4gb or 6gb

Does 2gb of RAM makes too much difference on daily usage?

I don't play games, but I use a lot Evernote (synced), OneNote (synced), and PdFs.

The difference between 4 and 6 Gb ram probably wouldn't make a big impact on your usage, then. But if you're the type of person who keeps his/her device for several years, the extra 2Gb would help with future-proofing.

Not really in today's usage. The only difference is that it would keep apps in memory longer, assuming that it is coded correctly of course

That is true, 6gb would be better for future proofing

A lot of.pekole says the extra ram 6gb v 4gb is quite noticeable in the phones performance. I've never used a 6gb to confirm this myself. But it's probably true about future proofing.

Yes...

Im with this doubt because 6gb version is a bit more than 100 dollars more expensive.

I haven't noticed any difference between my s8+ and Note 8 other than the note 8 keeps apps in memory longer

Well if you plan to keep it for 4 years then it's only $25 more per year

I remember huawei CEO said their phones runs slower on 6GB of ram. Kinda weird to hear that.

That's up to optimization but I can't say that that's true on my note 8

That's with their phones. Not with any other manufacturers.

If Samsung can do it then other manufacturers can do it...

I bet. I just stated what CEO said

 

[csetoue]

I bet. I just stated what CEO said

When he said that?

After Mate 10 launch?

Thanks for sharing that though. At least we know why they chose the ram they did...

 

[dpham00]

When he said that?

After Mate 10 launch?

I would guess so

Way before. Earlier in the year. I read it in an article that was posted either here or in Android Authority

I really doubt having more ram would slow down your phone. Probably not fully optimized

 

[csetoue]

I'm still in doubt between the non-pro 4gb/64gb and the non-pro 6gb/128gb.

The difference in price is almost 150 bucks. It's not a negligible difference.

That would be my guess
