Any and every Android device with a removable SD card offers significant expansion options in terms of storage. However, most of the time devices like a new Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 are not going to ship with a microSD card. Because of this you may find that your files end up filling up the system memory. When this happens, you will need to purchase a microSD card and move data from your Galaxy Tab S2 to your microSD card.

In order to move apps to your microSD card from your system memory, you will need to have an SD card in your Samsung Galaxy Tab2. Should you require assistance in inserting an SD card, please reference our tutorial on how to do this.
