Our 2GB RAM are enough? Z5C future proof ? - Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey,
as you see the Z5C barely came out year ago
and semi heavy game, left the phone with about 10% of RAM memory
(no other apps open) the only app that open ,is small app that checks free RAM in real time
also (swap)ZRAM was about 10% , when i left the app, and return the main screen again the game was closed and you could the see the icons reloading and the ram jumped again, that why i use my old phone and real time small app ... had to reload the game again....
anyway year after that the device didn't move at all 0RAM (my old sony) and also when sony uses Zram the device relatively slow , and had to replace the device
i know swap(zram size can be changed when rooted.. but again...much slower than RAM (i've tried it on my previous sony it help till i got new device)
in short! how many time you think we have till we need to replace our Z5C?

What would you replace it with? There is no competition and even Sony gave up on compact flagships.

yup X is 5" inch, although is not by match , my previous sony was 3.7inch",
another reason why probably Z5C my last phone from sony along with overheating ,software\hardware random bugs\problems ,
xperia X is 3GB and full HD screen compared to Z5C
beside that z5c is better According to basemark X, and anutu ) only X performance is really better overall
if z5c at least had 3GB RAM it was better\future proof , i guess ill need to replace again after 2- 5 years

Just use AOSP-based ROMs with Kernels and mod the **** out of them
(e.g. add vnswap, zswap, ..., if necessary even UKSM or KSM) and other stuff,
that should be enough for at least the next few years ...

As far as I see in these forums, we will never have stable, fully working AOSP roms. There is simply not enough interest in z5 line, also after about a year since the release. You and few other developers are the ones bringing features but there's still a lot of work to do and the phone is already 1year old. This is only my impression and I hope it is a wrong one as i really like AOSP customizations.
But for now I think we can't compare stock with AOSP in terms of usability.
Regarding the topic, i also thought about using Zram to keep more apps opened in background. I also felt this need particularly when playing games.

Debloat the rom and use Greenify donated, that will always help with the memory.
