      Eveb budget 200 dollar Androids come with 6gb RAM onboard.
      Extra features or apps running in the background is no longer a burden on the overall user experience.

          ponk87, 08 Apr 2020Stock android does not sell phones only the tech community ... moreExactly, stock Android was popular in the days when most manufacturers had subpar Android skins out of the box which slowed down the device, had poor RAM management, etc.

          In 2020, stock Android is purely playing catchup and manufacturer skins have become incredibly polished including the Chinese ones.

Therefore the Pop-up app feature just not very important to me, unless use it on a 8~10 inch tablet.

                        It's has the potential on big screen.
                        Floating app would be (maybe) useful for tablet because tablet has 8 or 10 inch screen to keep all the contents in much reasonable sized, but a phablet screen are still tiny and crowded with keeping all the contents.

                          LG Superfan, 10 Apr 2020And I use calculator and calendar the mostWhen I use calculator and calendar the split screen is better and it also get things done, the split screen size is much wider to keep the content much clear to see than the tiny Pop up window. Even I use the download floating note app, it provide a Background transparency to share (views) in one screen, you know why because the floating app are occupy the screen when I using the floating app + Keep Note + on-screen qwerty keyboard, that's looks much crowded.

                                  Actually I have download a floating note app from GPlaystore simple an lightweight for preview some Note, other than this pop-up app is too small for doing other things. Actually I use a lot split screen and normally it get things done . Tell me how are you using with this Pop-up app usually?

                                        Support seamless updates sounds great, but I WISH it can like the computer software installation, let the user choose what feature to install and what do not install and the basic feature which must be installed, so it can save more the battery Ram and Rom, maybe can install the specific feature next time or uninstall the specific feature next time.
