Two aspects that nobody analyzes on a mobile phone and that are key to its operation

In general, when one goes to buy a new smartphone, they analyze several characteristics, such as the camera, the screen, the processor, the battery, or the different memory capacities. However, there are two key elements that almost no user analyzes when buying a new mobile and that are key in the operation of the smartphone.

Beyond the technical characteristics

The two keys that we are going to talk about have to do with the memory of the mobile, but they are not simply the capacities of RAM or internal memory, but we have to investigate a little further to determine how the smartphone will work. . We talk about RAM memory type and the internal memory type, or rather of the technology of these memories.

But what is that really? Well, just as it is not the same to talk about a 128 GB hard drive than to talk about a 128 GB SSD memory, the latter being much faster, it is not the same to buy a mobile with a UFS memory 2.0, than buying a mobile with a UFS 1.0 memory, for example. Although the internal memory capacity is the same. Logically, the more advanced the generation, the faster it will be. And this directly affects the operation and performance of the mobile.

The same goes for RAM. 2, 3 and 4 GB of RAM. But a unit with LDRR3 technology is not the same as a memory LDRR4, the latter being notably better.

Of course, now comes the difficulty of locating the specific data of the memory units of each of the smartphones. In general, manufacturers that do not integrate the latest generation technologies do not advertise it either, so it will be difficult to reach beyond the 4 GB of RAM, or the 64 GB of internal memory. So we will have to investigate very well the different technologies used by each of the components so as not to be left with only the data that each of the manufacturers want to sell us.
