After some updates since release did you notice a performance increase? Or anything else that could be considered positive?
I’ve bought two for family members. I was surprised how fluid it is for a Samsung Midranger.
You can’t fix something that isn’t broken. Just deactivate the RAM Plus bs and you have a perfectly handy midrange phone.
Thanks kind Redditor. My phone even restarted faster after turning it off!
What’s ram plus?
Basically it uses some of ur storage as RAM. It is a SHITTY setting and needs to be turned off the moment ur phone is setup
And it’s useless
A bullshit setting that is by default turned on and makes your phone slower, hotter, and drains battery faster. Disable it, the phone will restart and will be faster. I haven’t tried this on S phones but the A53 and A54 get significantly faster by disabling this.
Lol wow… glad I saw this. I’ve had an A53 for over a year and just the other day was going through trying to free up some extra space - and in the course of looking through a bunch of menus and whatnot I saw this setting. When I read the little synopsis I thought oh cool that sounds like a good idea, but glad to know in practice it’s BS and I’ll be disabling it now. Wish I’d known about it when I first got the phone.
Plus, it also helps your phone storage die
If someone’s actually interested, ram plus is basically swap as far as i’m concerned, which is just some storage that the system can use as ram when the actual ram is full.
And storage is not as fast as ram, obviously
To my understanding, RAM plus mixes system storage in the RAM soup, and since it is a lot slower than RAM, the more system storage you select the slower your phone will become. It would have been ok to have if the system was capable to prioritize actual RAM cells and only use storage GB in case of RAM overflow, but the moment you allocate storage as RAM the system has no way of knowing which is which, and cell selection is random.
Where s that in settings?
Not the same phone. But my A53 is holding up fine.
I use it since launch
My A53 is still awesome as well! Love to hear that from another user lol. Seems like most people skipped this generation and went for the 52 (bad QC problems) or 54 (ugly to me lol).
Using the A52s 5g and A54 can’t really tell the difference, both are good no issues here.
it’s good. i did notice a slight performance increase in games and a geekbench test confirmed it got around 4% faster
How does it compare to s23
