First ask you a question, what size memory combination will you choose when buying a mobile phone?
Ten years ago, WeChat's volume was less than 1M, and now the installation package has expanded to more than 200M. What's even more terrifying is that after using it for a period of time, it will become several G.
In fact, this is not an isolated case. The bloat of APP has become the norm. So, in the face of this situation, how much memory combination does our mobile phone need to be enough?
Let’s talk about running memory first!
runs a bad memory, and the result is that it kills the background, white screen, crashes, and stutters...
even iPhone 12 and 13 have been dragged down by 4GB runs aside, resulting in frequent killing of the background.
Therefore, this year, Apple has changed the previous style of squeezing toothpaste. The entire iPhone 14 series has been arranged with 6GB. Although the memory specifications are still the same, the progress compared to the past 4GB is undeniable.
and Android even rolls up the memory to no end. 8GB has become the low-end version of most mobile phones. What's more, moving 18GB into the phone is even larger than that of many people's computers.

In the final analysis, it is still the pot of the APP. On the one hand, domestic APPs especially like to stuff all kinds of things, no matter whether they are useful or not, such as WeChat's various mini programs. When they run, the main body only accounts for about 100M of memory, but the mini programs account for more than 1G.
For example, when you open Taobao, it contains a series of components that have nothing to do with shopping, such as Barba Farm, Taobao Life, and Hot Consumption. You can even fight Landlords in Taobao. It is really outrageous. If you don’t believe it, please open it now and take a look.
On the other hand, many APPs will try every means to force you to update with the fuel of disorderly competition, and high-frequency updates often lack optimization, which will overestimate the computing resources of your mobile phone, which is not as comfortable as before. Some APPs will even continue to start push services in the background, making users unable to defend themselves.
After chatting about storage, let’s take a look at storage!
I wonder if you have paid attention to the size of the APP you usually download. It is now difficult to find a mainstream APP that is less than 100 M.
Take the listening software as an example. The QQ Music installation package is 162M, and the NetEase Cloud Music installation package is 173M, which is just the volume of the installation package. After decompression and installation, QQ music can be expanded to 500M, and NetEase Cloud Music can also reach 300M.
A APP for listening to music actually reaches half a G. In addition, for the music library, some people download more than one, and the two APPs add up to 1G. During use, a large amount of cache will be generated, and the capacity of several G will be lost.
And the memory card has been ruthlessly abandoned by manufacturers. Many APPs are related to study, work and life, and cannot be uninstalled. It is difficult to clean large files, not as simple as cleaning the background, so everyone's anxiety about storage is deeper than memory.
And mobile phone manufacturers are also very "talking" and have launched 1TB of super large storage to alleviate everyone's storage anxiety.
briefly talk about future development trends and purchase suggestions
Here we have to mention a famous term in the IT industry - Andy Bill theorem .
Andy refers to Intel former CEO Andy Grove, and Bill is Microsoft former CEO Bill Gates . The original words are "Andy gives, Bill takes away". It translates to what Andy provides, Bill takes away.
To give an example, although the speed of Intel processors is twice as fast as before, there is actually no obvious difference in running software. This is because the Microsoft system is getting bigger and bigger, slower and slower, and has finished all the improved performance.
is the same in the mobile phone field. Mobile phone manufacturers can improve hardware performance, and APPs can be filled with more functions, such as Doudizhu and QQ browser order takeaway in Taobao, which forces consumers to buy larger memory and more storage. Mobile phone manufacturers can continue to improve hardware performance after making profits, thus forming a closed loop of interests.
After understanding the above situation, let’s think about how many memory combinations are suitable for us.
According to Strategy Analytics' research data, the average replacement cycle of Chinese users is 28 months. Therefore, the so-called "suitable" is for most people to use as long as they have no anxiety during these 28 months.
Judging from the current situation, it is obviously difficult for the Android camp 6+128GB to meet this demand. It is only suitable for friends who have very few APPs, don’t like to take photos, and don’t play games.
and 8+256GB can only be said to be sufficient. The choice that is more suitable for mainstream groups is 12+256GB. The difference between the two is generally three to four hundred yuan, which is still very worth it.
If you like taking photos and recording videos in your daily life and like to download a large number of APPs and games, then it is necessary to consider 12+512GB.
. For Apple users, they should be more cautious on this issue because the price difference is too big. Taking the iPhone 14 as an example, the 128GB version is 5999, the 256GB version is 6899, and the 512GB directly soared to 8699.
As a experienced person, the iPhone's 128GB is enough, but it may be a bit frustrating to use and you need to clean the album occasionally. Of course, it is definitely enough for friends who don’t take photos or play games.
If you plan to use it for more than three years, or have other needs, such as if you are a short video creator, a heavy game party, etc., it is recommended to add more than 256GB, provided that the budget is sufficient.
Finally, I would like to ask everyone, what mobile phone are you using, how big is the memory combination, and is it enough? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area for discussion!
