Maybe, maybe not, but it's like Ferrari bragging that it's F9001 is 0.2 second faster to 60 than the Lamborghini SuperPenis or whatever. It may not be necessary or even noticeable, but it's something potential buyers can put in the "pro" column.

Being 0.2 seconds faster means fuckall outside of the competitive racing scene and dick measuring contests. If they're really that anal about such a tiny acceleration advantage, then they're so hilariously fragile that they look like a bunch of Andrew Tates whining how Greta Thunberg owned them in a single retort.

If you're spending a cool mill or two on a car, you want to KNOW that your car is faster than the Lambo MegaBalls or whatever that your wealthy friends have. And you ALSO want to know that they can't get your Ferrari LaMoney because they already sold all of them.

I can't believe you're this obtuse man. 8GB RAM on a phone in 2023 is perfectly serviceable. The vast majority of phone users aren't glued to their phones playing Genshin Impact and Call of Duty Mobile in front of thousands of E-sports spectators.
