It is difficult to say without describing your exact use. Using roads only maps? Using detailed maps? Using both (not recommended)? Using several regions or one only? Navigating by car long routes, navigating by bike or pedestrian routes more or less locally? If you have to prioritise, go for more RAM. I have Redmi Note 4X with 4 GB RAM and OsmAnd is working fine for me, my father has Redmi 4x with 3 GB RAM and is using OsmAnd without problems as well. He might not have as much future-proofing built in, but I suspect the phone will give up sooner than OsmAnd will outgrow it for his usage. The big step up for me was going from 500 MB RAM up - this became unmaintainable even with all the workarounds I have employed to keep it going. But I did keep OsmAnd alive longer on this then was reasonable for at least a year, maybe longer :) And don't forget to think about space for the maps - they are growing in size constantly, if you cannot/will not use SD card, it can easily be the limiting factor as well (dual SIM phones sometimes use either second SIM or SD card, not both at the same time). Look for the size of the region you want to keep on you at all times, multiply by 2 or 3 to have reasonable reserve. Just saying when I hear you were using jelly beans phone and I suspect you will probably want to keep the new phone again for a long time.
