Welcome to Android Central.

Are you saying that the OS takes 3.5GB of storage? That's perfectly normal.
Or are you saying that it now takes 3.5GB of storage more than it did?

3.5GB for an OS on a mobile phone. That is insane. I would suspect they did it on purpose as a new slant on built in obsolescence. Terrible new that is has turned into bloatware. All 4gb phones are now obsolete in the market. :-(
