Hudl 2 short on storage?

martin57

Hi folks,

I had a play around with the hudl 2 at Tesco and whilst it seems fast enough I was really surprised when I viewed storage to see less than 6gb left, as it comes with quite a few apps installed.

When downloading apps from play store can the hudl be set to install to a micro SD card (I do know they can be moved there later) and will the hudl 2 be a lot slower at reading data from the micro SD card?
Thanks,

Current Android a lot of apps cannot be moved to SD Card .

Out of the box storage space should be 9GB .

The Hudl 2 is advertised as having 16GB storage but when I check the storage on mine it says only 9.12GB total space with 8.27GB available.
So where is the missing nearly 7GB? Some is apparently reserved for Tesco specific stuff but it beggars belief this would amount to 7GB. I mean, 7GB is nearly enough for a full Windows 8 installation. I feel a bit cheated about this and think Tesco should make it clearer that customers are not getting 16GB actual storage space to play with.

I think that you will find that you never get the full capacity to play with, no matter what system be it android, windows, iOs etc. Some space is taken up by the operating system, and then any add ons provided.

My Hudl2 reports nearly 4GB as cached data! Must be why its so quick.
