UPDATE:

As you know, the "issue" is that the manufacturers/carriers
"imply" that the primary memory is augmentable, when it's
actually *not* augmentable with the addition of an sd card:

So, I took up the carrier on their offer to buy a replacement
phone, with full value being given for the original phone:

After I swapped out the $200 0MB LG Optimus F3 for the $400 12GB
LG/Google Nexus 5, here are the 100 apps (shown on the left) which
took up the first 4GB of primary memory:

Below are the 60 or so apps which can be considered "typical"
for many users, and which take up at least 2GB of additional
primary memory on this brand-new Android phone.

If you know of a "typical" app which is missing, please

mistakes I idiotically made.
