OnePlus just fixed a phone screen problem not even Apple or Samsung have solved

I dont want to read the article, what..uhh....what's the solution? And is it coming (will they sell it to) to other phones too?

Edit: read the article and there's no mention of it. Just talks about the ram of it, as if phones were short RAM these days.

I'll similarly stay away from OnePlus as they are basically nothing more than overpriced af "stock-like" clones of Oppo/Vivo at this point.

It will let you run more advanced local AI. I'm looking forward to running private LLMs.

Doubt it, I don't use so much even on my gaming PC.

For the user? Not at all. For the companies that want their spying/tracking apps to run and take your precious data 24/7? Yes, this way dozens of apps can track you even if you open a hundred more afterwards and forget about them, they can live forever deep down those 24gb

The only reason I can think of is for more on device ai. LLMs like ChatGPT are extremely greedy when it comes down to RAM. There are some optimizations that squeeze them into a smaller memory footprint at the expense of accuracy/capability. Even some of the best phones out there today are barely capable of running a stripped down generative ai. When they do, the output is nowhere near as good as when it is run in an uncompressed mode on a server.

Mostly caching I guess, so less cold starting of apps

It will allow future developers to create even less optimized apps and not worry about how resources are used.

Maybe it will be able to keep more than 2 apps open in the background! Although I wish app devs would build apps to use less resources instead.
