Why You Should Pay Attention to the RAM in Your Next Phone

We're all familiar with how RAM allows you to multitask on our phones, but it actually does so much more (and those letters next to the RAM on a spec sheet mean more than you think).
Here's why you should pay more attention to the RAM in your next phone.

I like your videos man. I generally, while watching videos on you tube just leave then in the background. But you seem to make me want to keep looking at the screen. Thanks for being engaging and informative. Warm Regards Aneesh

Can you do a video on why Apple is able to provide less RAM in phones? Basically what does the integration give them.

[@synak1538]

Pretty simple, IOS uses little of the RAM compared to Android. If an iPhone has 6 gigs of RAM, probably the OS itself uses about 3-4 gigs of it whilst an Android might have 12 gigs of RAM but the OS uses 6-7 gigs of it.

[@bigchunges2150]

Apple needs much less RAM because the software is much less needy

[@franky1800]

Their software is pretty much made with the specifications in mind, just like gaming consoles (they have less powerful hardware but could archieve big numbers because of optimization, given that they only have 1 or 2 hardwares to adapt). And creating hardware thats made "specifically" for their software is the key to get that kind of optimization. Android in the other hand has like 5 SOC makers (Qualcomm, Mediatek, Samsung, Kirin and the smallers brands) with 20+ SOC each, that OEM takes and puts whatever RAM/ROM they want, you got thousands of devices and configurations, you can't optimize at that level, only Google with Pixel is trying, but their SOC are not on par with other makers, but at least they tried.

like your videos a lot. i have a suggestion: it would be cool for the thumbnail to be related to the series, either it’s the decoder series or the real world reviews. perhaps also the title. but congrats anyway, you’re becoming one of those youtubers that i just click to see whatever you post. Keep it up! Salute from Europe

[@twent10]

Really appreciate such videos from you! Been a long time subscriber and I'll be honest, I watch your videos less frequently than i would like, but at the same time, after every video, i say to myself "This is why I love this channel, and this guy! This is the content that more people should watch, rather than the usual new gadget reviews we all end up watching even if we have no plans to buy them!"

[@Prep4hereafter]

For me RAM makes a phone what it is and you nailed it with this ram centric video, I haven't played to the end but i are coming back to chill for it.

[@finfan83]

NSAM for the win ! I remember the times when adding RAM to the PC was making a visual and time impact on its loading time, so I can totally believe that phones are going through the same process now, when they became multimedia centres on their own. Can possibly see another bottleneck in this process, the dependency on storing everything in phone's own memory, with the disappearance of extension SD card trays that is happening now. Phone clogged with data by its user wont benefit from fast operational RAM in the end. It will process everything nicely, but won't have place to store it after that.

[@T3CHGY007]

My brain just got RAMMED by all that info!😂

Nice video, I really liked the way you teach people about these complex topics in this video. it good be nice if you continue with this series explaining in detail but simple way other parts of the phone like different screen technologies, storage. it would help a lot when deciding which device to buy

[@ElectricC0mpany]

Interesting video. Its good you used the Pixels when talking about RAM. The 6a and 6 Pro have the same processor. 6a actually hits higher on some benchmarks. But with it only having 6GB RAM vs 12GB of the 6 Pro there is a huge difference in day-to-day usage. I have the 6a but the 6GB is woefully insufficient in 2022 so I'm upgrading to the 7 Pro.

[@ThePerradox]

Wham! Bam! Thank you RAM!

[@DrMS96]

Can you make a video on UFS storage!

[@TheUnlockr]

Oh maybe!

[@konstantinosbalaskonis4553]

I have a feeling this is preparing for the pixel 7 announcement.

[@utubekullanicisi]

I'm excited for LPDDR5X memory! I'm expecting the Apple M2 Pro and M2 Max processors that should launch this month to hopefully have LPDDR5X, which should increase memory bandwidth and reduce power usage for these chips by quite a bit. In smartphones maybe LP5X doesn't matter that much if the smartphone vendor doesn't make use of the increased speed with a new feature that wouldn't have been possible before (besides the power savings), but on high performance laptops and desktops pro users will make use of every last bit of memory bandwidth they can get.

[@stel9178]

you can thank samsung for releasing that ram :)

Do you think HMC will come back? With the growth of systems and data consumed, generated, and transmitted, do you think that there will be push towards higher bandwidth memory designs?

[@gusbandicoot]

how does android RAM plus factor into all this too....never know what to set that too..my s22U can add an additional 8gb RAM plus....crazy numbers

[@fuelvolts]

That's just swap file. It's much slower than actual RAM. It's just using a part of your flash storage as "RAM".
