Gear Neo internal storage

[jewelcop405]

I just connected my neo to my win7 laptop for the first time and its showing that there is 2.58 GB available of a total of 2.81 GB. I thought that the internal storage was supposed to be 4GB. Anyone have any idea what going on here?

The OS needs some room don't you think.

I do, but its showing the total internal as 2.81 GB. You think the space used by the OS is hidden or not shown?

Android uses partitions for it system files so yes the space for the system is not being included with that total.

Yes, well Tizen must do the same then I assume.

Tizen and Android are both Linux-based operating systems. Linux uses partitions like the way Windows uses folders. Making all Linux-based OS handle space similar.
