Although the current trend is increasingly we have heavier applications on our phonesGoogle is trying to optimize these tools as much as possible so that they take up less space while offering the same functionality that we have always had.

A clear example of this is the latest update of Google Play’s ART compiler (Android Runtime); This item has reached version 14 and Code size of all Play Store applications reduced by up to 9.3%This means that we will gain storage space on the phone without having to do anything.

More optimization, more storage

The first thing you should keep in mind while reading this news is that this update will only affect phones with Android 12 or later; otherwise, Google Play ART compiler not updating and the phone will not be able to benefit from this new benefit.

This is how Google explains the code size reduction in its latest update

However, as Google itself explained to us, an Android device typically has between 500 MB and 1 GB of optimized code space for applications inside, so reducing this space by 9.3% is a pretty significant change. Actually thanks to him We will be able to free up space between 50 and 100 MB As an average value for every smartphone, it is a figure that cannot be ignored.

Therefore, this news especially affects phones with slightly limited internal storage space, and the best thing is that this change Does not mean any reduction in functionality or performance in applications we uploaded. The update has already started rolling out officially, so we will get it on our Xiaomi phones in the coming days.
