RAM Plus dynamically allocates storage to function as additional RAM when needed. While this can be beneficial for many users, some prefer to disable it for various reasons, such as optimizing system behavior or troubleshooting performance issues.
In this article, we’ll walk you through the process you need to go through to disable RAM Plus on your Samsung Galaxy S25, S25+ / S25 Ultra.
RAM Plus is a feature that allows your device to use a portion of its internal storage as extra memory (RAM) when the system detects heavy multitasking or high memory usage. This can help in managing apps more efficiently, especially on devices where RAM might be a limiting factor.
However, using internal storage as a substitute for physical RAM can sometimes lead to slower performance since storage memory is not as fast as actual RAM.
