The storage of an Alcatel 1b has always been a concern, for many years mobile phones have not necessarily been equipped with a sufficient amount of internal storage or an SD slot to increase the capacity of the latter. However, for some time now, the volume problem has been resolved, now people are starting to look into the subject of RAM, this other kind of memory is almost as essential as the internal memory of your phone. We are going to help you today if you have any questions on this topic.

Today you will find out how to check the RAM memory of your Alcatel 1b? In this context, we will first show you what the RAM of your phone is used for, then, how to know the RAM of your Alcatel 1b , and, finally, if it is conceivable to increase the volume of RAM memory on your phone.

What is the RAM used for on an Alcatel 1b?

So we start this tutorial by teaching you quickly what is and what is the RAM for on an Alcatel 1b. This term actually comes from the English "Random Access Memory", it offers the possibility of store the data that the processor needs in the short term. For example, it will allow you to run several applications at the same time, so it will store all the essential data in memory to keep applications running in the background. If you ever play greedy games that require a lot of resources and calculation on the processor side, it is the RAM that will take over and allow the processor to have all the files available.

A large amount of RAM memory will therefore be essential to have high performance on your Alcatel 1b. Nevertheless, it's a bit like everything, after a certain volume your processor will not be powerful enough to exploit it and you will therefore have unused memory. It will therefore be necessary to find the right compromise between processor power and amount of RAM. This year, the most powerful Smartphones are equipped with 8 to 10 GB of RAM which is more important than many PCs!

How to know the RAM of your Alcatel 1b?

We now move on to the verification part, which surely interests you the most, and, for that, we are now going to show you how to know everything about the RAM of your Alcatel 1b. In this context, to begin with, we will show you how to know the amount of RAM present on your phone, then, how to know where you are with its use.

How to check the amount of RAM installed on your Alcatel 1b?

We therefore start with the technique to find out the amount of RAM equipped on your Alcatel 1b. As you will have realized, the larger the volume of RAM, the more the processor will be able to perform tasks, let others run in the background without noticing any latency or slowdown. There are two alternatives to access this data:

  • Directly from the "Settings" of your Alcatel 1b
    • Go to the "Settings" of your phone
    • Find the menu "Device maintenance" or "Device optimization", depending on the Android version installed on your Alcatel 1b this may vary, however, this is the menu in which you can analyze the consumption of the various critical points of your phone (battery, RAM, storage …)
    • Now that you are in this menu, you will need to identify the "Memory" indicator and observe the maximum volume displayed, this is the amount of RAM equipped on your Alcatel 1b
  • By using CPU-Z
    • Download and install CPU-Z , a small application that will allow you to obtain a large amount of data on your smartphone
    • Launch the application
    • Go to the section "Device"
    • You will find the amount of RAM installed on your Alcatel 1b in the section "Total RAM"

How to check the RAM usage of your Alcatel 1b?

For find out the RAM usage of your Alcatel 1b and knowing if it saturates or if you still have some headroom, there are also two possibilities which are almost identical to those we have just shown you in the previous part. This is a test that can be interesting to understand why your Alcatel 1b makes you feel latencies. Let's go:

  • By going through the configurations of your phone
    • Go to the "Settings" of your phone
    • In the "Device maintenance" menu, identify 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 discover the amount of RAM available on your Alcatel 1b, as well as a percentage to simplify your interpretation

If you ever realize that you have very little RAM available without necessarily having a lot of active applications, it is surely necessary close background applications that saturate it. You can also empty the cache of your Alcatel 1b to free up space and improve your performance.

Is it possible to increase the amount of RAM memory on an Alcatel 1b?

If you ever identify that your RAM is regularly full, it makes perfect sense to ask yourself if it is possible to increase the amount of RAM on your Alcatel 1b ? However on Phone this operation is impossible… You will therefore have to better manage your uses, close the applications which you do not use, or switch to a more powerful phone.
