From InfoWorld: A dearth of storage available in smartphones will soon be an issue of the past.
Smartphone makers boasted about higher capacity storage on new handsets announced at Mobile World Congress this week. The increased storage comes from SD card slots on the devices.
HP announced storage capacity eventually going up to 2TB via an SD card slot in its upcoming Elite X3, while Samsung said its Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge will support a storage capacity of up to 200GB. Samsung's previous Galaxy S6 handset didn't have an SD card slot, and capacity was limited to 128GB of internal flash storage.
Samsung is offering only 32GB of primary internal storage in the S7 smartphones. Users will have to buy SD cards if they want more storage.
The highest capacity SDXC card available today is 512GB, but that could quickly go up to 1TB, in as little as one year, said Brian Kumagai, president of SD Association, a standards organization behind the development of SD cards.
