It actually common on Linux world. Android uses Linux kernel which is usually provided by manufacturers. "Extended RAM" just uses the ZRAM that generates a single swap file loaded on a specific system directory. Now, when it comes to support, it really depends on the manufacturers. And "Extended RAM" defeats the purpose for budget to mid tier phones, and you we're right that it will consumes more battery & storage, as the chipset or the CPU would bottleneck the system if pushing too hard on the "Extended RAM" capacity, so i recommend disabling it or set it into minimum (2GB or 4GB)
I've used 12 GB of extended RAM on One Plus Phone, and trust me it does work and you instantly feel the difference once the phone restarts with the extended RAM. However, i turned it off because of excessive battery consumption- It was too much! My battery was getting drained to 20% within 6-7 hours of moderate usage!
Supposedly, Virtual RAM is more beneficial for devices with smaller amounts of RAM. (4GB or lower) But on devices with 6GB/8GB of RAM or higher, it's useless. And in some cases, actually IMPEDES performance. This mainly applies to Samsung phones/tablets. RAM Plus is somewhat polarizing for a lot of people who have one, the other, or both. Some say it's actually pretty useful, while others say it makes everything run slower than if it wasn't on.
I got a new phone yesterday as my black view a 100 wasn't really doing the trick for me so i bought a phone on Amazon for £85 and it came with 6gb of ram and ram expansion of 12gb so 18gb in total so i added all my stiff storage space is 128gb when was done with everything i went max and did the 12gb ram improvement this phone is hella fast i had 20 tabs open to check it didn't slow down at all so it is really working i still have 50% storage so ive got all my music photos so i think it actually works definitely recommend
I have 8gb ram..but whenever I open recent tabs it always showed as 1.8Gb remaining even though I had minimal RUclips or WhatsApp..system always used 5 to 6GB...do I turn virtual on?
Got the Moto edge 50 ultra and it already has 16gb ram. So I'm going to test the 16gb ram boost. See how it hurts the battery if at all or makes it even faster.
While it may improve multitasking, singletasking apps or games that see much more ram available to them now and actually start using it over the actual ram limit, grind to a horrible halt with extended ram enabled, so your entire phone freezes over and you need to hard reboot it. Like when you have 4GB(actual)+4GB(extended) RAM and some game decides to start using 6GB RAM, it's game over, while with just having 4GB available, it would run normally.
I dunno man, I started playing Zenless Zone Zero with my 8gb S23U, which requires a minimum of 8gb of RAM. I was running into problems where things in the background kept closing on me and trying to restart (such as Samsung Health and even One UI Launcher would close) and the phone would crash back to home and have to restart everything. I re-enable RAM Plus at 2gb, and everything has been butter smooth since. My stuff stays open in the background, and game performance has improved with no more stuttering. Take from that what you will, but I'm taking it as a win.
Back in the day like windows xp pa. Maliliit lang ang mga ram same sa pc na pede mo ipakain ung portion ng hdd mo para mas mabilis mag load ung mga apps. Siguro ok lang yan pag sobrang dogshit ng phone mo. Pero if malaki na ram at maganda proc ng phone feeling ko wala na masyadong effect ito. Kaya sa mga low end mo lang siya makikita.
Before, Miguel's looks don't match the way he speaks, even his movements looks forced or awkward. Hence, he sounded and felt a bit boring to watch. But now, I can see a big improvement. He looks great and the looks & voice match his movements well and don't look as forced and awkward anymore. Yey.
Yes, it is called memory swapping (in Linux) or paging (in Windows). The technology was invented in 60s and today is used by the OS by default. In other words: pc ram memory is already extended without physical upgrade.
This future released i think May 2014 with 3rd apps on root devices for Samsung, LG phones and tested by me... Maked many times benchs with Antutu and Geekbench mobile app the POCO X5 Pro 5G on last dates with stock memory 8gb to expand +2 +4 +5gb All results is bad except 2-3 test. With stock ram working better! If u have phone with 6gb DON'T TOUCH to expand VRAM!
I bought a cheap phone with 3GB RAM and a promise of additional 3GB extended RAM. The heck. This technology is nothing but a gimmick. A scam! Virtual RAM dont work!
Bro i have added 4gb ram but i feel no difference my phone has 6 gb ram and when i m calling and playing game like codm or dead by daylight mobile my phone gets lag and after 5 minutes it closes other apps 4 gb ram feels no difference to me i tried to see my usage of ram between i m in game and i saw that it's using 89 % what do you guys thing about virtual ram tell me under this comment 😂

Is it okay if turn it on and set it to 4gb? My default ram is 4gb will it improve the performance of my phone?
@@EuanYounglVIt's pretty much worthless. Pretty sure it's a way to make customers to believe the device is better than it actually is.
@@EuanYounglVIf you still have sufficient storage you may give it a try.

Thank you for the info. I have a Redmi Note 11 pro + 5G with 8 gb ram and extension of 5 virtual ram.
so did you turn it off?
@@swaxwa98 I am using the extra 5 virtual ram.
@@eldave9261 do you experience some issues?
@@eldave9261 you can turn it off since you already have 8GB of RAM.
This is correct but You also need faster storage for better performance. i.e. UFS 3.1 storage Virtual ram Would Be Faster than UFS 3.0 Virtual ram. ✌️
Correct sir!
@@yugatech so it's a Big yes if ur storage is UFS 4.0

others say that it's better to turn off this function for gaming
it's better to disable it if you have 6 or 8gb of ram
U are absolutely right - YES! especially if u have 6gb ram!

i think ram expansion does work too now I'm confused lol@@mikehill6099
Excuse me tell me that extending ram can help device for gaming or not does it hurt phone and heating

Awesome explanation. Thank you ❤
Should I turn on virtual Ram or off
Turn it off
only if your phone has 6/8 ram os plus(native ram)

Can personal computers 🤔 also be extended without physical upgrade?
I used to do that on Win Xp by converting disk space or even flash drives.

Does it like fully reset the phone??

My eyes just love him 😅😅😅😅
available for redmi a1
We could just download more RAM. Look it up! 🤫
Don't connect to wifi networks.. they ruin your phone so you'll go off and purchase another
What? Plz explain.
My tab has 4gb plus 3gb Ram it helps though

Is it?
What model?

It doesn't make your phone faster and only allows you to run heavier apps, but like I said it won't make it faster.
What the phone called??? So we can identify it.... Not about how bad the smartphone is....

actually it's just a hype. marketing strategy to a better selling point. there's always a pros and cons to this.
it's a scam feature.
very helpful
I'm using a Redmagic 8pro wit 16 gigs of ram and 10 gigs of extended ram
Pogieeee sige naaah

Extend ram don't need
Useless for me
