Why is the area size reserved for softdevice not the same?

I deleted the flash completely for the bootloader example, then I installed soft device. The softdevice area for nrf52832 is written as 148 kb in the documents. In nrfgo studio it writes 152 kb. Why are the two different?

Which does, indeed, tell you that it is obsolete: I guess it would be more helpful if they told you what to use instead Current tools are listed here: https://www.nordicsemi.com/Software-and-tools…

Hi,

The reason for the discrepancy is that nRF Go studio displays the MBR section (0x0 - 0x1000) as a part of the Softdevice image, and not as a separate component like in the table you referred to (softdevice memory layout). We recommend using the programmer app in nRF connect as Awneil already pointed out. There the MBR will be displayed as a separate component.
