- kapitanjakc 4y agoin 2015 2gigs ram in a phone was premium I think.. I had a cheap one from Xiaomi and was happy with 2gigs
- MBCook 4y agoIt was also the spec of the iPhone 8, which gets iOS 16 this year and is thus considered fully supported. Seems reasonable on Google’s part to me.
- gpt5 4y agoExcept that this article is about Android Go, which is a stripped down version of Android (with special, stripped down Google apps as well). iOS 16 on iPhone 8 would be the full experience (and would run much more smoothly than those 2GB Android Go phones).
- mccorrinall 4y agoA different reference: in 2011 my Xperia Arc S was running happily with 512MB RAM on Android 2.3
- scarface74 4y agoThe iPhone 4S released in 2011 also had 512MB RAM and got its last security update in 2019
- matyasrichter 4y agoAnd only got updated to iOS 9. Naturally, the minimum requirements for later version were greater than that.
- Dylan16807 4y agoAlso for reference: They used to make Android phones with 512MB of storage and the capabilities at that point were pretty damn similar to today's phones, just with a bad screen.
