My actual data on my device doesn't even come close to 1Gb but just see the insane amount of space required for systems! Please note this is apart from all installed applications and their data!

Same is the case for running services or used RAM,
Most of it would be just used by Samsung services! I rarely see ram utilization going below 50% even with no applications running. I guess that's why they had to add RAM plus to all their devices.😅

Hoping for better optimization now, atleast in the flagships!

See, my storage is 90% full almost, and in system there's around 34gb
It was 40gb+ earlier see pic 2.
What i did was
> Deleted . Dot files (like .thumbnail and other,
> Disabled apps that i wasn't using
> Deleted Download videos on Youtube, which I've already watched.
> wipe cache or say cleared cache.
> deleted some Recycle bin files.1680320550455.jpgScreenshot_20230322_104941_My Files.jpg

Did everything and that's why I was surprised how come this much space is being used for systems, otherwise it would be fine. This was the least to which I could bring. Even cleared the data for Samsung keyboard and some other such apps as they had considerable amount of data. The only next thing that can be tried is factory reset!😅

Then this could be the least amount that could be used by system :)

Check this. I guess they just match the space on the phone. I've disabled apps I don't use. I've Uninstalled bloatware. Screenshot_20230401_094647_My Files.jpg

Exactly!
Diabled most of unnecessary services and set them back to factory version but still this is the case. Some useless ones can't even be disabled 😅

That system memory includes the "Operating system" that is about 15-18Gb and there is a fact that out of that 128Gb module the effective memory is about 119.2Gb and this 9Gb is counted in as system memory.
Plus the uncompressed resources after an update will also be stored under system memory SmartSelect_20230401_130356_Chrome_1000019670_1680334436.jpg

This means that Samsung customizations over android is somewhat close to the size of the os itself? 🙄
Does this include the usage pattern recognition data for ai as well which keeps growing with time or is that separate under apps data?

Out of 128Gb
1. 9Gb is dead space and the logic is mentioned in the photo my post has
2. 15-18 is the OS
3. 2-4 Gb are the pre-installed apps
So adding those vavlues (9+16+3) is 28 Gb so the storage available to you is 100Gb
Out of that 100Gb all the some pf the data about 3-5Gb or more will be taken up by the new apps, app data, account details, etc.
