"Only 8GB"!? We had 4GB phones only for the longest time and they were fine...

Would've been nice to see a RAM spec bump. I have 6GB on my 6a and apps struggle to stay in memory. It's not fun when an app reloads and I lose my progress within it.
- @lazycouchpotato @GreenEngineering3475 I want to buy a pixel and get started with #GrapheneOS, I have wondered about 8g of ram. I had been thinking it would be enough because I am not interested in AI features. From your comment I am thinking more than 8g of ram might be an advantage even aside from ai.
