Why do mobile phones with 8+ gigs of RAM still kill minimized apps in the background when PCs with less RAM don’t?
In: Technology
Battery saving, that’s really about it.
Even if you ran some of the most RAM intensive apps on Android simultaneously, you probably wouldn’t even break 6GB of RAM.
8GB and up is significant overkill and usually is done just to make it look more impressive on a spec sheet.
But saving a bunch of apps in RAM is energy intensive, so some companies utilize extremely aggressive RAM management.
