Samsung has finally launched the much-awaited Galaxy S22 series flagship smartphone that comes running the company’s own One UI 4.1 out-of-the-box based on the Android 12 operating system with a focus on improving user experience.
In line with that, the South Korean tech giant has a new feature to enhance the user experience on these newly launched smartphones by allowing users to configure the amount of virtual memory on the devices.
The company has introduced a feature called RAM Plus for the Galaxy lineup of devices that enables users to increase the amount of RAM to improve the phone’s performance. The amount of virtual RAM can be selected out of four options — 2GB, 4GB, 6GB, and 8GB.
The feature basically allocates some of the phone’s storage phone as virtual RAM. This is similar to Windows allocating a portion of disk storage to use as virtual RAM for a scenario where the physical RAM is insufficient.
Although the feature isn’t new, the Galaxy phones were limited to using only 4GB of storage as virtual RAM but with the One UI 4.1, the company is now allowing the users to choose up to 8GB in case that much memory is needed.
It’s noteworthy that the 4GB storage is selected by default to be used as virtual RAM and while users can change the configuration, there’s no option for disabling this feature on the Samsung Galaxy devices.
