Hi,
I've bought a Galaxy S8+, rooted it succesfully with Magisk, disabled some apps, installed a custom Kernel and so on.
Noa after tripping KNOX, I saw one thing: On "Storage", the phone says "16.00GB available". What's up with that thing, there isn't even a S8 with 16GB on the market. Have I done something wrong?
I am a bit dissapointed, because I cannot exchange it anymore now (Because of tripped KNOX)
I am on stock sammy rom (7.0).

Any help is greatly appreciated

Yeah, I solved it months ago by entering in TWRP, selecting Wipe > Repair or change file system and then resized filesystem or something like that and then it displayed 32GB normally after boot. You won't loose your data by "resizing" the filsystem, but make a backup first, because things can go wrong.

I fixed this issue so many months ago that I even switched phones in the meantime. I am a happy S7 Edge owner now (Yeah, I found it better than the S8).
