Where to buy
Prices are re-checked every week. A date more than a month old means the store could not be re-read, so the price may have moved.
Where this came from
inferred Read from brand or store pages, but at least one value rests on a search result, a figure worked out from the source's own numbers, or a product with no part number to pin it to. Last verified 2026-10-29. What the labels mean.
Plugs into the phone's USB-C port. The page's FAQ says 64 GB; its spec table says 32 GB (used).
