Using an SD card on the moto x4
Your phone supports an optional microSD card up to 2 TB (when available).
A Class 2, 4, or 6 card is sufficient.
Your phone uses the card as portable storage for media files: photos, videos, and music. Because it's portable, you can easily swap the card and its content between devices. After you insert the card, be sure to update settings within media apps (like camera, music, and podcast apps), so they use the card to store content you create or download.
To insert the microSD card:
- Insert the tool that comes with your phone into the small hole on the card tray and pop out the tray.
- Insert or remove the cards as needed.
Or, to use two SIM cards (dual-SIM models only):
- Carefully insert the tray back in the phone and make sure it closes securely.
