[QUOTE="Local Host, post: 861155"] The smartphones are limited by their CPU and GPU, more RAM won't miraculously increase performance. Having 50 apps loaded into the RAM, won't use more than 3GB (and you won't find any smartphone game using 4GB, leave alone 16GB). Not to mention the more RAM a phone has, the higher the power consumption is. Nowadays, with more memory available, the perception that free RAM is an indicator of performance is a misconception. In fact, for a smartphone it’s the opposite, loading an app from storage into memory requires a lot of processing power. Vendors will engage in a specifications war where they’ll overprovision the amount of RAM simply because it’s a selling point (which is what is happening here). [/QUOTE]
