NEW DELHI: Moto G57 Power's advertised memory expansion to 24GB uses RAM Boost alongside 8GB of physical RAM. Motorola's model guide explains that RAM Boost uses phone storage to extend memory and requires a restart after enabling it. Read that distinction before comparing the expanded figure with another handset's hardware specification.
| Moto G57 Power memory check | What Motorola documents |
|---|---|
| Physical RAM in official specification | 8GB LPDDR4X |
| Expanded headline figure | Up to 24GB with RAM Boost |
| Setup route | Settings, System, Performance |
| After enabling RAM Boost | Restart the phone |
| Separate feature | Smart app launch |
Separate installed RAM from the expanded total
Motorola's official specification describes the hardware RAM first, then adds the expanded figure with a RAM Boost qualification. Keep both parts when recording the specification. Writing only the larger number removes the information needed to understand how that total is reached.
The specification opened for this guide is Motorola's UK model support page, which warns that some specifications vary by market. Indian owners should therefore match their own box and device details before borrowing regional details such as storage capacity or SIM configuration. The RAM Boost procedure here comes from Motorola's guide for the G57 Power itself.
For someone comparing phones for study, work messages and media, this prevents an easy mistake: counting an expanded memory claim as a separate hardware variant. A product description should identify the installed memory and storage independently, with any expansion feature written alongside them. The largest printed memory total cannot answer all those questions.
Find the performance controls
Open Settings, then System, then Performance. Motorola's guide describes separate controls for Smart app launch and RAM Boost. The first learns which apps you use most and manages memory to help them open faster. The second uses phone storage to extend RAM.
Enable RAM Boost if you want to try it, then restart the handset to apply the setting. Save unfinished work before restarting. When the phone comes back, return to the same screen and check the selected option rather than relying on memory of which switch you changed.
For a useful comparison, change only the relevant setting and return to the apps you normally use. Check whether your own switching between those apps becomes more comfortable. This is an observation method for the owner, rather than a benchmark result or a promise that every application will run faster.
Keep the phone's other hardware in perspective
The G57 Power is built around Qualcomm's Snapdragon 6s Gen 4 platform, with a large battery and a Full HD+ display that supports up to 120Hz. Those are separate specifications. Enabling RAM Boost does not change the processor, display resolution or installed physical memory listed for the handset.
Motorola's global announcement gives the battery's typical capacity as 7,000mAh and identifies a Sony LYTIA 600 main camera system. For an owner recording lectures, taking family photos or carrying media for travel, that combination makes it sensible to consider memory settings alongside the space needed for everyday files.
The storage used by a memory feature remains a distinct issue from the size of the installed RAM chip. Before changing settings, look at how much local space you need for your own material. Avoid reorganising or deleting files merely to make a headline memory number look larger.
Do not turn a setup feature into a performance guarantee
Motorola markets RAM Boost as a performance aid, but the documents read for this report do not provide a measured app-opening improvement for this owner's Indian handset. There is no basis here for claiming a particular percentage gain, a gaming frame-rate increase or equivalence to a phone with the expanded total installed as physical RAM.
If a specific app still misbehaves, describe that app and the repeated action that fails. A phone-wide memory headline is too broad to diagnose an isolated problem. Record the software version and setting used so that a later comparison is meaningful.
The practical takeaway for an existing G57 Power owner is to use the documented switch deliberately and preserve the distinction between hardware and expansion. That makes both product comparisons and support conversations clearer, particularly when someone else in the household is helping interpret the specification.
