Anyone knows if Samsung has plans to release updated version of international SGSIII with 2GB RAM like they are doing with US/Japan version?
1GB is not nearly enough for heavy multitasking...
Heavy multitasking?
Whatever do you actually use that
Require such hardware for a phone?

Lol, but last year 1G of RAM was more than enough. Where getting crazy. Duel-Core, and 1G of RAM was perfect, and still is. Quad-Core, and 1G of RAM is Over kill. Just trollin' it up. I'm sticking with Duel-Core until the next Nexus. If Google releases a Quad-Core, then I'll get a GSIII. But as of now, I'm enjoying the "Basic" Duel-Core with 1G of RAM.
Edit: Sig is from my ROM, running a port. Has a XE build prop.

Completely agree. 1GB of RAM is NOT enough for power multitasking. I will be waiting for 2GB version too. I am currently working with SWAP Partition in order to "FIX" low memory issues... i hope with SGS3 no more.
i hate when folk are like "DUH WHAT DO YOU NEED TWO GIG OF RAM FOR?"
what difference does it make what its for, we want it ok?
why wouldnt we want it?
its like saying what do you want a ferrarri for when you have a volvo in the drive?
or asking what do you want a million dollars for when you only need ten for your lunch?

Very unlikely... But what do u want to do with ur phone that u say 1 GB is nor enough.

I think it may be 2GB RAM on GSM GSIII but probably near the end of the year.
I'm upgrading from a Galaxy Fit, which has less than 200MB usable RAM; so I think I'll be happy with only 1GB RAM.

Which one is better?
I think quad-core is a waste if there are no games or app optimized for it. I'd rather have 2gb ram so I can have more ram hogging app open and less automatic app closing.

I'm a little iffy about upgrading .. now on G2, 1.2 with 1Gb ram. Is it worth spending the money for only .3 and 1 extra gig of ram?

If you asked the guy with the exploding quad core I bet he says the dual core with 2gb lol......... But seriously, I'd say you get more use from more ram, for at least the next 6 months anyways, till all the devs start updating their apps to optimize the 4 cores. But I'd still rather have more ram really.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I was asking myself the same question. Im going to go with the us variant, since there arent many apps (if any) optimized for 4 cores yet. I prefer the extra gig though because i run widgets like there no tomarrow
rather have the 2gb of ram...
ram is usually the bottleneck in computers
I like having a suped up dual core with TWO gigs of ram. And LTE , when it's available of course.

Hi to all!
I have a doubt, in the stock rom, it apears to have 700 mb of ram
I have installed cm10 yesterday, and it shows the same, 700 mb
how much ram have we in the xperia S??? in the original box, it shows 1024 mb!!!
Part of the ram is used by the GPU (graphic card). This is why the system can use "just" around 700 mega bytes.
300mb used by system itself.
dont worry
But I think this is lot of wasted ram.
300 gpu + 400 os =700MB not available
Sony should indicate that this phone has 768MB not 1GB like MIUI did.
They shouldn't include the 300MB lost by the gpu.

They mention the chip capacity, not the available memory. It is perfectly normal. My laptop has 7.631 GB RAM because the Intel GPU and ramdisks and whatnot use up the rest.

It is a comparison of two different devices. If you just take the Xperia S and slap an additional 1GB RAM chip on it, you will never notice the difference. It's Tegra vs Exynos and Sense vs TouchWiz way more than 1GB vs 2GB.

Thanks for post. Many users don't know this
I'm waiting for someone to come in to this thread and try to tell us why you need 50 gigs of Ram and how his US variant with 2 gigs of RAM is far superior to the international, I own both so before this even comes to light lets be clear,clean,cut and dry the international version is smoother than the US variant no matter how many of you RAM fanatics want to tell me that 2 gigs is master race. Further Android manages RAM very well on it's own you can probably run just about anything with 512mb of RAM, but a whole gigabyte that's just butter on my toast. I hope people will actually read this thread and learn how their devices work instead of just yelling about how they need more RAM and wonder why they have no battery life when a task manager constantly clears the cache. I would appreciate it if one of the more informed members of XDA can make a simple write up of how Android manages RAM and why more free RAM is not always better :highfive:
Whilst I agree with the comments here it sometimes helps by not being rude to people who aren't as knowledgeable with android as some of us and who are asking questions like I have seen in some threads.
Whilst the adage free RAM is wasted RAM is generally correct with android there is no harm in freezing of uninstalling apps that you know you don't use.
For example I never use svoice and chat-on so there is no harm in freezing those or preventing them from loading if they will never be used.
Whilst unused RAM IS wasted RAM,,, RAM used by unused apps is also wasted ram
Go easy on the noobs and have a good weekend.

If I'm not mistaken the architecture of the version supporting HSPA does not support 2gb, that's why the Korean variant is slightly different and has 2 gigs of RAM, essentially It wouldn't have made any difference, the 32nm a9 process is about as far as it's going to go. (also I think the Korean version has 2 gigs of Ram due to LTE taking up more resources)
op, maybe it is not the issue of free-ing up RAM.. it also save up some battery...
eg: before you went to slp... make sure all are shut down.. and hv a minimal prog open for sync/phone..
of course now all OS have RAM optimism, but then sometime/some of the OS are not so profession on this.
most of the time due to the OS rooted/JB, which will have different methodology for optimizing the RAM.
Well, you can't deny the fact that more ram equals better multitasking. With less than 200mb of free ram after several days of use, my browser has to reload whenever I minimise it to check messages. But that wouldn't be the case if I had more free ram, ie when I've just rebooted the phone.

If more RAM doesn't matter, then why do I get booted out of Tintin and other heavy gameloft games whilst having had to run other program before the games were started? The only way to play without the game crashing is first be clearing cache. Would it be low RAM, Samsung's fault(no good optimizations), or gameloft's fault(no good optimizations)?

I always keep a track of the available RAM on my device. On stock ROM, keeping bloatware and unnecessary apps disabled, i get RAM of about 450 MB available for usage. I was also able to do this on ARHD. On CM11 it slightly went down. I've noticed that by freeing more RAM i am able to make my battery longer, not a discovery worth mentioning since it's pretty obvious but just saying.
Hi guys;
I don't like Themer for 2 request.
1. I don't is economic for the battery.
2. I use many ram.

I'm using a DHD (ace) which is pretty old and hacked together so it may not be themers fault.

Yeah, I know, but it should try to aim as much devices as possible, and the most usual configuration right now is 1GB RAM (as low/mid-range devices are the vast majority of devices out there). A launcher is not an app to be aimed for high-end devices as themer is just a compilation of widgets/icons & wallpapers, and there are not so many to have that usage, as for example Action Launcher takes about 100MB RAM having 4 widgets on screen with much more information than for example the text or image widgets of Themer.

But even for a device with a gig of ram, 250mb is just 25% of the ram used. The other 75% is for whatever. It's still not enough to significantly slow down a phone. What the heck are you doing with 75% of ram?

Well, Android is a resource-hungry OS, and some apps do get a good amount of RAM too, I usually have about 200-300MB free, using Action Launcher, but as soon as I get Themer, RAM goes low like hell ( < 50MB). You know, system optimization makes a lot, and system-apps too. With a clean phone mine has about 400MB used.
