10 best smartphones in India with 2G RAM

New Delhi: RAM or Random Access Memory is a critical component of modern day smartphones along with the processing cores and dedicated graphics. This memory serves as middle man between the file-system, which is stored on the ROM, and the processing cores, in order to serve the information as quickly as possible. Critical files that are needed by the processor are stored in the RAM, waiting to be accessed. These files could be game graphics or application data. Clearly, in choosing a smartphone it is important to check the size of smartphone's RAM. Unsurprisingly, the more is better, as the larger the capacity the more information can be stored and accessed quickly by other subsystems. But the good part about smartphones is that they require a small amount of RAM (around 50 MB), and so lots of these applications can run simultaneously. However large amount of RAM are useful especially in graphic intensive games, 3D in particular.
