I'm still using a Nexus 4 with 2gb of RAM, running android 7. 6 was terrible performance, but it's been running well with 7; no issues with constant swapping or the like. The camera is absolutely atrocious, and the 8gb internal storage is really showing it's age, but it still runs everything really well for me - probably since I've never used apps like Facebook. The biggest issue so far has been a flash sector failure or a cosmic ray or something that forced me to wipe everything and reinstall from scratch.
I would have upgraded it in the last year or two but I can't find a phone I really want, nearly everything produced these days is a much larger form factor.
