        comeon samsung its flagship phone 6gb of ram is must for android. samsung has already selling phones like c9 pro with 6gb ram .

          4 GB provides a perfect balance allowing you to do heavier tasks on a phone whilst also having some extra juice. This is enough for the majority of people, yet I agree that such a strong company shall please all of their users. Some extra GB may not be that much useful but in flagship war this provides an advantage.

                  we all know it doesnt cost much to add 2GB here
                  Samsung is not OnePlus, they make tons when selling phones

                  God I just dont understand this company sometimes

                      Fusion, 17 Mar 2017Never enough Ramz for to make Android smooth yo!! I know you're trolling but that's not how android works. Android can work with as little as 1GB but it doesn't matter. The more you get it to use the faster it gets, eventually it turns to a point that it is almost instant. That's because of ram caching.

                      So android starts slow, but once you give it recourses it gets the fastest thing ever. For example despite then slower storage and cpu OnePlus 3T can feel almost as fast as an iPhone because of the amount of ram. The whole thing eventually turns into a ramdisk and everything runs record fast.

                                        Is this the same Sh*tsung that gave China a 6GB version of Note7? Or the same Sh*tsung that released the Note 5 to everyone else barring Europe???

                                        The evidence is there you work it out! But I tell you something if we in the UK get discriminated by Sh*tsung again I won't be buying the S8 and will go to its competitors!!!
