      I was trying to mention things that weren’t just web browsers. Since it seemed the comment was about programs that use more ram than they seemingly need to.

      Edit: There’s like photogrammetry and stuff that happens on phones now!

          games are probably a better argument honestly, but even at that point, it’s not a really good experience. Unless you buy a gaming phone, which i guess is an option. Regardless the mobile gaming market is actually vile.

        No, the photogrammetry apps all use cloud processing. The LIDAR ones don’t, but that’s only for Apple phones and the actual mesh quality is pretty bad.

        i suppose photo editing would be one? Maybe? I’m not sure how advanced photo editing would be on mobile, it’s not like you’re going to load up the entirety of GIMP or something.

        As for photogrammetry, i’m not sure that would consume very much ram. It could, i honestly don’t think it would be that significant.

        it’s not like most people are chronically browsing the web on their phones.

        Yes, they do.

          and it’s also the worst place to do that. If you’re going to be chronically online like me, you should at least give it clear boundaries between something you carry on you at all times, and something that you regularly have access to, like my workstation for instance.

          Unless you like being horribly depressed or something.
