OT android question

[Derek Trotter]

The tablet is one of those Nextbook things that Walmart was selling last 
year for $70.  I've looked and not found support for it in any of the 
android apps that let you modify partitions.  If I could find something 
that would, I'd use it to expand the partition used for installing 
apps.  Do android devices have four partitions on the internal storage? 
Also are android devices limited to the four partition limit on one 
storage device?
