It’s interesting because the original iPhone from 2007 managed pretty well with a half a gigabyte of RAM (or was it a quarter?).



An eighth (128 MB) in fact, according to Wikipedia. The original Galaxy S had 512 MB though.


Hasn’t Android always needed more though due to its use of an interpreter/JITer (JVM initially) instead of native code? That doesn’t explain why the PinePhone would need more than two gigabytes for a browser.


Android never used the JVM.
