discuss What's the least RAM you can use?

Years ago when I haven't started using sophisticated smartphone, I could careless about RAM storage but now, things have changed.

I can't use any smartphone with a RAM storage less than 6GB. If I do, the phone is going to be lagging which I don't like.

What's the least RAM you can use?

My current phone has 4GB RAM, am I am able to manage it like that. But my next phone has to be 6GB RAM at least.

I done think that I can use a device that is less than 4GB RAM. With the level of activities that I do with my gadgets, any device with less amount of RAM would be very frustrating for me to use.

I guess the minimum requirement needed to achieve smooth phone performance is 6GB of RAM. A mobile phone will operates slowly when memory capacity drops below this level.

I have 16 GB of memory on my laptop, so it'll be quite a while before I run out of memory (I have Photoshop to Lightroom to Aftereffects to Chrome with 28 currently active tabs open now with 5 GB memory to spare).

On my servers, that's a different thing. I try to keep the most minimalist settings possible for CPU power, RAM, and storage. I know that I can attach another drive to my instance, which is cheaper than bringing up a larger storage drive in the first place, or use Object Storage instead, so I don't elect to get a lot of storage first. However, there's no way around selecting a permanent setting of 1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB, 8 GB ... RAM for the instance.

As Elasticsearch 8 (which allows for auto-complete for searches on XenForo) requires 4 GB RAM, there's no way around that. However, you can elect to use Elasticsearch 7 which doesn't have this limitation on 2 GB RAM, and allocate 1 GB RAM to the system and 1 GB RAM to Elasticsearch. Why pay $30 more for a system that can support it when you can just optimize what you have to make it work?

If you have lots of apps and files taking up the RAM space, the phone will work fine without any lagging. It's why I don't leave any unnecessary apps which I'm not making use of in my phone more than 48 hours.

The least amount of RAM that I can use is 4GB RAM and that in itself is just management and not ideal. With web3 apps, one needs at least, 6GB of RAM for any device to run very well.

I honestly don't know the least amount of ram that I can use. My iPhone came with 32gb and I don't use nearly that much. I also have 200gb of iCloud storage.
