Disabling RAM Plus on Android DevicesSolved

Hey @elliot,

I’ve looked into this, too! Unfortunately, RAM Plus isn’t something you can control through MDM yet. Samsung hasn’t exposed any APIs for it in Knox or Android Enterprise, so we’re stuck with manual settings for now.

You can go to Settings > Battery and Device Care > Memory > RAM Plus and set it to None.

Yep, same here. We tried ADB commands to toggle it off, but Samsung blocked those in One UI 5 and above. Rooting might work, but it’s not worth the risk on corporate devices.

The only real workaround is to disable it manually before enrollment.

Sorry if this is a basic question, but what exactly is RAM Plus? I keep seeing it on newer Samsung models, but I’m not totally sure how it works. Does it actually improve performance?

@amy_taylor,

RAM Plus is Samsung’s version of virtual RAM. Basically, it uses a portion of the internal storage as temporary memory when the device runs out of physical RAM.

So, if your phone has 8 GB RAM and RAM Plus is set to 4 GB, the system can use up to 12 GB in total (8 GB RAM + 4 GB INTERNAL STORAGE) – though the extra part is slower than actual RAM. It helps a bit when you’re multitasking heavily, but for most users, the difference is barely noticeable.

Thanks, everyone, for the detailed insights. Looks like there’s no remote way to disable it yet, so I’ll go ahead with manual configuration before enrollment. Hopefully, Samsung will add enterprise control for this in a future update.
