Samsung Note 3 is exactly the model of my phone. I've always believed it has just 2 GiBs. Let me check...
Yes. free -g in Termux says 2. However...
... free -m says 2834 which means ~2.77 GiB. Well, this indeed is "more than 2GB of RAM" but not much and what a weird number...
> That would be awesome and is my ideal view of the mobile computing future.
Seems like it's the past already. There were numerous attempts (successful in a way or another) years ago and despite the fact smartphones become more and more powerful and add more RAM this approach still doesn't show signs of becoming popular and the most hyped projects get either discontinued or stagnant.
