One UI 5.1 bloatware does not consume 60GB storage on Samsung Galaxy S23 phones.
You always lose about 7% of storage marketed by manufacturers due to conversion losses.
Samsung and some other OEMs choose to hide lost space under the system storage.

Based on several reports, we previously confirmed that Android 13 takes up an incredible 60GB of storage on the new Samsung Galaxy S23 series because of One UI 5.1 bloatware. This came as a real shocker because the system partition on Google’s Pixel 7 series was thought to be a quarter of that at 15GB. If the new Galaxy S23 phones indeed consumed 60GB of internal storage, that would mean the 128GB storage model of the standard S23 would actually be offering half the internal storage for user data and apps. Thankfully, that’s not the case.
