Several smartphone brands have released devices priced between Rp3.2 million and Rp3.9 million that feature 8GB of physical RAM and expandable virtual memory reaching up to 24GB, Radar Cirebon reported. These models from Infinix, Redmi, Motorola, Tecno, and iQOO target users prioritizing multitasking, photography, and battery endurance within a mid-range budget.
Physical RAM versus Virtual Expansion
While these devices advertise capacities up to 24GB, the increase is achieved through virtual RAM. Radar Cirebon notes that this feature utilizes a portion of the internal storage rather than adding physical hardware. Because virtual RAM is slower than physical RAM, it assists with multitasking but does not match the speed of dedicated memory modules.
Infinix, Moto and Tecno offer varying device features
The available options vary by primary utility, ranging from high-resolution cameras to oversized batteries. Disway reports that the Infinix Note 50 Pro serves as the most affordable entry point, priced at approximately Rp3.2 million to Rp3.4 million. It features a 6.77-inch curved AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, a 108MP camera, and 256GB of storage.
For users requiring 5G connectivity, the Moto G57 Power 5G is priced at Rp3.45 million.
The Tecno Camon 40 Pro 5G, priced at Rp3.75 million, focuses on photography. Radar Cirebon and Disway both confirm it uses a 50MP main camera with a Sony LYT-700C sensor and Optical Image Stabilization (OIS). It also includes an 8MP ultrawide lens and a 50MP front-facing camera.
The iQOO Z10 is the most expensive option at an estimated Rp3.9 million.
