Here are 5 Smartphones with 16GB of RAM for Your Multitasking Needs

16GB of RAM? Do we really need that much? Usually, people want a phone to use for their everyday things, whether gaming or work. Some want high refresh rate displays for that smooth viewing experience. While others want the best camera systems out there. So how does a large amount of RAM benefit you? Here are some benefits that are easily noticeable:

For everyday use –

• Faster launching apps
• Makes transferring between apps faster
• Great for multitasking

For Gaming –

• Smoother gameplay
• Faster response times
• Allows you to record gameplay while playing without interruptions or framerate hiccups

So, in this article, we will share phones that are good for multitasking, and for some reason, some people just want phones with RAM that’s as high as 16GB (or more). For instance, the RedMagic 8S Pro Plus has a 24GB RAM option. Now that’s what we call overkill. But we guess there’s no such thing as overkill for RAM/multi-tasking junkies huh?
