Google Ends the 16GB Android Era: What the New 32GB Minimum Means for Everyone

Google has quietly but decisively ended the era of 16GB Android smartphones. With the rollout of Android 15, any phone that wants to ship with Google apps—including essentials like the Play Store—must now have at least 32GB of internal storage and 2GB of RAM. Devices that fall below this threshold are relegated to the lighter, stripped-down Android Go Edition, or lose access to Google Mobile Services (GMS) entirely This change is more than a technical footnote. It signals a major shift in the Android ecosystem, with far-reaching implications for developers, manufacturers, retailers, marketers, and consumers alike. Why Google Raised the Bar Apps Are Heavier, Expectations Are Higher The days when 16GB could comfortably house the Android OS, a handful of apps, and some photos are long gone. Modern apps—especially those with rich media, AI features, and offline capabilities—are significantly larger.

How to view and end not responding processes on Ubuntu Linux

If you have recently switched from Windows Operating system to Linux, you must admit that it takes some getting used to for one to comfortably operate that Linux system.

From experience, it took me almost three months to getting fully used to the basic operational functions.

I still struggle with a few. 

In this article, we look at how to access and stop processes o linux. 

As a former Windows user, when the system hanged, i could simply press the key combinations CTRL + ALT + DEL to open the task manager and end processes.

That doesn't seem to apply to Linux, of course these are two different Operating systems. Even though in their documentations it is recorded that the same shortcut would work, it usually doesn't. 

So, what do you do if you find yourself in such a scenario? Simple;

  1. Go to your menu option and look for System monitor.
  2. In this app, you will find details of all the applications currently running. 
  3. To stop a process that seems to be problematic, click on it for the "end process" option to appear.
  4. You can also click on the settings button to see more details on the application you have chosen to end on view.
