For basic social media and web browsing, yes. However, if you use the new on-device AI features (like real-time translation or image generation), 8GB is now considered the bare minimum. Most 2026 flagships have moved to 12GB or 16GB because AI models live in the RAM to stay fast. If you’re a multitasker, look for 12GB.

How do I stop AI “Post-Processing” from ruining my photos?
Many modern phones (especially Samsung and Google) “over-process” images to make them look bright. To get a natural look:
-
Go to Camera Settings and turn off “Scene Optimizer” or “Smart Enhancement.”
-
Shoot in Pro Mode or RAW. This saves the data exactly as the lens sees it, without the AI “painting” over your photo.

“Vibe Coding” is the 2026 trend of building apps using nothing but natural language via AI (like Replit Agent or Claude). Yes, you can do it on a phone! Use a mobile browser to access an AI agent, tell it what app you want to build, and it writes the code. It’s called “Vibe Coding” because you’re providing the vibe (intent), and the AI handles the syntax.

Is the 2026 RAM shortage raising phone prices?
Partially. The surge in AI-capable PCs and smartphones has caused a “high-bandwidth memory” (HBM) shortage. This is why we’ve seen a $50–$100 price hike on flagship models this year. Manufacturers are passing the cost of expensive AI chips onto the consumer.

iPhone 17 Pro vs. Samsung S25 Ultra: Which camera is better?
It’s a tie, but for different users.
iPhone 17 Pro: Wins for Video and “Skin Tone” accuracy. It’s the best for creators.
Samsung S25 Ultra: Wins for Zoom and “Macro” (close-up) photography. If you take photos of nature or distant objects, Samsung’s AI-assisted zoom is still king.

The “Market Squeeze.” As the cost of AI development and specialized hardware increases, smaller brands can’t compete with the massive R&D budgets of Apple, Samsung, and Xiaomi. Niche brands are pivoting to specialized hardware, like VR headsets or AI-wearables, where there is more room for growth.
