If that's how the phone came from the box then this is very wrong. I don't care what anyone else says about it.

I suggest you go to SETTINGS>STORAGE to see the breakdown of your space usage. As you can see from mine, the system takes up less than 7gb.

But another thing to note is that 32gb on paper is actually about 28-30gb whether you are talking about a phone, flash drive, hard drive, etc.

Is this your first android?
The internal memory mentioned is total memory of ROM of a mobile. We never get 100% of it because we get OS already installed on it from factory/company(Irrespective of platform Android/iOS/Windows/BlackBerry). The OS installed takes space, on top of it each manufacturer may provide its own custom UI, some pre-installed apps. The general rule is 'More feature rich the phone is, less space will be available of end user'. Because each new feature is managed by a program or peace of code which sits on the hard disk of the equipment itself.

It is not just the case of mobiles, it happens in case of PC's and Laptops as well. The capacity mentioned is Total capacity of Hard Disk in formatted format when nothing is installed on it. The moment you want any Operating system like Windows/Linux etc on it, the space from this Hard Disk is used.

don't try returning the phone with this complain, them no go look your face
Bro Tnx for d enlightenment. Same applies to memory cards.
I was just joking

Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by noobody(m): 6:58am On Mar 27, 2018
The new xiaomi scam,internal memory issa scam.

Whereas other OEM's comes with the exact internal memory abi,even the almighty local champions do come with the exact internal memory,so why buy a xiaomi?

Another reason to stay away from xiaomi,

Lets dos who want value for there money buy,

Doubting thomas stay on ya lane,

As adviced ensure you make your own findings and research befor u buy a xiaomi device,befor dey come and say you wia brainwashed,

Even memory cards dont come wirh the exact memory written on them,its just logical for anyone that understands how memory sizes work and sellers even on there page description about this phones,usually drop caveats warning the phones dont come with the exact memory stated,

So if you skipped all that and went ahead to make a purchae,you still come dey complain,

Wahala dey b dat.

Morning, can you or anyone put me through the dispute opening process?

Under the "reason for dispute" , I'm having logistics problem, custom problem, wrong address..... But I don't like the sub-options under the logistics problem, fear they might want to extend waiting period again and I'm not interested in waiting again.
