The storage of a Samsung Galaxy A42 has always been a problem, for many years smartphones have not necessarily been equipped with a sufficient amount of internal storage or an SD slot to increase the capacity of the latter. However, for some time, the volume problem has been solved, now people are starting to take an interest in the RAM component, this other kind of memory is almost as essential as the internal memory of your smartphone. In this article, we are going to help you in the event that you have questions on this subject.
Today you will see how to check the RAM memory of its Samsung Galaxy A42? To do this, we will first explain to you what is the use of your smartphone's RAM, then, how to know the RAM of your Samsung Galaxy A42 , and, finally, whether it is possible to increase the volume of RAM memory on your smartphone.
How useful is the RAM on a Samsung Galaxy A42?
We start this guide by quickly explaining to you what is and what is the RAM on a Samsung Galaxy A42. This acronym actually comes from the English "Random Access Memory", it will allow you to store the data that the processor needs in the short term. In particular, it will allow you to run several applications at the same time, it is therefore the one that will store all the essential data in memory to keep applications in the background. If you ever play greedy games that require a lot of resources and calculations on the processor side, it is the RAM that will take over and allow the processor to have all the data available.
A high amount of RAM memory will therefore be important to have high performance on your Samsung Galaxy A42. Nevertheless, it's a bit like everything, after a certain volume your processor will not be powerful enough to exploit it and you will suddenly have unused memory. It will therefore be necessary to find the right compromise between processor power and amount of RAM. This year, high-end phones are equipped with 8 to 10 GB of RAM, which is huge!
How to know the RAM of your Samsung Galaxy A42?
We now move on to the verification part, which surely interests you the most, and, to do this, we will now reveal to you how to know everything about the RAM of your Samsung Galaxy A42. To do this, first, we will explain to you 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 Samsung Galaxy A42?
We start suddenly with the technique to know the amount of RAM integrated in your Samsung Galaxy A42. As you will have understood, the larger the volume of RAM, the more the processor will be able to perform tasks, let others run in the background without feeling latency or slowing down. There are two solutions to access this data:
- Quite simply from the “Settings” of your Samsung Galaxy A42
- Go to the "Settings" of your smartphone
- Find the menu "Device maintenance" or "Device optimization", depending on the Android version installed on your Samsung Galaxy A42, this may be significantly different, but this is the menu in which you will be able to monitor the consumption of the various critical points of your smartphone (battery, memory life, storage…)
- Once in this menu, you will need to locate the "Memory" indicator and observe the maximum volume displayed, this is the amount of RAM equipped on your Samsung Galaxy A42
- By using CPU-Z
- Download and install CPU-Z , a small application that offers the possibility of obtaining a large amount of information about your device
- Launch the application
- Go to the top tab "Device"
- You will find the amount of RAM installed on your Samsung Galaxy A42 in the section "Total RAM"
How to control the RAM usage of your Samsung Galaxy A42?
To know the RAM usage of your Samsung Galaxy A42 and to know in the event that it saturates or in the event that you still have the margin, there are also two options which are almost the same as those which we have just shown you in the previous part. This is a test that can be interesting to understand why your Samsung Galaxy A42 makes you feel latency. Let's go:
- Going through your smartphone settings
- 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
- Using CPU-Z
- Open CPU-Z
- Go to the tab "Device"
- In "Available RAM" you will see the amount of RAM available on your Samsung Galaxy A42, as well as a percentage to make it easier for you to interpret it
If you ever realize that you have very little RAM available without necessarily having a lot of applications running, it is surely necessary close background applications that saturate it. You can also clear the cache of your Samsung Galaxy A42 to free up space and improve your performance.
Is it possible to increase the amount of RAM memory on a Samsung Galaxy A42?
If you ever identify that your RAM is regularly full, it makes perfect sense to ask yourself if you can increase the amount of RAM on your Samsung Galaxy A42 ? Alas on Smartphone this operation is impossible… You will suddenly have to better manage your uses, close the applications which you do not use, or switch to a more powerful smartphone.
