Whoever can afford this can already afford the laptop alternatives. My guess is that this will be a convenient "nice to have" item whenever bringing along a tablet over a laptop feels like less of a hassle.
Erm, that's not the same thing that the comment was referring to. We're talking about paying twice for essentially the same app on two different operating systems.
That's different from the lock in that you are referring to. Your explanation involves installing the same purchased app on two devices running Android.
Also, I have a lot of apps and games that only require me to make a one time purchase on either Android or iOS.
I've literally tried every single fix like toggling settings, installing and playing around with custom kernels or trying out root apps, and I've never been able to reduce the aggressiveness of MIUI's RAM management.
That issue persisted even on my flagship-equivalent end MIUI devices. It only seems to disappear after installing AOSP-based custom ROMs.
Oh I was referring to Signal 😅
