I also looked a bit how others have decided to show it...

How Windows 7 is showing it -> 8.00 GB (7.75 GB usable) for 64-bit version:

Or for 32-bit version, whith a big difference, probalby because it was
reserving a lot for the GPU:

Or for 4 GiB 32-bit version:

How Windows 10 is showing it -> 8.00 GB (7.85 GB usable):

How Android is showing it -> 3.9 GB/8GB used (and the reserved one on a new
line):

So Android tries to show everything on that page in a few lines, the available
one, the used one and the total one.
Since it can show the reserved one too, probably there the firmware and the
bootloader report to the OS how much they have reserved from it.
Unlike Windows that just shows the total one and leaves the used and available
one to other tools, like the task manager (resource / system monitor there).
Which makes sense when you have 2 different tools, one to show the system
information and one to should the resources usage.
Which Plasma has too, but I think this this information page is mingling
things, showing resource usages that belong to the System Monitor.
Even more since the hardware section should show the hardware as it is, not how
it is used or how much of it it is used.
For example the CPU in the same Hardware section is shown as:
8 × Intel® Core™ i5-8250U CPU @ 1.60GHz
Which besides the stupid 8 x (as as I have only one) is showing the correct
base frequency.
Not the current one which is only 400 MHz or the maximum one that sometimes is
reached, which is: 3.40 GHz:
