It used to be smartphones with more than 4GB of RAM is considered a luxury rather than the norm as flagships from as late as two years ago, like Samsung Galaxy S9, only have 4GB of RAM. Improvements in manufacturing technology have made it possible for non-flagship smartphones to include bigger RAM to meet the ever-growing expectations of our smartphones. Right now, 6GB RAM seems to be a sweet spot to run the latest version of Android in 2020.

I hope yugatech writers can provide a specific article for smartphones under 15k that can run Genshin Impact because that is technically one of the most played game right now and most of the gamers on phone will have trouble finding out the right smartphone to which the game can be compatible with. Sooner or later, this would be the recommended game to go on a “smartphone gaming review” if the phone can handle it or not.
