Recently we are seeing the trend of putting Jelly Bean on 256MB RAM devices, we don’t know yet the performance of these phones as Jelly Bean is not optimized to run on these kind of low end devices. It is also worth nothing that some of the popular Android games won’t be able to run on this kind of budget devices with tiny piece of RAM.
