Best 6GB RAM Mobile Phones in India (June 2023)

By Dhriti Datta

Smartphones in 2023 are pumping up their phones with ridiculous amounts of RAM – some even going up to 12 or 16 GB. It is hard to believe that just about a decade ago, phones used to come equipped with merely 512 MB or 1 GB RAM. 3 to 4 GB of RAM is often considered the bare minimum in 2023 on budget phones. How much RAM you require on your smartphone depends on your use case. If you rarely multitask or use intensive apps, then you don’t need an abundance of RAM, however, if you are a power user, at least 6 GB RAM is a safe bet. Lack of enough RAM can cause your Android device to start shutting down older apps in its memory, meaning if you want to go back to an app you’ve used some time ago – chances are it may have shut down to make space for newer apps. There are multiple phones on the market with 6 GB RAM. The best one is, undoubtedly, the Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max and you’ve also got other options across budgets including the iPhone 14, Google Pixel 6a, Redmi K50i, Redmi Note 12 Pro, POCO X5 Pro, iQOO Z7, and Realme 10 Pro.

How is RAM used in a smartphone?

To figure out how much RAM your phone needs, you need to first understand what it means. RAM or Random Access Memory is essentially short-term digital storage or ‘memory’ that computers, including smartphones, use to store data of active apps. It is extremely fast when it comes to read and write speeds compared to the internal storage of a phone. RAM on phones is used to store data of running apps, so more RAM means you can run more apps in the background without hitches.

Is 6 GB RAM good for a phone?

Apple’s software optimisations are excellent, so phones such as the iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPhone 14, and iPhone 13 Pro Max are able to multitask well with 6 GB RAM. On the Android side of things, in our opinion, 6 GB RAM is good enough for most budget to mid-range phones, while on high-end phones, we recommend 8 GB RAM for better multitasking experience and also to future-proof your purchase.

What is the best 6 GB RAM mobile phone?

The best smartphone with a maximum of 6 GB RAM is the iPhone 14 Pro Max. While Apple never reveals the amount and type of RAM used, teardowns of the device indicate it is 6 GB and that it features LPDDR5 RAM which is faster compared to the LPDDR4X RAM used in the iPhone 13 Pro Max. The iPhone 14 also comes packing 6 GB of RAM but rumours indicate that it still used LPDDR4X RAM, unlike its older sibling.

Which phone is the best for gaming with 6 GB RAM?

The answer to that would be the iPhone 14 Pro Max with its ludicrously fast Apple A16 Bionic SoC and speedy LPDDR5 RAM. However, for gaming, you could also consider some budget and mid-range Android options such as the Redmi K50i, iQOO Z7 5G and POCO X5 Pro 5G.

The Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max is the best smartphone you can get with 6 GB of RAM. Apple usually doesn’t disclose the capacity and type of RAM used by their phones, but teardowns of the iPhone 14 Pro Max indicate that the device comes packing 6 GB of LPDDR5 RAM. iOS apps are built only for iPhones, unlike Android apps that are built for multiple devices from different OEMs. Therefore, even with lower RAM than other flagship Android phones on the market, iPhones are able to utilise the available RAM better. It’s no doubt that the iPhone 14 Pro Max is one of the most powerful smartphones on the market right now due to its software and hardware optimisations and the powerful A16 Bionic SoC, making this an easy recommendation for us that tops our list.

The Apple iPhone 14 also comes packing 6 GB of RAM like its older sibling, however, according to rumours floating around the tech community, this may be LPDDR4X RAM rather than the faster LPDDR5 RAM used on the Pro models. Nevertheless, the phone is still adept at multitasking without a hitch with minimal lag and stutter. The phone is powered by the older-generation Apple A15 Bionic chipset. This is a 5 nm processor that is still one of the most powerful ones on the market. So, if you’re a power user, looking for a phone capable of multitasking, gaming, and executing almost every possible task you can think of, the iPhone 14 is no slouch.

Courtesy of an iPhone 13 Pro Max teardown, we know that the phone uses 6 GB of LPDDR4X RAM from SK Hynix. Despite being a year old, the A15 Bionic is a beast of a chipset. The phone is capable of multitasking but it does tend to kill more apps in the background than an Android flagship, with say, 12 or 16 GB of RAM would. Nevertheless, for a phone with 6 GB RAM, this is still one of the most powerful ones you can buy on the market. Benchmarks tell part of the story, with the iPhone 13 Pro Max scoring 2256 in the GeekBench Single Core test and 5402 in the GeekBench Multi Core test. The chipset is also very power-efficient, and the screen-on time that you would get out of this phone is excellent. Overall, this is an excellent option to consider when looking for a 6 GB RAM phone.

Pros

Natural looking pictures and videos

Unrivaled performance

The Google Pixel 6a is a great choice for those who prefer a clean UI since it comes with Stock Android experience. The phone houses Google’s 5 nm Tensor chipset paired with 6 GB of LPDDR5 RAM. In our experience with the smartphone, we found that it performs exceedingly well as a daily driver. It can carry out multitasking without any hitches or forced app shutdowns. The phone’s chip performs well in benchmarks but it does not match up to the performance of the iPhone SE (2022) which comes with 4 GB RAM. Nevertheless, we got a decent score of 691272 in AnTuTu and 9758 in PCMark Work. The phone is also capable of playing intensive shooter games such as Call of Duty: Mobile at 60 fps without frame drops for a round or two. Post that, it can get a bit hot and the CPU also throttles a bit, so keep that in mind.

Pros

Stock Android experience

If you want the one of the best mid-range performers that also offers the best bang for your buck, there’s no phone you should consider other than the Redmi K50i 5G. The phone leaves its competition in the dust when it comes to raw performance. It sports the MediaTek Dimensity 8100 chipset which is a flagship-grade chipset under ₹25,000. The phone offers 6 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 128 GB UFS 3.1 storage on the base variant. The RAM standard is the same as the iPhone 14 Pro Max, which is excellent at this price. In fact, you can get your hands on the 6 GB variant of this phone for just ₹21,000. In our testing, the Redmi K50i powered through intensive games such as Call of Duty: Mobile, Apex Legends, and Genshin Impact without a hitch. The phone also proved its mettle by beating out competitors with the Snapdragon 870 and Snapdragon 778G processors with ease.

The Motorola Moto Edge 30 comes packing 6/8 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 128 GB internal storage, making it excellent for multitasking and daily usage. It houses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G+ processor. While this SoC isn’t as powerful as the Redmi K50i’s Dimensity 8100 chipset, it does significantly better compared to the regular Snapdragon 778G in benchmarks. While the POCO X5 Pro (with the regular Snapdragon 778G processor) scored nearly 520K in AnTuTu, the Moto Edge 30 raced ahead with a score of almost 600K. We saw the Moto Edge 30 perform consistently better in other benchmarks such as GeekBench and PCMark Work as well indicating that this processor will be able to do more heavy lifting than the non-Plus variant.

If you’re a mobile gamer, the POCO X5 Pro is a very good option with 6 GB RAM. The phone performs admirably when gaming with minimal heat and smooth frame rate. The only game where we saw it struggle a bit was Genshim impact where even high-end phones suffer. The phone houses the reliable Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G processor with 6 GB LPDDR4X RAM on the base variant. While we tested the 8 GB RAM variant, the 6 GB variant should also perform sufficiently well when it comes to multitasking since we faced absolutely no issues with our review unit. The phone only lagged behind the Redmi K50i and Moto Edge 30 in our tests that houses the Dimensity 8100 SoC and Snapdragon 778G+ SoC respectively.

Pros

Reliable performance
Crisp and vibrant AMOLED display
Long-lasting battery
Attractive looks

Cons

Bloatware
Mediocre camera tuning

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G is one of the better mid-range smartphones in India at the moment. It comes with 6 GB of LPDDR4X RAM, but there’s an 8 GB version as well that you can opt for. This isn’t the latest memory standard, but it is still plenty fast for the price. You can easily multitask and run intensive tasks as well with minimal lag. Although, at 6 GB of LPDDR4X RAM, you may face the issues of apps shutting down in the background when you open too many at once, but you can still run approximately 5-6 apps at the same time with ease. This RAM is paired with 128 GB of UFS 2.2 storage, which is pretty standard at this price. You’ve got the MediaTek Dimensity 1080 SoC that takes care of all the processing needs which is built on the 6 nm process. With this processor, you can expect AnTuTu scores of 450K+, which is decent at this price.

Pros

Solid build quality

Powerful Sony IMX 766 camera with OIS

Featuring a minimalist yet classy design, the Realme 10 Pro 5G packs 6 GB of LPDDR4X RAM on its base variant with 128 GB of UFS 2.2 storage. This is identical to the Redmi Note 12 Pro, however, on the Realme 10 Pro, you get the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 SoC instead. The Dimensity 1080 is a slightly superior processor in terms of raw power and shows up with a higher AnTuTu score as well compared to the 695 which is why the Realme 10 Pro is behind the Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G on this list. With this phone, you also get dual 5G+5G support as well as a 120 Hz FHD+ display with extremely slim bezels. So, if you want a good-looking phone with decent power and 6 GB RAM, go for the Realme 10 Pro.

Pros

The iQOO Z7 5G is quite a powerful device at its current selling price. It features the MediaTek Dimensity 920 SoC which performs extremely well in most scenarios. The processor outputs really good numbers in benchmarks such as GeekBench and PCMark Work. You get 6 GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128 GB of UFS 2.2 storage on the base variant of the device. iQOO has also added Extended RAM 3.0, so your 6 GB RAM phone will get an additional 6 GB of virtual RAM that has been partitioned from your internal storage. While this memory isn’t as fast as real RAM, it does help in multitasking. iQOO says the phone can keep up to 27 apps open and running in the background. The phone is geared towards gamers and shows decent performance in intensive games such as Asphalt 9 and Call of Duty: Mobile with barely any lag or frame drops.

Pros

Slim and light form factor
Nice crisp AMOLED display
