    Phones are being pushed to have full 3D game experiences. For example: running new resident evil games or Death Stranding. These things need that memory. It’s unified memory, so it’s RAM and VRAM all in one.

    It also enables multitasking. And if you are on Android, you are running Chrome, right? Notorious RAM eater.

      I don’t have games on my phone and I use duckduckgo. Every phone I’ve ever had has been at 60% memory usage idle.
