Ordered a S21U 256 GB. A few questions...

[LilSweetLin]

I purchased the 256 GB S21Ultra in Phantom Brown and the S-Pen just now. I'll be trading in my current S10+, of course, but for a grand total of $860 with NYS sales tax included, that's a hard deal to pass up. I've never had a phone with over 128 GB of storage, so I want to know how much is available to the user in the 256 GB variant? Does the system itself take up a lot of space? I most likely will have way more storage than I'll need, but it's good to have anyway. Incidentally, does anyone else have the Phantom Brown color? How are you liking it? And lastly, is there anything I need to know or do for when I trade in my S10+? Thanks in advance.

I have the 512GB and mine states the system uses 49.59GB which seems high to me.

I have the 128gb Ultra and the system takes up 23gb for me. I just purchased a used 256 gb because I have 47gb of photos and videos. Plus my YouTube music app has over 20gb of music. I tried with 128gb and I need to have the larger storage. I know I could use cloud photo storage like Google photos but I like to have the photos on my phone to quickly source.
