Oh, so you read bigbugbag's comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15049992)

as saying that it's 2 GB after the system installation? That seems to make it a strange response to itg's comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15049947)

which is clearly referring to the pre-OS available space.
I've seen a phone like this running Lollipop. The best part is when it decides to auto-update all the built-in (Google) apps, collectively consuming a total of 1-1.5GB of /data, at which point Google Play refuses to let you install any apps because you do not have enough free space available.
