HOW TO MAKE THE BEST OF THAT LOW MEMORY DEVICE

It is common knowledge that all fingers are not equal. This is also evident even in the devices bought by different individuals. This is more so because to a vast majority of people in developing countries like Nigeria, the major factor that influences the purchasing decision when it comes to mobile devices (phones) is the price tag. Unfortunately, after finally gathering enough courage to "cough" out the money required to purchase the device of your dreams, the sad reality strikes even more often on people who buy low budget phones, and that beautiful life you envisioned before buying the phone can quickly become a nightmare.

To avoid spanking yourself and feeling like an idiot, here are some tips that would make your life easier.

1. Ensure that there is an antivirus software installed on the phone, for android, iphone, symbian, windows phone users.

2. Avoid storing heavy files on your internal phone memory, store them in sd-Card instead.

3. If possible, install apps on your memory card also, to reserve space on the device memory.

4. There are some RAM booster apps on different appstores that would help you reclaim space in your RAM from time to time therefore increasing device performance and speed.

5. If your device has multi-tasking capabilities, ensure that you close all unused apps, even when the system offers a promise of doing that for you. That is important because, when you need that space the most, it may not have dawned on your device's garbage collector to clear the unused apps yet.

6.  Most importantly, dowload and install only apps you really need. Since the resource (memory) is scarse, it is just appropriate to install only the most important apps. Apart from the ones mentioned earlier in this article, you might want to install a game, a currency converter, a multi-purpose document and news reader, an additional web browser and a few others that are perculiar to your situation. But avoid bloating things up by installing unnecessary apps or installing multiple apps that do the same thing.
