You have a phone with 12GB ram, your test is meaningless because even with the option on, you'll never use virtual ram until you fill the 12 gb RAM up first.
I think this test will be more relevant with phones with lower ram
I got better battery life with it off.
Been testing this on the s23u, 12GB variant. Only difference I can feel with it off, it's slower in loading my modes and routines after a restart. Overall performance and feel, navigation, multitasking, video editing, no difference at all, same exact results. Battery, no difference. Ram benchmark is inconsistent but had multipe runs over the day. On average, the sequencial read speed is higher with ram plus off, but random read speed is lower, the rest are more or less equal, no matter if it's on or off. Personally I just keep it on at 8GB, as it came by default.
I would personally turn it off,as the write and deleting operations on your UFS storage causes unnecessary wear. We don't know how many write/delete operations are done, but this is just my personal opinion
I think Samsung has reason to include this option, and it's on by default too. I think they're smart enough and has done researching before giving us that option. I have Z fold 4, i leave it to default, and i don't have any issue, no lag, everything running smoothly, so i found no reason to turn it off and i have enough storage to store my documents, files. So, the best practice is leave it to default, unless you are running out of storage
It's weird after I turned off the Ram plus performance is way better in terms of Homescreen navigation.
I thought the wear and tear issue for SSDs was already fixed if not improved?Plus its not very often your phone will be forced to use virtual ram unless you're lazy and find closing apps too much of a burden or you run applications that require more memory and CPU power than your phone is capable of sustaining for long periods. As per my own experience, I've only noticed reduced performance in memory intensive sessions like gaming when internal storage is above 100gb/128gb. Note that I have 6GB physical RAM and a RAM PLUS of 6GB. On or off I can't tell the difference in performance and battery life unless the storage is above 100gb/128gb
Even i have doubt about adaptive battery, i think i get better screen on time when adaptive battery off, sir please test and make a video about it too
I wish someone would test with 4gb 6gb devices like Tab S7fe
I'm not surprised. Samsung wouldn't have included virtual ram unless it was actually an improvement.
Multitasking is generally one of the biggest advantages of it for low-RAM devices. It will reduce how often apps need to be killed/refreshed since Android can just swap out data that hasn't been recently accessed.
Are you running beta software? Cus when you take a screenshot it is painfully slow. Didnt they fix that after beta 3?
it would be great if you do a video lsiting every changes and new features that come with one ui 5. All youtubers are only listing the main additions! Some youtubers in apple community are make hour long videos listing every single changes on ios16! i dont know any other youtuber makes similar videos on samsung phones :)
Did you test the battery on s22 and s23?
Actually, the phone still has a swap file. At least on the Z Fold 4, It has 3GB of swap. I found out when I disabled it and it still showed 3GB in Diskinfo. This swap is nor directly managed by One UI but by Android itself. You would have less swap if you chose 2GB instead of turning it off.
my s20 fe 5g sd865 6gb ram was experiencing frame drops in codm battle royal it would some time drop to 40 fps for 2 - 3 seconds.
More physical storage allocated ,will also mean faster random reads and writes , so max setting is best
Well, without boring you all with numbers i was curious and tried with my new z flip 4 (888+ gen1) it has 8GB RAM/128GB storage. Based on cdpt rough tests without 4GB RamPlus the performance are more than double compared with the tests with RamPlus enabled but...not replicable. I mean that when i switched to ramplus back again to no plus and did the same tests the results was totally different! Speaking about Geekbench 5 that is a more exaustive test suite the results are pretty similar in both conditions even if ..whoever knows GB5 knows that even it gives different results every time :-) So what i deducted from this? 1) it is obvious that without the virtual memory the rough memory ops. are faster in ram than in ram+virtual ram but in the reality the meanings of RamPlus is intended for who don't care to close apps even once a day just to recover one of the 20/30 apps running in background. People with 8Gb Ram or more could avoid enable this feature because i don't think it will speed up the overall everyday use. More probable it will a little bit decrease the performance but nothing of hugely noticeable. Then, in the end, for me is a useless feature.
Thank for the video. Any update on battery drain findings?
