Some multimedia (audio/video) files contain Digital Rights Management (DRM) technology to verify you have the right to use the files. Preloaded apps on your device may not be compatible with DRM-protected files. Screen images are simulated. Appearance of device may vary. The actual available capacity of the internal memory is less than the specified capacity because the operating system and default applications occupy part of the memory. The available capacity may change when you upgrade the device.
