Global Technology and Smartphone brand, OPPO recently announced a new memory expansion technology that allows users of Reno5 Series smartphones in Nigeria to temporarily increase the amount of RAM (Random Access Memory) in their devices.

The company recently released its Memory Expansion Technology, RAM Expansion, for its Reno5 Series smartphones, allowing users to temporarily convert part of their smartphone’s available ROM to virtual RAM, simply in one click at the phone’s settings App.  Depending on the phone’s memory storage, users could also freely switch the level of RAM expansion according to their actual usage needs.

RAM is one of the fastest types of memory, allowing a device to quickly switch between tasks, meaning that the higher the amount of RAM a device has, the faster its response speed is. The amount of RAM a phone needs depends on what applications and features the consumer wants to use, including gaming, photography and video editing. Additional RAM gives the option of opening more applications in the background simultaneously, allowing the phone’s configuration to perform at its maximum capacity without freezing, hanging or overheating.

After carrying out a software update on the OPPO Reno5 Series (available from July), the RAM expansion function can be activated via the ‘About Phone’ section inside the settings App and carrying out a restart.
