Higher RAM Capacity = Higher Idle RAM usage??

[Low Profile Gamer]

I just noticed that in Android 6.0, phones with 6GB RAM has around 3.5GB free, which means more than 2GB is being used.

While 2GB RAM Phones has about 1GB free, which means only 1GB is being used.

I think it also happens on PCs but I found it to be more defined on Android.

Why does this happen?

The OS uses the RAM to cache more of it's processes. If it has more RAM to work with it will cache more.
