Do you want to know and check if your Samsung Galaxy device has RAM Plus? In this article, we’ll show you how to access Samsung RAM Plus.
Meanwhile, RAM is one of the most critical components of a smartphone, and manufacturers are now increasing its capacity through software upgrades. Following in the footsteps of other Chinese OEMs, Samsung has introduced RAM Plus, a virtual memory expansion function.
However, the Korean tech behemoth has quietly released the virtual RAM extension capability, which adds up to 4GB of storage capacity to the smartphone. It should be mentioned that the Galaxy A52s gained the Samsung RAM Plus feature, as well as a new firmware update that allows for RAM extension.
What is RAM Plus?
Last year, as part of software upgrades, Samsung added the RAM Plus function to select devices. These devices have a function that allows users to increase their accessible memory by 4GB. Samsung’s RAM Plus function, like comparable services from other smartphone makers that allow users to “extend” their available RAM, uses unused, free storage on a smartphone as virtual memory for smartphone users who need to run programs that demand more resources.
It is worth mentioning, however, that, unlike Microsoft Windows, Android is built to optimize memory utilization by prioritizing resources for various programs. When a running program requires additional memory, Android will usually expel other background applications and services from memory to keep the phone working smoothly. Similarly, while Samsung did not allow customers to manage the RAM Plus function prior to One UI 4.1, the screenshot posted by SamMobile implies that users may still be unable to disable the feature, even on the most recent One UI 4.1 version.
