The amount of available memory in Samsung TVs depends on the model and year of manufacture. As a rule, modern Samsung Smart TVs have from 4 to 32 GB of internal memory, part of which is used by the operating system and pre-installed applications. The remaining space is available for downloading additional applications, saving settings and cached data. The higher the grade of the TV, the more space the OS occupies. The amount of available memory on your TV typically ranges from 1 GB on budget TVs to 10 GB on premium TVs. The most memory is taken up by the browser cache, if you use it. The common belief that apps take up a lot of memory is wrong: an app usually takes up 10-30MB of memory, so even on a budget TV you need to install about 50 apps before you run out of memory.
