What capacity does your cell phone finally have?

Empty device memories have been made by researchers, revealing their true tonnage

Στο μικροσκόπιο έβαλε γνωστά μοντέλα smartphones ο βρετανικός οργανισμός για την προστασία του καταναλωτή Which?, αποκαλύπτοντας την πραγματική τους χωρητικότητα. Σύμφωνα με τους ειδικούς, συσκευές χωρητικότητας 16GB τελικά παραχωρούν σε λειτουργικό, ενσωματωμένες (το λεγόμενο bloatware) και αρχεία συστήματος ως και το 46% της εσωτερικής τους μνήμης.
In the experts' tests, which took place last May, the iPhone 5S and 5C of Apple, Galaxy S4 of Samsung, Nexus 5 of , Sony's Xperia Z1, BlackBerry's Z30, HTC's One Mini and LG's G2.
First in terms of available memory was the Apple iPhone 5C, occupying 21% of its capacity with bloatware and operating system - leaving 12,6GB free. Followed by Google Nexus 5 with available memory of 12,28GB, Apple iPhone 5S with 12,20GB and Sony Xperia Z1 with 11,43GB. Immediately after come the Blackberry Z30 with 11,20GB, HTC One Mini with 10,44GB, LG G2 with 10,37GB, while last was the Samsung Galaxy S4 with 8,56GB.

The graph created by researchers of Which?

Bloatware – material that "inflates" the mobile phone – is about spam και εφαρμογές που βρίσκονται προεγκατεστημένα στα smartphones, στις ταμπλέτες ή σε ηλεκτρονικούς υπολογιστές. Μπορεί ακόμη να χρησιμοποιηθεί ως όρος για την περιγραφή φωτογραφιών ή άλλων προσωπικών αρχείων που καταλαμβάνουν αρκετό χώρο στη συσκευή, με αποτέλεσμα να επιβραδύνουν τη her.

According to the researcher John Barrow που έλαβε μέρος στη μελέτη, δυστυχώς για τους χρήστες, οι περισσότερες από τις «» εφαρμογές και δυνατότητες των κινητών δεν μπορούν να διαγραφούν ώστε να… ελευθερωθεί πολύτιμη μνήμη.
«The reality is that every mobile phone has to sacrifice some of its internal memory for the sake of its operating system - which means that the free memory of the mobile phone does not meet the listed 8, 16, or 32GB"Explains Baroos.

The answer

Samsung, for its part, hastened to explain that "in the case of Galaxy S4 with 16GB memory, 6,85GB is occupied by the operating system in order for the device to have a better screen resolution and offer more powerful capabilities to consumers. For this purpose, the company offers users the ability to extend their device memory via a microSD memory card».
On the other hand, Barourou pointed out that despite the fact that the iPhone 5C and 5S as well as the Nexus 5 were at the top of their available internal memory, these devices do not offer the possibility of expansion by adding an external memory card.
