8gb ram multitasking

[Kamil]

Hey, I am on the last android 10 update but my phone 8/256 GB version behave more like 6 GB i mean ram usage is around 5,5 GB top (70%show in system developer options) and then the phone starts killing apps. Is this normal? I have usage of ram over 90 % on my older phone.?

Ofc I turn off all power management and optiflex for test that out but get same results.
Another issue Switching between apps is smooth and quick but after turn screen off for some time switching between apps gets laggy almost as apps get loaded from swap memory not ram oO.


I don't know how it was on android 9 because i update the system and do the format right out the box.

if it stays on 1gb that it's no that bad I have 8 GB and i can't get past 2Gb of free memory on android 10 lats update after a day of use.

Anders, another test and another mixed results and very strange one on manual i mean opening apps by hand I can't get lover that 2gb of last free ram but with some app to fill Ram was able to force it to about 70% (about, 1.5GB) of ram usage but it was very temporary and phone clear that in minutes to even it to 2Gb of last free ram. This is still bad because on fresh adnroid day one as you can see in this thread phone easily go under 1,4 GB of free ram even closer to 1gb and behave very different i mean way better less aggressive in multitasking and app killing. 

this are my screens from manual try to pass that last 2 gb as you can see i get slightly lower than 2 gb and immediately go up to 2 gb.

Kamil, what do you want me to say? I've tested ASUS ZenFone 6 with both 6GB and 8GB VS other phone brands with the same sizes and they all behave the same. Your problem is not with our RAM management but Androids RAM management which is managed by Google. I declare this thread closed because there's no reason to discuss it any further.
