Storage of an Archos has been a problem forever, for many years phones have not necessarily been equipped with a large enough internal storage volume or an SD slot to increase the capacity of the latter. However, in recent years, the volume problem has been solved, now people are starting to look at the subject of RAM, this other kind of memory is almost as important as the internal memory of your smartphone. In this article, we are going to help you in the event that you have questions on this topic.
In this article you will see how to check the RAM memory of its Archos? In this context, we will first explain to you what the RAM of your smartphone is used for, then, how to know the RAM of your Archos , and, to conclude, if it is conceivable to increase the volume of RAM memory on your smartphone.
What is RAM on an Archos for?
We therefore start this tutorial by briefly teaching you what is and what is RAM on an Archos for. This acronym actually comes from the English "Random Access Memory", it offers the possibility of store data that the processor needs for a short period of time. It will, among other things, give you the possibility of running different 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 data available.
A large amount of RAM memory will therefore be important to have decent performance on your Archos. However, it's a bit like everything, after a certain volume your processor will not be powerful enough to use it and you will consequently have unused memory. We must therefore find the right pair of processor power / amount of RAM. This year, the most powerful phones are equipped with 8 to 10 GB of RAM which is more important than many PCs!
How to know the RAM of your Archos?
We now move on to the control part, which undoubtedly interests you the most, and, for that, we will now present to you how to know everything about the RAM of your Archos. In this context, 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 my Archos?
We therefore start with the procedure to find out the amount of RAM equipped on your Archos. As a result, you will have assimilated it, the greater the volume of RAM, the more the processor will be able to accomplish tasks, letting others run in the background without suffering from latency or slowing down. There are two methods to access this data:
- Quite simply from the “Settings” of your Archos
- Go to the "Settings" of your smartphone
- Find the menu "Device maintenance" or “Device optimization”, depending on the Android version installed on your Archos, this may vary, however, this is the menu in which you will be able to observe the consumption of the various critical points of your smartphone (battery, RAM, storage …)
- Once 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 Archos
- Using CPU-Z
- Download and install CPU-Z , small application that offers the possibility of obtaining a large amount of information on your smartphone
- Launch the application
- Go to the section "Device"
- You will get the amount of RAM installed on your Archos in the section "Total RAM"
How to check the RAM usage of my Archos?
To know the RAM usage of your Archos and know in the event that it saturates or in the event that you still have some margin, there are also two methods which are almost identical to those we have just presented to you just before. It is a test which can be enriching to understand why your Archos is making you feel latencies. Let's go:
- Through the configurations of your smartphone
- Go to the "Settings" of your smartphone
- 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
- Thanks to CPU-Z
- Open CPU-Z
- Go to the tab "Device"
- In "Available RAM" you will discover the amount of RAM available on your Archos, as well as a percentage to simplify the interpretation
In the event that you notice that you have very little RAM available without necessarily having a lot of applications running, it is probably necessary close background applications that saturate it. You can also clear the cache of your Archos to free up space and improve your performance.
Is it possible to increase the amount of RAM memory on an Archos?
In the event that you identify that your RAM is regularly full, it is quite legitimate to ask yourself if you can increase the amount of RAM on your Archos ? Unfortunately 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.
