Turn Off RAM Plus
RAM Plus first made its debut on some low-end Galaxy A phones in 2021.
Samsung then expanded the feature to its flagship and high-end devices with One UI 4.0.
RAM Plus is not a replacement for your phone’s physical RAM despite its naming scheme suggesting otherwise.
By default, RAM Plus used 4GB of onboard storage on Galaxy devices.
With One UI 4.1, Samsung introduced additional options: 2GB, 6GB, and 8GB.
However, there was no way to turn off the feature.
In One UI 5, the company has added an option to turn off RAM Plus entirely.
It is better to turn off the feature and reclaim your gadget’s storage in such cases.
To turn off RAM Plus, navigate toSettings > Battery & gadget care > Memory > RAM Plus.
A restart is required to implement the changes.
