What happened to RAM use? Ignoring gaming (which a large sunbset of the market never ever does), phones these days are doing exactly the same things they were doing back when 512MB was considered a generous amount of RAM. It feels as if Google deliberately ended all RAM frugality in platform updates to get ever bigger ad delivery machines into pockets.
- jeroenhd 2y agoMost of my phone's RAM is going towards Firefox and maybe a few messengers that stay resident. The rest is all cache just in case I want to switch back to an app I opened yesterday. Running Android on 512MB is a thing of the past but if websites could stop bloating themselves up with Javascript modules and megabytes of images, this phone would probably be fine as a daily driver for someone who doesn't use their phone all that often.
