The storage of an Alcatel 1 has always been a problem, for many years phones have not necessarily been equipped with a sufficient amount of internal storage or an SD slot to improve the capacity of the latter. Having said that, for some time now, the volume problem has been solved, now people are starting to look at the RAM flap, this other kind of memory is almost as important as the internal memory of your phone. In this guide, we are going to help you if you ever have any questions on this topic.
Today you will learn how to check the RAM memory of your Alcatel 1? To do this, we will first explain to you what is the use of your phone's RAM, then, how to find out the RAM of your Alcatel 1 , and, to conclude, whether it is possible to increase the volume of RAM memory on your phone.
What is the RAM memory for on an Alcatel 1?
We start this tutorial by explaining to you quickly what is and what is the use of ram on an Alcatel 1. This acronym actually comes from the English "Random Access Memory", it will allow you to store the data that the processor needs over a short period of time. It will in particular give you the possibility of running several applications at the same time, it is this which will therefore keep in memory all the data necessary to keep applications in the background. In the event that you play greedy games which require a lot of resources and computation on the side of the processor, it is the RAM that will take over and allow the processor to have all the files at hand.
A significant amount of RAM memory will therefore be important to have decent performance on your Alcatel 1. 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 will therefore have to find the right pair of processor power / amount of RAM. At the moment, the most powerful smartphones have 8-10 GB of RAM which is more important than many PCs!
How to find out the RAM of your Alcatel 1?
We now move on to the control part, which probably interests you the most, and to do this, we will now reveal to you how to find out everything about the RAM of your Alcatel 1. To do this, to begin with, we will explain how to know the amount of RAM installed on your phone, then, how to know where you are with its use.
How to check the amount of RAM installed on your Alcatel 1?
We start with the procedure to find out the amount of RAM equipped on your Alcatel 1. You will have assimilated it, the more the RAM volume is important, the more the processor will be able to perform tasks, let others run. at the bottom of the task without feeling any latency or slowing down. There are two methods to access this data:
- Directly from the “Settings” of your Alcatel 1
- Go to the "Settings" of your phone
- Find the menu "Device maintenance" or “Device optimization”, depending on the Android version installed on your Alcatel 1, this may change, however this is the menu in which you will be able to analyze the consumption of the various critical points of your phone (battery, RAM , storage… )
- Once in this menu, you will need to identify the “Memory” indicator and see the maximum volume displayed, this is the amount of RAM with which your Alcatel 1 is equipped.
- Passing by CPU-Z
- Download and install CPU-Z , small application that allows you to consult a lot of details about your device
- Open the application
- Go to the section "Device"
- You will find the amount of RAM installed on your Alcatel 1 in the section "Total RAM"
How to control the use of the random access memory of its Alcatel 1?
To know the RAM usage of your Alcatel 1 and to know if it ever saturates or if you ever still have room, there are also two options which are almost the same as those we have just presented to you in the previous part. This is a test which may be interesting to understand why your Alcatel 1 causes you to experience latencies. Let's go:
- By going through the configurations of your phone
- Go to the "Settings" of your phone
- In the "Device maintenance" menu, locate the "Memory" indicator
- You will have a ratio as well as a progress bar that gives you the amount of memory used
- With CPU-Z
- Open CPU-Z
- Go to the tab "Device"
- In "Available RAM" you will see the amount of RAM available on your Alcatel 1, as well as a percentage to simplify interpretation
In the event that you realize that you have very little RAM available without necessarily having a lot of working applications, it is probably necessary close background applications that saturate it. You can also clear the cache of your Alcatel 1 to free up space and improve your performance.
Is it possible to increase the amount of RAM memory on an Alcatel 1?
In the event that you realize that your RAM is regularly full, it is quite legitimate to ask yourself if it is possible to increase the amount of RAM on your Alcatel 1 ? However on Smartphone this operation is impossible… You will therefore have to better manage your uses, close the applications that you do not use, or switch to a more powerful phone.
