Check out these budget-friendly smartphones with 12GB RAM

 RAM is one of the most critical yet overlooked smartphone components. It provides smartphones instant access to memory, so you can switch between apps and games and multitask smoothly with reduced lagging. The formula for RAM is straightforward: the more RAM you have, the more processes and apps you can run at once.

Most users typically use phones with 4- 6 GB RAM. However, with the complexity of multitasking and resource-hungry games, this standard RAM will not be able to keep pace and thus lead to slowness and frequent lagging. Many users now turn to 12GB RAM phones to gain the performance edge.
