I came back to the idea of wasting the hardware capabilities again. The more powerful the hardware, the more power-hungry the apps. So, we're still left with the same situation.
I wrote about my new Moto G05 some time ago and was quite satisfied. On paper, the hardware also looked more than enough for me.
However... I am facing the situation where everything loads three or four times slower than on my very old Redmi Note 9 Pro, which has almost every hardware parameter that is worse than the G05.
How is it possible that the Note 9 Pro has 2 GB of RAM, yet I can run as many apps as I need simultaneously and switch between them as required? On the G05, however, I have 4 GB of RAM, yet I am unable to switch a few times between the baking app and the browser to write my card number into a web form, because the system immediately kills one app as soon as I switch to the second one? So, when I switch to the browser and back, I have to log in to my banking app again and go to the page with my card number. OK... But then, when I switch back to the browser to enter the next part of the credit card number, the browser has been killed in the background. After opening it again, the page has reloaded, so the form is blank and I have lost the part of the credit card number that I had already entered. It's a never-ending circle of madness.
And I'm still asking now. How is it possible that I have better hardware that works much worse? Is it really necessary to close all my apps when I have that much RAM? I have a 'travelling' notebook with the latest Ubuntu, which only has 2 GB of RAM, and I have absolutely no problem running NetBeans IDE, Git GUI client, Vivaldi browser, Terminal and GIMP editor together without any lag.
This really makes me angry. Going back to the phone, I am unable to detect what causes the aggressive killing of apps. I have disabled all the battery optimisation features and tried everything I could to prevent this stupid behaviour, but with no success.
I also have no idea why I have to wait three or four seconds from clicking the 'Settings' icon to launching the main settings menu. Why?
