Ram Plus

[Ivandré]

Just would like to know what happened to the Ram Plus feature, or was it just hype coz the competitors are doing it🤔

I heard it's coming with the update

It is part of the Android 12 One UI 4 upgrade.

Yes, its there. But didnt they say that we can activate it, coz now its not active, it just states Ram Plus, but no way to actually activate it and use it

[MJ_23 · Accepted solution]

RAM Plus extends the amount of random access memory available on the phone by using 4GB of onboard storage as virtual memory, similar to how Windows allocates some amount of disk storage for use as virtual RAM when physical memory runs out.

RAM Plus isn’t customizable. You only get 4GB of virtual memory – there’s no option to change that or turn off the functionality.

You can check if RAM Plus is available on your Galaxy device by opening the Settings app, going into the Battery and device care submenu, and tapping Memory.

So you will never know when its active, or it will never indicate when its active. Then Samsungs claim that users can activate it is false, if your statement is true

[MJ_23]

It is active when you go into Battery and device care tapping Memory and RAM Plus is indicated as part of memory.

Refer to my screenshot again posted above. RAM Plus is an automated process used when required, thus when your device RAM is running low. If your device RAM is not running low RAM Plus is not necessary but remains available when needed.

It comes part of an update and is and does not need to be activated. Samsung made no false claims.

As you can see on my screenshot I am using RAM Plus and ever since I can experience the difference when you have a lot of apps and processes running.
