As we all know, our device has 768 MB of RAM, so I wonder why we just can use 624MB?

Is Samsung going to update JB 4.2.2 for us ? because our GB ROM uses 555 MB RAM, JB 4.1.2 uses 624 MB RAm ==> JB 4.2.2 uses 768 MB RAM, doesn't it?

There is only 624 Listed because the rest is used by our GPU I would guess. I don't think that we'll get 4.2.2 update. Because we are just a little mid range phone and not a flagship like the s4!

Modules and cpu make use of memory as well, but this is hidden from view to the system so it doesn't show. We do actually have the 768 MB tho :D
for 4.2.2, CM 10.1 and the custom roms built on it are all good, but i don't expect samsun to release 4.2.2 (or 4.3 even) anytime soon either

if GPU used RAM, then why MiUI v4 has 768 MB of RAM ?

and I remember having read about samsung 4.2.2 update list and this list included our device, I have a link but it's written in Vietnamese, you can use google translate to read it
