Almost all popular Android OEMs now offer a virtual RAM feature. Samsung was the last company to join the bandwagon very recently with the launch of Galaxy A52s 5G. The South Korean tech giant calls its implementation ‘RAM Plus’. The feature is now being rolled out to the Galaxy A52.

A few hours back, Samsung started seeding October 2021 security patches for the Galaxy A52. According to SamMobile, this system update also brings the ‘RAM Plus’ feature.

Hence, users who have updated to the latest firmware now have an increased amount of RAM on their unit. To check whether they have got the feature, users will have to navigate to Settings > Battery and device care > Memory.

Unlike Chinese OEMs, Samsung allows users to neither disable the virtual RAM feature nor change the amount of RAM. If a device adds support for RAM Plus, the feature remains turned on permanently. Also, the company only offers an additional 4GB of RAM.

Since virtual RAM uses the handset’s internal storage, users will lose some amount of memory.  It would be better if Samsung provided more opinions for RAM Plus like the competition.

Samsung RAM Plus is expected to reach more Galaxy devices via OTA software updates.
