Bros there is an app that can carry out such task as far as your ram is enough for it to keep your apps running so it's no big deal many OEM find it unnecessary. thank u

alot of people will just look for something unnecessary to always talk about

moscojoor:
Am waiting for the day hios or xos will be able to achieve this

Which android version does this?

blife2:
Hey peeps am tryimg get a new phone and it had come down between pixel 4a , samsung m21s, nokia 5.3
There redmi note 9 but i dont trust it please no redmi or all those oppo brands

do some research and make up your mind on which to buy.

Dominiqueismad:
you have already failed yourself by saying you don't trust redmi

how? It's not by force for him to buy or trust Xiaomi na

Enceladus:
I discovered ampere a few years back when my infinix charger exploded because of nepa and I bought all sort of chargers but none would fast charge. Once I discovered ampere on google, I would just launch the app and connect the charger I want to buy and once it reads below 1200ma I will jejely drop it. That app is a life saver.

I should try this app. Thanks for the review.

Samyd18:
op ..... please what are techno flagship latest phone ?

it should be the phantom 8. But this new one is way better than the flagship device though so if you're thinking of buying, I'll advise you buy this one.

I knew Xiaomi would be amongst them.

Ummmm... The realme is obviously cheaper but the parts is what we're talking about here.

Very unbiased review. Infinix zero 8 is a great phone but there's still room for improvement same as other devices too.

Chai, China de make anything. Kudos to them.

Buy a new device for her. Just budget max 30k and get a sharp device from any brand. Tecno Pop 2, Nokia C1 should be fine.

Be very careful though. Be sure you're buying a good device

Airtel 6gb weekly doesn't do it for me again

RAM is also known as Random Access Memory. This is a type of memory that sits very close to the CPU cores. It is the middleman or link between the files stored on the flash memory (ROM) and the CPU cores. It acts as a workbench for the CPU.

Remember when you were in primary (or elementary) school and you needed to solve math problems? Yeah, most of the time, you might have needed a piece of disposable paper to work with. You used that paper to count, subtract or divide and as soon as you got your answers, you simply squeezed the paper into a ball and tossed it away. Some of us didn’t use pieces of paper, we have used the back pages of our notebooks or even bought a special note just for counting but it is still the same thing. When carrying out work, you needed a temporary space to work with and as soon as you were done, you cleared your desk. That piece of paper you used to solve that math problem could be said to be your RAM.

The RAM serves this function for the CPU cores. RAM provides memory space for the CPU to work on e.g. playing a game or making a call. After you are done, the apps are simply cleared from that space to make room for the current CPU task. Critical files such as components of the Operating System, App data, game graphics, location of all the files on the device etc. are stored in the RAM. Whenever the CPU cores need data to work on, the RAM quickly presents the data or location of the data to the CPU cores for an easy and quick retrieval. The RAM also stores processes of apps that are running. If for example, you’re playing Pro Evolution Soccer and a message from WhatsApp comes in, you can pause the game and leave the app, the RAM will keep the app process saved. After you are done replying the message, you can simply go back and continue your game. This act of keeping two or more apps running simultaneously in the RAM memory is referred to as Multitasking.

If you are very observant, you’ll notice that parts of your RAM are always occupied even the phone is seemingly idle. If you use a 4GB RAM phone, you may only find 2GB or even less free for you to use. This is because the operating system (Android or iOS) is always constantly running in the background. Other processes such as your network modems which keep your phone connected to the internet is constantly running as well. Apps like Facebook, Whatsapp, SMS, Dialer etc. are also running in the background and these eat up a good part of the RAM space. If too many apps are open in the background and the RAM is full, the OS (Operating System i.e. Android or iOS) may kill some apps so as to keep the phone running smoothly.

TYPES OF RAM

All RAM in use today are basically divided into two forms: Static and Dynamic RAM.

A static RAM is a type of RAM on which the data on it is loaded, fixed and doesn’t need refreshing. It needs power all the time to retain its data because RAM is a volatile type of memory. This means that once its power supply is cut, it loses all the data saved to it.

Dynamic RAM on the other hand is dynamic (changes and needs to be refreshed) but it doesn’t need constant power to retain information. When power is restored after a power cut, it simply reloads the necessary data from the flash storage (ROM) as the device is turning on (booting).

The types of RAM available today are
i. Static RAM (SRAM)
ii. Dynamic RAM (DRAM)
iii. Synchronous Dynamic RAM (SDRAM)
iv. Single Data Rate Synchronous Dynamic RAM (SDR SDRAM)
v. Double Data Rate Synchronous Dynamic RAM (DDR SDRAM)
vi. Graphics Double Data Rate Synchronous Dynamic RAM (GDDR SDRAM)

DRAM responds immediately to a single instruction. SDRAM waits for a clock cycle to begin before responding to an instruction. SDR SDRAM shows that the RAM only responds to a single information per clock cycle. SDRAM and SDR SDRAM are one and the same. DDR SDRAM responds to two or more instructions per clock cycle at once greatly improving multitasking and CPU speed. GDDR SDRAM is used for graphic cards in gaming PCs.
All smartphones today use a low powered DDR SDRAM along with their processor cores. They are called LPDDR SDRAMs. There are LPDDR, LPDDR2, LPDDR3, LPDDR4, LPDDR4x and LPDDR5. Most phones should use at least an LPDDR3 if it is old. The newer ones use LPDDR4 and LPDDR4x. The high end Flagships use LPDDR5.

RAM SPEED AND SIZE

The space of the memory is very important and manufacturers use it as a selling point for most of their phones these days. In the early days of smartphones, we had RAM sizes as small as 256MB and 512MB. My old Innjoo F3 tablet had 512MB of RAM. These days however, the lowest you’ll find is 1GB. Moving on there is 2GB, 3GB, 4GB, 6GB, 8GB and flagships with as much as 12GB. These days it is advisable to not go below 2GB of RAM if you are buying a phone.
Whilst most people talk about RAM sizes, they neglect to talk about RAM speeds. RAM speeds are also very important. A slow RAM could lag and ultimately slow down the performance of your device. The speeds of RAMs are measured in megahertz (MHz). A good RAM should run at 1600MHz and above. Then there’s also the read and write speeds of the different types of RAM. LPDDR5 is definitely the fastest around currently.

The article was a bit long so if you're interested in completing it, there's a part about SD cards and internal memory you might be interested in.

This article is one of many explaining about the parts of an SoC, there's a treasure trove of information waiting to be read. If you are a smartphone novice, I'd recommend heading over there and reading at least one article a week.

thanks alot

Sharp! Very perfect midrange device from transsion

What are your views?

how much is it?

G90T?

AbbahAli:
Please recommend a good phone I can get from 25k to 30k.
Should I buy iPhone 6.�

Tecno Pop 3 is your best bet .

Great improvement. Weldone

But it's possible a competitor might be behind this too.

It's not bad though

TECNO pop 3, cos you won't get any xiaomi for that price , else you wanna buy my xiaomi note 4 for 25k

Donvic4u:
Mine lasted like 8 months before d battery started running down

Aside that all was good

did the camera deteriorate?

CapedBaldy:
I'm trying to get the best phone on a tight budget and I've been coming across different brands. Has anyone used a cubot device before? and how good are they?

all these phones are generic. Buy from a trusted brand like Tecno

He deserves it but Gnabry would have been a strong contender too.

sunshineV:
na u cus am. pubg on tecno? no be every phone be smart phone. do research and buy from a beta brand or ask edoairways and kunja2 for assistant on nearest carlcare

shebi you just commot from ban abi? You go go another one, no worry. You and that your Skywalker mf

Pouvoir 4pro. Mad camera and big battery.

It's always good for one to buy a device that supports every earpiece, not selective on some earpiece

catwalq:
Buy an airpod na

it isn't Everyone that has the financial power for that.
