What is RAM in Phones?
-
- RAM is an acronym for Random Access Memory. It is a device fitted inside your smartphone that supports the Apps you open as you use your phone.
- The RAM feeds instructions to your phone’s processor which then executes those instructions to give you the output/information you see on your screen.
- RAM in phones comes in different sizes including;
-
- 1 GB
- 2 GB
- 4 GB
- 8 GB
- 16 GB
- The RAM size dictates how fast or efficient your phone is. It also dictates the kind of Apps you can use on your phone.
- Some gaming Apps, for instance, are graphic-intensive and they demand large memory.
- Having a small Random Access Memory size makes Apps close when you switch to another app, causing delays and slowing your phone down.
