What this means
Our estimate says Gemma 4 E4B should fit, but there is very little memory left for the operating system and other apps.
Download the Q4_0 version, which is about 4.8 GB. We expect it to use about 5.9 GB of the roughly 6 GB available to a model on this phone.
At the estimated speed, a roughly 300-word answer may take about 3 minutes to finish.
This result is calculated from the phone and model specifications. It has not been measured on this exact phone and setup.
