Extending memory into storage is real, useful and misrepresented. What it does for app retention, what it cannot do for speed, and what it costs the drive.

Method
Every figure in a data sheet is printed from the manufacturer document we hold for that model. Where we have no source for a field, the field stays empty rather than being guessed.
All 25 sheets use the same groups in the same order — launch, body, display, platform, memory, cameras, battery — so two models can be read side by side.
Spotted a figure that does not match the official sheet? Tell us and we will check it against the source and correct the page.
