Here is my problem. I go to check the system and It shows Internal storage "Total space 8.92 GB" "Available space 8.63". It's supposed to have 16 GB of internal memory. I understand that some of the OS and other bloatware is going to take up some of the Internal memory, but Almost half? 8GB? that seems a bit extreme. Is this normal or do I have a defective phone?
Thanks

There is nothing wrong with your MoPho. The internal memory is partioned, and the user does not have full access to all of it.
The user has access to 8.91 gigs for storage of music, photos, videos, app cache and other non app downloads.
2.8 gigs is used for app storage.
A portion goes for formatting. Similar to formatting a 16 gig storage card. The user does not have all of the 16 gigs available after formatting a 16 gig card.
The rest is used for the OS, internal cache and security......
