Do you know what mobile virtual RAM is?

Nowadays, virtual RAM support is available with smartphones. But do you know what it is?


Virtual RAM (Virtual Random Access Memory) is a technology in which part of the storage (ROM) of the mobile is temporarily used as RAM.


This comes in handy when the physical RAM present in the mobile is full.


For example, if the phone has 8 GB of physical RAM and the phone supports 8 GB of virtual RAM, then the phone has 16 GB of RAM.


This feature enhances the multitasking capability of the device and makes it easier to run apps smoothly. Although it is not as powerful as real RAM, it plays an important role in improving performance.


When your smartphone is running multiple apps simultaneously and the actual RAM is completely used, the phone uses some of the storage.


For example, if your phone has 6 GB of RAM and 4 GB of virtual RAM is added, the phone appears to have 10 GB of RAM in total.


With this feature, the phone’s capacity for gaming or heavy applications increases. And it is also efficient in multitasking. It offers the possibility of keeping several applications open simultaneously.
