QUOTE(LightningChan @ Apr 7 2017, 11:01 PM) Now I'm really starting to suspect WeChat... Sigh..if Sony don't release 7.0 update with the capability to remove bloatware I'm gonna root it and remove them all.. I just walk into SenHeng and check out the XA Ultra demo. 16GB already taken by 8GB of Apps and System. LMAO. Left less than 7GB for Free Apps out of the box.

Yeah. 8.5GB out of the box and somewhat just a little over 5GB after the updates and all. I bought the phone mainly because of the screen and selfie camera. Was using a 16GB Xperia Z running Android 5.1 before this. Din't think XA Ultra on Android 6.0 would be this bad. No thanks to Sony bloatwares.

QUOTE(LightningChan @ Apr 7 2017, 08:17 PM) I shall dig into WeChat more. Haha.. Really unusable now. Dont know why Sony allow user to remove some bloatware like AVG anti virus, Amazon Shopping etc on their flagship but XA and XA Ultra cannot remove. U go to storage setting there, internal storage, and choose others. It should show you in folder view.. search Tencent.. you try select and check the details of this Tencent folder. I did have friends used up 2gb space. I don't install WeChat because I didn't need that so I can't show you. But I know this is the way to check it out cause I always help my gf parents clean up all these iin their phone cause same problem like urs.. All of these are included with voice message, picture, videos which is not able to clear from apps data.. same to WhatsApp as well.. all WhatsApp images will stay in a WhatsApp images folder.

16GB is not enough these days. Best option is to sell the phone and upgrade to a larger capacity one. Min should be 32GB these days.

But I like the phone for its screen and selfie camera. Gonna wait for the long awaited Android 7.0 update from Sony. If it doesn't improve I'm gonna root it and remove all the stupid bloatwares.

Oppo selfie camera cannot fight this. 16MP large sensor and OIS. haha. Screen also. This is edge to edge. And yeah, have to root and remove bloatware if Sony still don't allow removal of those bloatware. Don't know why they include the stupid AVG and Amazon shopping in.

I didn't try this XA selfie before but when I ask those chicks why buy OPPO camera and they straight away demo photo in front of me. Walao. Girl instantly turn Dream girl, me instantly turn korean oppa.  And that camera is not 16MP (R9s) is just only 8MP (F1s or something iinm the model) somemore. Really have to admit the Beautify 4.0 are so amazing. This post has been edited by NightFelix: Apr 10 2017, 11:25 AM

I was considering XA Ultra and Zenfone 2 Selfie before this but ended with XA Ultra coz I was previously using Xperia Z. Sony fan.. This post has been edited by LightningChan: Apr 10 2017, 03:16 PM

For my HTC, it's similar but it fluctuates. Yours should be same also, so u may wanna monitor it. That day i only got 400+ mb remaining, then i add more stuff so it should decrease somemore, but instead i have 600+ mb free space now. So dont worry too much as i dont think 16gb will finish so fast.

Increase Internal Memory By Compressing Apps: "Never Uninstall Apps – SpaceUp" app from the Google Play Store. Download link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spaceupThe only downside about this amazing App is that compressed Apps cannot be use until you uncompressed it.
