Meanwhile Asus put 24GB RAM on their phone with the same processor . If it wouldn't have only 2 years of OS updates I'd jump boats to Asus .
For the regular people 12GB RAM maybe be sufficient , but for tech geeks like me and a lot of people it's not enough . My phone is screaming when I boot it into Windows and hit the play button on Winamp 😆 - retro stuff (I have multiple OS's on my phone) .

PeterThePanda, 8 hours agoVirtual RAM is a scam to fool people thinking that a phone ... moreIt's not that bad, A phone has to use up all the RAM first to be able to start using the virtual RAM (RAM PLUS). This is same in PCs which use paging file. So, if you open a game which needs 11.99 GB RAM, it will never use the virtual RAM.

I hate Samsung for their display issue. It is pretty much guaranteed you will have green line within 2 years time period and they will not take any responsibility's.

12 Gb for RAM is more than enough, probably even an overkill, for most people now.
Nobody is going to make a purchasing decision based on the amount of RAM. For hardware, they care more about the screen, the cameras, the battery, and the internal storage etc. Case in point: observe how many people avoided buying a Samsung phone in 2023 and 2024 simply because they had an Exynos chip inside them? That's the dealbreaker, the persuasive factor.

Because in country like that, there are a lot of options for them to choose from. In country like USA, not many option and using iPhone and Galaxy is like a status symbol.

I hope it's a prelude to Samsung and Google taking Dex/Desktop mode more seriously. I want to like Dex, but the UI waste with unoptimized apps are really hurting usability.

Bobi7x7 , 16 hours agoAnd you think 12GB + 8GB virtual is not enough ?Virtual RAM is a scam to fool people thinking that a phone has more RAM that it actually has.
Not only is it slower than the real thing, but it wears down your phone storage way faster because of repeated write cycles. That's why most experts do not recommend using Virtual RAM or RAM Plus (Samsung's term for RAM Plus) unless absolutely needed.

How to say you're tech ignorant with telling everyone that you're tech ignorant. xD
What are you going to suggest next? Download more GHz or Cores for your SoC, or download more pixels for your display? xD

I think 12GB is enough for now, but buying a flagship should last a long time and more ram is more future proofing.

Not only is it way slower than the real RAM, but it wears down your phone storage way faster. That's why it is not recommended to turn on Virtual RAM or RAM Plus (Samsung's own term for Virtual RAM).

Lol. Once again Sam-e-Sung is scamming customers again by selling the same RAM spec phone since 2021. Pretty sure it would cost them very little to give an additional 4GB to their Ultra phone.
Any phone that is over $999 that doesn't have at least 16GB RAM at this point is pretty much highway robbery at this point.

Anonymous, 15 hours ago24GB ram could use large local AI models. A quantized 7-9B model only takes up to 6GB of RAM or so, and it's roughly the same for an unquantized 3B model. There's not really a middle ground between an 8B and a 70B model that won't run well on a mobile chip, so unless that middle ground is created, it won't make sense to have more than 16GB on mobile.
