The storage of a Samsung Galaxy M12 has always been a concern, for many years smartphones have not necessarily been equipped with sufficient internal storage volume or an SD slot to improve the capacity of the latter. However, in recent years, the volume problem has been resolved, now people are starting to take an interest in the RAM component, this other type of memory is almost as essential as the internal memory of your smartphone. We are going precisely in this guide, to help you if you ever have questions on this subject.

In this article, you will find out how to check the RAM memory of its Samsung Galaxy M12? For this, we will first teach you what is the use of the RAM of your smartphone, then, how to know the RAM of your Samsung Galaxy M12 , and, finally, if it is conceivable to increase the volume of RAM memory on your smartphone.

What is the use of RAM on a Samsung Galaxy M12?

We start this guide by teaching you quickly what is and what is the RAM on a Samsung Galaxy M12. This acronym actually comes from the English "Random Access Memory", it will make it possible to store data that the processor needs for a short period of time. In particular, it will allow you to run different applications at the same time, so it will store all the data necessary to keep applications in the background. If you play greedy games that require a lot of resources and calculation on the processor side, it is the RAM that will take over and allow the processor to have all the files available.

A significant amount of RAM memory will therefore be necessary to have decent performance on your Samsung Galaxy M12. However, it's a bit like everything, after a certain volume your processor will not be powerful enough to exploit it and you will therefore have unused memory. It will suddenly be necessary to find the right couple processor power / amount of RAM. This year, high-end phones have 8 to 10 GB of RAM, which is more than many PCs!

How to know the RAM of your Samsung Galaxy M12?

We now move on to the verification part, which probably interests you the most, and, in this context, we are now going to reveal to you how to find out everything about the RAM of your Samsung Galaxy M12. To do this, first of all, we will teach 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 M12?

We therefore start with the process to find out the amount of RAM integrated in your Samsung Galaxy M12. You will therefore have assimilated it, the higher the volume of RAM, the more the processor will be able to carry out tasks, let others run in the background without feeling latency or slowing down. There are two solutions to access this data:

  • Simply from the "Settings" of your Samsung Galaxy M12
    • 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 M12, this may vary, but this is the menu in which you can observe the consumption of the various critical points of your smartphone (battery, RAM, storage …)
    • Now that you are in this menu, you will need to identify the "Memory" indicator and observe the maximum volume displayed, this is the amount of RAM equipped on your Samsung Galaxy M12
  • Using CPU-Z
    • Download and install CPU-Z , a small application that will allow you to consult a lot of details about your device
    • Launch the application
    • Go to the section "Device"
    • You will find the amount of RAM installed on your Samsung Galaxy M12 in the section "Total RAM"

How to control the RAM usage of your Samsung Galaxy M12?

To find out the RAM usage of your Samsung Galaxy M12 and to know if it ever saturates or if you ever still have some margin, there are also two possibilities which are almost the same as those we have just shown you in the previous part. This is a test that can be interesting to understand the reason why your Samsung Galaxy M12 makes you feel latency. Let's go:

  • Going through your smartphone settings
    • Go to the "Settings" of your smartphone
    • 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 see the amount of RAM available on your Samsung Galaxy M12, as well as a percentage to simplify your interpretation

If you realize that you have very little RAM available without necessarily having a lot of applications running, you probably need close background applications that saturate it. You can also clear the cache of your Samsung Galaxy M12 to free up space and improve your performance.

Is it possible to increase the amount of RAM memory on a Samsung Galaxy M12?

If you realize that your RAM is regularly full, it is completely legitimate to wonder if it is possible to increase the amount of RAM on your Samsung Galaxy M12 ? However on Smartphone this operation is impossible… You will therefore have to better manage your uses, close the applications that you do not use, or switch to a more powerful smartphone.
