... then you're looking for more Memory / onboard Storage.
RAM
(512MB, 1GB, 2GB) = Random Access Memory which allows your phone / PC / laptop to function better. It's
where the computer / phone processes data
(NOT the processor) the more you have, the more data
(read into RAM) is made available to be processed - thus more efficient.
MEMORY (8GB, 16GB, 32GB, etc) =
onboard storage, this is where your music / photos / videos are stored
(a phone's hard drive). Micro SD cards add to this storage.
ROM = Read Only Memory,
that's complicated
I've
over-simplified for the non-techie, but ...
RAM, Memory as ref'd in phones can be confusing.
