Some of these background processes, such as your phone checking for email, are really useful. RAM also enables processes to run in the background. “Unlike PCs, where a few seconds delay in an app loading is acceptable, we expect apps to load instantly on our smartphones even when we’re on the go.” “There is no right or wrong to how much RAM a smartphone requires, although RAM plays a big part in how fluid and seamless our smartphone experience is,” Kara explains. In theory, more RAM means that you can have more processes and therefore more apps running at once. The loaded apps stay there until your RAM fills up and needs to flush something to make room for something else. This is why RAM is important for multitasking. As long as an app is still in RAM, you can jump back into it where you left off without reloading. When you run an app or game on your phone, it’s loaded into RAM. “There is no right or wrong to how much RAM a smartphone requires” “Essentially, RAM keeps all your operations running at once.”
“Smartphones require instant access memory for multitasking, which is what RAM delivers,” Kara said.
We install apps and games into internal storage, our CPU (Central Processing Unit) and GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) deal with processing, so what does RAM do? “As we perform more and more tasks using our smartphones, more RAM is necessary for them to continue functioning efficiently.” “Smartphones have come a long way in the last few years and do more for us now than ever,” Vishal Kara, head of product at Piriform (the makers of CCleaner for Android) told Digital Trends. We decided to ask some experts about how much RAM the average person really needs, what it does, and how it works. This question has popped up again and again since the dawn of the smartphone. If you’re wondering how much RAM your smartphone needs, then you’re not alone.
