The storage of an LG G6 has always been a problem, for many years mobile phones have not always been equipped with sufficient 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 RAM shutter, this other type of memory is almost as essential as the internal memory of your phone. Today, we will help you if you ever have any questions on this subject.
In this article you will learn how to check the RAM memory of its LG G6? In this context, we will first teach you what is the interest of the RAM of your phone, then, how to know the RAM of your LG G6 , and, finally, if it is possible to increase the volume of RAM memory on your phone.
What is the RAM memory for on an LG G6?
We therefore start this tutorial by showing you briefly what is and what is the function of the ram on an LG G6. This nomanclature actually comes from the English "Random Access Memory", it will allow store the data that the processor needs over a short period of time. It will, among other things, allow you to run different applications simultaneously, it is this which will therefore keep in memory all the essential data to keep applications in the background. If you ever 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 necessary to have decent performance on your LG G6. 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 compromise between processor power and amount of RAM. This year, high-end cellphones have 8-10 GB of RAM which is more than a lot of PCs!
How to know the RAM of your LG G6?
We now move on to the control part, which probably interests you the most, and, to do this, we will now reveal to you how to know everything about the RAM of your LG G6. In this context, first of all, we will teach you how to know the amount of RAM installed on your phone, then, how to know where you are with its use.
How to check the amount of RAM installed on your LG G6?
We therefore start with the technique to find out the amount of RAM built into your LG G6. 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 solutions to access this data:
- Quite simply from the “Settings” of your LG G6
- Go to the "Settings" of your phone
- Locate the menu "Device maintenance" or “Device optimization”, depending on the Android version installed on your LG G6, this may change, however this is the menu in which you will be able to observe the consumption of the various critical points of your phone (battery, RAM , storage… )
- Once in this menu, you will have to identify the “Memory” indicator and observe the maximum volume displayed, this is the amount of RAM with which your LG G6 is equipped.
- Passing by CPU-Z
- Download and install CPU-Z , a small application that offers the possibility of consulting a lot of information on your smartphone
- Open the application
- Go to the section "Device"
- You will get the amount of RAM installed on your LG G6 in the section "Total RAM"
How to control the RAM usage of its LG G6?
To find out the RAM usage of your LG G6 and to know if it ever saturates or if you ever still have room, there are also two alternatives which are almost the same as those we have just explained to you in the previous part. It is a test which can be rewarding to understand why your LG G6 makes you feel latencies. Let's go:
- By going through the configurations of your phone
- Go to the "Settings" of your phone
- 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
- 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 LG G6, as well as a percentage to simplify its interpretation
If you ever notice that you have very little RAM available without necessarily having a lot of active applications, it is probably necessary close background applications that saturate it. You can also clear the cache of your LG G6 to free up space and improve your performance.
Is it possible to increase the amount of RAM memory on an LG G6?
If you ever realize that your RAM is regularly full, it makes perfect sense to ask yourself if you can increase the amount of RAM on your LG G6 ? However on Smartphone this opportunity is impossible… You will consequently have to better manage your uses, close the applications which you do not use, or switch to a more powerful phone.
