For this gadget also, 2GB DDR3 RAM is a great fit for 1.5Ghz 64-bit Octa-Core processor.
Both the RAM configurations are apt for their processor architectures. But, there is a chance of improving the usage of Yureka’s 64-bit processor to it fullest by increasing the RAM(which is not possible) while the processing capacity cannot be improved to the extent that of Yureka’s, in case of ARM’s Cortex A7.
Both the devices supports the expandability of memory through external memory cards up to 32GB.
