Storage of a Samsung Galaxy A5 has always been a problem, for many years smartphones have not always been equipped with sufficient internal storage 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 important as the internal memory of your mobile phone. Today, we are going to help you in the event that you have any questions on this subject.
In this article you will learn how to check the RAM memory of its Samsung Galaxy A5?

It will, for example, allow you to run several applications simultaneously, it is this which will therefore keep in memory all the essential data 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 files at hand.
A significant amount of RAM memory will therefore be important to have decent performance on your Samsung Galaxy A5. 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.
