Here’s how much storage you’ll actually get on the Galaxy S5

[Wireless News]

Even though Samsung has significantly cut down on new bloatware for its Galaxy S5 smartphone, the company did not reveal how much storage space is available to the user on the phone. Independent reports from GottaBeMobile and Android Central have confirmed that the Galaxy S5 ROM takes up even more space than the Galaxy S4’s ROM, however. Out of 16GB on the base Galaxy S5 model, over 8GB is occupied by the Galaxy S5’s software, with the rest available to the user. GottaBeMobile discovered that only 8.65GB is available to the user on the handset, while Android Central’s model had less than 7.86GB of storage available. Comparatively, the Galaxy S4 offered about 9GB of storage for apps and other files.
