The storage of a Vivo Y01 has always been a problem, for many years the phones have not systematically been equipped with a large enough internal storage volume or an SD slot to improve the capacity of the latter. However, lately the volume problem has been fixed, now people are starting to care about RAM, this other type of memory is almost as important as your phone's internal memory. Today, we are going to help you if you have any questions on this topic.

In this article you will see how to check the RAM memory of your Vivo Y01? To do this, we will first teach you what your phone's RAM is used for, then, how to know the RAM of your Vivo Y01 , and, finally, if it is possible to increase the volume of RAM memory on your phone.

What is the use of RAM on a Vivo Y01?

We start this guide by showing you briefly what is and what is RAM for on a Vivo Y01. This nomanclature actually comes from the English “Random Access Memory”, it will allow you to store the data that the processor needs over a short period of time. For example, it will allow you to run several applications at the same time, it is therefore the one that will store all the data necessary to keep applications in the background. In the event that you 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 significant amount of RAM memory will therefore be required to have high performance on your Vivo Y01. 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 therefore be necessary to find the right pair of processor power / amount of RAM. This year, the most powerful Smartphones have 8 to 10 GB of RAM which is more important than many PCs!

How to know the RAM of your Vivo Y01?

We now move on to the verification part, which probably interests you the most, and to do this, we will now show you how to know everything about the RAM of your Vivo Y01. To do this, to begin with, we will teach you how to know the amount of RAM present on your phone, then, how to know where you are with its use.

How to check the amount of RAM installed on your Vivo Y01?

We therefore start with the procedure to find out the amount of RAM equipped on your Vivo Y01. As you will have realized, the larger the volume of RAM, the more the processor will be able to perform tasks, let others run in the background without experiencing latency or slowdown. There are two solutions to access this data:

  • Directly from the "Settings" of your Vivo Y01
    • Go to the "Settings" of your phone
    • Find the menu "Device maintenance" or "Device optimization", depending on the Android version installed on your Vivo Y01 this may change, however, this is the menu in which you can observe the consumption of the various critical points of your phone (battery, RAM, storage …)
    • Now that you are 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 Vivo Y01
  • Passing by CPU-Z
    • Download and install CPU-Z , a small application that offers the possibility of having a lot of information on your phone
    • Open the application
    • Go to the section "Device"
    • You will get the amount of RAM installed on your Vivo Y01 in the section "Total RAM"

How to check the RAM usage of your Vivo Y01?

To know the RAM usage of your Vivo Y01 and to know in the event that it saturates or in the event that you still have some margin, there are also two methods which are almost the same as those we have just seen in the previous part. This is a test that can be interesting to understand why your Vivo Y01 makes you feel latencies. Let's go:

  • Going through your phone settings
    • 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
  • Thanks to CPU-Z
    • Open CPU-Z
    • Go to the tab "Device"
    • In "Available RAM" you will discover the amount of RAM available on your Vivo Y01, as well as a percentage to make it easier for you to interpret it

In the event that you realize that you have very little RAM available without necessarily having many active applications, it is certainly necessary to close background applications that saturate it. You can also clear the cache of your Vivo Y01 to free up space and improve your performance.

Is it possible to increase the amount of RAM memory on a Vivo Y01?

In the event that you notice that your RAM is often full, it is quite logical to ask yourself if it is possible to increase the amount of RAM on your Vivo Y01 ? Unfortunately on Smartphone this operation is impossible… You will therefore have to better manage your uses, close the applications which you do not use, or switch to a more powerful telephone.
