Galaxy S4 and storage space, the Korean company meets the ... - Frandroid

A recent controversy about the Samsung Galaxy S4 is its storage space. Indeed, the 16 GB version, only 8.8 to 9.6 GB is available to the user. Samsung has officially respond to this controversy.

controversy was born after that CNET has tested the delivery default factory settings. Indeed, after this “reset” parameter, the user no longer has that 8.49 GB

Samsung just answer:

“For the Galaxy S4 16GB, about 6.85 GB is occupied by the system, which is more than 1 GB on S3, in order to provide a higher resolution screen and functions more efficient for our customers, “

The answer is far from “clear”. Indeed, the screen resolution elements requires better definition, larger images … which of course have an impact on the size of the files needed to run the system. Nevertheless, this does not explain the total weight of the system and pre-loaded applications.

Is it a problem for the user? Not really, about 9 GB of data seem largely sufficient for applications. Other data (photos, music, videos, documents) can be stored on a microSD card (up to 64GB).
