I recently bought a Redmi Note 12 5G from Back Market. The seller claimed the phone had 6GB RAM, but after receiving it, I found out it actually has only 4GB physical RAM, and the rest is just virtual RAM, which doesn’t really count or help with performance. The phone’s physical condition is good, but the RAM management is terrible — it can’t even keep a single app running in the background. I bought it mainly for gaming, but the performance is laggy and disappointing. Overall, I’m not satisfied with the purchase, especially because the RAM information was misleading.
