This's really unfortunate.

Will be enough to fit and run Qwen4-27B MoE, if MoE arch comes out (it will be either MoE and/or dense). The current Qwen3.x-27B dense arch runs slow on unified memory devices.

which makes it unsuitable for general purpose AI models (>=24B) at a minimum Q4_K_M quant:

nasty, not an alternative to Apple's Neo then

its a 5090 Mobile, not desktop:

small difference

The reason might be the size of the recovery partition.

Every Android device has a recovery partition that contains the whole OS, and this partition gets copied to the working partition when you do a factory reset.

Maybe because they set up the recovery partition to be too small, it cannot fit the newer version of Android. That would explain the "storage" issue they have with this device.

Still a total shame from Sony to not foresee this kind of issue.

My 11 years old iPad has a resale value of about €0 plus €30 for the remaining value of the replaced battery. That is, wait long enough and also Apple products lose their value!
