Do mobile phones also have a "common area"? How to calculate the memory? Why not ask seriously?

According to Beijing Youth Daily, consumers cannot buy mobile phones that match the size claimed by manufacturers because the system and pre-installed apps will occupy part of the mobile phone's memory. In addition, due to the different calculation methods of 1G on the industrial and consumer sides, for a mobile phone with a nominal 128G memory, the actual capacity that consumers can see is only 119.2G.

It is understandable that the conversion process of 1G in the technical field is compromised; it is also common sense in the industry that the device system will take up a certain amount of space. However, the proportion of the two in the user's mobile phone space should be reminded in the merchant's publicity; it is also the right of users to know the actual available memory value before purchasing. Judging from the comments of netizens, many users think that the mobile phone memory does not match the name, which shows that the industry publicity generally does not fulfill the obligation to remind. Misleading users will naturally be suspected of exaggeration.

More importantly, neither conversion loss nor system usage can cover up the chaos of pre-installed APPs forcibly occupying memory. In new mobile phones, there are more and more built-in software for eating, drinking, playing, clothing, food, housing and transportation, and the actual space left for users to use is naturally becoming tighter. These software are certainly not lacking in practical performance, but how do merchants know whether users like them and want to use them? Many mobile phones have been complained by users for having too many built-in software. Some mobile phone manufacturers charge developers of pre-installed APPs while encroaching on the memory space that belongs to users. Such a low-cost business is really smart, but to a certain extent, it affects the user's right to choose independently.

If you don't like the built-in device of your phone, it seems that you can just delete it, and the space occupied by the device will be automatically restored. In fact, this way of handling is precisely the typical process of merchants innocently increasing the obligations of users. Let's take an example that everyone is familiar with. A merchant sends a promotional text message to a user. If the user does not want to receive it, he has to reply and unsubscribe himself. Although replying is not troublesome and only costs a dime, consumers are all disgusted and angry about this matter, because what they care about is not the cost of time and energy, but why the merchant can openly infringe on their rights.

Some people compare the memory loss of mobile phone users to the "common area" of housing. Perhaps this metaphor is not accurate, but even if it is a common area, there should be coefficient restrictions and clear regulations to follow. Currently, the available memory of almost all mobile phones on the market is less than the marked parameters, and the difference is getting bigger and bigger. This shows that it is an industry practice that the mobile phone memory is not in line with the name, and it also shows that the mobile phone memory labeling needs to be standardized. The price of a mobile phone is closely related to the memory. Unwritten rules are not necessarily unchangeable rules. To optimize the consumption environment, more serious consumers are needed.
