Android miscalculates the storage space taken up by system components, leading to inflated system storage utilization and potentially misleading users.
Other Android skins could also use the same flawed calculation method, except Samsung's One UI 6, which correctly categorizes user-generated files in the storage breakdown.
Android measures storage in gibibytes, while smartphone manufacturers advertise storage capacities in gigabytes, leading to confusion and potentially overestimating the space occupied by the Android OS and other files. Google should update the calculation logic and use gigabytes as a standard unit.
