Ram in phones?
Ram in phones?
I don’t get why Android phones have so much ram.
They often have more ram than my wife’s MacBook and the same or my as my desktop.
How much ram is needed if you’re not gaming or video editing?
In my case, it’s a very occasional picture or video recorded and then just social media apps and web. Do I need to get a phone with 12gb? Or is that just thrown in there for marketing?

My Xiaomi 12 has 8GB. Those bastards close any 3rd open app in the background. Sometimes even the second back in line when switching apps. MIUI is pure shit.
Yeah but that's not a ram quantity issue
No. 8 is far more than enough. It is stupid memory management.
Yeah I got a redmi note 12. Worst mistake of my life. MIUI is hot garbage. I literally went beack to my 5 year old OnePlus6 and installed Lineage OS on it. Even with a bad battery it still runs better than that piece of crap. At least it was not that expensive.
I'm happy with my purchase, I always buy a flagship and Xiaomi is actually the first for me that I bought the second time from the same manufacturer. MIUI is crap, but I always root, so it makes it bearable.
I thought about just installing a different distro on it but I need my banking apps to work sadly.
Debloat powerkeeper on MIUI, thank me later, or better yet, install a custom ROM based on AOSP or CAF (if available).
