Is 4GB of RAM large enough for pixel 3 and XL

[Mike Dee]

Well they did cheap out last year with LG displays

Is that a fact that the LGs cost less or even was the actual reason? Isn't it possible it was a supply issue as well? I'm not saying it was a supply issue but if you are just assuming it's cost based, then let's be clear about it just to be fair.

Well I think it's a given if you want the best display you go with Samsung like Apple has done. So I think they tried to save a few bucks going with LG. At least that's the way I see it

Right, so you answered my question. You don't know the actual reason. You are just assuming it cost less and that's the reason they went with LG. Isn't it possible that Samsung couldn't meet the demand? After all they did use Samsung screens in last year's smaller Pixel. This year they switched it up and it appears that they went with Samsung panels for the larger Pixel while LG did a great job of improving the OLED for the smaller one. Also, you must be aware that Apple contracted with LG to make screens. So if Apple does it what's the reason?

This year the smaller Pixel 3 has a LG display.

So what you are saying is that maybe LG screens cost more last year? And for the amount of screens they had to produce the the Pixel 2XL I doubt very much that Samsung would have had a problem making enough. I mean let's be honest they didn't have to produce that many for the Pixels right? It's not like they were trying to produce 10's of millions like it was an iPhone.

Samsung did have a problem making enough displays for the 2016 Pixels. So, Google splitting the load makes sense. They did it last year and again this year.

I did not saying that. I'm saying you don't know the reason and you're just making an assumption based on your beliefs. It's OK to do that. I wanted to know if you had information that proved Google's motivation for using LG. You also suggested the Google should follow Apples example and buy Samsung screens, yet ignored or are unaware that Apple also bought LG screens. I did bring it to your attention though.

It's oddly fine but they can bump to 6GB of ram maybe.

Samsung was the only one that handled the iPhones demand for screens lg couldn't , my thinking why Google splits between Samsung and lg guessing would be that they might be in contract with them or the used them for awhile don't want to burn there bridge with lg just yet . apple wants to badly not be dependent on Samsung but with lg making not so good displays in their phones it's hard . so to fully supply Google is not a problem for Samsung they are the biggest phone screen distributor.

i heard that apps are force closed... could it be, that the ram is to small?

I'm wondering this as well, especially since the P2 had performance issues after a while. Although those aren't necessarily RAM related but maybe they are

4GB Ram is enough. Runs smoothly.

4GB of ram is quite a lot....the issue isnt quantity.

There are memory issues, but not related to RAM. Discussion here: https://forums.androidcentral.com/g...ue-real-if-so-cant-just-fixed-via-update.html
