RAM is acronym for Random Access Memory, which is a primary memory of computer system or any computer device like smartphone or tablet. It is the memory responsible for storing primary data for the applications currently running. RAM describes the performance of the phone. More the RAM will be in a phone, the lesser the CPU will get hotter, which makes the phone faster and compatible with other apps, games, and gives more features. RAM is a super-fast type of memory that stores the apps opened in the phone since it is turned on. More RAM smartphone has more apps, it can store for quick access, which results in fast working of the smartphone.
