Is 6GB of RAM enough for 4K video editing on MIUI? - Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Questions & Ans

Hi guys,
I sold my Zenfone 6 (6GB of RAM) and want to buy Poco F2 Pro. Is 6GB of RAM enough for MIUI?
Zenfone 6 was ok with 6GB of ram but their ROM is much more closer to stock Android.
I could buy version with 8GB of RAM for 55 euros extra. What do you think?
Thank you very much!

I game a lot and multitask....i ha e yet to experience any issue with 6gh...but if i could come back i would buy the 8gb..just for the sake to have more...in real life you will not need it... But for future...8gb will be safe. Depends how long time you wanna keep it...6-12months? 6gb will defo do.

Thank you. Yes I Had Zenfone 6 for 8 months, before that I had XZ2 for 12 months so i am probably shortening the period The thing is I used to edit 4K edit video on Zenfone 6 in VLLO app and it worked just so so. So im a bit afraid 6gb would not have to be enough with next version of MIUI or VLLO app.

Even 4 GB is fine. I don't get why smartphones need so much RAM since most people don't use them for heavy multitasking

4GB for 4K video editing? Really?
I should probably change the title, sorry

Oh now I understand. I can't really answer that question. I would say the more you have, the better. But I 'd rather use a PC for video editting.

Look .... You will have no issues with 6gb and 865.... But again.. if you have spare 55e spend it on 8gb ram...
I repeat... If i could turn back i would buy 8gb... 55e is nothing...and then yku have piece of mind that you have the best possible option...and 128gb is not enough.. 8gb 256 is way to go for 55e....if you can afford it

@Evzzza
Hey
6GB is LPDDR4X RAM
8GB is LPDDR5
antutu 568976 and 589986 respectively
But please guys, consider keeping your phones longer... your kids will thank you later! (and you could even get a PC and a screen with your saved money, cause editing 4k vidz on a 6,6" 1080p screen... )
Cheers!

RAM doesn't affect performance.
Be 100℅ sure of that. Android ram management is absolutely not like windows OS for example.
On android the os targets the ram needs at what u're doin' actually unlike windows which provides full ressources to all the programs u're running to.
The SoC is the mandatory key. And damn u'll got a 865 !! Even with 4gb of ram 4k editing could be possible no doubts :laugh:
Whatever variant u pick u'll never run out

Please, it's NOT the same type of RAM.
It should affect performance (not in a HUGE way indeed), hence the different benchmark score.
("The SoC" 865, you probably mean the CPU?)

i don't even know why i'm responding, but hey...
why would you think i wanna FOOL you, BRO?
the cpu is part of the soc, SO is the ram... even on wikipedia you might get that concept....
the benchmarks are from Antutu, as quoted... get both phones and run your owns if you fancy it
plus, as you know, it is NOT the same type of memory.
AGAIN, the difference is certainly imperceptible, but there IS one.
Does it worth the extra bucks? THAT would be the question... @Evzzza keep in mind you double the storage as well
@kkosnuss, if we follow you, all things being equal, an android system with 2GB of RAM and the same config with 12GB of RAM will deliver the same performances?
...get yourself a break ^^

Opinions On 1gb Ram Performance in Android?

So how yall liking 1gb of ram on your android devices? I wanna hear some opinions from you guys plus this is an interesting topic lol. I own an Acer Iconia A100. It has 1gb of Ram but 512mb is what's recognized in the OS. I personally think 1gb is fine for a tablet but I would love more lol as sometimes my background tasks get killed for no reason. And btw 512mb of ram is just horrible on android (I own a galaxy s n man ram is such a down side on that phone). So tell me ur opinions
P.S this thread is intended for people who have devices with 1gb ram. But your more than welcomed to post opinions if your device has less or more ram
Love it. Not really to much more to say.
Device - Razr.
On phones it's more than enough but tablets should have 2gb.

My gaming rig has 32GB of RAM (it was a sale, 4x8GB, I couldn't resist), which is total overkill.
But I can keep like 10 million programs open.. amazing.

Thread moved to Q&A due to it being a question. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.

I own an Iconia A100 and it does in fact have 1GB of RAM, 512MB of it is used for the tegra graphics. My Nexus S has 512MB of RAM and it runs I've Cream Sandwich perfectly.
More RAM is always nice but thanks to Android being based on the great Linux, RAM goes further than you'd think.

Hi guys
I've a Galaxy Note whit 1gb of Ram, and for me is quite ok, but ram is never enough
512mb used for graphics is retarded in my opinion. The tegra gpu is super weak.

Well as long as your processor is fast enough.
I think the trick is to make a lighter and less demanding OS and not to play catch up with the ram and CPU speeds. Eventually a phone will be 10core, 10 gig ram etc lol I definitely don't think that is the way to go
Agreed, its comparable to the O.S. and what is running. You could have 2 gigs but have a hog of an O.S. and it will seem sluggish.

True lol but the real problem here is that the ram is shared all the time which means you have less accesable ram. For example my tablet has 1gb of ram but only 512mb is recognized cuz the rest is reserved for the gpu.

RAM: is 1GB still enough?

Hello,
I'm thinking about buying a new phone and I want it to last some time without lags.
After some research, I realized that most phones on the market have 1GB RAM. Even the new Moto G, considered one of the best phones below 200€, has 1GB RAM.
Do you think that 1GB is enough to run smoothly the upcoming Android L with a decent amount of multitasking (Facebook, Tapatalk, Phone, Messaging...) and with minimum lag? How long do you think that this amount of RAM is going to be enough?
Hello Duarteman.. Are you the one from Redondo?

Hello bcuraman, I'm sorry but I don't know what you meant. I don't know what/where is Redondo...
That's fine.I just thought you were someone that I know.
About your question: it depends on what you're planning to use it for.if its for heavy usage and apps,I would say that 1gb won't be enough. I'm now on Oppo Find 7,and my previous phone was a SGS3, amazing phone but with only 1gb of ram.. It didn't lag that much,but it was noticeable unresponsive with some heavy apps...
If you're one of those people who just intend to use phone,messaging and Facebook,then 1gb is enough... Android L might be a lighter system but that's just the OS.. The apps is what makes the difference...How long the 1gb of ram lasts will depend on the ammount of apps you'd have open and how you feel with the phone itself..
i think 1 GB ram not enough, i have my S890 with 1 GB ram, it had litte lag with JB 4.2 .

It depends on the phone. Moto G? Yeah, 1GB is enough, because it runs (nearly) stock Android. A phone with a heavy ROM like a Samsung with TouchWiz? 1GB is barely adequate, and you'll see lag.
If you've got 200€ to spend, look at a Nexus 4. 2GB RAM and the processor is still very capable. Especially running stock Android or any custom ROM you can find. No LTE in Europe though, but 42.2Mb/s HSPA+ is still pretty fast.
1 GB RAM is very common now
Depends on what you will use your phone for. 1GB will let you easily do the day to day tasks.

I'm looking for a phone with Pure Android but that is not a very important issue. For example, if I buy a Samsung I can change the Stock ROM by a clean AOSP one. The essential thing here is the Hardware. Is 1GB enough for a fluent experience doing the main tasks (Fb, phone, sms, ...) for a few years?
The Nexus 4 is one of the phones I'm thinking about. The only thing that I don't like in it is the camera, it's weak. Other phones I'm thinking about are the HTC One M7 (unfortunately they are still a bit expensive) and the Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE (comes with a Quad Core and 2GB RAM). Other phones like the Moto G seem to be a nice deal and I can buy it new for less than 200€ but I'm really afraid that the (lack of) RAM.

[Q] 2gb RAM vs 3gb and future development

Hi all,
looking for a nice smartphone that sports a big battery life, I've always had 3GB of RAM as a second must. Now I've got my eye on a phone that comes in 2GB and 3GB version. I've read on this forum in a couple of older posts that 2GB should be more than enough (normal use) and that 3GB is future proofing or for heavy multi taskers.
Is this still true? Or is 3GB RAM the best buy these days? What is more RAM good for? Is 2GB of RAM enough with the new Lollipop version? Will 2GB be enough in one years time?
Hope someone can shed some recent light on this subject!
Sewrizer said:
Could you be more specific? RAM usage depends on ROM: vanilla android takes a small amount, therefore 2GB should be enough. Touchwiz, on the other hand takes a lot more ( Note 3 SM-N9005 uses 2,1GB out of 2,75). This is just a guideline, of course, but I am sure Samsung, LG and HTC will make their heavy theming and bloating even heavier.

I will try! atm I am looking at the HUAWEI Mate 7 as a possible new phone. Massive battery, slim bezels! In my country the 2GB version is standard, the 3GB version will be a lot more difficult to purchase ( and of course, it is more expensive).
That is why I wonder if 2GB is enough on a phone that I will most likely use in 2014 and 2015. Can they run the latest android versions that will be coming up, and most apps without problems? Or if 3GB already is the standard and I shouldn't settle for a phone that has less?
I know it is a very general question, but I hope I've given enough information for a good answer. :good:
P.s.: I think this question should have been posted in Q&A section.

If it does, my appologies, and I would not mind anyone moving it.
Thanks for your opinion! It keeps the Mate 7 at the top of my list atm
Yeah you should def go for the mate 7, its a good phone and i have my eyes on it also

12GB RAM ???

For my usage even 6GB ram in my S9+ is enough, so the 8GB version of OP7 Pro should be more than enough. The question is: is 12GB RAM going to be FASTER than the 8GB in any way when only using ONE app\benchmark\game at a time?? Cus I want the FASTEST.
As far as I know about how PCs work, more Ram only helps if you are using it... but then why did OP ''leak'' the cpu benchmark from the 12GB variant? https://www.gizmochina.com/2019/05/...isting-confirms-12-gb-ram-and-snapdragon-855/

You already know the answer.
By the time you need 12 gigs- you will probably become some 3 years older from now -- when a different SoC, GPU and the OS would actually want to make use of it on extremely intensive tasks.

Perhaps - but if you get 2-3 Andiiod upgrades and you pass your phone on to kids, grandma or someone who's less of a power user, having a phone that works can be better than buying them a new one.
Or if things keep going the way they're going, you keep the phone yourself because there's no significant upgrade that merits buying a whole new phone as long as the current one still works fine.

In both cases I doubt how much of a role the 12 gigs would play(highly doubtful) at all in comparison to 8 gigs, as that "additional" 4 gigs will have little to do with the system but a newer redesigned SoC definitely WILL - which will be absent.
I mean just adding some "Access gigs Of RAM " will not make the phone futureproof.
How many nand chips make up the 8Gb and the 12 GB?
If there are more chips in the 12gb version then it will eat more battery.
Just ordered the blue 12 G version ?
Unfortunate that 12GB is only available in blue.
Im about to order the 12GB version just for bragging rights. Does the 12GB actually make a difference to the performance? Unlikely if say. I have a 6T Mclaren and the 10GB makes zero difference over the ordinary 6T but with the Snapdragon maybe the extra ram is utilised who knows. Anyway Im hesitant as I don't want what Happened to the 6 to happen again a special edition Red color soon after. That really makes me angry. I was lucky to get the McLaren when I did. Don't want to spend over €800 and see that happening all over again.

Question To those who have OnePlus 9 with 12 gb of ram

I had a Xiaomi phone until recently with 6gb of ram. After installing all the apps and games (many) I had 3 gb of ram available. Now I have this OnePlus 9 with 12 GB but I still have only a little more than 3 GB available.
It is normal?.
How much memory have free in their phones now those with 12 gb of ram.
I'm using google translator. I hope the query is understood. Thanks
I have an 8gb OP9. I have 2.8gb free. I think it depends what apps you have installed and running. Also, oos may be heavier on resources than miui.

i got the 12GB, while playing PuBG Mobile, im at 5.9GB used and 6 free
Free ram is unused ram.
In best case it is almost fully used.
If anything need ram, something else will be kicked out of ram.
Better multitasking.....
I'm gonna be polite, but that is completely wrong. I understand where you would think that but. Read-ahead only uses so much cache/ram. And if it's all used up then its actually got more work to do as far as "searching for data" and you want free ram to be able to provide more space in order to do so or be available to be used if needed.

The amount of "Free RAM" is not the same as "Available RAM"
OOS keeps a lot of things that you don't even use cached in your RAM so when you do need them it can bring those up really fast. It does it because you have a lot of RAM to spare. And when you need more for a game it will automatically release that cached data. So although it says there's 3 GB free RAM, your available RAM is more likely around 7 or 8 GB. Don't try to worry about it because the operating system knows how to handle things for you so it feels fast.
Hope that helped.
