The storage of an Honor 8S has often been a problem, for many years smartphones were not necessarily equipped with a sufficient 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 type of memory is almost as important as the internal memory of your mobile phone. In this guide, we are going to help you in the event that you have questions on this topic.

In this article, you will find out how to check the RAM memory of its Honor 8S? To do this, we will first teach you what the RAM of your mobile phone is used for, then, how to know the RAM of your Honor 8S , and, finally, whether it is possible to increase the volume of RAM memory on your mobile phone.

What is the RAM memory for on an Honor 8S?

We therefore begin this guide by briefly explaining to you what is and what is the function of the RAM on an Honor 8S. This nomanclature 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. Among other things, it will allow you to run 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 calculation on the side of the processor, it is the RAM that will take over and allow the processor to have all the files available.

A significant amount of RAM memory will therefore be necessary to have high performance on your Honor 8S. 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. It is therefore necessary to find the right pair of processor power / amount of RAM. At the moment, the most powerful cell phones are equipped with 8-10 GB of RAM which is more important than many PCs!

How to know the RAM of your Honor 8S?

We will now move on to the control part, which certainly interests you the most, and, in this context, we will now reveal to you how to know everything about the RAM of your Honor 8S.

  • Through the configurations of your mobile phone
    • Go to the "Settings" of your mobile 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
  • Thanks to CPU-Z
    • Open CPU-Z
    • Go to the tab "Device"
    • In "Available RAM" you will find out the amount of RAM available on your Honor 8S, as well as a percentage to simplify its interpretation

In the event that you notice that you have very little RAM available without necessarily having a lot of applications running, you should certainly close background applications that saturate it. You can also clear the cache of your Honor 8S to free up space and improve your performance.
