This is the same company that, by default, allocates some of your storage space as “RAM.”

Yes, it is essentially swap file, but they list it as RAM under settings like 6+2 RAM, which is at best misleading.

Samsung does the same with their “RAM Plus” thing

swap is a safety measure in case a device’s ram gets overloaded, it relegates a portion of your storage for use as “RAM”
