I still have a ZTE Open C with me. It has 512MB of RAM and 2-core CPU.

It's been running on the Firefox OS quite slow. Having in mind a very poor functionality, I considered to switch to Android. When I installed Android, it was a total game changer. It was fast and smooth (back in 2014 of course, not now) and I never installed Firefox OS again.

Success: Enough market share to build a sustainable business so that it doesn't go away at some point.

And I know about Android's problems there (and mentioned it). But Windows Phone and FirefoxOS both chased those markets and they're both basically gone now.

My first Android phone only had 192 MB of RAM.

Funny story, so did mine. It was a nightmare. That was almost a decade ago. If you want an experience as bad on modern Android, you need 512MB ram.
