The OnePlus 3 has 6GB of RAM, but people noticed that it doesnt keep as many apps in RAM as they expected. Carl Pei, co-founder of OnePlus, has addressed concerns about this on Twitter.
.@LucaDuci we have a different strategy for RAM management that benefits battery. We think this is the best user experience.

First off, he says that limiting the number of background apps is to optimize battery life. Posters on XDA Developers have shown you can change build.prop to allow more background apps, but Pei points out theres more to RAM management than that.
And to question "then why have 6GB of RAM at all?" the co-founder says the camera and some other modules make full use of the available RAM. The OP team is e xploring further optimizations too.
.@leoside since 6GB RAM is new to Android, theres still lots to explore. Team is optimizing for further enhancements.

The relevant source code for the OnePlus 3 has been published, so third-party ROMs can be developed with altered RAM strategy.
.@LucaDuci for those who dont agree, weve released device tree and kernel on 0day. This is a parameter that can be modified in framework.

It remains to be seen if these ROMs will perform better than what the OnePlus team comes up with. While Android was optimized to run on as little as 512MB of RAM back in the KitKat days, it doesnt seem l ike Google has done anything on the opposite issue - lots of RAM. This raises questions about the rumored phones with 8GB.
