Yes.
Before answering this question, it is necessary to find out what exactly "memory" affects?
The 8G mentioned by the subject actually refers to the running memory of the mobile phone, and the one with a relatively large number (256G, 512G, etc.) is flash memory.
The role of flash memory, everyone knows, the larger the space, the more things are stored.
The corresponding memory is that the larger the number, the more programs can be run, and the larger the program.
First, the role of memory/memory
(1) Run more programs
After the phone is turned on, nothing is done, and the system will first occupy a part of the storage.
This is a mobile phone that has just been restarted, 8G storage, only 3.43G free space, less than half.
When a program/app is opened, some memory is occupied, and after these applications exit and are closed, the memory is released.
The following figure shows some programs that occupy memory↓
After clicking on it, you will see that the actual occupation and storage of different programs is different, some are long-term occupation, and some are temporary occupation.
Take the last three hours of mobile phone usage as an example (numerical non-theoretical values)
The leftmost operating system, 100% of the RAM, 1.8 G
The middle king glory occupies up to about 1.6G of storage after opening, and does not occupy storage if it is not opened.
The WeChat on the right occupies up to 1.2G storage after opening, pay attention to the bottom half, some programs are 100% running, and they are also occupying storage if they are not opened.
When leaving an application, in most cases, just return directly to the desktop, or directly switch to another application through multitasking, the previous application is not closed, so the probability is still running in the background, at this time it will occupy the running memory.
As more and more applications are opened, and if they are not turned off, the storage will become smaller and smaller.
When the system determines that the storage is not enough, it will actively close some background applications, which is commonly known as "killing the background".
This ensures that the phone continues to run smoothly.
For the killing background, you can refer to the following data
Current mainstream models
Most of the 8G mobile phones are kept alive (retained) by about 10 applications
There are about 20 12G storage and maintenance keepalive.
16G storage is currently the best performing model, with about 40 alive.
The same storage, different brands of models kill the background rules are different, some kill early, some kill late.
The experience of surviving 5 apps and 15 apps in the background is definitely different.
When you pick up your phone at a certain time and open the video, shopping website, or web page you are watching before, it must feel better not to load, but if you need to reload or log in, it will feel more or less troublesome, which means that the app has been "killed".
In reality, many people do not have the habit of manually closing applications, they are directly returning to the desktop, or switching to other applications, plus there are dozens or hundreds of applications in the mobile phone, so in theory, everyone will touch the limit of the number of "keep alive", so that they will experience the moment of being killed in the background.
Therefore, larger storage can ensure that more programs can survive at the same time.
However, since many people have passively become accustomed to the phenomenon of killing the background / reloading, the difference in the actual use of perception may not be much in the case of sufficient storage, after all, no one counts the number of backends.
(2) The program that opens is larger
Through the above introduction, I believe you can also understand the meaning of this part.
When the remaining space of the storage is only 500M, if you want to open a 1G application, you can't open it in theory. At this time, a part of the space is squeezed out through the "kill background" system, and if the storage space after cleaning exceeds more than one gigabyte, the application can be opened.
But beware, being able to open and running smoothly are two meanings. Because the storage usage of an application has been fluctuating, such as "Honor of Kings", when there is 120MB, there is also 1.6G, it can be opened, but may not be able to play. If you can play now, you may not be stuck later, and the 1v1 and the storage occupation during the team war are definitely different. Therefore, the storage space should have a margin so that it will not be stuck.
At present, in mainstream applications, it is common for peak operation to occupy more than one G, and there are not many scenarios where several applications are opened at the same time, so it is not a big problem to ensure that a large application runs at any time.
Taking this mobile phone as an example, 8G storage mobile phone, there will be 3.43G storage surplus in daily life, and the applications with the largest peak storage occupation, such as Baidu and WeChat, can exceed 2 G, 3.43-2=1.43. This is the space left for all other programs that reside in the background.
Therefore, in the current scenario, 8G mobile phones, it is no problem to deal with most applications, the big deal is to kill all other programs to ensure the operation of newly opened programs. Therefore, until last year, you can still see 6G + 128G mobile phones, indicating that 6G is also enough, but this year, if there are a lot of memory-eating applications, 6G mobile phones, may be a bit difficult.
Moreover, as software applications become more and more bloated and functions become more and more complex, the future storage demand will definitely be greater, and after a few years, 8G storage will definitely not be so smooth to use. With today's technology, the trend is that storage specifications are getting bigger and bigger.
However, such a dramatic change is unlikely to occur in the next two to three years.
Second, the reason for changing a new mobile phone
Quite simply, just two cases
(1) Passive replacement
In life, because most of the users of mobile phones are middle-aged and elderly people, the attitude of this part of the group to mobile phones is that they can be used and insisted as much as possible, so many models that are not strong in performance have survived for several years in the hands of parents, and they can be regarded as exhausted and dead.
There is also a person simply because the mobile phone flash memory space is not enough, can not save photos, can not download new applications and replace the new phone, even if it is enough storage, performance is still strong, but also have to be replaced.
Both of the above belong to the situation that seriously affects the use experience and has to be changed.
(2) Active replacement
More young people change more frequently, and the eliminated mobile phones may not be stuck, in order to pursue a better experience, may be the main reason for replacement. Such as new functions, better appearance, etc.
Third, choose a summary
Needless to say, if it is a passive replacement, it is inevitable that there will be some regrets.
For example, obviously bought a flagship mobile phone, three or four thousand yuan or even more expensive, just because the memory is full of photos and change the mobile phone, because the original choice of the small storage version caused by lag, now you have to spend thousands to replace the mobile phone, will you feel a loss? Worth?
Here we take Xiaomi as an example
| 8G+128G | 8G+256G | 12G+256G | 12G+521G | |
| Xiaomi Mi 13 | 3999 yuan | 4299 yuan | 4599 yuan | 4999 yuan |
In the case of 8G storage, 256G flash memory is 1 times more than 128G flash memory, and the price is 300 yuan more expensive. In the case of mobile phone performance and running memory are enough, 300 yuan more, an increase of less than 10% of the price of the mobile phone, in exchange for double the flash memory space, if it is a friend with a large amount of data, can you avoid the situation of full flash memory and early replacement? Increased service life from 1 year to 2 years? 2 years to 3 years? This is for users with a large amount of data.
In the case of the same 256G flash memory, 12G memory is 300 yuan more than 8G memory, less than 10% of the selling price, in the case of sufficient storage and performance, can it also cope with more complex program running? Is it that the theoretical service life will increase by 1 year? 2 years?
As far as buying a new mobile phone a year or two in advance, the budget increase of 300 yuan should be very reasonable and necessary.
Of course, all problems are difficult to bypass a "money" word, not bad money can not be so troublesome, you can change it at any time.
In summary, whether it is to stay more alive in the background, less loading time, or to be able to run larger programs without stuttering, of course, but also for the mobile phone to use for a few more years, large storage, absolutely the same as the mobile phone processor, is very necessary.
You asked me if I can use the 8G mobile phone, I definitely said yes, but I personally recommend choosing 12G and above storage, this money (about 300 yuan) is not necessary to save.
Choosing a mobile phone with large memory and strong performance is to leave enough potential for use, and do not want to buy it this year and get stuck next year.
A small number of thousand-yuan machines due to the comprehensive configuration of the general, processor performance is not strong, even if it is too large storage is difficult to play the advantage, and most of such mobile phones do not have a long use cycle, or the use intensity is not high, low storage can barely accept (6G or 8G).
For buyers with a budget of more than 2,000 yuan or even higher, try to choose 12G to start.
I am Maigot, I know a little about mobile phones, welcome everyone to pay attention to communication. #头条创作挑战赛 #
