    What is the point of having all this ram when the Galaxy S6 can't even handle multitasking correctly? lol It got better with the Note 5, but still come on now Samsung. In my opinion it's better to optimize than just keep adding more and more ram.. just saying. The Iphone 6 has 1GB of ram, and while it's not multitasking king it still handles better than the GS6...

      Samsung phones with 4GB RAM are using more RAM then my desktop computer. My 16GB desktop computer running Window 8.1 only uses 2-3GB browsing the internet

        Geeze this is missing a lot of context. It's a 12Gb (That's Gigabit) die. In GigaBYTES, that's 1.5GB.

        A high-end smartphone SoC has four memory dies. So 1.5GB x 4 = 6GB phones.

                  AnonD-77443, 09 Sep 2015Given they are reducing internal storage and increasing RAM... moreyou're right... that, was indeed, a very poor decision on the part of Samsung the king, given the very fact that external memory were not available due to the inclusion of the UFS 2.0...

                              Samsung Galaxy Note 6 with 6GB of RAM or gtfo. My body is ready for the increased multi tasking of 1 more app open for the extra 2 GB over the Samsung Galaxy Note 5

                                Rather make your devices bulletproof, capable of invisibility and give free moon tickets at launch. I put my hard earned money on s6 and I am not proud.

                                  Vchamp2k, 09 Sep 2015I did not say fridge and washing machines need 6 gb of ram.... morestill 6GB is too high considering even 8GB is more than enough for the vast amount of the laptop games ;-)

                                    AnonD-364786, 09 Sep 2015don't think fridges and washing machines need 6GB of RAM ;-)I did not say fridge and washing machines need 6 gb of ram. How about your next phone can manage/control all your devices at home? Then obviously your next phone need more than 3gb of ram. Samsung is investing heavily on smart home.

                                        Anonymous, 09 Sep 2015But... why? This is more RAM than my laptop. And my laptop ... moreThink out of the box. 6gb is pretty low for supercomputing. Imagine how the world run in the next two years. By that time, we have 5G network (Verizon announced plan for next year) which can connect every devices using IOT(internet of things). Standard smartwatch have minimum requirement to be connected. Gear S2 for example, only compatible with smartphone that have 1.5gb ram and above. Future devices might have higher requirement. It also to support 4K display and video content. Samsung might introduce 8K video recording capability. Rumors has it Galaxy S7 'might' come with holographic ability-not too soon I think. With that, Samsung introduce graphene-coated silicone battery which last 2 times longer than battery we have today. So, why not 6gb ram?
