About 460Mb. Upcoming update 10 might raise this amount a bit, due to better memory handling, but I'm not expecting that more than 500Mb would be possible - Sailfish OS user interface needs its part all the time.

For those who think it's not enough: Jolla is not an Android phone ;)

This article last June seemed to suggest ~800M: http://reviewjolla.blogspot.com/2014/06/techspecs-android-on-jolla-phone.html

Quoted from the very same article:

  • In practice I've seen Sailfish OS giving max 460 Mb of RAM to the Android side
  • Total RAM: 811MB
  • Free RAM: 216MB <-- Note: Free RAM on the article writers phone
