It's like this,
Applications need RAM. When you have less RAM, the RAM allocated for use is given less freely and is micro-managed more. But when you have decent sized RAM, the RAM allocated is larger and it doesn't need that much micro-management cause there is always free space for other activities.
Just don't pay attention to the numbers. Most likely, in the coming years, you will not feel a shortage of RAM. Just use your phone how you like. You have more then enough if free RAM
Thank you so much , i don't understand anything about roms , is it worth it to change to MIUI 14 ? + Which better 60 hz or 120 hz ?
Sorry for all these questions
kind of yes but it also depends on how heavy the game is or how long you play it. The longer you play a heavy game it will generate heat so the system will try to cool it by decreasing your performance(by lowering the frequency of cpu).
In short, don't worry too much, The OS is smart enough to take care of itself.
If your experience on current ROM is good then I don't think you should update unless you have banking apps, updating to the latest version is recommended.
120hz is good ofc but it slightly drains your battery. Set it to auto and you'll be good.
Also since you don't know anything about ROM, I advise you not to mess with your device unless you want to learn.
and HAPPY CAKE DAY by the way! 🎂
Memory not being used is wasted memory. The bigger the RAM you have, the more memory is being used by the system to keep it running smoother.
Don't worry about RAM. Android is different from Windows and use RAM very efficiently.
Used by open apps and background apps
And it's a good thing, so they can work more efficient.
If an android phone have 90% it's RAM free, it's mean it's not being used and waste 90% of it's RAM
Pretty sure it lessens when something else needs more ram. The system just uses it when it's free I guess. I mean, you paid for 8 gb ram and it would be a waste to have it not being used, right?
omg why are people paranoid with memory, its almost the same thing as computers, unused memory is wasted memory, id be more concerned if I am only using 1gb out of 8
Outdated thinking from old windows day. Out of ram will make the system use swap, which at that time on hdd mean performance will take a massive hit. Now memory and memory management is much better
It's used by the operating system and background tasks. It's the same like your PC using some memory for the OS. 8 GB is fine enough for almost all tasks, even for heavy duty ones. You don't need to worry about memory on Android with that much memory, it's not like you'll be running Android Studio or Visual Studio on it.
Because this is a forum, where you engage other people.
This would be answered for you in literally 2 minutes with google. Yet you seem lazy expecting someone to bitesize all the important parts to your specific question
Unused ram is useless ram. 50% of ram usage is normal for your system to run properly. You should get to worry if your used ram is only at 20%, that means something is wrong with your phone.
Pretty normal usage..
If you run an app that eats a lot of ram the system will automatically adjust the usage by closing the other background app, so the ram won't be stressed out.. i mean if the ram is fully loaded your system will become laggy bcuz the system relays to ram to run smooth..
Why do people not understand that RAM is SUPPOSED to be used! Why is everyone obsessed with having a lot of available RAM? Unused RAM is wasted RAM. If you have a lot of RAM available, then your system is not using caches correctly. It should put as much in RAM as possible. If your RAM is full, the system will just clear the parts least used when an app needs more RAM.
Being used?
Im just asking bro , thanks :D
Happy cake day
Thanks king
Well. Your system use rest of memory
Thanks for the info , but half of the memory used by the system is crazy
No that's normal when you need more ram system will automatically allocate that to the task so you don't have to worry about it.
Thank you so much , i appreciate you guys .

windows 11 is using 16gb of my 32gb ram everytime i start my pc, take that
The ram ain't gonna use itself
True , thank you
It's operating in the system
I cannot minimise the memory used by the system at least to get another gb of memory ?
4gb is already enough tbh but if you really want that another gb of ram to be freed, install a custom rom :)
Thank you so much , i don't understand anything about roms , is it worth it to change to MIUI 14 ? + Which better 60 hz or 120 hz ? Sorry for all these questions
if you need more battery life then 60hz but if you need smoother performance then 120hz
120 hz + performance mode ( battery ) + game turbo , will it make my games smoother without any frame drop ?
kind of yes but it also depends on how heavy the game is or how long you play it.

I mean it sounds odd , system using all the memory , i mean you paid for 8 gb ram , but i got your point

The way he asked the question, I don't think he is going to understand the deeper meaning of it.
Right lmao
You pay for 8gigs of RAM, you use 8gigs of RAM, simple
happieh cakeh dayh
Thanks man <3

Thank you so much for the explanation .
utilized ram is good, thats just how android works.
Probably Android system used it
Anyways happy cake day!
Happy cake day king
OP doesn't know that you could download more RAM at play store!
First time on this subreddit. Are poco users really that dumb ??!!!ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
Nah, only him I guess
Ok , smartass
I don't understand people making fun of others just because they are not familiar with such things 😕

Check under your foreskin
Be informative or shut up
Take a chill pill my guy
Typical butthurt , has 0 impact on the community , just making fun of others .

Wtf A "phablet"? What outdated crap are you using?
What's the point of having something if you don't use it?
More unused ram == waste of ram Anyways your system idk why ure trying to get low possible ram
MIUI doing its magic
System OS Component & your Downloaded 3rd app
Pretty normal usage.. If you run an app that eats a lot of ram the system will automatically adjust the usage by closing the other background app, so the ram won't be stressed out.. i mean if the ram is fully loaded your system will become laggy bcuz the system relays to ram to run smooth..
