Tested: Google's Pixel 9 Pro models only have 13GB RAM for apps
Google's new Pixel 9 Pro models reserve part of their 16GB RAM exclusively for AI features. I figured out how much.

If apps and the OS weren’t such ram/storage hogs, this would be plenty. Like does the Home Depot app really need half a gig or more? 🙄
id imagine some apps are just running on electron or some microbrowser, so theyre fuctionally browsers and come with some of the memory penalties from running with said sdks. not many conpanies want to design something from the bottom up.
It’s shitty coding and the app stores should reject this garbage and tell the dev to ship it as a web app. If you’re going to ship an entire web browser with every app, then what’s the point of it being an app?
See also apps that bundle twenty different frameworks and then use maybe one or two percent of what’s bundled. 🙄
You most likely wouldn't be shipping an entire web browser with the app. You would use the Webview component (or similar) which just uses the Android System WebView system app that should already be on the phone.
