This is an estimate. Actual file sizes vary with camera settings, video resolution, app downloads, system updates, and how your phone calculates storage.
How to Calculate Phone Storage
Your phone’s storage is shared by photos, videos, apps, games, downloads, and the operating system. The space used by each category depends on file size, camera quality, app requirements, and how much data you keep on your device.
Use this Phone Storage Calculator to estimate your total storage usage and the space left on your phone. Enter the number of photos, total video length, average file sizes, and storage used by apps and games. The result updates automatically.
Example
Suppose you have a 128 GB phone with 2,000 photos averaging 3 MB each and 60 minutes of video averaging 100 MB per minute. You also use 8 GB for apps, 20 GB for games, 10 GB for other files, and an estimated 12 GB for system storage.
In this example, your files and system use approximately 61.72 GB, leaving around 66.28 GB of estimated free storage.
Actual storage may differ because phone manufacturers reserve some space for the operating system, and file sizes vary with camera settings and app usage.
