A new Discord client built into Rust looks pretty shiny and clean, even on low-end Android phones.
I love Discord, but if there’s one thing the app isn’t known for is it’s speed. This is especially true on phones that don’t have a lot of RAM, but a new upcoming Discord client is a game-changer for all users, regardless of platform.
Discord CTO and co-founder Stanislav Vishnevskiy has released several new Discord updates on X that users are excited about. In the video embedded below, you can see Discord running on two very
No release date has been announced for the new client, although it will likely launch soon.
Stanislav says the new client uses a lot less RAM, which is in line with the new PC client he also talked about this week. This client uses only 300MB of RAM in the screenshot posted by Stanislav. While I don’t have access to the new PC client, my current Discord PC client is using 1200 MB of RAM. That’s a massive reduction, assuming the numbers are similar on my machine.
Now that Discord is cleaning up its client and the iPhone Duo is out, I’m personally hoping for a version that works well with foldable phones. The Discord app has been finicky on foldable phones ever since they merged the Android app with the iOS one a few years ago. We can certainly hope.
