Hi, Arturo, while attempting to verify this ticket, we captured the following metric:

"metrics.device_total_ram": 5643952128, using a Samsung Galaxy A53 5G (Android 13) device with 6 GB RAM.
Glean log: https://debug-ping-preview.firebaseapp.com/pings/test-delia/fd023187-df35-4467-8c8d-b7b242894d2d
and
"metrics.device_total_ram": 1049096192,, using an Google Pixel 6 API 23 emulator with 768 MB RAM.
Glean log: https://debug-ping-preview.firebaseapp.com/pings/amocirean5/3a2011ab-9411-42c4-8e02-88717e74638f

Can you please confirm if this is the expected metric we should capture here? Thanks!
