4GB ram is enough for a glorified Lemmy/PornHub device. I use a Redmi 4x with 4GB and a snapdragon 435. It’s fast enough for modern mobile games (well barely).

Not anymore. Phones running Android 15 can get a full version of android rather than the Go variant but Android 16 and above require 6 GB of RAM or you’ll have to use the Go variant.

At the end of the day the entire OS has gotten bloated with features and apps have gotten larger and more resource hungry.

On my device I have 5.2GB of RAM currently allocated to “System”, and 2.9GB allocated to apps.
