6GB Used Right out of the Box

Before I got everything setup and looked at how much space was used up out of the 32GB. Right out of the box it said that 6GB + was taken up by "Other". Anybody else have this issue? It's a T-Mobile One if that helps.

The OS, Sesnse, system apps, and carrier bloat have to live somewhere.

Yep, any device will have several gigs taken up already. I think 4-8 GB is pretty common depending on the OS, UI, and bloat.

This.

It's not an issue. The more feature-rich these UIs become along with preinstalled apps we'll continue to see space like that taken up out of the box. Reading the AC review of the S4, I was surprised that out og 16GB, a little over 9GB was available. Nearly 7GB taken up out of the box.

How much space would the OS take up if you rooted the phone and installed a clean copy?
