System files on Nokia 6 (2018) after Oreo update (8.1) take up 12G... is that normal?

Hi,I bought a Nokia 6 (2018) today and was asked to update to Oreo 8.1. After the update, I now notice in Storage that the system files take up 12G of space. On my trusted Nexus 5X (which I could also update to 8.1), the system files only take up 6G. I think that's rather strange but what do I know. Anyone out here that can shine a light on this? Thanks.

Most likely things that Nokia added to the system.

Nokia don't add a lot to the system though just double tap to wake, glance screen and the camera. It's about as close to stock as you can get.

The system files on my Nokia 8 take up 11GB so I don't think it's anything to worry about.
