Hello!
I'm thinking about buying Moto X4 with 4 GB of RAM, but after some research I found out, that RAM management on this phone is pretty bad. How it's looks in real life? How many apps wold I be able to keep in memory? Or maybe it was an issue only on specific Android version? Xiaomi Mi A1 probably don't have this problem, and can handle with 10+ apps running, but I don't know if I get used to that huge phone
Regards,
Have you guys tried the new SWAP on WEEKLY 21.7.21 rom?
It supposed to decrease 5º celsius under load and decrease throttling and battery consumption.
CHANGELOG
System
New - Xiaomi.eu recovery ROM for Mi 11 Lite 5G (renoir)
New - Enabled "Memory extension (SWAP)" feature [Snapdragon 888/870/865 devices]
System launcher
Fix - Uninstalling apps using drag-and-drop was not working in drawer mode
EDIT: from what i gather it's supposed to increase your RAM by creating Virtual RAM using your UFS3.1 Storage, also decrease/use around 3gb of storage space like windows pagefile.

It actually does not increase your ram and is only used if you are out of ram, Considering the vast majority of phones have anywhere from 6GB - 12GB ram and the average user in all actuality uses no more than four, this is just a useless gimmick that will take up space on your sd card/internal storage and won't give you any performance boost whatsoever.
Back in the day, when phones only had 1-3GB ram, we would root our phones and use these swap files to help with opening files and running apps, but that isn't necessary in today's smartphone world.

Its built in to all MIUI, but only benefits phones with four or less GB of ram. Let me ask you, your phone has 12GB or ram and the average user only uses 4GB ram, how is this going to benefit you in any way?

You need to understand how it works. It merely creates a swap file on your internal storage and with the amount of ram flagship phones have (the Mi 11 Ultra has 12GB), it will never, ever be used, but it will take up space on your internal storage, that you could use for other more important things, like pictures, videos, music, games, etc...
Well definitely is not a feature for flagships,

Not a feature for any phone with greater than 4GB ram.
Indeed
Hey, i am planning to purchase Redmi note 10 pro. Should I go for 8gb ram or 6gb ram variant?
Is 6gb ram varient enough for fb, whatsapp, content consumption? (Not gaming much)
Although this device has wide range of custom rom support. Is there any benefits for having 8gb ram while using custom rom in future?
sure, 6gb is more than enough. eventhough a lot of unused apps are still cached, i got 700mb free
First of all, you can go with 6GB RAM if do not play much games! And I suggest you to buy Redmi Note 10 Pro, because I am using this device myself.
Overall the device is loaded with great features.
But due to MIUI lagging issue, I moved to Pixel-UI. And I also use G-Cam for the highest resolution images.
As a high expectation user, I must say that, use the Redmi Note 10 Pro with Pixel-UI and G-Cam for the highest performance and smooth using.
And yes, with the 6GB of RAM variant is enough for medium use like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter.
I have a Redmi Note 9 global, which has problems with slowness (specially using the camera) since I've upgraded to MIUI 12 years ago, now I'm using Pixel Experience 12 but I still have problems due to the lack of memory of this model.
Does everybody has this problem with this model? Is there anything I could do to make this device become more performant? I don't want to roll back to a old version because of the security patches, but I'm almost giving up.
MIUI 13 uses 4GB physical memory + 2GB virtual memory.
But if you upgrade to MIUI 13 you will lose all data.
Backup your data first and then, upgrade to MIUI.
Good luck
Previously I was using Samsung A 70 and note 11 is like two times slower in general performance. Everything feels worse. UI responsiveness, animations, app loading, app performance etc.
Yes, it's 4 GiB ram for Xiaomi and 8 GiB for Samsung. But I don't expect it would matter so much especially since it never uses more than 70% of those 4 GiB (with swap disabled).
I tried to use MIUI.eu but no real difference. Is it really all down to ram or it's defective piece?
After few months I got so feed up that I went back to Samsung and now it feels like real upgrade. Any tips?
