4GB RAM is a lot better than before, but I had hoped for 8GB. If the Raspi had a decent amount of RAM I would seriously consider using one as my main computer.

it seems to be the soc limit. I've only seen more than 4gb on custom arm server boards.

Your phone probably has a CPU which costs as much (or nearly as much as the Raspi itself). The Raspi CPUs are never the most sophisticated on the market. Odroid used to make SBCs with the same CPUs as flagship Samsung phones, and they cost $150-200 a board.

Yes, but it's not a custom Arm server board
