Google continues with its flagship smartphone Pixel 10. However, most people, when discussing Pixel 10, will talk about its hardware features-having less RAM than other flagship smartphones. The sole reason given by Google is AI or "Artificial Intelligence".

Why Does the Google Pixel 10 Have Less RAM?

Comparatively, in contrast to the trend of most flagship phones such as those with RAM ranging from 12 GB to 16 GB, Pixel 10 is either 8 GB or 12 GB, based on the models, raising the question- "Why did it put less RAM in their devices?"

The secret lies within the new software optimization without the new AI. This is what makes a company use an AI-based processor to manage and improve performance in memory, so the phone with less RAM maximizes efficiency in performance.

How Does AI Reduce The Requirement for RAM?

The company's own Tensor chip is aimed at performing tasks involving AI, which permits this chip and software algorithms to run applications smartly in the background, kill unnecessary processes, or optimize memory allocation according to the user's behavioral patterns.
That way, more RAM will not be needed, and the battery will therefore last longer. Many of these tech-savvy individuals say that no matter how advanced AI gets, nothing beats more RAM, especially for those who play heavy and/or edit videos, and multitask more.



Yet, the majority of its target users will be people who use such applications offering AI-feature enhancements more than spending time with their phones, such as Magic Editor, Live Translation, or Call Screening.
Hence, for them, the company's decision might just well be a rational one.
