The "system" partition now accurately shows the space it uses, while the conversion loss now sits in "Other files."
Earlier this year, when the Samsung Galaxy S23 series had just launched, there was some confusion around how Samsung showcased the available storage on the phones. It was wrongly presumed that One UI took up ~60GB of internal storage, which would leave base 128GB storage variants with just about half the internal storage. However, this presumption was debunked as a conversion loss error.
Samsung is now changing how storage is shown on One UI 6 based on Android 14, with the system partitions now accurately reporting how much storage they take up.

As you can see, One UI 5.1 shows the “System” partition on our phone as a whopping 39.4GB, while the same is more accurately represented in One UI 6 as a more believable 16.5GB. In return, the conversion error that was the cause of confusion earlier this year has been shifted to “Other files,” which we can see as a rather tiny 81.75MB on One UI 5.1 and a whopping 11.34GB on One UI 6.
