ART does retain one of the key benefits of JIT compilation: OS knows exactly what the hardware specifications are when installing an application on a phone, tablet or other device and it is able to produce native machine code. It knows that the hardware will not change and so is able to optimize the generated code to match the processor. This is in contrast to static compilers which must often produce code which is not optimized for a particular processor or produce multiple versions of code for different processors.
