oo Ruly oo, 24 Aug 2025With people keep questioning 4 GB RAM fit into 2025 device ... moreProbably because there's not that many competitors in this segment in the UK. Most consumers in developed market buy phones under contract, and are mostly flagships. Entry level phones are relegated as burners and/or secondary devices.
Meanwhile, in more competitive markets like developing countries, even the A06 5G has 6GB of RAM. So in those markets, Samsung will definitely release the 8GB RAM model

a... moreUh, 6gb is actually more usable for ordinary peeps than 4gb. Must be paired with UFS storage too.
My 6gb huawei tab doesn't reload the page when I switch to open email app and then go back to the website I am registering.
My mom's 4gb samsung, however, reloads the previous app sent to the background. Now imagine if I updated the software past the out of the box version it came with.

oo Ruly oo, 24 Aug 2025With people keep questioning 4 GB RAM fit into 2025 device ... moreDid you know that simply switching between two apps, or just sending a running one into the back ground, often causes them to reload or refresh on low ram phones?
Sign up for a service/website.
Website sends confirmation code to email or sms.
If code auto paste from messages or email is not supported, open the gmail or messages app.
Copy the code and go back to the app or browser used to register.
Screw you, app or webpage already reloaded and you start the process again.

Anonymous, 24 Aug 2025Used markets are now flooded with 6gb or 8gb ram phones. So... moreThat is the indication of the enermous choices presence we are currently having. And the best thing if I can be honest here is that all brands are having almost identical quality making cuatomer have never been wrong anymore to opt what model they like much. I believe you are aware of the struggle from established brands in facing the thight competition nowadays.

With people keep questioning 4 GB RAM fit into 2025 device particularly this model, how is it possible UK market accepted that? Curiousity raises. Is the bigger RAM means vulnerable to hackers? because they can play within the free available RAM? Or If the software is well developed, it may be lighter for just 4 GB RAM to handle, consequently maintaning the smooth operation. So what is exactly the purpose of higher RAM? Is it Gamers oriented? Not to exclude AI and video/photos editing certainly that have rarely been used in my opinion in a smartphone devices.

It was just speculated based off Android 15 GMS requirements letting companies put Android Go on devices with 4GB of RAM (which there were already Android Go devices released before 2025 that had 4GB or more of RAM by the way)

also, I wouldn't even dare to wish my enemy a 6GB RAM phone, let alone a 4GB one, I understand people don't need the best of the best and dont have spare money to burn but I don't want people to try out the worst of the worst instead of saving up for a phone that just fits their needs without any lag.
