This isn’t the first time that Samsung has had some issues with their devices being a bit of a hog on the memory side of things when it comes to system files. Way back when the Samsung Galaxy S4 was presented last year, it was noted that almost half of the available storage on 16 GB version of the device was taken up by system files. Samsung did end up fixing this problem down the line, but it was still a shock to get a brand new phone only to find out you only have about 8 gigabytes of available storage. Well, expect nothing different from the Galaxy S5 as it seems it will have the same problem when the device launches. One of the saving graces is that both the Galaxy S4 and S5 have the ability to expand storage via way of microSD, which are getting cheaper and cheaper as the days go by. Nevertheless, when 50 percent of available hard wired storage is taken up before you even turn on the device, it shows a little bit of lack of foresight on Samsung’s part, especially the second time around.  Whether Samsung will go the same route that they did with the Galaxy S4 and release an update that helps lighten the load on the Galaxy S5, it is too early to tell. As well, we could be seeing the remnants of a pre-production model that will be stripped down before the device is actually launched to the public. Right now, all we know is that you’re getting about 8 GBs of storage when you buy a 16 GB model. AndroidPIT
