The Samsung Galaxy A17 5G comes with a feature called RAM Plus, which uses a portion of your phone’s storage as virtual RAM to enhance performance.
While this can improve multitasking, some users may prefer to disable it to save storage or maintain system behavior without virtual RAM. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to disable RAM Plus on the Galaxy A17 5G.
RAM Plus is Samsung’s virtual memory feature that extends your phone’s physical RAM using a portion of your internal storage. This allows the device to handle more apps running simultaneously. However, disabling it can help reduce unnecessary storage usage and may improve battery efficiency in some cases.
