Total is 16 gigs
Allotted to android is 4.97 gigs
Available space is 11.03 gigs
Used space is around 1.76 gigs. So Free space should be 11.03-1.76 = 9.27 gigs not 8.73
Where is the remaining storage?
Haven't used android in a long time so don't know much but on my father's rooted Galaxy S2 I had to delete dumpstate log or something 2 times which ate significant amount of available space.

Or is that 500+MB allotted for something just like in a USB drive? But if that's the case, shoudn't it show 15.5 gigs in the first place
The phone is only 16 gigs with no microSD slot so I am thinking that they provide 16 gigs full or maybe it is added in the Android OS space
