What is RAM on an Echo for?

We therefore skip this tutorial by briefly revealing to you what is and what is RAM on an Echo for. This word comes in practice from the English “Random Access Memory”, it offers the possibility of store data that the processor needs in the short term. As an example, it will give you the possibility of running different applications simultaneously, it is this which will therefore keep in memory all the data essential to keep applications in the background. In the event that you use greedy games which require a lot of resources and computation on the processor side, it is the RAM that will take over and give the processor the possibility of having all the data available.

A significant amount of RAM memory will therefore be essential to have high performance on your Echo. However, it's a bit like everything, after a certain volume your processor will not be powerful enough to use it and you will suddenly have unused memory. We therefore advise you to find the right processor power / amount of RAM ratio. At the time of writing this article, high-end mobile phones hold 8 to 10 GB of RAM which is enormous!

How to optimize the RAM of your Echo?

Finally, last section of our guide, we will give you some tips to avoid ending up with your Echo's RAM saturated, and in this way to maintain optimal usage performance:

  • Remove unnecessary applications: As we told you, whether you turn on the applications or not, some will start without your permission and requisition storage space on your RAM, a regular sorting of the apps on your Echo can therefore be a good alternative
  • Disable the animations: They are rarely used but all the animations and transitions between the different apps represent particularly heavy and energy-consuming visual effects for your RAM, so we advise you to limit or delete them
  • Avoid animated wallpapers: Same logic as the previous point, anything that is animated represents a significant workload for your Echo, avoid it.
  • Do not use too many Widgets, or not too large ones: We always stay in the same problem, reduce as much as possible the permanent operations, and the widgets constantly take up space on the RAM of your Echo
