Android phones have exceeded 20G of RAM! How much RAM is enough?

How much running memory is enough? Today, the editor will discuss with you the issue of the size of mobile phone running memory.

When it comes to the running memory of Android phones, I believe that people who know mobile phones will immediately think of this sentence: "The startup memory is almost half." This is not a joke. This sentence applies to most Android phones with running memory below 8GB. What is the running memory that is almost half gone used for?

Due to the special Android environment in China, various mobile phone manufacturers have deeply customized the Android system and added many functions that native Android does not have. The relative memory usage has also increased greatly, and almost the half that is missing is occupied by the system and system-related services. After hearing this question, there is no need to consider whether 4G and below running memory is sufficient. It will definitely not be very comfortable to use in 2021. 6G running memory is still okay to use now. You can open several applications at the same time in the background of the system and run online games such as Honor of Kings smoothly. If you open more, the system may kill the background.

8G RAM has more space, and can run some applications on the basis of 6G RAM. The system is less likely to kill background applications, making it more comfortable to use and the most economical choice. A larger RAM will definitely provide a better experience, but the price of such a phone will also be higher.

Recently, a netizen broke the news that a well-known manufacturer will release a new phone. The biggest feature of this phone is that it has 20GB of running memory, which made many netizens happy. According to the exposed information, it is not a real 20G running memory, but it uses memory fusion technology. The actual running memory of the phone is still 18GB, but it has been expanded by 2GB of running memory through memory fusion technology, so that it can have 20GB of running memory.

In recent years, the technology of Android phones has been updated too quickly. In such a short period of time, the configuration of mobile phones has been greatly improved. The memory, processor, screen, battery life, etc. have all been greatly upgraded. The running memory upgrade and the latest processor have also greatly improved the running speed of mobile phones. The era of frequent freezes is over.

Why does the Apple mobile phone 4G running memory still run smoothly?

Unlike Android phones, the running memory of iPhone has never been large. Even the current iPhone 12 only has 4G running memory, and it is very smooth and has a long service life. It can be used for at least three years without lag. In fact, this is related to the special mechanism of Apple phones. The running memory of Apple phones is not the focus, but the mobile phone processor and system determine whether the iPhone is smooth.

Apple's A series processors have always been in a leading position among many mobile phone processors under the same process, especially the latest A14 processor, which is even more powerful than Qualcomm Snapdragon 888. This is part of the reason why the iPhone does not lag. The second is the IOS system. Unlike the Android system, the IOS system is a closed-source system with a special system mechanism that can greatly improve the running speed of the phone and reduce cache garbage. Moreover, the system is closed-source and more secure. So even though the iPhone 12 still has 4GB of running memory, the overall fluency is stronger than Android's high-end flagship.

In general, for Android phones, 6G or 8G of RAM is the most suitable. For Apple phones, you don’t have to worry about memory issues. How much memory do you have in your phone? Is it enough?
