Here’s how to add extra memory with simple drives and accessories.
And check out our guide to deleting useless files and freeing up wasted storage space on the S6
Add a microSD memory card using the Incipio offGRID case
Incipio’s clever little offGRID battery case for the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge doesn’t just add extra juice to your Galaxy smartphone. A flick of a switch also gives you microSD support, so all you need to do is slot your memory card into the case and you can copy files back and forth from your mobile. The case supports cards of up to 128GB in size.
Alternatively, add a microSD memory card using an OTG/SD card reader
You can also buy memory card readers that slot into your phone’s micro USB slot, adapting them into a microSD card slot. One such example is the iKross Multi-Function Micro-USB to OTG/SD Memory Card Reader Adapter, which can be snagged on Amazon for just £8. Again, just add a microSD memory card and you’re good to go. It’s a bit bulkier and more cumbersome than the Incipio case, but it does the job.

Wirelessly transmit your media with Samsung’s Wireless Mobile Media Streaming Device
If you’ve got a ton of HD movies that you want to take away on holiday, a better solution will be a hard disk that offers wireless streaming to your mobile device. Samsung offers its own in the form of the Wireless Mobile Media Streaming Device, which can be bought for £130 from Amazon.
Galaxy S6 Expansion Slot Case
It’s a 1.5TB drive, which gives you enough space for roughly five hundred Blu-ray movies, and it supports up to five mobile devices at once so the whole family can stream what they want to their phones or tablets. There’s even a USB charging port to power up your Galaxy S6 if it’s running low.

Two things users bemoan about the Samsung Galaxy S6: Its lack of a microSD card slot for storage expansion, and its sealed, non-replaceable battery.
Samsung traded the two features in for a thinner and lighter design made from glass and aluminum — which, in our opinion, was worth it. But if you're still stingy about losing the features (and have no interest in picking up the equally impressive LG G4), this case from Incipio may interest you.

Called the offGRID, the case comes with a 3,700 milliamp-hour (mAh) battery that can recharge a Galaxy S6 100% and then some. (A Galaxy S6 has a 2,550 mAh battery). That solves the non-removable battery complaint.
The case also has a microSD card slot that works with cards up to 128GB in capacity, which solves the storage expansion issue.
Sure, you're adding a little more bulk to your skinny Galaxy S6. But what you gain is a ton more versatility (and protection for your phone).
Galaxy S6 Edge
The case is available for a steep $89.99. There's also a model for the Galaxy S6 Edge.
Another way to add more battery life and 128GB of storage to your Galaxy S6 is with an external battery bank and storage solution, such as Mophie's Spacestation. Those come with way bigger (6,000 mAh) batteries, but they start at $150 for a 32GB, $200 for a 64GB and $300 for a 128GB.
