The storage of an Alcatel 3 has always been a problem, for many years smartphones have not necessarily been equipped with a sufficient amount of internal storage or an SD slot to improve the capacity of the latter. That said, for some time, the volume problem has been resolved, now people are starting to take an interest in the RAM component, this other kind of memory is almost as important as the internal memory of your smartphone. We are going to help you in this guide if you ever have any questions on this subject.
In this article you will learn how to check the RAM memory of your Alcatel 3? To do this, we will first explain to you what is the interest of the RAM of your smartphone, then, how to find out the RAM of your Alcatel 3 , and, finally, whether it is possible to increase the volume of RAM memory on your smartphone.
What is the advantage of RAM on an Alcatel 3?
So we start this tutorial by showing you quickly what is and what is the use of ram on an Alcatel 3. This nomanclature actually comes from the English “Random Access Memory”, it will allow you to store the data that the processor needs in the short term. In particular, it will allow you to run several applications simultaneously, it is this which will therefore keep in memory all the essential data to keep applications in the background. If you ever 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 high amount of RAM memory will therefore be essential to have high performance on your Alcatel 3. However, it's a bit like everything, after a certain volume your processor will not be powerful enough to use it and you will therefore have unused memory. It will therefore be necessary to find the right compromise between processor power and the amount of RAM. This year, the most powerful mobile phones are equipped with 8 to 10 GB of RAM which is huge!
How to find out the RAM of your Alcatel 3?
We now move on to the control part, which certainly interests you the most, and, to do this, we will now show you how to find out everything about the RAM of your Alcatel 3. To do this, first of all, we will explain how to know the amount of RAM present on your smartphone, then, how to know where you are with its use.
How to check the amount of RAM installed on your Alcatel 3?
We therefore start with the technique to find out the amount of RAM equipped on your Alcatel 3. As you will have understood, the more RAM volume, the more the processor will be able to perform tasks, let others run in the background. task without noticing any latency or slowdown. There are two solutions to access this data:
- Quite simply from the “Settings” of your Alcatel 3
- Go to the "Settings" of your smartphone
- Find the menu "Device maintenance" or “Device optimization”, depending on the Android version installed on your Alcatel 3, this may change, however, this is the menu in which you can observe the consumption of the various critical points of your smartphone (battery, RAM , storage… )
- Once in this menu, you will need to locate the “Memory” indicator and observe the maximum volume displayed, this is the amount of RAM with which your Alcatel 3 is equipped.
- Thanks to CPU-Z
- Download and install CPU-Z , a small application that allows you to retrieve a lot of data on your smartphone
- Launch the application
- Go to the top tab "Device"
- You will find the amount of RAM installed on your Alcatel 3 in the section "Total RAM"
How to check the RAM usage of your Alcatel 3?
To know the RAM usage of your Alcatel 3 and to know if ever it saturates or if ever you still have the margin, there are also two methods which are almost identical to those which we have just discovered in the previous part. It is a test which can be enriching to understand the reason why your Alcatel 3 causes you to experience latencies. Let's go:
- Going through your smartphone settings
- Go to the "Settings" of your smartphone
- 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
- Thanks to CPU-Z
- Open CPU-Z
- Go to the tab "Device"
- In "Available RAM" you will see the amount of RAM available on your Alcatel 3, as well as a percentage to simplify interpretation
If you ever notice that you have very little RAM available without necessarily having a lot of running applications, you should certainly close background applications that saturate it. You can also clear the cache of your Alcatel 3 to free up space and improve your performance.
Is it possible to increase the amount of RAM memory on an Alcatel 3?
If you ever identify that your RAM is often full, it makes perfect sense to ask yourself if you can increase the amount of RAM on your Alcatel 3 ? However, on a 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 smartphone.
