Smartphones are getting bigger and more powerful day by day. There was a day when 512mb of RAM was considered to be a top-notch hardware component in phones but now that figure is nothing these days. 4GB RAM is a benchmark for high-end phones if your phone doesn’t feature 4GB RAM then it isn’t up to the mark, no matter how good the other hardware is.
