I remeber Moto E 1st Gen with Snapdragon 200, 1GB RAM ,4 GB (2.1 GB usable) Storage.

I have played games on it in 2017 it was some COD AW clone. I could install alot of Apps on just 2.1GB storage. No hang and good multi tasking on 1GB RAM.

Again I got a SD 625 + 4GB RAM and it is awesome.

I remeber thinking 4GB in phone will be max forever as 8GB in PC/Laptop was good enough for gaming and 16GB in PC for browsing ain’t enough.

Now in 2026 6GB in Android is considered low-end and Apps crash.

Again I got a Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 + 8GB RAM.

Devs please stop making apps big, CPU/RAM heavy. Apps like Facebook/Instagram should be shamed they are 1GB each.

Android OS has no limit on cache.

Android OS has no native user-frienly option to control which apps can run in background.

Phone/SoC reviews are a scam, they say SD 363 is 50% better than SD 625. I don’t think it is a very big leak from SD625 to 7s Gen 2.

Reviewers are stuck in 2013, “casual games run OK and COD runs at 60 FPS”, it always did for every phone!

I think I am going to boycott high tier phones.

My Nokia N900 with its paltry 128 MB RAM had better multitasking than a modern Android. It’s a farce.
