FAQ
Can Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra run Qwen3 235B A22B?
No. Qwen3 235B A22B needs ~136.9 GB even at Q4_K_M, but Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra only has ~8.5 GB usable.
How much memory does Qwen3 235B A22B need?
Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra does not have enough memory. At Q4_K_M the weights are ~132.39 GB; with KV cache and runtime overhead, budget ~136.9 GB at a 4k context. It is a Mixture-of-Experts model (235B total / 22B active), so all experts must stay in memory; memory tracks total params, not active params.
What is the best tool to run Qwen3 235B A22B on Android?
On Android, PocketPal AI (Polished app, download GGUF and run offline.) is the go-to option. NPU acceleration is limited and chip-specific; most apps run on CPU. Expect 1B-4B class.

Weights are measured from GGUF files; KV cache and overhead are computed, so totals can vary ~15% with context and runtime. Any tok/s is a bandwidth estimate. See methodology.
