Any android phone consists of two memory location area- interior and external storage. Among this, the availability of internal memory storage is important because when it is full it slows down your device. So it is of the essence that you free up or increase your device’s internal memory as it is not possible to buy it like that of external one. As the Android phone comes with very low internal storage i.e. 200 to 400 MB, so the occupancy of the spare place of your android is more obvious after downloading few applications itself. So if you want to increase the internal storage of your Android you can root your Android or you can even use SD card’s storage as the internal memory to a certain extent. By increasing internal storage, you can access your phone with outstanding velocity and even install large apps.
