Can anyone tell me if they have had any issues with their memory on this phone? It's 16gb but I read that it can have as much of half of this taken up by the system. Does it leave enough space to run fb, whatsapp, insta etc? I know a few of them can be transferred to the SD card but not many can be transferred over (as far as i'm aware). If anyone is able to offer me advice on this i would appreciate it.

My daughter currently has the S5 mini and that is just about enough space but looking at this one is looks as though it has less space available initially than the S5 mini, however, i really like the look (and price) of this one.

thanks

Im using the phone since June 2016, at first there was the heating issue on the battery.. but after updating to marshmallow, there was no heating issue. Games are running smoothly.. and i'm using the for MU Origin, COC, Pokemon etc. The adaptive fast charger is helpful, 45 mins full charge is not bad at all. normally phone died when 5%, quiet normal for the marshmallow update.
