How much internal storage space is available on a 256 GB device?

The device we tested came with an impressive 8GB RAM and a spacious 256GB flash storage capacity. The allocated space for the operating system files is a grand total of 27.4GB. Once you take into account the space already in use, you will have a remarkable 229.7GB of storage at your disposal.


What about gaming?

T13 features an Arm Mali-G610 GPU graphics chip Released on May 25th, 2021, exclusively designed for mid-range smartphones. This GPU has 6 cores operating at a max clock frequency of 950MHz.

GPU performance is significantly higher than that of the widely used Qualcomm Adreno 650 which operates at 600MHz. Adding either 8GB or 12GB of RAM provides ample memory and storage for users, allowing them to easily play demanding games without any problems.
