Usage space on new phone has limitations

Asked By Orville C Ellis 40 points N/A Posted on - 01/23/2015

I just bought a new htc m8. It is said on the packaging that the internal memory is 32gigs. When checking the storage settings, I found that only 24 gigs where usable immediately. It is a new phone with no major apps on it. Can anyone explain to me this discrepancy? Is the software on-board that big?

Usage space on new phone has limitations

Hi Orville,

 

Although it says 32 GB, the available storage is less due to the phone software. Approximately 25.3 GB of storage is available for user’s content [depends from phone to phone]. Availability storage is subjected to changes based on the phones Operating system and the apps usage. Hence you find that you have 24 GB of space available for you to utilize which is fine.
