Some not-even-so-new phones have 24! Insane shit, I know… 😅
What's even more confusing, in most cases all this goodness is used to render glorified web apps 😩

The last time I checked that a phone has 24GB of RAM, half of that came from the SSD 😅

That said, my phone does have 12GB of LPDDR5X. It's actually very good on paper but the OS holds it back 😭

For real? Even in case with this behemoth it's all marketing?! 😲

They just allocate a swap partition on a phone and claim it's RAM?!
I'm pretty sure I've seen others, something by Xiaomi from 2023, but with that phone it might very well be the case because it was a special edition of some model only available in Chinese markets, basically an overpowered midranger.

Special editions tend to go overboard so I don't doubt that it's true. With that said, most Chinese companies love to include swap into their RAM advertising, calling it real RAM.

Mine is a POCO X6 Pro for reference. Thankfully all this 12GB is real RAM 😅

@muelsyse
I have Poco X3 Pro and its 8 Gb is still plenty for me, newer Poco phones lack the 3.5 mm jack and I really like my Sennheiser Momentum wired headphones. Something like Redmi Note 13 Pro would be nice, but on the other hand, like I said, I'm never using even the resources of the phone I have. My phone has 256 built-in storage and with 200 Gb SD card it's pretty close to 512 Gb models — so even the storage space isn't a problem, no point in upgrading really 😁
