Anybody here got a #FairPhone 5 with 6 GB RAM who could tell me how much RAM the #Android on it is using? I was told the current Android uses 5 GB on its own and I am SHOCKED. My entire gaming PC runs off of less than 5 GB RAM, browser, background tasks and all, until I start a game. My current phone only has 4 GB and needs 2.5 for everything (old Android though).
@wildrikku it's not using 5GB.
Android try to allocate as much RAM as possible, but when you need more it will free up so much memory as needed.
@wildrikku @WeAreFairphone Not exactly your request, but maybe helpful nonetheless: I have a FP5 with 8 GB of RAM with LineageOS, which uses 3,4 GB of RAM during normal usage. Android itself uses around 2,4 GB of that.
