Ok, I couldn't find a proper yes or no answer on Google or DDG, so maybe devRant can help me.

Does the amount of ram a phone has impact battery life at all?

I'm trying to decide between the 6gb ram op5 and the 8gb op5, and I don't think ill actually need 8gb of ram and 128 gb of storage, so I'm probably going to go with the 6gb model. However, if either one has any sort of battery life advantage that's the one I'll buy.

If it's a single 8GB module rather than 2 4GB modules then this will actually save battery life I think. I'm not aware of any 8G single modules though so probably the 6G, I'd say just go with the 6G since you say you won't need much RAM.

Well if you use up all ram and open new application, it needs to close already open applications to free up ram, so it's going to cost processing power which will cost battery charge. But there's no way you're using up 6GB
