More RAM, more life
While we put big importance to battery life and power-efficient processors, we should also give importance to RAM as well. Having more RAM would mean more memory for your apps, which means better multitasking and better overall phone performance. A higher RAM would mean a lot especially if you are running power-hungry games, and they complement with a good processor for a fuss-free gaming experience.
These days, smartphones have an average of 4GB of RAM onboard. However, that does not stop brands to take one step further and equip their phones with 6GB of RAM instead. Check out our list of notable smartphones equipped with an extra oomph of RAM. Do note that we only included those we have reviewed on the site, so if there are other 6GB RAM smartphones you can think of, do give us a heads up.
Doogee Mix
Having 6GB of RAM does not necessarily mean a phone should be expensive. That is the case of the Doogee Mix, as it has 6GB of RAM for Php 12,995. While we have mixed thoughts about the quality of its cameras, the Doogee Mix is no doubt an affordable alternative to the Xiaomi Mi MIX 2, which is also on our list.
