“Why is Best Buy advertising this phone with 24GB of RAM, when Motorola says it only has 8GB of RAM?”

1-2 of 2 Answers

• Hi NoFool, Thank you for your inquiry. The Moto G Power 5G 2025 phone comes with 8GB of built-in RAM. However, with RAM Boost, the phone can use a portion of the internal storage to virtually expand the RAM up to 24GB total (8GB physical + up to 16GB virtual). Best Buy’s listing refers to this maximum combined RAM capacity when RAM Boost is enabled. This feature helps enhance multitasking and overall performance, especially during heavy use, but it’s important to note that only 8GB is physical RAM. You can visit this link for the phone's specifications here: https://www.motorola.com/us/en/p/phones/moto-g/moto-g-power-2025/pmipmhi39mv?pn=PB640006US. -Mitch

• You can turn on ram boost, which dedicates space off the SD card to use as paging memory. I turned that on as soon as I got the phone
