| Dec 13 at 7:48 | comment | added | John Dallman | @qwertykeyboard: Possible causes for that include a rules change (Android needs more and more RAM as it is developed), or lack of enforcement back in Android 9 days. | |
| Dec 13 at 3:29 | comment | added | qwerty keyboard | But the strange thing is that I had a "Wiko Ride", another ultra low end mediatek phone, that ran the ARM64 version of Android 9. Similar specs too. | |

More about 32- vs 64-bit on low memory devices, Android 15 compatibility rules.
|
| Dec 1 at 18:32 | comment | added | John Dallman | @qwertykeyboard: Yes. It's generally safe to assume anything low-cost and labelled "Elite" is suffering from excessive marketing. This version of the SoC's ability to run 64-bit code is thus not useful for Android, but it may well be the easy and cheap way to get 32-bit performance. | |

Clarify 2GB rule.
|
| Dec 1 at 17:16 | comment | added | qwerty keyboard | "As of the Android 14 compatibility rules, devices with less than 2GB RAM are required to only run 32-bit applications" Is that why my Stratus C5 """"Elite"""" is on a 32bit build of Android despite the SOC supporting 64bit? | |
