Galaxy S23’s system does not actually consume 60GB storage
A few days ago, the reports of the Galaxy S23 series devices’ system taking up too much space (reportedly 60GB) came to the fore, which we also covered in our previous article. Since this news joined the internet and spread drastically, users started voicing their fury. But with some recent reports, the 60GB used storage seems to be a false narration only, and the actual bother something else. So, let’s find out the real issue.
Samsung could update their smartphones to display the right amount of space consumed
As per some recent reports, the system isn’t occupying all the space that is shown in the used storage details. Rather, the used storage actually found out to be only 22GB and, in some cases, 38GB maximum (for the Galaxy S23 Ultra). The good part is the company- Samsung itself came up front to clarify things Which created resentment among users. To help you, we have explained the things in simpler words below.
Informatively, the true system internal storage for the Galaxy S23 devices is 20GB to 25GB, which too varies by region, model category, or carrier type. It also includes the space taken up by One UI and even stores the place for upcoming OS updates as well. Besides, the used storage information, which is shown in the ‘My Files’ is in binary GiB units (Gibibyte) and not in the GB form (Gigabytes), which created the main confusion.
Let us explain in easy words if we talk about the 512GB storage variant of the Galaxy S23 Ultra, which is in Gigabytes form; we only get 476.837 gibibytes of storage free to use. Because the shown Gibibyt unit is different from the usual Gigabytes, users misperceive it as the widely-used Gigabytes. Consequently, Samsung is now planning ‘My Files’ to update so it can use Gigabyte units to show accurate storage uses.
Samsung has kept the same battery capacity for the flagship devices while also sticking to the same fast charging speed. If we look at the Galaxy S Ultra devices from the Galaxy S22 Ultra, the company has stuck with 45 W charging and the same 5000 mAh battery. According to the latest report, the Galaxy S25 Ultra may also use the same battery and specifications.
Previous, it was rumored that the Galaxy S24 Ultra could be equipped with stacked battery technology, which could lead to maximizing the component cost, but now, according to an X user named Sawyer Galox, it is reported that the Korean giant will skip this hardware change on the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra to save on component cost.
Along with this, the tipster also expressed his disappointment with Samsung’s take on the unchained hardware. He adds that users who want to buy the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra should keep their expectations low with the battery performance, as Samsung will keep the specs the same with the 500mAh battery and the 45W.
However, the company will also introduce its latest device with new chipsets that may provide improved optimization, which may provide some long-lasting battery life, but it will not provide any improvement in charging.
Samsung is preparing to introduce its next-generation foldable device, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6. However, given that the new smartphones in the Z lineup typically launch between July and August, some rumors suggest that the company might host the next Galaxy Unpacked event on July 10, 2024. Despite the date being more than three months away, numerous details have surfaced online.
According to recent reports, Samsung plans to implement its dual chipset strategy for the foldable, mirroring the Galaxy S series lineup, where some models of the Galaxy S base and Galaxy S+ devices feature Snapdragon, while in other markets, they feature Exynos.
The next foldable lineup rumoured to come with multiple chipsets; for example, the Galaxy Z Flip 6’s last Geekbench listing showed that it has the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip. However, this processor is already one year old, so there are fewer expectations that it could be available in the main models. However, if a rumor proves to be accurate, it could potentially be available for the FE variant of the devices.
For your information, the rumors have revealed that Samsung could introduce two new versions of the foldable devices with the brand names ‘FE’ and ‘Ultra‘, so to make the difference, it may introduce them in separate chipsets. If it provides the older chipset for the FE version, then it will be successful in cost-cutting and releasing the device at a low cost.
Following the successful launch of the Galaxy S24 flagship device, several rumors have started circulating on the internet. Now, according to the latest development, there is a new listing coming in the highlight, which means the phone is under development and will be available on the market soon.
Some reports suggest that the Galaxy S24 FE, currently under development under the code name R12, could make its market debut in late 2024. Rumors suggest that the Galaxy S24 FE will initially be available in limited markets before potentially launching globally in 2024.
The Internet has also surfaced some rumored specs of the S24 FE, revealing several details about the device, including a 6.1-inch AMOLED display, 128 GB and 256 GB of RAM, and 12 GB of LPDDR5X RAM. It might have a 4500 mAh battery for power backup.
Samsung hasn’t officially revealed anything about the Galaxy S24 FE’s features or release date yet. However, a listing in a UK carrier database suggests this phone – known for offering flagship specs at a lower price – is coming soon.
