The storage of a Huawei P9 has often been a problem, for many years mobile phones have not necessarily been equipped with a large enough internal storage volume or an SD slot to increase the capacity of the latter. . Having said that, in recent years, the volume problem has been solved, now people are starting to take an interest in the RAM component, this other type of memory is almost as important as the internal memory of your phone. In this article, we are going to help you in the event that you have questions on this subject.

In this guide you will learn how to check the RAM memory of its Huawei P9? To do this, we will first teach you what is the use of your phone's RAM, then, how to know the RAM of your Huawei P9 , and, to conclude, whether it is possible to increase the volume of RAM memory on your phone.

What is the point of RAM on a Huawei P9?

We start this guide by briefly explaining to you what is and what is the function of the RAM on a Huawei P9. This term 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. In particular, 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 computation on the side of the processor, it is the RAM that will take over and allow the processor to have all the data at hand.

A significant amount of RAM memory will therefore be important to have decent performance on your Huawei P9. However, it's a bit like everything, after a certain volume your processor will not be powerful enough to use it and you will suddenly have unused memory. We must therefore find the right ratio of processor power / amount of RAM. At the moment, high-end smartphones have 8-10 GB of RAM which is more important than many PCs!

How to know the RAM of your Huawei P9?

We now move on to the verification part, which certainly interests you the most, and, in this context, we will now present you how to know everything about the RAM of your Huawei P9. To do this, first, we will teach you how to know the amount of RAM installed on your phone, then, how to know where you are using it.

How to check the amount of RAM installed on your Huawei P9?

We start suddenly with the process to find out the amount of RAM built into your Huawei P9. As you can see, the higher the RAM volume, the more the processor will be able to accomplish tasks, letting others run in the background without experiencing latency or slowing down. There are two methods to access this data:

  • Directly from the “Settings” of your Huawei P9
    • Go to the "Settings" of your phone
    • Find the menu "Device maintenance" or “Device optimization”, depending on the Android version installed on your Huawei P9, this may vary, however this is the menu in which you will be able to monitor the consumption of the various critical points of your phone (battery, RAM, storage …)
    • Once in this menu, you should locate the “Memory” indicator and observe the maximum volume displayed, this is the amount of RAM equipped on your Huawei P9.
  • Passing by CPU-Z
    • Download and install CPU-Z , a small application that will allow you to obtain a lot of information on your phone
    • Launch the application
    • Go to the top tab "Device"
    • You will find the amount of RAM installed on your Huawei P9 in the section "Total RAM"

How to control the RAM usage of your Huawei P9?

To know the RAM usage of your Huawei P9 and know in the hypothesis that it saturates or in the hypothesis that you still have the margin, there are also two possibilities which are almost identical to those which we have just shown you just before. It is a test which can be enriching to understand the reason why your Huawei P9 makes you feel latencies. Let's go:

  • Going through your phone settings
    • Go to the "Settings" of your 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 see the amount of RAM available on your Huawei P9, as well as a percentage to make it easier for you to interpret

In the event that you realize that you have very little RAM available without necessarily having a lot of active applications, it is certainly necessary close background applications that saturate it. You can also clear the cache of your Huawei P9 to free up space and improve your performance.

Is it possible to increase the amount of RAM memory on a Huawei P9?

In the event that you identify that your RAM is often full, it makes perfect sense to ask yourself if you can increase the amount of RAM on your Huawei P9 ? However on Phone this opportunity is impossible… You will have to suddenly better manage your uses, close the applications that you do not use, or switch to a more powerful phone.
