The comedian and Yue Yunpeng are on the hot search again. On April 11, Xiao Yueyue asked on Weibo: "I bought a mobile phone with 128G memory, but after opening it, I found that the available memory was only 112G, should I pay for 112G, or is 128G reasonable?" ”
The topic was once the most searched topic, attracting 300 million followers.
As soon as this question was raised, most netizens fell into deep thought.
Many people in the comments have said it
This question has been bothering me for a long time...
Some netizens used other cases to illustrate
Some netizens also popularized science related to Xiaoyue Yue.
More and more netizens began to complain
For the "storage space for the difference between the parameters and the actual data" pointed out by netizens, it is used to install the mobile phone system and pre-installed software. Xiao Yueyue "complained" again: can the manufacturer digest the memory occupied by the system and software, and give as much memory as he says.
Reporter investigation: Some mobile phones
Indicates less than 90% of available memory
Is there really a problem with phone storage?
On April 12, a reporter from Modern Express visited a mobile phone hypermarket in Nanjing. On the counter of a domestic mobile phone store, there is a new mobile phone marked "8G + 128G". The reporter asked the clerk how much actual memory the mobile phone had, and the clerk said that it was 128G as indicated on the label. When the reporter asked whether the system and software that came with the mobile phone occupied a certain amount of memory, the clerk explained that the mobile phone, like the computer, cannot run without a built-in system, so of course it can. They take up a certain amount of memory. "The phone's memory is like an entire area of the house, and the space occupied by the system and software is the common area. This is true of all mobile phones currently in circulation. ”
Some phones have less than 90% of the usable area of the indicated parameters
Later, the clerk showed the mobile phone storage space, and the reporter pointed out that the system alone occupied 13G. That is to say, when consumers receive the bare metal of this phone, the actual available memory is only 115G, which is less than 90% of the nominal parameters.
The reporter found another mobile phone at the counter, and the brand explained where the phone was stored. The description shows that the phone's operating system and pre-made apps take up some of the storage space, so the actual space available to the user is less than the nominal storage capacity. In addition, there is a description of "ROM: 256GB (free user memory 218.7GB)" on the box of the phone.
Some phones provide users with clear indications about available space
The "shared area" of the phone is understandable
But the service could be better
Eventually, Yue Yunpeng's post was deleted. But the resulting topic is still debatable. In fact, many consumers do not have a clear understanding of their mobile phone storage. Some netizens said: If Yue Yunpeng had not posted this Weibo, he would not have guessed that the available memory of the mobile phone and the parameters marked were different. Some netizens pointed out that they know that the system and software of the mobile phone occupy part of the memory, and understand such a "shared space", but there are many pre-installed software in the mobile phone that are not used. However, it cannot be deleted. Is the place compulsory?
Many netizens supported Yue Yunpeng and claimed that mobile phone manufacturers should pay according to actual memory.
Digital blogger "Luffy Tech Master" explained on Weibo: "This question has indeed made many people question, and it has been for at least a decade. It may first appear on the system hard drive and then slowly expand to the computer, when using USB flash drives, phone memory, etc
Smart people know that this is because the system and preset apps take up some space. In fact, there are algorithmic issues beyond that. Manufacturers usually calculate production in 1000M as 1G, while systems treat 1024M as 1G, so space is reduced accordingly.
At present, different mobile phone manufacturers have different systems and preset application sizes. Some phone systems are relatively simple, with few preset apps and a relatively small memory footprint. However, some manufacturers' mobile phone systems are becoming more and more bloated, and many pre-installed applications, etc., occupy more memory space in order to achieve sufficient advertising benefits.
Cao Wei, deputy secretary-general of Nanjing Consumer Association, said that due to the popularity of electronic equipment, more and more consumers are beginning to pay attention to whether the parameters of products are realistic. Cao Wei said that while there are no clear rules requiring electronic device manufacturers to label the actual memory space available to users, he called for better labeling of actual data to avoid consumer disputes, and the clearer the better.
