The storage of a Google Pixel 6 has always been a problem, for many years the 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, for some time now the volume problem has been solved, now people are starting to look into the subject of RAM, this other kind of memory is almost as important as the internal memory of your mobile phone. In this guide, we are going to help you if you have any questions on this topic.

In this guide, you will discover how to check the RAM memory of its Google Pixel 6? To do this, we will first show you what is the use of the RAM of your mobile phone, then, how to know the RAM of your Google Pixel 6 , and, to conclude, whether it is possible to increase the volume of RAM memory on your mobile phone.

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 high amount of RAM memory will therefore be required to have decent performance on your Google Pixel 6. However, 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 is therefore necessary to find the right compromise between processor power and amount of RAM. At the moment, the most powerful Phones are equipped with 8 to 10 GB of RAM which is huge!
