Last week we reported that the new Samsung Galaxy S4 (16GB model) only has 8.82GB of usable space. In fact, it is the most popular post on our site.
Samsung defended the phone this week. "For the Galaxy S4 16GB model, approximately 6.85GB occupies [the] system part of internal memory, which is 1GB bigger than that of the Galaxy S3, in order to provide [a] high resolution display and more powerful features to our consumers." The company then added, "to offer the ultimate mobile experience to our users, Samsung provides [a] microSD slot on Galaxy S4 for extension of memory."
This may be true, however, Samsung only allows you to place content on the SD card, not all applications.
Microsoft caused a stir earlier this year when it was revealed that their 64GB Surface tablet had only 29GB of usable space. The 8GB Nintendo Wii U is even worse,leaving just 3.3GB available.
