A spokesperson told CNET UK that Samsung, "appreciate(s) this issue being raised," and that it is "reviewing the possibility [of] securing more memory space through further software optimization." The 16GB GS4 offers only 9.5GB of space for users to fill, but at least we know it's a possibility: Google announced yesterday (http://www.engadget.com/tag/googleio2013/) that Samsung's Galaxy S 4 will arrive in an entirely vanilla Android (http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/15/google-samung-galaxy-s-4-running-stock-android/) guise this June. We've got the full statement from Samsung after the break.
