Redmi Note 4 | 3gb Or 4gb Ram

[copykate]

thinking about buying redmi note 4 with snapdragon 625 for eu market but still can't decide between 3 and 4 GB RAM version, so let's assume that I will be running android 7.0 and MIUI 8 or 9(correct me if I'm wrong but there is no official MIUI9 global for this phone but it's going to be announced) I'm going to use this phone mostly for reddit, news apps, google maps, youtube, browser, some music, apps to open pdf files and other utility apps, some gaming and I don't use any social media apps at all from all the feedback that I gathered 4GB is not optimal for me because that 1GB will just sit there doing nothing since snapdragon 625 won't utilize as much operational memory, can someone help me on that matter here

EDIT: price difference is about 50$ in my country

The three gb is usually enough for most people, especially when not constantly running multiple social media apps. More ram will allow more apps to be open at any one time, perhaps. Some games might also benefit. More ram is always good for future proofing. I wouldn't pay too much of a premium now though.
