Apple devices have always been characterized by being capable of work perfectly with less RAM. The iPhone XS Max is managed by 4 GB of RAM, being Apple's smartphone, along with the XS, with more memory inside if we compare it with all previous versions and not counting the iPad Pro.
Having a larger amount of RAM, allows the system not to be forced to continually close applications according to your needs, since iOS automatically takes care of closing the applications according to your needs. Samsung's Galaxy S10 + is available in two versions: 8 and 12 GB of RAM. If you want to see the performance compared to the XS Max, I invite you to continue reading.
On Android, memory is everything, if not almost everything. Overall device performance relies heavily on how much memory you have, allowing you to not only keep apps open longer, but also quickly reopen them without waiting for initial load times.
A good proof of this, we find it in the video that we show you on these lines. In this video, we can see the operation of the Samsung Galaxy S10 +, a terminal managed by the Qualcomm's Snapdragon 855 and 8 GB of RAM.
This video does not show how the combination of the new Qualcomm processor with the 8 GB of memory, makes the device moves freely by opening and closing applications. In fact, most of the time, it is able to open applications from scratch and previously opened, in less time than the iPhone XS Max.
Regardless of the numbers Geekbench throws out of this device, what the user really looks at is the visual performance of the device, not the amount of processing you can do with one or more cores. What is clear is that both the iPhone XS Max and the Samsung Galaxy S10 + are great terminals for anyone who is looking for a high-end smartphone that will last a few years.
