Many people buy mobile phones are still quite entangled, first of all, they should buy which mobile phone, and after determining the model, they begin to struggle with how much it is appropriate to buy. Now 64GB memory new machine is not common, so most consumers will be between 128GB and 256GB tangled, 256GB memory price is expensive, but afraid that 128GB is not enough. So how big is the phone memory to choose? It turns out that many people have chosen the wrong choice, and spent money wrongly!
How is memory made up?
Before choosing a capacity, you must first know what memory is being consumed by. The available memory for the 128GB new machine is about 100GB, and the dozen or so gigabytes of memory that disappeared are occupied by the system. The second is the installation and occupation of third-party APPS, and the third is the occupation of user data. In addition, as the APP continues to be used, it will continue to generate data and cache, and the number of photos and videos that are taken and downloaded audio will continue to increase, in short, the available memory will be less and less.
It is necessary to combine many aspects to make choices
How much memory to choose, to vary from person to person, can not be killed by a shot. It is necessary to consider whether Android or Apple, the use scenario, how long it is used, the price difference and other factors to decide.
First of all, let's talk about the difference between Apple and Android, because the Apple mobile app is smaller than Android, and Apple uses a more efficient HEIF format for taking photos, so taking pictures and taking videos does not take up much memory. The author took thousands of photos, hundreds of videos, did not play games, installed more than 100 apps, used more than 1 year of mobile phones, 128GB of memory iPhone only took up 60GB of space.
And Apple iCloud can easily synchronize photos and videos, so even if the memory is insufficient in the later stage, you can also delete local photos after syncing photos to iCloud, which does not affect the experience and saves space. And the difference between the 128GB version and the 256GB version of the iPhone is too large, so for 80% of people, choosing 128GB is enough.
Android side of the memory footprint is very large, you can see that I used 5 months of iQOO Neo5, the total memory is 256GB, and has used 161GB, of which photos and videos add up to occupy 26GB, in addition to the application and cache is also a big head. And the difference between 256GB and 128GB of memory for Android phones is not big in itself, so I recommend that if you plan to buy an Android machine for at least 1 year, you still have to choose the 256GB version.
In addition, on the choice of running memory (RAM), unless you buy a thousand yuan machine, the budget is really limited, otherwise do not buy the 6GB version, because 6GB is used for a long time to kill the background is very serious, basically can only reside in 2-3 or so APP, the software back and forth to switch back and forth need to restart the APP, the experience is very poor, and frequent killing background restart APP will also affect the battery life.
To be honest, there is a gap between 8GB and 12GB of running memory for daily use, but it is not particularly obvious, and 12GB is definitely better in terms of background residency. However, at present, many Android custom systems have introduced memory fusion functions, which can divide a part of the ROM to RAM to achieve similar effects of 8GB+5GB or 12GB+7GB. Of course, 12GB is definitely more refreshing, but still look at the difference, if the difference between the two is around 300, I suggest or one step to choose 12GB + 256GB, of course, if you are only mild use, do not care about killing a few more backgrounds, 8GB is also completely OK.
Having said all this, it is still necessary to combine your pocket, Android or Apple, usage scenarios, replacement cycles, price differences and other comprehensive factors to decide. How much memory does your phone have? How was the experience?
