It absolutely is a gimmick. Internal storage is orders of magnitude slower than RAM. Free RAM is wasted RAM, you want as much stuff in RAM as possible for peak performance.

im very loathe to say this ,but,it has made a huge difference ,apps are now very smooth when more than say 2 are open ,scrolling is smooth ,the one app i use for diagnostics no longer stutters and shudders .system resources is no longer complaining,i could watch tiktok without the phone stopping on Lte.havent had to go the aeroplane route since yesterday ,so,so far so good .I have been told the way Miui14 uses ram is very aggressive ,dont know im not a software engineer for Redmi ,but hopefully it was the problem.
hmm that's interesting, glad it works for you, I have no idea why my result is so weird, I will try switching it on again if I ever need the additional ram in the future.

Nice, no updates for mine though, but I will assume it is already latest since the china miui rom normally gets the updates first. *fingers crossed*

after the update the phone was shuddering again and took a few seconds to open settings .within a minute was smooth and working again ,maybe the extended ram takes a few seconds to populate ?
working very nicely now .

Hi all, got a strange one here that started 2 days ago after I rebooted my Note 12 Pro normally. The phone thinks that the reboot was a factory reset for some reason - all installed apps seem to be working fine and nothing looks out of the ordinary or missing form a functionality perspective...

Just going by the pics on gsmarena, the rear camera setup seems taller and narrower on the 11, and on the bottom edge the mic hole is on the opposite side of the charge port.
Just trying to find a flip type cover for the Note 12 Pro 4g , something like this:

But - the only one that seems similiar in profile is the 11 Pro, e.g.:

Never mind this, I've just realised that the new norm in descriptions seems to be that 5G models are unspecified, whereas 4G models are labelled as such. the Note 11 Pro and Note 12 Pro 4G appear to be physically identical externally.
