Some smartphones can struggle to run applications or stay fluid daily. However, there is a way to boost their well hidden power in the parameters.
A smartphone is a bit like a human being. He can do multiple things, but as he goes, he ends up aging and having difficulty performing certain tasks. Luck with the smartphone is that it is always possible to give it a little boost by replacing its components or by repairing it!
Unfortunately, the majority of current smartphones have a lifespan only from 4 to 7 years on average. The components of a smartphone can therefore quickly be trained compared to the latest fashionable applications. Like the functionality updates offered by manufacturers like Apple, Google or Samsung. This is why, it is not uncommon to have to change phone after a few years when the device can no longer hold the pace.
Few users know, but some smartphones still have an option to improve their power. This feature is pretty well hidden and it is not without consequences. We explain to you.
This well -hidden feature is not available on all smartphones. It is not particularly offered on iPhone or on Google Pixel. It has several names according to the smartphone model you have. On a Samsung smartphone, it is possible to find it under the name of “RAM Plus”. In Xiaomi, we prefer to call it “memory extension”. You will understand, there is no really common name.
If you have a Samsung smartphone, you can find the “RAM Plus” option by following the following path:
- Open the “Settings” application
- Find the “device maintenance” part
- Click on the “memory” part. You can take the opportunity to clean apps in the background.
- Go down a bit to find the “RAM Plus” option.
Several number of gigas will then be offered to boost the power of your device. So select the option of your choice to take advantage of better performance on your smartphone. Note that many devices activate the “RAM Plus” by default.
Please note: this Boost of RAM is not without consequences on your smartphone. This virtual RAM will take part of the storage of your phone to improve the performance of the latter. It is therefore not recommended to use this option if the storage of your device is already full. It’s up to you to make the right scale between storage and RAM!
