● After editing a photo or trimming a video, the original file is kept. You can delete original files or
move them to online storage or to your computer.
● If you are only sending videos through MMS, use a lower resolution. High-resolution video takes
up more space.
● RAW image files take up a lot of storage space. It's recommended to use an SD card as the
default storage for photos and videos. If your SD card is running low on space, consider moving
RAW image files to your computer.

Battery Optimization for Apps
When you have connections such as Wi-Fi on while the phone is in sleep mode, some apps may still
continue to use the battery. Starting from Android 6.0, battery optimization is enabled for all apps by
default which helps prolong battery standby time when you're not using the phone.
The phone needs to be sitting idle for an extended period of time before battery optimization takes effect.
Turn Battery Optimization Off in Apps
If there are apps that you don't want battery optimization enabled, you can turn the feature off in those
apps.
