We have hands-on the S24, S24+, and S24 Ultra. Ask us anything. We’ve been invited by Samsung to attend Unpacked in San Jose.

One UI doesn’t use that much more space compared to other skins if you judge by the size of the super partition. Unfortunately, ArsTechnica jumped the gun on the topic without doing proper research.

I’ll edit this comment later with a list of pre-installed apps on the US unlocked model later.

Edit: List of pre-installed apps on the (* denotes it can be uninstalled)

Im still rocking my s8 because I havent seen a reason to upgrade as my phone has been working great so far and that claim didnt help with the decision. If the 24 has any major pros it might be worth it

If you’re still fine using your S8 by all means, no reason to upgrade. The point I was trying to make was that the storage issue was misinformation.

What it boiled down to was two main things: the device showing the advertised storage converted from GB to GiB but displayed as GB, and users not granting the proper permission for the Device Care causing storage taken up by apps to be lumped into the system storage. Samsung later updated devices so users wouldn’t be confused.

Thanks for explaining, I can see how the conversion from GiB to GB would cause confusion.
