Virtual RAM, or virtual memory, can be beneficial for Mobiles but it also has some drawbacks.
Benefits

Virtual RAM can help mobile run larger programs and handle more processes than physical RAM alone. It can also improve system performance, multitasking, and memory management.
Drawbacks

Virtual RAM is slower than RAM, and continuously switching between the two can slow down the Mobile.This can lead to a phenomenon called "thrashing". Overusing virtual RAM can also inhibit application-level processing. On smartphones, virtual RAM can also shorten the life of the internal storage.

Every time I buy a New phone or Reset my existing phone, one of the things I do first is 'Turn off Virtual RAM / RAM PLUS '... It's of NO use (As I have tested).

You should also note that It uses your storage as RAM means you will get less storage space (depending on what you selected 2GB/4GB/6GB/8GB etc)... (READ SCREENSHOT)1723192985781.jpg
