Device: Google Pixel 9 Pro
Category: android
Memory: 16 GB (ram), usable for models: 10.5 GB
Memory bandwidth: 68.3 GB/s
MSRP (USD): 999
Best runtime: llama.cpp (PocketPal) or MLC-LLM (Adreno GPU path)
Notes: 16GB LPDDR5X confirmed via GSMArena. Android Police investigation confirmed 2.6GB hardware-partitioned for Google Gemini/on-device ML features, not available to apps. Android OS overhead ~3-4GB additional; usable estimate ~10-10.5GB (community estimate). Practical ceiling: 7B Q4_K_M fits (~7GB runtime); 13B Q4_K_M tight (~11.7GB) may OOM. MLC-LLM uses the Adreno GPU for faster inference vs CPU-only path. Tensor G4 chip handles 1B-4B models well natively via Google AI Edge.
