5 smartphones with large RAM

Smartphones today boast more RAM than the average laptop. Why does the phone need so many operational gigabytes and what to do with them?

The amount of RAM depends on:

• system speed,
• efficiency,
• the ability to run resource-intensive applications,
• the number of simultaneously running applications,
• the number of open tabs in the browser,
• the ability to launch a video online, pause it, and return to viewing the next day without waiting for a download.

Any ultra-budget device must have 2 GB of RAM. Smartphones from the middle price category are usually endowed with 3 GB of "RAM". The flagships are equipped with at least 4GB of RAM. A special category stands out among them, models from which can boast 6 or even 8 "operational" gigabytes. These are the ones that will be discussed in our ranking of the best smartphones with large RAM.

Users in the reviews shared that they did not like the most advanced flagship from the South Korean company. This is unstable biometrics - the fingerprint scanner does not always work. The operating speed is not impressive, despite the fact that there is a large amount of RAM. Without a cover, the case strives to slip out of hand, and under heavy load, the gadget heats up noticeably.

In the reviews, they admire the screen, the best performance, the duration of work in the mode away from the outlet, the photo capabilities. Among the shortcomings, users highlighted the lack of a minijack and an adapter - a hint from OnePlus that it's time to switch to wireless headphones. They also complain about the heavy weight (206 grams), the lack of wireless charging and official water protection.
