Android vendors have been steadily increasing the amount of RAM on phones in the past few years, moving rapidly beyond 4GB of RAM, and then surpassing the next logical milestones — 6GB and 8GB of RAM. All the while, Apple failed to keep up with its rivals, and that’s because RAM alone isn’t enough to make a phone run faster. Apple focused on chip technology and software optimizations to deliver iPhones that were faster than the competition both in benchmarks and real-life speed tests. That’s not to say that more memory won’t pay off, at least on Android, and we saw last year that some handsets with 8GB of RAM would outperform the 2017 iPhones in real-life speed tests, in spite of trailing Apple’s handsets in benchmarks. The first Androids with 10GB of RAM followed, and now Samsung will unveil a Galaxy S10+ version with 12GB of memory.
