We all know we can increase ram in computer and laptop but most of the people don’t know “ can we really increase ram in the android phone “
It’s like a mysterious secret that only known by geeks
So don’t worry
we are here to reveal this secret
Theoretically its possible
Wait
Don’t get into a conclusion just by reading the above statement
But
Practically its impossible
I know
You are confused
To get a clear understanding of this, we need to know about ram and other storage hardware
what is ram
Ram is a hardware which is used to temporarily store data and serves as a working memory
Why RAM is used instead of using other storage hardware
RAM is much quicker than any other types of storage hardware such as sd card, hard drive and even SSD
Function of RAM
RAM stores data temporarily. For example, when you open an app the data of the app is temporarily stored in ram, for very fast access to this data. ram is also called as volatile memory because the data stored in will be lost when power is off
Now let’s see about storage devices
Uses of storage devices
Let’s take few examples of storage devices such as sd card, hard disk
Are they faster as ram
Absolutely NO
Let’s compare both
Practically sd card can accept data at a speed of 4-8MB/s while ram can accept data at an average speed of 5-7GB/s
so from this small data, we can understand sd card can nowhere come near in terms of speed with ram
so
you would be thinking
he said in the above statement we can increase ram in android phone theoretically
now let’s see that
we can theoretically increase ram by using various apps such as ROEHSOFT RAM-EXPANDER, SWAPIT RAM EXPANDER, RAM EXPANDER etc which require root access
what do these apps really do
basically, these apps create swap memory
so we need to know
what is swap memory
we can define swap memory as virtual ram, basically, we are assigning a small part of the sd card storage to do the tasks of ram ( random access memory).
does this swap memory practically increase the performance of an android phone
No
We know sd card’s accept speed much lower than ram as shown in the above statement
This is like adding water with petrol in a petrol motorcycle.
Will it increase the fuel in motorcycle
No instead it will degrade the motorcycle parts
Now
Let’s see
The cons of using sd card / internal storage swap memory
- Decrease the life of sd card / internal storage
- It will reduce the performance of the android device
From these statements, we can come to the conclusion that
We can’t increase ram in an android phone
instead, we can save / clear ram
Now lets someone say you
We can increase ram in the android phone
Just show them this killer article
So we have cleared a doubt
