Samsung is introducing the virtual RAM capability to its devices and this has commenced with the Galaxy A52s 5G smartphone released recently. The virtual RAM approach to enhancing the capability of Android devices is a growing trend begun by some Chinese pacesetters.

The update of the Galaxy A52s 5G RAM resources is powered by the new program called RAM Plus which enables users of the device in certain regions including India, to automatically install a software update that will thereafter create an additional 4GB of RAM capability using the device’s internal storage. The approach is not new per se, as the pagefiles method had existed before now. The RAM Plus is thus a rehash of the memory paging feature in Android and other devices.

The version of the software is A528BXXU1AUH9 and is applicable for the Galaxy A52s 5G in India. The download is 250MB and is speculated that this upgrade will improve the camera and overall device stability, as well as provide additional resources to install more apps on the device. Users in India and other regions where the RAM upgrade is available should go to the Settings menu on their A52s 5G smartphone and choose Software Update to download and install the new RAM upgrade software. It is also possible to manually download the firmware and install it on your device.

The Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G processor, which is the major distinguishing feature between it and the Galaxy A52 5G which was released earlier in the year. It is unclear which other smartphones are lined up for the RAM Plus feature, as Samsung is yet to provide those details at this time.

The post Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G Europe price revealed as it is launched in Germany appeared first on Gizmochina.

Earlier this month, a tipster hinted that Samsung was planning to upgrade the Galaxy A52 with the launch of a new model which will likely be known as Galaxy A52s 5G. The model number was also revealed to be SM-A528B. Now, a new Samsung Galaxy model bearing the same model number Samsung SM-A528B has appeared on GeekBench database.

The GeekBench listing shows that the device will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G processor which is the same chipset utilised by the upcoming Galaxy M52. The benchmark test shows that the Snapdragon 778G has a superior performance over the Snapdragon 750G used on the well-received Galaxy A52 5G.

The device recorded a score of 771 on the singlecore test while the multicore test score is 2788,  just a little lower than the performance of the Exynos 2100 onboard the flagship Galaxy S21 series.

Further, the GeekBench listing shows that the Galaxy A52s will have up to 8GB RAM. There will likely be other RAM sizes just like the Galaxy A52 features a 6GB RAM version. The device will also run on Android 11 out-of-the-box but will likely get upgraded to Android 12 next year.

The Galaxy A52s is also rumoured to come in three colour options: black, white, and light green but there could be more. There is no word yet on the launch date though, but we expect the launch to happen later in the year.
