Poll: how much RAM is optimal for an Android smartphone?
Miscellaneous / / January 20, 2022
10 years ago, top smartphones had 1 GB of RAM, and it was enough for all possible tasks. However, with the development of the industry and the advent of new technologies, the amount of RAM began to grow rapidly, quickly catching up with modern laptops for home use.
Today, even Xiaomi state employees receive modules for 3-4 GB of RAM, and top-end devices are already equipped with 12 or even 16 GB. Various "paging" technologies that use internal memory for active processes can increase these volumes by several more gigabytes.
Who needs such a supply? First of all, gamers, because some three-dimensional games eat up gigabytes of RAM, and the same Genshin Impact does about 1.5 GB. Although Chrome, of course, with a bunch of open tabs can give odds to any game, taking up 2-3 GB.
If you do not take into account gaming solutions for mobile gaming, then modern flagships offer 8-12 GB of RAM. Do you think it's a lot or a little? Perhaps a smartphone will be enough for the eyes and much smaller volumes? Share your opinion in the comments.
