              I mean 6gb or 8gb ram makes sense in a android phone (and I don't mean because of heavy skins like what Xiaomi uses) but 16gb? In a phone while most games that come out until this thing is obsolete, will never use that?

              I mean 144hz screen and a fast CPU make more sense here, but it is funny to see that this phone has as much ram my gaming PC still has (planning for a upgrade soon)

Or at least I don't think so, but what it will do is allow developers to start making games MORE ram intensive, which can lead to a performance increase in the future.

                      Do benchmarks reveal a real performance index by RAM?
                      I mean, is it actually beneficial having a 16GB RAM instead of 8GB in real life, using Android apps and games?

                      (Assume, I'm referring to single app/ game/ task at one time, no multitasking. Yes, truthfully I don't want to type on whatsapp in notifications, while editing a video file in background, while also playing PUBG in the foreground.)


                      Also, something that I strongly suspect, if the RAM is 16GB, will the Android software automatically expand to consume 6-8GB of RAM?

                              I think the strix version may come with SD 870
