What's the difference between the U's phone memory and the internal storage?

[#1]

What's the difference and what are they for?

So I'm back to clarify.

RAM = Ram of course.

System memory = The space where Android is kept and other stuff which the user can't modify.

Phone memory = Where downloaded app's are stored by default.

Internal storage = Where all your media is stored.

Does this mean I can only store a maximum of 2 GB of apps and games?

[slimshaddy]

its better than 380 mb....

380 mb on their flagship 2011 arc....

2 gb is way much better...

But you can install games in the Arc's SD card.

[Uliwooly]

yes an no, you still have to install part of the apps on the internal memory and the rest will go on the SD card so 320mb its horrible

[slimshaddy]

like uliwooly said , all the game's data is stored on the sd card.. so all that will go to internal storage i guess... and thats suck.. because heavy games demand ateast 500mb of free space.. so you may can download only 5-6 heavy games with no songs nothing..

correct me if i'm wrong uli :smileygrin:

[#8]

So how much "heavy" games do you think can be stored in Xperia U?

[slimshaddy]

dint you read my comment :smileygrin:

i mentioned above , 5-6 games.. and i'm not sure if the data files can be stored in phone memory or not.. i dont think so..

[#10]

Well that sucks, I'd probably go for sola instead.

[slimshaddy]

yes you can . but it has only 512 mb of ram not a good configuration , dual core but 512 mb ram..

it has 5 gb of internal memory...
