What is RAM+?

You have several SD cards and other memory cards in your phone. However, your phone does not have an SD card slot and so it cannot read or write to them. What are you left with? ROM. Reebok was once faced with the same predicament. At that time, it was impossible to increase the storage of its running shoes and thus, had to find a creative solution to get rid of the increasing data volume. So, it invented the chip that compresses all of the data stored in the memory cards into a small area of the shoe, thereby saving storage space without using any additional power. Unfortunately, it was not adopted by the industry at large.

How does RAM+ work?

1. OPPO's RAM+ is divided into two different sections. The first is a second ROM that contains data that can be accessed and read by the processor without being deleted, and the second is a special section (also called 1st-class sub-system, or codename: Smart Storage) that stores data that is vital to the phone's functions. By using this technology, OPPO is able to install RAM on the phone's Flash memory, which gives it a free space of 512GB in the phone. 2. RAM+ doesn't decrease the overall size of the phone, and it can even work with a limited amount of Flash memory. So if a user has 512GB on their phone, and another owner of the phone visits to buy it, the RAM+ on the other phone won't cause the phone's memory to be filled up with unwanted data.

Why does RAM+ matter?

‘Oppo has always been in the business of making new innovations and has always been at the forefront of technological advancements. With RAM+ on the OPPO R7s, OPPO is delivering a more convenient and better user experience to the people of the Middle East.’ Three technical features of RAM+ on the R7s make it the world's first smartphone to have an RAM+ ROM system. Innovative read-only memory module (ROM) system using a separate configuration on a chip (CSM) for ROM and RAM. Reverse-flash with 128GB storage. Advanced 64-bit IMEI which can support two SIM cards at the same time. RAM+ is designed to increase the overall performance of OPPO R7s while providing a long-lasting user experience.

What's the significance?

Recently, IKEA entered the UAE market to raise the bar for budget-friendly furniture and to make home décor more accessible to all. It was my first time buying furniture online and I was skeptical of the RAM-based storage. Considering that IKEA advertised "EVERYTHING FITS" and their unboxing video was emotional, I wasn't sure how practical the furniture really was. But then I looked into the RAM-based storage and I realized how it will change my home furnishings. Instead of every single item of furniture having a different space requirement, it could be stored on one RAM+1. The mattress could take advantage of the storage space, without me having to break it down and create another storage space for all my bedroom stuff.

Conclusion

Hong Kong-based OPPO Electronics has announced the launch of its latest smartphone-based RAM+ memory system on the OPPO Reno5, a new addition to the company's R series line-up of mid-tier smartphones in the Middle East. The company said that its RAM+ technology can increase internal memory capacity of the device by over 50% without increasing the thickness of the device by using regular RAM memory on the device's eMMC chip, thereby reducing its footprint to improve the device's design and construction. It can also reduce the power consumption and the system costs, thereby increasing the performance of the phone and the user experience. "The launch of our new RAM+ technology is in line with our commitment to constantly deliver exciting smartphone features to our users.
