what has windows got to do with phone storage? android runs on linux kernel.
>>
>>55010845
The OS takes up some of the existing storage space.

Then they shouldn't be allowed to advertise 32 GB of storage. It's misleading to the average consumer.
>>
>>55011096
It's not inaccurate. The phone DOES have 32 GB of storage. It's like when you buy a computer with a 500GB hard drive, some of that space is occupied with the pre-installed operating system.

Feels good. That's more than I'll ever need.

So did you goys buy Office or did you pirate it?
And what do use it for anyway? Do you study some meme degree where you have to write tons of essays?

>>55011549
>pirating software

I'm not a edgy insurgent teenager anymore.
>>
>>55011549
I got 5 free licenses from my company.
I use it to create and open existing word/excel files. You know, adults who live on their own needs to pay taxes and create some documents.
>>
>>55010845
I think its got to do with because everything in a computer is bits 1s and 0s but in 8s so 8 bits in a byte but the first one can't be 1 because that means negative so you only really get to use 7 bits ~25gb from 32gb or something like that
>>
>>55011926
Incorrect. By your logic you would lose 1/8th of the memory, so it should be 28GB instead of 32.
The binary system does have something to do with it (1024MB being 1GB and not 1000MB) but even that doesn't make much of a difference.
It's really just that the operating system and bloatware (Google maps, Google Drive, Google this Google that blah blah blah) use up a lot of space.

It's "caret", not "carat".

Data storage companies make more money by deceiving people by using GB instead of GiB
>>
>>55012342
ISP's do this too.
25Mbps sounds a lot when high quality video steams at around 3 megabytes per second. But that's just about enough.
>>
>>55011055
That's got to be extremely unstable at the atomic level

>12 GB free storage space

Also an option.
>>
Well if it's an android phone, you can root it and put whatever you want on it.
So it's 32GB if you don't use the standard software installed on it
