man thanks for this video. you are literally the only person on Youtube doing this comparison. everyone is so focusses on the 12gb model.

[julieeagle]

This basically proves that the difference between the 8gb and 12gb is non-existent

[mortenhyvejle]

Didn't notice a big difference... specific if you think about the price and that you didn't touch the screens at the same time (that would almost be impossible)...that o.2 millisecond of lag could have been from your touch input in many cases.

There is absolutely no performance improvement with 12gb over 8gb. It's a con to get you to spend more. If you have 10s of apps open in the background then the 12 will perform better. But everyday stuff you will not see a difference as there isn't one.

Guys the phones are optimized around 8gb of ram. The extra ram literally sits there and just pike a conp extra ram that sits can actually slow things down not speed things up. At the moment the 12gb is having more issues with freezing or locking then the 8gb believe it or not at the moment. Still rare on either device tbh. Its also why on geekbench the 8gb scored higher 200 extra on multi core because again to much ram sitting not being used actually slows thinga down! Dont buy the 12gb just for the extra storage of 512 unless you really reallt meed the extra space. Please dont listen to the sales pitch or anybody on youtube telling you to get something else just for the sake of it. Most dont understand optimization or how ram works and why the extra will never ever do anything for you on these phones. You wont find one thing that it does better with the extra again it can actually hinder its performance. Which is why most are starting to nor even offer 12gb because it doesnt add value. See the thing samsung and others dont tell you is the 12gb is actually a slightly slower speed of ram while the 8gb is faster which is also why you wont see the difference and if anything get lower scores from the 12gb. I mean come on they offer an extra 4gb of ram they arent going to give you faster ram while they are at it for only 150 more lol.

I can't believe I'm watching this on my s22 ultra...I finally made it

This now might not a big difference at all, but it could be beneficial in the future to have more.

12GB is perhaps best if you plan on keeping it for years and years, most people have it for 2 years on contract and return it and get the latest and greatest.

I ordered a 1TB variant yesterday and will get it today to replace my iP13 pro max 512gb version.
I don't heavy multitask or use the double app function I never did on older phones.
Just some youtube, mails, whatsapp and spotify on the go in the car (Audi A6 from 2014 so no Apple car play or Google stuff on it yet).

I went for the 8GB, it arrived today at my parents. Need to collect it. Couldn't justify the extra cash for 4gb more of Ram that I assumed wouldn't be noticeable, yeah the extra storage is good but I used cloud storage anyways so it's become less important for me to have loads of built in storage.

[byronperazaa]

Tengo el de 8gb de ram. Acá en Costa Rica. Y la verdad va muy bien. He tenido antes smartphones con 12 de ram y no siento ninguna diferencia

[GammaScorpio]

I had the S22 ultra and I always run the same apps.
So got the S23 ultra and I forgot about the Ram difference..
Well, I would get bunch of apps closed and yes, for basic use 8GB is fine, but when you start using more apps in the background you notice the difference.
So, I returned the 8GB version for the 12GB and boy, there is a difference.
Also, for the fan boys, ram plus is not actual memory, it is just Linux virtual cache, which runs at the storage speed.
If you own a phone, look how much ran you normally use, note Samsung has lot of services that eat your ram.
I am disappointed that the basic S22 ultra had the 12GB and now you have to get the 512GB version for it. When I returned the manager from Bestbuy said I was the fourth person returning the S23 ultra. But no one will say that in public.

I bought s23 ultra 8gb, I'm glad I did :)

[andrewa]

Am i the only one that noticed the photos in the 256gb? That means the 256 was used a while and the 512 was new out of box. Its well known that these phones learn your usage patterns and adjust battery life and there for performance.

Test quality is in question

[cheatoff]

I've always wondered why phones with more RAM memory use 60% more memory right after a phone reset. Same thing is with PC. If you have 16gb windows maybe will be use 6gb but I you have 32gb is going up to 12gb.

[TheMegaxxD]

I purchased both, and yes, there is a huge difference in day to day use. The applications last longer in the version with more ram, the 8GB version tends to close applications, get stuck and heat up. In fact, I'm surprised no one talks about this and allows themselves to be scammed like that.

[willwroten]

I went with the 512gb 12ram just for the memory. It comes with the 512gb and 1tb. People don't realize how much 4k video and switching to the 200mp camera will eat up space

[thecrowdfunddeepdive]

For this to be a real comparison you would have to take ram usage past 8gb on both models. Of course they perform identical at under 8gb ram usage.

[TodoNFamilia]

Lo valioso acá es la cantidad de memoria que vas a almacenar si te pasaras de los 256gb si necesitas los 12gb a 512gb por lo demás sin cuidado

damn, I just bought the s23 ultra 8gb for the same price as the 12gb
I didn't even know that the 8gb version exist, so I didn't notice that
