The other apps that are pre-downloaded on the device are taking up that space. If you want more space choose the apps that you want to delete or get an sd card.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, because of system software. If you go to the General tab under settings, then tap Storage, you can see where the memory is being used. It's also a good idea to tap the application cache to clear it once a day or so.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, it is really sad, but true. You get 4gb after Samsung loads up all of its apps, plus all the stock Google apps. Can't move any preloaded apps to sd card. I disabled most apps that are preloaded so they don't run and build a cache that eats more of that space.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.To be honest I didn't pay that close attention when I got it. It does have a micro SD slot built in. I believe it can handle up to 32 or 64 GB SD cards.
