4gb ram : for average users
6gb ram : for heavy users
8gb ram : for those who have nothing else to do in their life
10gb ram : for those who just wanna tell others that their smartphones have 10gb ram

All of it. That's how much.
No screen. No buttons. No headphone jack. No battery. No CPU. No radio.
Just ram.

It doesn't matter how much ram you need in 2019, it matters how much ram you need in 2022, because most people are keeping their phones for 3 years now.

Chrome wins again... How much ram do you need?

"The idea that my smartphone would need more RAM than my laptop or desktop is ridiculous"👍🏽

Putting 10GB RAM on OnePlus 6T MCLAREN edition then oxygen OS clearing background apps to save battery
What's the advantage of more RAM when you kill background apps to save battery

[reanetsemoleleki]

Chrome probably needs at least 500mb just to track you.

IMAGINE APPLE RELEASE 12GB RAM PHONE .

PRICE COST A MANSION

More than 8 GB isn't silly. Incase of Note 9, it has Dex (Desktop) Mode which requires more RAM. There it is very useful.

Obviously the answer is over 90000.

People also need 32 cameras, glass everything -including glass charger + glass cable, and a price tag that will put generations of your family in debt.

4KB of RAM is enough to land on the moon, so...😂

[okbro]

4gb ram=recommended for very well performance
6gb ram =heavy user
8 gb ram=dude just buy a PC
10 gb ram =weird flex but ok

[chiefdenis]

Phone: how much ram do you need?
Android: yes

[stevengleave]

12gb here! Yet I close all apps when in not using them. OCD

[sujayanimneth]

Putting 8GB+ RAM
OXYGEN OS Clearing background apps to save battery
Then what's the advantage of more RAM
- ONEPLUS

My phone has 4GB ram and I have never faced any problems.

The case for 8GB and more is to use it in desktop mode. Hence why Samsung is going with 8 & 12GB on the Galaxy Note 10. DeX is increasingly taking over my use of PC, as it runs full Linux, GIMP, MS Office, and video editing. And once I'm done, I just unplug and boom it's in my pocket. Though Samsung does participate in specs wars, so there's that as well.
