There is absolutely no performance improvement with 12gb over 8gb. It's a con to get you to spend more. If you have 10s of apps open in the background then the 12 will perform better. But everyday stuff you will not see a difference as there isn't one.
I only heard DEX could be better on 12, but who uses that? I had a 12/512GB version for 2 months, then I got a 8/256GB that I have for a year now - superb like new performance and battery life.
Guys the phones are optimized around 8gb of ram. The extra ram literally sits there and just pike a conp extra ram that sits can actually slow things down not speed things up. At the moment the 12gb is having more issues with freezing or locking then the 8gb believe it or not at the moment. Still rare on either device tbh. Its also why on geekbench the 8gb scored higher 200 extra on multi core because again to much ram sitting not being used actually slows thinga down! Dont buy the 12gb just for the extra storage of 512 unless you really reallt meed the extra space. Please dont listen to the sales pitch or anybody on youtube telling you to get something else just for the sake of it. Most dont understand optimization or how ram works and why the extra will never ever do anything for you on these phones. You wont find one thing that it does better with the extra again it can actually hinder its performance. Which is why most are starting to nor even offer 12gb because it doesnt add value. See the thing samsung and others dont tell you is the 12gb is actually a slightly slower speed of ram while the 8gb is faster which is also why you wont see the difference and if anything get lower scores from the 12gb. I mean come on they offer an extra 4gb of ram they arent going to give you faster ram while they are at it for only 150 more lol.
Es verdad, yo tengo el de 8 gb de ram y es una máquina, además por 4gb extra de ram el precio se dispara muchísimo, yo hablo de acá de Colombia... Es una diferencia muy grande
I went for the 8GB, it arrived today at my parents. Need to collect it. Couldn't justify the extra cash for 4gb more of Ram that I assumed wouldn't be noticeable, yeah the extra storage is good but I used cloud storage anyways so it's become less important for me to have loads of built in storage.
I just ordered the s23 ultra also. I went for the 256gb, thinking storage is the only difference. Now Iam bummed it has only 8gb. Iam not sure if 8gb is enough in the long run. It should have great performance, but iam not sure.
@@agentcooki thanks bro , its my first android in 6 years, I dont want a bad experience so I went for the ultra. I barely game, just need a snappy phone 🙂👍 for 2 years. Just saw that the s23 and s23+ standard have 8gb of ram. So the ultra in 8gb should be ok also.
I've always wondered why phones with more RAM memory use 60% more memory right after a phone reset. Same thing is with PC. If you have 16gb windows maybe will be use 6gb but I you have 32gb is going up to 12gb.
Because it's there to be used, it makes the phone faster if things are stored in RAM instead of loading them from storage every time you click on something. So the phone, within reason, will try to use as much ram as possible as long as it has some free for any tasks you may ask of it
@@samwoodsywoodsexactly. People approach RAM like storage and want to see it mostly unused. But it’s meant to be used and as long as you’re not completely tapping it out completely and consistently it’s good to go.
I had the S22 ultra and I always run the same apps. So got the S23 ultra and I forgot about the Ram difference.. Well, I would get bunch of apps closed and yes, for basic use 8GB is fine, but when you start using more apps in the background you notice the difference. So, I returned the 8GB version for the 12GB and boy, there is a difference. Also, for the fan boys, ram plus is not actual memory, it is just Linux virtual cache, which runs at the storage speed. If you own a phone, look how much ran you normally use, note Samsung has lot of services that eat your ram. I am disappointed that the basic S22 ultra had the 12GB and now you have to get the 512GB version for it. When I returned the manager from Bestbuy said I was the fourth person returning the S23 ultra. But no one will say that in public.
It had 12gb of much slower ram lol. It's why the ram tests still won on the s23 ultra. It was optimized around 8gb. Getting 12 does nothing on the s23 as he even showed. If anything it slowed somw things down even the benchmark. Bevause this phone was optimized with super fast 8gb. The 12gb variant is actually slightly slower on its speed I mean did you really expect them to give you 12gb of faster ram and more storage on top of it for only 150 more? For phones the speed of the ram is what matters most. I've never ever seen a full 8gb of ram ever used. So you have 4gb sitting there doing nothing and at a slightly slower speed. It's just slowing things down a little bit. But luckily not enough to really cause any issue in real world performance. It's why both perform almost identically. But again you will actually find the igb version edging things out. You can't make up that there is a noticeable difference when everyone comparing each is showing the opposite of what you are saying. And again the s22 ultra also had a slower 12gb ram then the s23 8gb faster ram. Same thing goes with computers.
@AjOman7 exactly idk how many people don't understand this. Fuck 12 or 16gb when we don't even fully use 8gb and if it's faster then I'll choose it all day long.

Still don't lol its not being utilized. People don't understand the phones are optimized around 8g. The extra ram just like on some computers sits there and can actually slow things down since it's not used much. People have this backwards all the time. It's also why the 8gb still got a better geekbench score lol. An extra 200 is nothing to sneeze at on multi core. Not just that but Samsung doesn't tell you the 12gb of ram in the phone is running at a slightly slower speed then the 8gb of ram. I mean come on you expected them to give you 4gb more of ram and at a faster speed? Only for 150more? Naw ain't happening again why the teats on the 8gb will always be a slightly ahead of the 12gb.
I purchased both, and yes, there is a huge difference in day to day use. The applications last longer in the version with more ram, the 8GB version tends to close applications, get stuck and heat up. In fact, I'm surprised no one talks about this and allows themselves to be scammed like that.
hello so i wish we had some load bearing activities on this. when pulling up a single website both dont need to struggle much and use much ram to do the operations in this video. however if he tried to connect these to dex i would say he would be able to see the difference then or if he pulled up multiple apps on each screen to see which hesitate or run a little better. as well as a very hard to run game. this is why i think you dont see much difference.
I feel like the majority of people commenting don't understand what ram is.... its not for storing your photos and videos lol, it will make no difference at all to 99 percent of the samsung community. Its for gaming and running multiple things at once which not many people actually do. Even with 4gb you can still run multiple things at the same time. Wouldn't bother soending the extra money anyway, not many people will fill up the phone by the time they upgrade to the next one anyway.
I've been using the Samsung S23 Ultra with 8GB of RAM for a few months now and when I have several applications open the phone gets hot and slow, causing the battery to wear out. Have I have RAM Plus activated at 8GB and still the applications close when I open the camera, I'm not even a user who uses the phone to play, I only use social networks and applications and even so it heats up and slows down, making it seem like a mid-range...
@@TechthroughToni I don't know, I just wish the phone was fluid, the battery lasted longer, it didn't get hot and the applications didn't close. Yes Honestly, it is a huge headache to deal with this phone that cost me more than 1000 dollars, I don't know what solution to give it.
@@TechthroughToni It is not normal for a high-end phone to work this badly, sometimes it is fluid and other times slow, it frustrates me a little and sometimes I would like to return it but I can't. I'm thinking that my problem is because of the RAM, Samsung is too heavy for them to only put 8GB in a premium range , and although the RAM is faster and better than the previous generation, the quantity does matter and the consequences are performance.I have done some research and I have also seen that the 8GB version of the S22 Ultra was slow compared to its 12GB version, the same goes for the S23 Ultra, the processor is good but the amount of RAM limits it making the phone not able to use all its functions so it works better, it's just my hypothesis, since,I have had other Xiaomi phones where I have never experienced these problems... I have formatted the device and I still have the problem that applications like TH-cam, tiktok or others close drastically when I open the camera to record or take a photo, When I have many applications open, the phone heats up and becomes slow, but low-end type slow, it seems like I am using MediaTek, I don't feel like the processor is using all of its power. If some words are not understood, it is because I am using a translator.
I love the music you picked out for this video. It was very satisfying to watch. I'm just upgraded today to a 256 but I don't know how much GBs it is. He just asked if I wanted the 256 with the tmobile special I didn't realize there was two choices in gbs.
Ciao. Ottimo video. Una curiosità in caso debba comprarlo. Ha senso prenderlo da 512gb invece che 256 per la differenza di ram? Si nota la differenza( 8 o 12Gb)
Hey Mate Thank you so much for making this video. Had the exact same quandary around which one to buy. In your usage have you had a definite answer to which is better ?
The 12 GB version will be better if you will be gaming (plan to install a lot of games) but overall 8gb will get the job done too.. I have the Lavander S23 that it's in this video. Almost 1 month of usage. So far so good
im considering the s23+ as my next phone for atleast the next 4-5 years, will 8gb ram be enough for me with moderate use? lots of picture taking, the occasial heavy games, with my daily social media apps running in the background? all still being smooth and fast?
Calcolate che iphone 15 ha 8 gb al massimo e i modelli precedenti 6GB. Dipende tutto dal software e come gestisce le applicazioni. In linea di massima 8GB sono più che sufficienti.
If you need it to edit videos or pro gaming go with the 12 GBs - si Lo o upas Para editor videos o Para judges pesados ve Por el de 12 go - also with heavy use 12 Ram will give you better battery performance
S22 ultra with base variant 8-128 get some problems as laggy when open camera app. I 'd like to get s23u with 8gb to saving, difference in my country is around 180$
You wont be saving! s22 ultra 128gb now is $1,400AUD on special at Bing Lee Australia, at JBHIFI s22 ultra 128gb is $2,000AUD 128gb. Today Saturday Black Friday sales commenced so s23 ultra 256GB at Telstra outright is $1,500 or 512GV $1,750. They knocked down the price only on Samsung but UNFORTUNATELY iphone 15 pro max 256GB is still same price $2,200 😂
Paid 900 pound for my 8/256 s23 ultra,also got a Samsung case and buds pro 2 free with it and a 300 pound adidas voucher!!Samsung UK deals are amazing.If i went fir the 12/512 model it woumd have cost 200 more and i see no real point in more than 8gb of ram on a smartphone for at least the next five years.
At one point 128GB meant lot of space nowadays people need 512GB like seriously why do we need a hard drive in our phone. We are defeating the basic meaning of a phone.
I am using S20 FE for 2 years now. Now I am planning to upgrade the S20 FE to S23 Ultra. Since I am going to use for at least 3 years, is 12/512 the one to go for?
Hi, I saw you answered alot of comments so I was wondering if the 8gb and the 12gb matters for the speed of the phone? Will it change once the gb runs out? And Does it take alot of space for photos and games?
From experience.... if youre making just calls and basic stuff you wont notice a difference, with emulation or heavy games you might maybe possibly notice something rarely
What about the s23 Ultra with 1TB internal memory, and 16 GB working memory? i know that i ordered with those specs on line, at Samsung, and then got 12RAM.. I know it.. and i am pretty bummed out..
Hola, ¿Aún tienes el teléfono con 8GB de RAM? Quisiera que me confirmes si las aplicaciones en segundo plano se reinician cuando grabas en 4K o 8K con la cámara, a mí me pasa, ¿Será por la memoria RAM o es software? He hablado con Samsung y me dijo que la garantía no es válida por ese problema, creo que es una diferencia significativa para alguien que toma fotografías o graba vídeos.
I did it but it happens anyway, I even activated the RAM Plus. I just want to know if that problem happens in that version or is it just a software bug?@@TechthroughToni
Great demo. There is no 12 GB version available in The Netherlands anyways, at least atm. But after watching this I will feel just as good with the 8 GB one. Thanks! I didn't understand though, why the suggestion for the 512 GB version over 256 for instance?
Well yes and no , because if you have a flagship phone like the s23 ultra the 4gb of extra ram doesn’t really matter… in bidget devices ram matters more..
whitch one is better bro 256GB or 512gb and which one is bigger phone and which one is faster and whitch one is much bater can you tell me pls and whitch one to buy ?
here in my country 400 euro is the difference between 8 and 12, for TH-cam, photos, Netflix etc with almost no gaming did will see the difference day to day now? and what about in 2 years? thank you
@@TechthroughToni thank you very much you help me a lot, last question, I'm thinking to get the pro max 14, never tried ios but I like the interface,I don't care about rooting or extreme customization, s23u 12gb and iphone same price,take the risk?
@@SteliosMesogeios my only concern on 14 pro max is the toughness because with 1 drop I ended up braking the phone. If you will buy 14 pro max , put a case and screen protector immediately
I wish People would do real power hungry testing such as playing Genshin Impact for example. S22 Ultra is so tremendously bad at it, you can only use Low Option. Im dying to know if S23 can beat that or is as bad as S22
Hello, nice review. I usually not let any apps to work in backgroud. I usually clear all. And i only play pes 23 on phone. Would be a differencd bettween 8 gb ram version and 12 gb ram?
Thanks I bought the phone from Amazon without noticing is 8gb ram I thought I got scammed by Samsung as this flagship it should come with 12 GB ram but looks like there is no difference
When i go for the 8GB ram and I have like 6 GB ram in use is that going to slow down the phone? Bc i had the 12GB ram and 6 GB ram used with the 512GB version.
Hi! Is there a 16GB version on the s23 U? I just saw one for sale, it's the 512 gb version but I noticed it's written on the box that it has 16Gb of ram. Is that actually possible, or I'm I looking at a copy?
Not sure if you’ll get this or not but any updates 8 months in? Kinda want to go for the 12GB ram (plus extra storage) as I do like to play (lots)games on my phone and I do plan on having my phone for 3-5 years. Currently got an iPhone 11 and it’s showing its age. I have 124Gb on here atm so anything would be an improvement but not sure if id need extra or not but it’s always handy to have more. Just wanted an update to see how things were going
Tengo la versión de 8GB de RAM y solo he recibido más problemas que beneficios, las aplicaciones como TH-cam o Tiktok se cierran en segundo plano cuando intento grabar algo con la cámara o tomar una simple fotografía, el rendimiento de multitarea es mediocre ya que a veces es algo lento y tiene pequeñas trabas a la hora de intercambiar aplicaciones convirtiendo la experiencia en un desastre, el dispositivo se calienta generando que la batería se drene más rápido y el rendimiento de multitarea empeore... Activar la RAM Plus no ayuda. Si quieres tener una experiencia muy fluida consigue la versión de 12GB, esos 4GB de RAM adicional valdrán mucho la pena, lamentablemente yo elegí la versión de 8GB y ahora estoy asumiendo las consecuencias de mi ignorancia 😢 Soy un usuario exigente y mi experiencia es bastante mala.

Tengo el de 8GB de RAM y sí noto algunos tartamudeos ligeros, además de un pequeño calentamiento, y todo eso con uso básico
BRO AL IGUAL EL RAM DE 8 PUEDE DAR EL MISMO POTENCIAL DE JUEGOS O SI PIERDE O BAJA POTENCIA?
@@johnsilva7487 No baja potencia, pero es un dolor de cabeza las aplicaciones de multitarea y se calienta un poco por eso, haciendo que pierda velocidad y a veces tartamudée.
Yo no creo que haya tanta diferencia. Prefiero ahorrar dinero e irme al de 8gb
@@joelvazquez7 Si hay, en la versión de 8GB de RAM cuando abres la cámara y pones en vídeo en 8k, cualquier aplicaciones que esté en segundo plano aunque sea una se va a reiniciar abruptamente
Next time you do this again make sure you disable ram plus and clean all caches from the recovery menu
Also, mere speed comes from the processor, not the RAM
Have you noticed any difference during these 5 months? How much free ram did you have during these tasks on both devices? Regards!
Not a big difference, honestly difference is only if you play a lot of games and leave the games running in the background..
@@TechthroughTonihow about future proof, is 8gb ram good for the next 5 years

Only question now is whether photo processing is any different. Are hdr processing times or 200MP photo processing times any different?
It's the same
My geekbench result in single core is 1891 and in multi core is 4981 (512 gb, 12gb ram)
Hi. I dont game like at all on my phone. Mostly use social media, music and youtube. You think its ok to go with the 8GB 256 version? Thanks!
yes its good
damn, I just bought the s23 ultra 8gb for the same price as the 12gb
I didn't even know that the 8gb version exist, so I didn't notice that
me too :c
I think that when you heavily customize it with themes, live wallpaper etc.. you'll feel the difference between them
haha no
No you wouldn't. You'll only notice the extra ram if you have lots and lots of apps open. Otherwise ram doesn't influence performance.
@@Griffmister you will notice the difference after 3 years
@ihaswis610 by that time I will buy new s26 ultra
Still don't lol its not being utilized. People don't understand the phones are optimized around 8g. The extra ram just like on some computers sits there and can actually slow things down since it's not used much. People have this backwards all the time. It's also why the 8gb still got a better geekbench score lol. An extra 200 is nothing to sneeze at on multi core. Not just that but Samsung doesn't tell you the 12gb of ram in the phone is running at a slightly slower speed then the 8gb of ram. I mean come on you expected them to give you 4gb more of ram and at a faster speed? Only for 150more? Naw ain't happening again why the teats on the 8gb will always be a slightly ahead of the 12gb.
I got a new one 8/256 because it was way cheaper. Can't wait to see it...
why is the 12gb version slower? a higher ram pc is normaly faster but it is diffrent with phones i see? but why?
Well using a PC logic , 12 gb version might have 2 ram sticks instead of one. Maybe that's it.. i don't know
Also I think that ❤
I purchased both, and yes, there is a huge difference in day to day use. The applications last longer in the version with more ram, the 8GB version tends to close applications, get stuck and heat up. In fact, I'm surprised no one talks about this and allows themselves to be scammed like that.
@@TheMegaxxD the only difference between these two is in gaming when you play a big game ,12gb version handles it better
From this video it looks like the 8GB is doing somewhat better even though the 12gb should have the fast and newer memory
hello so i wish we had some load bearing activities on this. when pulling up a single website both dont need to struggle much and use much ram to do the operations in this video. however if he tried to connect these to dex i would say he would be able to see the difference then or if he pulled up multiple apps on each screen to see which hesitate or run a little better. as well as a very hard to run game. this is why i think you dont see much difference.
this is with my limited knowledge btw
I feel like the majority of people commenting don't understand what ram is.... its not for storing your photos and videos lol, it will make no difference at all to 99 percent of the samsung community. Its for gaming and running multiple things at once which not many people actually do. Even with 4gb you can still run multiple things at the same time. Wouldn't bother soending the extra money anyway, not many people will fill up the phone by the time they upgrade to the next one anyway.
Lol but who Buy an Samsung For do it? Buy the red Magic pro 8 hahaahah
I've been using the Samsung S23 Ultra with 8GB of RAM for a few months now and when I have several applications open the phone gets hot and slow, causing the battery to wear out. Have I have RAM Plus activated at 8GB and still the applications close when I open the camera, I'm not even a user who uses the phone to play, I only use social networks and applications and even so it heats up and slows down, making it seem like a mid-range...
Overheating can be caused by bad network connectivity. Happened to me when i was on a remote location
@@TechthroughToni I don't know, I just wish the phone was fluid, the battery lasted longer, it didn't get hot and the applications didn't close. Yes Honestly, it is a huge headache to deal with this phone that cost me more than 1000 dollars, I don't know what solution to give it.
@@controlzq check in settings - device care , what does it say? Any app draining the battery? Turn on auto-optimisation and check features there..
@@TechthroughToni It is not normal for a high-end phone to work this badly, sometimes it is fluid and other times slow, it frustrates me a little and sometimes I would like to return it but I can't. I'm thinking that my problem is because of the RAM, Samsung is too heavy for them to only put 8GB in a premium range , and although the RAM is faster and better than the previous generation, the quantity does matter and the consequences are performance.I have done some research and I have also seen that the 8GB version of the S22 Ultra was slow compared to its 12GB version, the same goes for the S23 Ultra, the processor is good but the amount of RAM limits it making the phone not able to use all its functions so it works better, it's just my hypothesis, since,I have had other Xiaomi phones where I have never experienced these problems... I have formatted the device and I still have the problem that applications like TH-cam, tiktok or others close drastically when I open the camera to record or take a photo, When I have many applications open, the phone heats up and becomes slow, but low-end type slow, it seems like I am using MediaTek, I don't feel like the processor is using all of its power.
If some words are not understood, it is because I am using a translator.
Siento que el de 12GB es mas lento que el de 8, incluso se nota demasiado cuando abre el panel edge en el de 12GB
Awesome video and first of its kind I see. Bur would like to see more heavy ram rams and multitasking like Dex.
They perform the same , only difference is when you have a lot of heavy games in the background

I love the music you picked out for this video. It was very satisfying to watch. I'm just upgraded today to a 256 but I don't know how much GBs it is. He just asked if I wanted the 256 with the tmobile special I didn't realize there was two choices in gbs.

The King Samsung
Hi, I saw you answered alot of comments so I was wondering if the 8gb and the 12gb matters for the speed of the phone? Will it change once the gb runs out? And Does it take alot of space for photos and games?
Ram memory is not like storage and doesn't run out
Space for games and photos depends on the user... If you are a heavy gamer go for 12gb version
I saw that the ram one the 256 is a 4.0 and the 512 12 ram is only a 3.2 on slot, is this why the 8gb ram looks cleaner as its actually upgraded slot
Maybe this is the reason why the 8gb version feels faster and better
From experience.... if youre making just calls and basic stuff you wont notice a difference, with emulation or heavy games you might maybe possibly notice something rarely
What about the s23 Ultra with 1TB internal memory, and 16 GB working memory?
i know that i ordered with those specs on line, at Samsung, and then got 12RAM..

Hola, ¿Aún tienes el teléfono con 8GB de RAM?

Tengo la versión de 8GB de RAM y solo he recibido más problemas que beneficios, las aplicaciones como TH-cam o Tiktok se cierran en segundo plano cuando intento grabar algo con la cámara o tomar una simple fotografía, el rendimiento de multitarea es mediocre ya que a veces es algo lento y tiene pequeñas trabas a la hora de intercambiar aplicaciones convirtiendo la experiencia en un desastre, el dispositivo se calienta generando que la batería se drene más rápido y el rendimiento de multitarea empeore... Activar la RAM Plus no ayuda. Si quieres tener una experiencia muy fluida consigue la versión de 12GB, esos 4GB de RAM adicional valdrán mucho la pena, lamentablemente yo elegí la versión de 8GB y ahora estoy asumiendo las consecuencias de mi ignorancia 😢 Soy un usuario exigente y mi experiencia es bastante mala.
