Virtual memory, RAM plus, Memory extension, Extended RAM:
What is RAM Plus?
As Samsung defines it, RAM Plus is a feature on your Galaxy phone that provides intelligent memory expansion by using the storage as virtual memory. With more memory, you can open more apps in the background and launch apps faster.
But recently many articals says it slows down mobile phone, draining battery fast, few other mobile performance related issues when virtual memory is enabled.
How to turn off the RAM Plus (Virtual RAM) feature in Samsung phones?
- Open your device’s settings and go down to ‘Battery & device care'
- Tap on the option and then tap on ‘Memory’
- Once the ‘Checking’ process completes, you’ll see the option ‘RAM Plus’ at the bottom. Tap on it.
- Now, click on the switch at the top to turn the feature off. If it prompts you to restart the smartphone, tap ‘Restart’. Once rebooted, the feature will be turned off.

Infact virtual ram will slow down the phone instead of making it faster.
It has been observed that virtual memory operates at much slower speeds than physical RAM. If the OS juggles data between virtual memory and RAM continuously, it can slow down the smartphone considerably.

There's nothing like virtual "ram" in industry, here's the detailed info, the so called virtual "ram" existed for sole purposes of PCs having low RAM while in windows it's called pagefile and while on linux kernel it's called swap, irony android is based on linux but they call it virtual "ram", while the ideal ram size without any swap or pagefile is 32gb it's recommended to be enabled for low ram PCs(except on linux, it's optional) it's behaviour is just like a back bench and the os offload least used data there, but on mobile phones this isn't worthy of being used due to ufs storage limitations and Android processors being slow it's just a mess to deal with.

I have a galaxy. Never seen such battery hungry phone. Vampires are better, they suck blood only in the night. I disabled the VRAM. May be, I will inform after 1 week about the result.

Virtual RAM is a gimmick, and the latest phones already have enough physical RAM to hold everything in the background. More RAM does not necessarily increase performance significantly, as its main purpose is to store data temporarily.

Probably that feature is there to create a swap file to address low memory situations while multitasking or playing games on devices low RAM devices. Keep it disabled and only turn it on when you are playing games.

Virtual RAM is a marketing gimmik. Don't turn ON that feature in any phone. It is of no use.
