RAM Usage

[shawnaye]

Hey guys, planning to get an 8T, but deciding between 8 or 12gb.

How much RAM is OxygenOS using upon fresh startup? As in after closing all apps running.

Wouldnt be much. 8 or 12GB is more than enough to run a phone comfortably.

yeah my current s20, after opening a few apps and 2 games which i toggle back and forth, ram usage is at 8gb now. so i'm curious if 8gb with OxygenOS would still be comfortable.

Yep. Not much difference betwwen oos and one ui
They are just both edited versions of android.

The RAM is available, but after looking through searches looks like oneplus sucks at ram management.

The android 11 update made it worse now consuming 3.5GB of ram. I personally think that is really annoying but yeah....
3.0GB free

I average 40% free of 8 GB over 24 hours.

Most of the RAM is cache. Don't worry, 8 is enough.

It's actually good that System is taking up more memory. This means the UI will be much quicker.

Oxygen OS uses ram to be fluid and speedy. Free ram is useless ram
