I don’t get why Android phones have so much ram.

They often have more ram than my wife’s MacBook and the same or my as my desktop.

How much ram is needed if you’re not gaming or video editing?

In my case, it’s a very occasional picture or video recorded and then just social media apps and web. Do I need to get a phone with 12gb? Or is that just thrown in there for marketing?

    I’m happy with my purchase, I always buy a flagship and Xiaomi is actually the first for me that I bought the second time from the same manufacturer. MIUI is crap, but I always root, so it makes it bearable.

      I thought about just installing a different distro on it but I need my banking apps to work sadly.
