i'd say it's no longer a problem. in the early days samsung struggled getting it right but more recently it's been fine. for reference i've used ram plus long term on the A54, S23 FE, ZFlip5 and S24 Ultra with no issues so far!
Thank you Man im using the A55 for 3 weeks now and im having a hard time finding that 24 hour mode, co'z we're using that 24 hr mode in our work, now i finally set my time to 24 mode, thnx for the tip
RAM+ sounds great on paper, but all you are doing is wearing out your phone's internal storage, which gets worn down by write cycles like any Sold State storage device. Not worth it, particularly given that performance is actually lower using it in most cases.
@@edeanichristianchigozie5683 RAM+ (or virtual RAM) is a feature on smartphones that uses a portion of the device's internal storage as additional RAM to enhance multitasking and performance. This feature temporarily allocates storage space to function like RAM, providing more memory for running apps and processes when the device's physical RAM is fully utilized. However, this can have a long-term impact on the phone's storage due to the nature of solid-state storage. Phone storage typically relies on NAND flash memory, a type of solid-state storage with a finite number of write and erase cycles (known as Program/Erase or P/E cycles). Each time data is written to or erased from the storage, it causes a small amount of wear to the storage cells. When RAM+ is active, the phone frequently writes data to and reads data from the internal storage to manage virtual RAM. This constant data movement results in numerous write and erase operations, which contribute to the wear and degradation of the NAND flash memory over time. While NAND flash storage employs a technique called wear leveling to distribute wear evenly across all storage cells, using storage as RAM can lead to high-frequency data writes to specific areas, causing those areas to wear out more quickly. Additionally, the process of paging-moving data between RAM and storage-occurs more frequently with RAM+, leading to even more write and erase cycles. As solid-state storage degrades with repeated writes, this increased activity can accelerate wear. Over time, the constant use of storage for virtual RAM may result in reduced performance, increased data errors, or even failure of the storage component. This is because, as NAND flash cells wear out, their ability to retain data deteriorates. While RAM+ can provide a performance boost in the short term, its reliance on internal storage for virtual RAM subjects the storage to more frequent write/erase cycles, potentially reducing the phone's storage lifespan. Users who heavily depend on RAM+ may notice these effects sooner, particularly if their phone has limited storage capacity or they run memory-intensive applications regularly.
Pretty decent but unfortunately, not wireless charging enabled but I hear there is a way around this issue (solution: Olixar Wireless Charger?). I also heard Samsung will support further Android O/S, right up to Android 18 - this needs confirmation.
4 years software updates and up to 5 years security updates. That is more than enough for me as I tend to upgrade in average of 2 years anyway. And that's using at least 2 different phones - a daily driver/work phone, and a flagship one. Better Samsung than any other phones from the PRC.
does it mean that when I already have built-in RAM of 8gb (as it was said in the specs of the phone), if I were to activate RAM Plus to let's say another 8gb. Will I have a total of 16gb RAM?
Gorilla armor is my favorite. Its not strongest but its just love❤❤❤❤ Gorilla victus is ok 1:42 but it not near the strongest. Gorilla does false claims. Xiomi glass And Huawei glass are the strongest
My new galaxy a55 support video stabilization only for full Hd 30 and not for full HD 60 and UHD. When i open my phone for the fist time, video stabilization is working for all video analysis.After updating my phone it works only in FULL HD 30...What happen?It's a new phone🤔
Thanks for the review on A55. I am thinking of buying one as i am a fan of Samsung phones. Is it true that the battery drains fast as one viewer mentioned. Thanks.
😀 thanks for great review. I just bought the A55 here in the Philippines and I can't send videos in Dual Record mode to my family. Any suggestions? thanks, John in Leyte.
Yeah.. the color is worst. I was scared when I first use tye selfie camera. My lips turned gray!! I thought i was sick !!! Hope they will fix this thru updates. I like the 60fps video tho.
I watched literally a 100 videos of people trying it's camera & comparing it with other phones cameras, it's very similar to the flagship phones, sometimes in some situations it performs a bit better, the only difference is the other phones have a bit more detail/sharpness & can zoom more (& keep more details/sharpness while being zoomed). If sometimes you don't like the colours you can just fix it with an editing app like Lightroom & for other things I heared they fixed it with the new update. But for a MIDRANGE phone, it's really good.
@@Geekception Still working on it. Where I lived for the last 25 years, there was no reception so I never had a phone. Moved to the city and I wondered what the fuss was.

thanks fam!
Bro why turn of auto FPS mode it's literally meant to brighten up videos in dark situations by dropping the frame rate to 30 FPS
becaus 30fps is low and laggy
@@salashka0102 would you rather have a " less smooth " properly exposed video or a smooth underexposed video ?
@@greg.dg_ underexposed video
Truly amazing work done by this channel ❤
thank you fam!
Nna what are your thoughts on RAM Plus slowing the device down and most especially reducing longevity of internal storage
i'd say it's no longer a problem. in the early days samsung struggled getting it right but more recently it's been fine.
for reference i've used ram plus long term on the A54, S23 FE, ZFlip5 and S24 Ultra with no issues so far!
@@Geekception thank you 😁. Any hit on battery life in your experience?
nope, I've not noticed
@@Geekception turning it back on on the A54. Gracias 🙏😁
I could literally listen to you, whole day.🤝❤️
aww 🥰❤️🔥
Thank you Man im using the A55 for 3 weeks now and im having a hard time finding that 24 hour mode, co'z we're using that 24 hr mode in our work, now i finally set my time to 24 mode, thnx for the tip
you're most welcome fam, glad i could help
I really enjoy your clip brother ,
You are the only one who cab explain and describe the phone in the best way. Your information is clear and true 🎉
The video and the information is amazing!
Also a recommendation, what about we do S22 ultra V/S A55 camera test?
i loved reading your comment. sadly i don’t have the S22 Ultra so I can’t really make a comparison
how about with the S24 Ultra? 😅
Earned a sub, good video! thanks for sharing!
aww, thanks so much for the sub!
4:46 I bought a Samsung A55 yesterday and the first thing I did was turn off RAM Plus!

Thank you 👍
What are your thoughts about the Galaxy A55?
No RAW pics without rooting. Based on A54 owners' anecdotal stories. 😅
Bad battery
Pretty decent but unfortunately, not wireless charging enabled but I hear there is a way around this issue (solution: Olixar Wireless Charger?). I also heard Samsung will support further Android O/S, right up to Android 18 - this needs confirmation.
@@a_sentimental_guy confirmed it will get 4yrs software update with Samsung and network provider here in PH
4 years software updates and up to 5 years security updates. That is more than enough for me as I tend to upgrade in average of 2 years anyway. And that's using at least 2 different phones - a daily driver/work phone, and a flagship one. Better Samsung than any other phones from the PRC.
How'd you remove the VOLTE showing beside your signal? I wanna remove it.
Nice explanation. I would like to know more abt how to get the setting & do best shooting in details on the camera function.
Not
Which other galaxy models has the telescope camera lens ? I dont know if to get the A55 or not
The white color and colors overall on my new A55 doesn't look great. Is there some settings to fix it
very interesting about RAM Plus, thanks for that
I can't setup my fingerprint, it go's to 20% and then it's stuck. How can I do it right?
Just use your fingers 😂
great video, definitely gonna sub.
hi please guide me on how i can take pictures and videos, i want to start a food channel on TH-cam and this a55 is the best i have
If 256gb of storage isn't enough, then insert a large enough memory card.
It has expandable storage 😊.
does it mean that when I already have built-in RAM of 8gb (as it was said in the specs of the phone), if I were to activate RAM Plus to let's say another 8gb. Will I have a total of 16gb RAM?
Complete and well thought-of content, great affordable phone too!
ayyyy, thank you fam ❤️
Can you make an video for the heating test and battery test?
Gorilla armor is my favorite.
Its not strongest but its just love❤❤❤❤
Gorilla victus is ok
1:42 but it not near the strongest. Gorilla does false claims. Xiomi glass
And Huawei glass are the strongest

I didn't know you have to change the ram 😂 Thanks man.

Not in my experience no. Battery life was great
Thanks

Why not just use the "Smart Switch" to transfer all your data and settings from the previous device??? 🤦♂️
i like keeping each device fresh. it means i get to use it from a clean slate and i can explore it better
never turn on RAM plus. period.
Why tho
