14 DAY TRIAL // Motorola DROID 4, the latest addition to Verizon’s popular DROID lineup, comes to the market with 16GB of internal memory, yet users won’t see in it more than 8GB.
The handset went for sale at Verizon yesterday, featuring a price tag of $199 on contract (though some retailers have it available for much less than that), and users have already started complaining regarding the promised internal memory and the actual available storage.
Apparently, there’s a simple explanation for this state of facts. Motorola did put 16GB of storage space inside Motorola DROID 4, but split it in three, the same as inside the DROID RAZR.
Thus, 8GB of this storage space is available for the user, 3GB is meant for applications, and the other 5GB for the OS and for the upgrades that are planned for it.
