I don’t get why Android phones have so much ram.
They often have more ram than my wife’s MacBook and the same or my as my desktop.
How much ram is needed if you’re not gaming or video editing?
In my case, it’s a very occasional picture or video recorded and then just social media apps and web. Do I need to get a phone with 12gb? Or is that just thrown in there for marketing?
My Pixel 6a has 6GB.
I’m very happy with it.
I think 4GB is ok but on the lower end.
8GB is plenty.
My tablet has 6GB and that feels like overkill. My phone has 3GB
It is overkill in iOS perhaps, but Android is very RAM hungry, I’d say if you use just a few apps in the tablet then yeah, it is overkill.
