      Automatically no interest in a phone that comes with such a cheap trick.

      The phone has 6 or 8gb ram which is plenty for non gamers, and most people getting a52s are not gaming to a level they need more.

      And even if they game, "download ram" doesn't make much sense on ANY BRAND phone.

However, a swap file is meant to be considered as RAM, which means frequent writes. Use your storage as RAM and it won't last nearly as long as a mostly read-only device would. If you only read to it, it could very well last forever. I do not expect smartphones to pack high endurance NAND, nor are OEMs supposed to put those in to begin with. Smartphone NAND is not of the same caliber as PC NAND.

                          No it doesn't. It gets better software handling! Not more ram.

                          Amateurs.

                            2020, the year when you could actually download more ram. What a era.

                                    I remember that, lol. Tried it on my J3 many moons ago. At least I have 2gb ram and have kept 7. tbh I need an upgrade.

                                      Dudenoway, 11 Sep 2021Btw u can jus tignore the option tooSo the update won't just automatically allocate my storage to VRAM?
