    Didn’t read the article and I haven’t really used Android in a almost a decade, but aren’t most android devices on seriously old versions and sold with 2GB RAM or less. Or are shit Android devices less common nowadays?

    Last time I seriously considered an Android device was 8ish years ago and devices running Android 2 were still being sold new.

      My old, crappy phone that retailed for $250 (got for much cheaper) had 4GB RAM (released 2019 or 2020), and my current one has 8GB RAM. The one before that had 2GB IIRC, and was released around 2017, and it was crappy for the time.

      Modern barrel bottom Android phones in the past few years require an ARM64 system, and come with minimum 4GB / 64GB RAM and Storage. Good phones will have 8, 12, even 16 GB RAM and up to 1TB Storage.
