23 GB free enough for a phone like the Samsung Galaxy S6 of 32 GB?

We have spent weeks talking about installation of Android the new S6 Galaxy, as if it was going to be lighter than if would not add with the Touchwiz layer too ‘bloatware’, etc., but when they started to appear the first units of the model of 32 gigabytes, has been uncovered that there is too much free space once we started it for the first time.

A little more than 23 GB free In any case, as it shows us Androidcentral, Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge 32 GB model consumes about 9 gigabytes to store the operating system and other applications that come inside the terminal, as well as some special content, so we are left with more than 23 gigabytes on first boot we do, as we get it from the box.

Is it much or little? Because it depends on the use that go you to, but gives us the feeling of that is very short. Keep in mind that it is a mobile phone capable of recording videos with 4 K resolution, which means that the size that we need is multiplied by four with respect to the same parts in FullHD. But although this may already be a small problem, there is another much larger that has to do with a strategic decision of the Koreans.

Without microSD card

Samsung took an important decision to carry out these new S6 Galaxy design is that they are the first top of the company (saving the legendary Galaxy Nexus) that they will not have expansion slot to put him more gigabytes via microSD card. This obliges us to two things: on the one hand to be very careful with the management of the space in the terminal to not collapse the smartphone and its performance and, secondly, to consider us very much if it is not best that we decantemos by model 64 GB as a minimum, it will have about 55 gigabytes free.

Anyway, although the figure of 23GB may seem scarce, this amount is usually in the middle of what is usual among devices of this category, as already the case, for example, with the own HTC One M9. Moreover, you understand now by that removed from the catalogue of the S6 n Samsung 16 GB models? It was surely more intelligent as the Koreans could choose not angry users.

And you, what do think of 23GB free and without microSD card? Tell us.
