That's why I said half the memory.. The other half would be for apps and stuff.
It'd be very interesting to see how much music people store on their phone when they use services like Spotify. I use it on a Nexus 4 and I've never had a problem with running out of space, but I don't have lots of games or anything on there. I honestly doubt it's much more than 2 or 3GB.
just because you personally don't have a need to store more things in the phone, doesn't mean other people won't have usage for these.
I don't like fragile cloud solutions, so my music is offline. I find it amazingly stupid to tell other people to "just delete some of it, because you probably won't listen to it twice". My offline car navigation takes more than 10 GB, and no thank you, I won't use google maps which are not that accurate in places I go, and require constant connectivity (which makes them useless in foreign countries, or in mountains).
My DCIM folder is cca 5 GB after 1 year of usage, and I shoot almost no videos which would make it explode.
FFS, it's almost end of 2015, having 32 GB model as your highest offering is... pathetic.
