Just a web browser capable of showing most popular web sites is quite a demanding application.
Messengers capable of VoIP and/or real time video are computationally demanding.
And these two alone are in high demand. My 512MiB phone is a bit overstretched already just by running the basic phone infrastructure (messaging, calls) + LINE + Whatsapp + browser. I must manually manage background apps and memory daily. Hopefully with 2GiB and better OS memory multitasking and memory management this will be a lesser problem.
Phones are more or less where desktop computers were in the 2000s OS-wise.
