Make no mistake — Android isn't memory hungry because of Java alone. Android 4 used to comfortably fit in 1Gb of RAM, but Android 10 no longer can run on such devices. Both old and new versions use JVM, but newer Android has a lot of "helpful" system services, such as "Usage Statistics" service [1] and "Autofill Servide" [2]. Google's spyware is becoming more invasive and thus more memory-hungry. 1: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/usage/UsageStats https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/usage/Us... 2: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/service/autofill/AutofillService https://developer.android.com/reference/android/service/auto...
