Gone are the days when people buy phones with little internal memory like 512MB and 1GB RAM. 4GB RAM has become the standard of today’s mobile phones, in fact, smartphone brands have all moved to provide phones of not less than 2GB RAM.
In this article, we will be listing the best 4GB RAM phones and their prices in Nigeria. But before that, why do you even need more RAM. Random Access Memory is a super-fast short-term memory that stores apps you are working on for you.
Why you need more RAM?
Whenever you open an app on your phone, once you leave the app and go to another app, RAM stores the information in that app, and when you return to the previous app, you can pick up from where you left. Without RAM, apps shut themselves when you switch to another app, causing the previous app to restart itself when you revisit the app.
With that said, the more RAM your phone has, the more apps it can store for quick access, which makes your phone operates faster. So, you can work on many apps at the same time. With 4GB RAM, you can operate between 3-6 apps at the same time.
Have you ever seen a phone responding too slow or giving you an error- “internal memory full”? That sounds familiar right, have come across that in many old phones especially phones with 1GB RAM. This error is referring to the RAM and not the internal storage. With this error, you need to uninstall some apps running in the background.
But with a 4GB RAM phone, you could avoid all these errors and you don’t have to wait long before apps open. Without further ado, here is a list of the best 4GB RAM phones and their prices in Nigeria, Kenya, and Ghana. This list will include both budget and mid-range phones.
