      It’s not about a single app, it’s about multitasking without having to reload apps.

      At various times I’ve juggled between 4 apps at once on my phone. Say something like Messaging, Firefox, maybe a lemmy app, and Bitwarden for logging into something.

        Me too, and I’ve never had an issue juggling those apps on my Pixel 6 with 8gb RAM.

          I think it’s likely you would have access to all of it because the testing in the article clearly shows the kernel can see the memory. Thus, the graphene kernel should be able to use it.

        When Android uses this larger page size, we observe an overall performance boost of 5-10% while using ~9% additional memory.

        From the linked article. So I doubt that the larger page size is the (only) reason for 16G ram. AI is the more likely reason.

          Ooh I understand that it’s for AI, I just meant that more RAM would certainly help in this case.
