Unlike Android, iOS doesn’t rely on Java Virtual machine to execute its codes and the app codes are directly executed on the hardware thus limiting the need for RAM to run virtual machines on iOS.Īndroid is built for various devices with varying hardware specifications, hence, it needs more memory to execute the right code for the right device. Why do Android phones need more RAM than iPhones?ĭuggal: There are multiple reasons for it, but the major one will be their approach towards memory management. More RAM ensures more data and multiple apps running in the memory for a seamless user experience. If a user has opened multiple apps then their current state is logged onto the RAM, which helps the user access the app in its current state after finishing work on another app. This serves as the main memory for devices and is faster than HDD, SSD or Optical drives.Ī device's performance is not just dependent on the processor but also the amount of memory (RAM) it carries. So are we saying that phones require more RAM than laptops? I am no expert, so I turned to Sachin Dev Duggal, Founder & CEO of Engineer.ai to better understand right how RAM is used on a smartphone and how much RAM is too much RAM! What is RAM? Why do we need it?ĭuggal: RAM in any device, be it handheld or a PC, is a piece of hardware where the current application data is kept for instant access to the processor. My MacBook Pro has 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage.
