你觉得手机上的内存,多大才够用?
前段时间有一件事震惊了不少数码圈的朋友,这件事的主角是红魔7 Pro。一台游戏手机的发布本应不会引起那么大的震动,但让大家注意的是,这次红魔7 Pro提供了一个18GB+1TB的“皇帝”版本,再加上「虚拟内存技术」,让该版本整整有了24GB的超大内存。
对于一些普通用户来说,他们并不明白手机内存的重要性。目前的安卓手机和苹果手机不同,苹果手机只需要关注存储是否够用即可,在运存上无需关心。而这件事到了安卓上面,就变得复杂了许多,简单的量化指标其实就是内存和存储,在大多数用户的理解中,内存和存储越大,手机越流畅。
“鸡贼”的手机厂商自然不会放过这个商机,在手机的定价中,内存越大,价格就越贵,在手机厂商互相“卷来卷去”的过程中,手机上内存的大小甚至一度超过了电脑。16GB内存手机,比很多朋友电脑上的内存还要大上不少。
那我们透过现象看本质,厂商为了追求更大的内存,不惜用上了看似“高大上”的虚拟运存技术,那么24GB的超大内存,真的有必要吗?
手机厂商们到底是为了卷而卷,还是真正的在为消费者着想?
手机到底多大内存才够用?对于安卓手机来说,原则上大内存确实比小内存有着更多的的优势。
我们举一个简单的例子,如果你的手机有100MB的内存空间,当打开微信后,微信占用了80MB的内存,空余的内存就只有20MB了。如果这时候我们想要玩一个游戏,这个游戏需要50MB的内存空间,可手机只有20MB的内存了,这时候手机该怎么办?
这时候手机的解决办法只有一个,那就是关闭之前的应用,为游戏让路,即将微信关闭,空余出50MB以上的内存来运行游戏,这就是我们俗称的“杀后台”。
如果手机的内存更大,我们可以同时打开的应用就越多,保持多应用同时后台挂起不掉线,这就是大内存和小内存之间的区别。 这一问题持续了很长一段时间,直到安卓6.0时期,谷歌引入了全新的Doze模式,这一问题才有所好转。
Doze模式,其实就是一个优化后台和延长手机使用时间的模式,当用户一段时间没有使用手机的时候,Doze模式通过延缓app后台的CPU和网络活动减少电量的消耗,并且在一定程度上能够保证手机的流畅性。
这样一来,安卓手机对于内存管理有了比较良好的控制,在硬件上的追求就变得没那么严重。
尽管安卓官方提供了解决办法,但落实到手机厂商就不一样了。每一家手机厂商都要给手机提供专属的服务,也就是本土功能的添加。这样一来,今天加点功能,明天再加点功能,长时间下来,手机系统变得越来越臃肿,更像是一种“负优化”,这就导致手机重新拾起了大内存的需求。
没办法,只能继续在硬件上堆料,如果不继续增加内存,手机刚到消费者手中就会变卡,更别提日常使用体验了。
近年来,安卓手机的内存动不动就是8GB起步,一些高配版本的内存甚至达到了12、16GB。
值得注意的是,刚才我们提到了一件事就是厂商针对系统的优化,那大家明明都意识到这个问题了,手机厂商就没有针对这件事进行优化吗?
还别说,手机厂商针对这一点还真进行了优化,不过优化方式比较简单粗暴,谷歌的Doze模式是在手机静置时候进行优化,手机厂商提供的,则是直接干掉长时间没重新唤醒的应用,在优化机制的制定上,要更为严格。
这样一来,为了保证手机的流畅度,就会经常出现手机内存还有剩余,但应用还是被杀死的情况,所以尽管运存变成了“Plus”,可得到的体验并没有相应的提升。
此前,国外媒体AndroidAuthority就针对“安卓手机是否内存越大越好?”做过实验。
他们测试了350MB到2GB内存的应用程序在手机中的后台情况,最后得出了一个比较客观的结论。
目前的安卓手机最低要选择6GB的内存容量,8GB到12GB是比较理想的内存大小,而16GB的内存并没有更好的表现。
所以,盲目追求“超大内存”,是不对的。
为了“卷”,他们不惜用上虚拟内存技术目前手机厂商在追求流畅性的道路上,盲目的选择扩大内存,方向无疑是有些偏差,尤其是现在不少厂家为了追求大内存的噱头,采用了一种名为虚拟内存的技术。
虚拟内存技术,也就是RAM Boost,该功能被大多数用户熟知是在2019年上市的一加7 Pro身上,可以让8GB内存的一加7 Pro拥有等同于12GB内存竞品的多任务后台能力。
这东西虽然被厂商介绍的很“洋气”,但虚拟内存技术在早期的安卓上就已经有过应用。简单来说,就是将ROM(存储)的存储空间分割出一部分,用作RAM空间。
我们还是用刚才的100MB内存举例,我们打开微信后,手机只剩余20MB的内存空间,但又想打开一个50MB的游戏,这时候就有了全新的解决办法。
我们可以把ROM上划分出的一部分空间想象成一个仓库。在打开游戏的时候,微信我们自然是不会使用的,并不用大量的读写微信的数据,那我们就可以将微信暂时移动到仓库中暂存,等我们玩完游戏后,再将微信移回来。
值得注意的是,“仓库”和本身的空间并不相同,仓库只是仓库,只能进行暂存操作,而非是拓展本有的空间。
但有利自然就有弊,虚拟内存有一个最大的缺点,就是寿命问题,虽然解决了RAM的负载压力,但实际上频繁的读写操作会加速消耗ROM的使用寿命,属于伤敌一千自损八百的玩法。
目前的手机厂商都喜欢将虚拟内存算成物理内存进行宣传,甚至还将其作为了一大卖点来进行宣传,尤其是导购会“哄骗”一些不懂这类技术的用户,让他们认为花8GB的钱就能得到12GB的体验,简直是香到爆炸。
因此,虚拟内存技术是一个非常不错的噱头点。
事实上,随着手机不同配置间价格区别越来越明显,大内存版本的价格已经逐步上升,亦或者说,变成了厂商提高售价、产品宣传的一种手段。更大的内存会带给用户更流畅的错觉,如果想要更流畅的体验,那就要购买更大内存的版本,如此一来,消费者就会变成我们调侃的“三千预算进卡吧,加钱加到九万八”的尴尬局面。
所以,我们并不建议消费者盲目追求大内存手机,目前所谓的内存融合技术、虚拟内存技术,更多做的是锦上添花,而非雪中送炭。况且对于目前安卓手机的后台管理机制,更大的内存并不能带给我们直观体验上的提升,所以,选择一个合理且合适的版本,更有利于消费者节省成本、提升体验。
