S9 plus stating 5GB of ram instead of 6GB

[thomasanderson]

Everytime I use a device info app such as AIDA64 it states that my S9 plus only has 5GB of ram instead of 6GB. Is this just my device or does anyone else get the same reading? I see nothing online about this, so Im posting in as many forums as possible to get an answer before my 14 days is up.

The system reserves around 1 GB of RAM. You are seeing what the rest of the phone has to use.

Most is allocated for gpu.

Go to Settings->Device Manager and then tap on Memory. That will have the right information always and you will see how much RAM is used off of 6GB and the amount available to clean.

Like storage, you will never have all the stated space of RAM. Even top of the line PCs need to reserve RAM for the OS.

I also noticed this on my S9+ Snapdragon 5000.9 MB total with abiut 1970 MB available.
I did the smart tutor with a samsung and they me to use there system device info which says 6GB of course
i showed them that cou z and a benchmark app is showing the 5GB and theu said theu were not comment on non official samsung?apps but we all know cpu z is well repped.
any way i know you always dont get the full amount stated but this is a full 1GB less .i feel cheated in a way cuz they for sure mist kniw this.
one last note in a video i seen a S9+.having 5790GB of Ram shown by cpu z.
anyone have any ideas or more details on whats the deal.

The rest up to 6gb is reserved for the os. See the previous posts
