Am I the only one who thinks that 16 gb RAM or more is too much for a phone if it's not for playing or hard tasks in general ? I think it's better for a PC/Laptop though

    In the context of LLM its not. Multitasking and performance would suffer for these use cases.

    Because we all needed LLMs on our phones.

    I can't see anyone outside of a extreme power user wanting this. People are unlikely to care.

    16GB ram is only available on the top end models of high end smartphones. Regular Instagram, Facebook users are not buying those Smartphones.

    Still there isn't much need for that much ram

  • with how badly programmed some Android applications are it isn't that outrageous, especially if someone wants to watch a movie and run multiple web scrapers in parallel in the background. Not everyone uses their phone the same way, and quite a few basically never use the calling or texting features that make it a phone.
