The storage of a Samsung Galaxy A6 has always been a problem, for many years smartphones were not necessarily equipped with a large enough internal storage or an SD slot to increase the capacity of the latter. That said, in recent years, the volume problem has been solved, now people are starting to look at the subject of RAM, this other type of memory is almost as essential as the internal memory of your smartphone. We will precisely in this article help you if you have any questions on this subject.
Today you will learn how to check the RAM memory of its Samsung Galaxy A6? In this context, we will first explain to you what is the interest of the RAM of your smartphone, then, how to know the RAM of your Samsung Galaxy A6 , and, to conclude, whether it is possible to increase the volume of RAM memory on your smartphone.
What is the point of RAM on a Samsung Galaxy A6?
We start this article by showing you briefly what is and what is the use of RAM on a Samsung Galaxy A6. 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. It will in particular give you the possibility of running different 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 data at hand.
A high amount of RAM memory will be important to have decent performance on your Samsung Galaxy A6. 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. It is therefore necessary to find the right compromise between processor power and the amount of RAM. At the moment, high-end smartphones are equipped with 8 to 10 GB of RAM which is more important than many PCs!
How to know the RAM of your Samsung Galaxy A6?

- 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 Samsung Galaxy A6, as well as a percentage to make it easier for you to interpret it
If you notice 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 A6 to free up space and improve your performance.
