The storage of a Huawei P8 has always been a concern, for many years the phones were not systematically equipped with a large enough internal storage or an SD slot to improve the capacity of the latter. Despite everything, in recent years, the problem of volume 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 smartphone. In this guide, we are going to help you in the event that you have questions on this topic.
In this guide you will learn how to check the RAM memory of its Huawei P8? 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 Huawei P8 , and, finally, if it is possible to increase the volume of RAM memory on your smartphone.
What is RAM on a Huawei P8 for?
We start this tutorial by briefly explaining to you what is and what is the RAM on a Huawei P8 for. This term actually comes from the English "Random Access Memory", it offers the possibility of store data that the processor needs in the short term. 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. If 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 files at hand.
A significant amount of RAM memory will therefore be essential to have high performance on your Huawei P8. Despite everything, 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 ratio of processor power / amount of RAM. At the moment, 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 Huawei P8?
We now move on to the control part, which is probably what interests you the most, and to do this, we will now show you how to know everything about the RAM of your Huawei P8. In this context, to begin with, we will explain how to know the amount of RAM installed on your smartphone, then, how to know where you are with its use.
How to check the amount of RAM installed on your Huawei P8?
We therefore start with the process to find out the amount of RAM built into your Huawei P8. As you will have realized, the higher the RAM volume, the more the processor will be able to perform tasks, letting others run in the background of the task without suffering latency or slowing down. There are two methods to access this data:
- Directly from the “Settings” of your Huawei P8
- Go to the "Settings" of your smartphone
- Locate the menu "Device maintenance" or “Device optimization”, depending on the Android version installed on your Huawei P8, this may vary, however this is the menu in which you can monitor the consumption of the various critical points of your smartphone (battery, RAM, storage, etc. )
- Once in this menu, you will need to identify the “Memory” indicator and see the maximum volume displayed, this is the amount of RAM equipped on your Huawei P8.
- By using CPU-Z
- Download and install CPU-Z , small application that allows you to retrieve a lot of details about your device
- Launch the application
- Go to the top tab "Device"
- You will find the amount of RAM installed on your Huawei P8 in the section "Total RAM"
How to check the RAM usage of your Huawei P8?
For know the RAM usage of your Huawei P8 and know in the event that it saturates or in the event that you still have room, there are also two possibilities which are almost identical to those we have just shown you beforehand. It is a test which can be rewarding to understand why your Huawei P8 makes you feel latencies. Let's go:
- Through the configurations of your smartphone
- 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
- With CPU-Z
- Open CPU-Z
- Go to the tab "Device"
- In "Available RAM" you will find out the amount of RAM available on your Huawei P8, as well as a percentage to simplify its interpretation
If you notice that you have very little RAM available without necessarily having many applications running, it is probably necessary close background applications that saturate it. You can also clear the cache of your Huawei P8 to free up space and improve your performance.
Is it possible to increase the amount of RAM memory on a Huawei P8?
If you identify that your RAM is often full, it totally makes sense to ask yourself if you can increase the amount of RAM on your Huawei P8 ? 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.
