Discover how 12GB RAM can transform your experience of using a smartphone

Let’s start with an interesting trivia: the first-ever Android smartphone called HTC Dream, launched just about a decade ago, came with 192MB of RAM, 256MB of internal storage, a 3.15MP primary camera, and a 1,150mAh battery. If you compare it with the latest smartphones, the latter’s specifications seem to have gone out of hand! It goes without saying that smartphones have, over the years, undergone a dramatic rise in terms of processor performance, camera specifications, internal storage, battery backup, and whatnot! Consumers are watchful of these spec bumps, thanks to the massive dependence and usability of smartphones these days. What is RAM? Coming to RAM, this is one aspect that has a crucial role in the performance and multi-tasking capabilities of a smartphone. To understand the term better, RAM refers to a piece of hardware that keeps the current application data for instant access to the processor. It acts as the main memory for devices. Say if you open multiple apps, then your current state is logged onto the RAM. This helps you access the app in its current state after you are done working on one app. The higher the RAM, the higher is the capacity to run more data and multiple apps in the memory. This ultimately ensures a seamless user experience. Why Android Phones Need More RAM Than iPhone? Not known to many, Android phones need more RAM than iPhones. This is mainly because the approach towards memory management is different in both. Unlike Android, Ios does not rely on a Java Virtual machine to execute its codes. On the contrary, the app codes are directly executed on the hardware, limiting the need for RAM to run on virtual machines on IOS. On the other hand, Android is built for devices with varying hardware specifications, and thus, it needs more memory to execute the correct code for the suitable device. Besides, Android apps can use as much RAM as required, which makes them end up collecting more data on the RAM. And when it is not in use, the data is cleaned. How is RAM Important? These days, the RAM in phones have evolved, just as the apps that are coming up have been developed to utilise the maximum RAM. This particularly holds good for graphics-intensive games and apps, since they have a lot of processing to do, such as video converters, graphics editors, etc. If you want a glitch-free experience during gaming, a 12GB RAM should be the perfect pick for you. This also allows you to switch to other apps, be it a call, message, or some other work while the game is on. You can switch back as smoothly, minus any lag. Thanks to technological advancements, the entire approach of building apps on Android devices has evolved hugely. Even till recently, phones with lower RAM was the norm, and anything above 4GB of RAM was considered to be exceptionally good. Naturally, app developers also kept the apps’ RAM footprint low for a lag-free experience. In the last couple of years, RAM is no longer a benchmark, with even low-end phones offering over 4GB of RAM. Consequently, app developers have also adapted their approach by adding more functionalities to an app. Needless to say, this needs more RAM to work. The OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G with 12GB RAM and other attractive features!

Likewise, Android is also promoting the use of more RAM to guarantee a better user experience. The approach has shifted from being thrifty to being generous, as far as RAM usage is concerned. This is clearly reflected in most new-age smartphones, including the recently-launched OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G. Equipped with a power-packed processor, the MediaTek Dimensity 1200, the device runs on a chipset built on a 6nm production process with a clock speed of 3GHz. It is incredibly light on power and thus, saves battery life, which is a significant plus point for demanding users. Besides, this chipset also promises an improved CPU and GPU performance. Additionally, the 12GB RAM and flagship-level performance makes this model stand apart. It promises an all-around unmatched experience, thanks to Wi-Fi 6 connectivity support, ultra-fast FHD+ 120Hz displays, and a 108MP main camera. If you are looking to buy a high-end phone with optimum RAM capacity along with other attractive features, this phone should definitely be on your list!

Some of the features in the Reno6 series smartphones are indeed similar but the upgrade in the chipset is noteworthy.

 

If Reno5 smartphones were a catch for selfie addicts, the new Reno6 series is going to be a good catch for gamers out there.

OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G- Will It Be The 5g Smartphone Contender Of 2021?

The OPPO Reno Series has always managed to grab the eyeballs of smartphone enthusiasts. No wonder, the announcement of the next model in the line-up, the OPPO Reno6, had piqued the curiosity of gadget-freaks, including me. Expectations were high, thanks to industry speculations and insiders’ bytes. Now that it is soon to make its way into the smartphone market, the likes of me are awaiting its launch with excited anticipation.

Rich in Features and Specifications

Expected to flaunt a 6.43-inch OLED display, with Full HD+ resolution at 1080x2400 pixels, and powered by MediaTek Dimensity 1200 5G chipset, the OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G, in my opinion, is surely going to be the 5G smartphone contender of this year. Equipped with 128 GB of onboard storage, the OPPO 2021 new model will be using the ColorOS version that is built over the Android 11 operating system for this model. The device is likely to be powered by an octa-core Snapdragon 768G chipset, along with 8GB of RAM. This will not only give you optimum mid-range performance but also support 5G network. Here, it is also important to understand what exactly 5G is and what its implications/benefits are for this OPPO new mobile model.

Taking a Deep-Dive Into 5G

5G refers to the fifth generation of wireless mobile networks. A successor to 4G, it has been launched in more than 60 countries. 5G not only promises fast speeds but also offers excellent Capacity, Bandwidth, and Uniform and Consistent Network. This ensures that your phone’s network is accessible anywhere and everywhere. 5G is aimed at connecting everyone and everything which will guarantee ultra-fast speeds, coupled with low latency and improved capacity. For example, if a 5G tower is installed in a densely populated area, maximum people will be able to access consistent speed, if 5G is uniformly distributed. 5G is supposed to boost both reliability and availability. This implies that even remote areas will get a steady network, thanks to 5G.

5G trials have already begun in India and if market speculations are to be believed, by January 2022, the bidding of the spectrum will be completed and within one year of it, 5G will be deployed in India. To put things in perspective, 4G networks provide an Internet speed of 12 to 13 Mbps while low-band 5G networks will provide up to 100mbps Internet speed on average. The upgrade will be even more obvious to you once you download movies and games in seconds!

Camera And Battery Life

As far as the camera performance is concerned, this OPPO new model is expected to get a AI quad-camera setup at the rear, comprising a 64MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle sensor, a MP sensor, and a 2MP depth sensor. The 32MP front camera of this latest OPPO model is expected to capture impressive selfies and also help in shooting videos and taking video calls. Amongst OPPO’s  best camera phones, the Bokeh Flare Portrait Video feature will be videographer’s dream feature coming alive in a smartphone!

Coming to battery life, in all likelihood, the OPPO Reno6 Series will allow buyers to enjoy a decent battery backup, thanks to its 65W fast charging. Going by the buzz, it is also expected to support 65W fast charging. Users can also make the most of connectivity features such as Wifi, Bluetooth 5.0, 5G, 4G VOLTE and GPS with GLONASS.

By now, it must be quite evident how the OPPO Reno6 Series will give other smartphones in its segment a run for their money. The expected OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G price is around Rs. 39,000 in India, this model is worth the wait, as is revealed by the above-mentioned features and specifications, mostly brought to light by tipsters. If you are on the lookout for the best phone under 40k, this should be a great pick!
