High ram usage in samsung phones

[Hunter55]

I have 6gb ram and you can see how much can i use 🥲😑😑

Alots of unnecessary thing is running is background.

And heating up my mobile.

Your phone is running perfectly fine. It is a smartphone and it has to keep apps and associated services running to remain smart.

2GB out of 6GB available when all apps are closed is not normal 😕 Shyamsung OS takes the same ram space as Windows 10 on PC. And yes back side of phones becomes warm when watching videos on WiFi + Bluetooth headset with 30-50% brightness.

That is normal. Clearing RAM will heat up the phone even more because the phone will have to do more work everytime you launch an app.

I have a 12 GB phone and the free Ram on my phone is also just about 2 GB most of the time.

[seemslikeaPapita]

what the...?! Why are phones with 12GB ram being made? A app would consume power for staying stored in the ram, right?

For ex: On my phone Firefox is always taking up 250-300mb ram and I hardly open it once a day.

[TheMystic]

They are made to keep more applications in ram. Why else would you need a higher ram phone?

More applications in RAM doesn't mean more power consumption.

Don't worry about how much Ram is free. The system will take care of that. Unused resource is wasted resource.

As long as it's running lag-free and is keeping needed apps in the background, you don't need to worry. Anyway, what are you planning to do with that extra ram?
