    storage fluctuations on galaxy a13 running android 12

    storage fluctuations on galaxy a13 running android 12

    it fluctuates by varying amounts, 500gb was the largest jump I've noted, and the capacity is noted in the first sentence.. 32gb. I shopped around on amazon and literally could not get anything but 32gb on this model(the 5g version -which DOES come in 64gb and is like twice the price-only has a...
