It's not fraudulent; your expectations are out of line. If you flash some other OS onto your device, you'll have (32gb - whatever the size of your OS is). So to market the device as having 32gb, then having the OS take up some space, is completely accurate. The _specs_ do not indicate how much actual free space you have. This is the nature of electronic devices that have memory but require software to work.
- StudentStuff 8y agoFlashing a different OS onto most Android devices isn't possible, especially if its not a newer flagship phone. There is no foreseeable way to recover even part of this space on most Androids, which is especially troublesome considering they ship with under 32GB of storage usually.
- kajecounterhack 8y agoRegardless the point was that the spec is factually correct so there's no bait and switch here. If you're lamenting the need to understand that OS'es take up space on the phone you purchased, I don't know what to tell you. Nobody gives the "with OS" memory figure.
