Some users need increase system partition for flashing a better version of their phones current version. There are some partitions in the storage for the Android system and smartphone to work properly. These are the ones that are going to System, Data, Vendor, Cache, and so on. For these partitions, a specific partition is allocated in the storage space. The reason why less storage appears when we connect a 64 GB phone to a computer is that the space covered by these partitions is hidden.
The partition that we encounter most when installing ROM, the System partition, can sometimes be inadequate. An example of this is the “Insufficient storage space available in System partition” error encountered when installing Google applications in MIUI China.
