Frequently Asked Questions
How many MB in 16 GB?
16 GB = 16,384 MB.
How many photos or songs fit in a few hundred MB?
Sizes vary, but a typical smartphone photo is about 3 to 5 MB and a streamed-quality song is roughly 4 to 8 MB. That means 500 MB holds around 100 photos or about 80 songs, while a full gigabyte (1,024 MB) roughly doubles those figures. Video uses far more space, so a few minutes of HD recording can eat hundreds of MB on its own.
How much data is a GB when streaming or browsing?
One gigabyte (1,024 MB) covers roughly an hour of standard-definition video streaming, several hours of music, or a lot of regular web browsing and email. HD and 4K video consume much more, sometimes 3 GB or more per hour. Checking these figures in MB helps when you're trying to stay under a mobile data cap.
