven't had any ๐Ÿ˜ž

Confusing, really? I think I their anger they jumped from issues with Google to issues with Microsoft, which are seperate companies, of course.

I have Office 365 with 1TB of cloud storage and never had an issue, but I have an S series phone, which has more RAM, so that may be the issue with running Word and Excel; however, I don't think that there would be an issue linking with OneDrive to upload photos.
