    Android Central Question
    I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 which supposedly has 32gb of storage but I actually only have just under 16gb of storage that I can use according to the storage app in settings. This is a real pain as I'm travelling at the moment and won't be able to get a new phone for a few months and also am taking a lot of photos. I was wondering if there was any way that I could fix this or if it's normal, I know that the operating system takes up some storage but I thought it was only about 5/6gb.

    That's weird. My S7 Edge has 24GB free out of box. Maybe there are other stuff in there.

    Photos can be backed up in Google Photos, then Removed From Device. They remain accessible in Cloud storage, given a data connection.
