Exactly. Manufacturers that stuff overkill amounts of RAM in their phones just screams "we didn't know what to bother upgrading and didn't want to spend R&D in other more useful things, so we put 12GB/16GB to say we did something".Heck, 6 gigs is still getting the job done nicely.
Well 4 gigs works too, but I don't want to go backwards.Heck, 6 gigs is still getting the job done nicely.
It's actually a delicate balance and a lot depends on how you use your device. More RAM uses more battery because it always on whether it's full or not so if you're a minimilist user too much RAM is a waste in money and battery efficiency. If you have too little RAM and are a heavy user your RAM keeps swapping out apps and reloading so it's also not battery efficiency, however your out of pocket for the device is less. I'm of the opinion that 6 to 8 is a good number but we can't buy devices in every configuration. Many of us buy a 512GB device because we like lots of storage and also get stuck buying more RAM.Exactly.

It was you who talked me into Samsung. I knew you were rotten to the coreOn stock andriod phones you don't need that much ram only keep things in memory longer, Samsung phones do with all the apps that run in the background ,dex etc ...keeps them running smoothly combined with latest chips .
Lol..not saying anything badIt was you who talked me into Samsung. I knew you were rotten to the core
If you disable all the Samsung apps that you don't need, it should help converse more RAM.On stock andriod phones you don't need that much ram only keep things in memory longer, Samsung phones do with all the apps that run in the background ,dex etc ...keeps them running smoothly combined with latest chips .
It definitely does , but most dont dive into that , especially system apps that only can with say PDPIf you disable all the Samsung apps that you don't need, it should help converse more RAM.
Tech savvy consumers buy devices with large amounts of RAM, not just the ignorant and uninformed.Yes they do.
But it is an easy marketing term for the uninformed and ignorant.
It allows manufacturers to increase the profits on a phone by charging extra.
Not everyone is tech savy so they just go off numbers without a real understanding of the meaning behind them.
Heck my 2 year old Note "only" has 6gb ram and there is usually 3gb of free ram.
How often has all 6gb been used? NOT ONCE

Android is designed to never use all of its RAM regardless of size which explains why you have RAM left over. The bottom line is less RAM equals more app swapping and reloading.
