Xiaomi could be giving its lower-end smartphones a way to boost their RAM - Android

According to a report, it seems that Xiaomi is working on a feature for its lower-end smartphones that could help give its RAM a bit of a boost.

One thing in common in lower-end smartphones is that in order to make them more affordable, companies compromise on certain specs like the amount of storage and RAM. This is a quick and easy way to save on costs, but this can also be detrimental to the user as some apps might not be compatible due to the lack of RAM.

The good news for Xiaomi smartphone users is that according to Kacper Skrzypek, the unofficial Polish translate for Xiaomi’s MIUI, it seems that Xiaomi is working on a cool new feature that will help boost the amount of RAM in its lower-end smartphones. How does this work? Basically by enabling the feature, it will take memory from your phone’s physical storage – ROM – and use it for RAM.

Update: just managed to activate this menu on my phone. It isn't officially supported by any released Mi phone for now (requires 2 props to work). 1 GB is set for test by myself. pic.twitter.com/AfhTnTX3vA
