Talking to the StarsI am hoping to see a better telephoto camera on the Z Fold 7. It's been the same 3x they have been using since the S20 series. That would make that 7 yrs old!

Talking to the StarsMore RAM ≠ faster RAM. Faster RAM simply means faster RAM. Honestly, haivng 16Gs of RAM would be total overkill for the vasty majority of smartphone users, especially considering the processing power on the SD 8 Elite. The S25 already uses the LPDDR5X (4800Mhz) and is currently the fastest RAM on smartphones and the next iteration is unknown when it comes oout. Unless one isf using like 10 AI modes and some actual video/super hi-res photo editing programs on the devices, 12Gs is more than enough. Even then one would need to be using pro level AI functions, not the general Gemini, Copilot, Perplexity etc stuff.
Here is a fun fact, unused RAM is wasted RAM. What would better is if Samsung actually produced better camera hardware (as you correctly noted since the S20 series) and in the US, Samsung, Google, Apple etc currently don't even have actual 1" size camera sensors, or super fast charging or even bigger batteries. Oneplus currently provides a 6000mAh battery with 80w wired and 50w wireless charging. Now if you really are using pro level multimodal needed programs at the same time with video editors etc, yes 16Gs would be be a good set to have.

Talking to the StarsIn the end would you not rather have better hardware for cameras, battery capacity & maybe even a faster CPU? I'm only asking because of the correct statement you made regarding the camera being abt the same since the S20. But if having more RAM not going to be used is an odd follow up to that if that is what is wanted.

Talking to the StarsRunning YouTube Music, Lyft (GPS) and the NYT games app at the same time, my phone will overheat to over 100⁰. If more RAM would drop that temperature it would be worth it.

Talking to the StarsIf those are the only functions of concern, 12gbs is far more than enough which means poor app optimization if it gets hot . YouTube gets the CPU hot because it stores a lot of data cached away but I've only noticed that issue in the s25. I never had that issue with my previous Samsung models.
That kinda tells me that the one ui 7 and 8 beta are holding cached data and not releasing it when RAM is needed elsewhere as RAM has worked as long as I've been working on Pcs {over 25 years). Also, your progs like lyft and NYT games run hard on ads and tracking. You can ask any hardware pro on smartphones or PCs that more RAM will only be needed mostly for more intensive apps like video/image editing etc. Ever since I started manually clearing out my YT data, it has not become hot since.
Still if you rather have more RAM than faster charging, larger batteries and better camera hardware that is what choice is about. I'm being honest that it is odd considering how RAM amounts function usung6 different applications, while having mentioned the near obsolete camera hardware.
