I cannot afford high-end phones that's why I am looking for low to mid-range phones. All of the other phones within the price range of the Xperia U to Sola only has 512 MB of RAM, if not then enlighten me. Sony offers the best within this range. They're not meant for really heavy usage unlike those high-end phones with their 1 GB or more of RAM. For someone like me who doesn't have any experience with smartphones yet, the specs offered by these phones should be enough. Besides, why would Sony and other smartphone companies produce phones with such specifications if they would be useless?</P><P>Nevertheless, I shall take your opinion as a good advice and a precaution as well. I believe this thread has accomplished it's objective, but I am not saying that I would not want any discussions any more. If you would like to share more of what you know, and the other members too should they desire to participate, then please do so. This is very informative for us rooting for our first smartphones and to other users as well. <IMG class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.no/html/images/smilies/011.png" alt="Slightly_smiling_Face" title="Slightly_smiling_Face" /></P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 13 Apr 2012 19:11:42 GMT 2012-04-13T19:11:42Z What's the difference between the U's phone memory and the internal storage? https://community.sony.no/t5/other-general/what-s-the-difference-between-the-u-s-phone-memory-and-the/m-p/2897202#M14858 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>What's the difference and what are they for?</P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 31 Mar 2012 19:48:18 GMT https://community.sony.no/t5/other-general/what-s-the-difference-between-the-u-s-phone-memory-and-the/m-p/2897202#M14858 2012-03-31T19:48:18Z Re: What's the difference between the U's phone memory and the internal storage? https://community.sony.no/t5/other-general/what-s-the-difference-between-the-u-s-phone-memory-and-the/m-p/2897203#M14859 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>It's completely different things:</P><P>Phone memory - RAM</P><P>Internal storage - free space in your phone</P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 31 Mar 2012 20:31:34 GMT https://community.sony.no/t5/other-general/what-s-the-difference-between-the-u-s-phone-memory-and-the/m-p/2897203#M14859 Bobeobi 2012-03-31T20:31:34Z Re: What's the difference between the U's phone memory and the internal storage? https://community.sony.no/t5/other-general/what-s-the-difference-between-the-u-s-phone-memory-and-the/m-p/2897204#M14860 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>So you mean that the Xperia U has 2 GB of RAM? <IMG class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.no/html/images/smilies/005.png" alt="Smiling_Face_with_open_mouth_&amp;_closed_Eyes" title="Smiling_Face_with_open_mouth_&amp;_closed_Eyes" /> Have you read the white paper?</P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 01 Apr 2012 12:38:08 GMT https://community.sony.no/t5/other-general/what-s-the-difference-between-the-u-s-phone-memory-and-the/m-p/2897204#M14860 2012-04-01T12:38:08Z Re: What's the difference between the U's phone memory and the internal storage? https://community.sony.no/t5/other-general/what-s-the-difference-between-the-u-s-phone-memory-and-the/m-p/2897205#M14861 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Then why u ask dumb questions? </P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 01 Apr 2012 12:51:52 GMT https://community.sony.no/t5/other-general/what-s-the-difference-between-the-u-s-phone-memory-and-the/m-p/2897205#M14861 Bobeobi 2012-04-01T12:51:52Z Re: What's the difference between the U's phone memory and the internal storage? https://community.sony.no/t5/other-general/what-s-the-difference-between-the-u-s-phone-memory-and-the/m-p/2897206#M14862 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>ccording to white paper..</P><P></P><P>RAM 512 MB</P><P>System memory 2 GB</P><P>Phone memory 2 GB</P><P>Internal storage 4 GB</P><P></P><P>since it does not have any sd card slot.. internal storage = system + phone...</P><P></P><P>i think so.. not sure.</P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 01 Apr 2012 12:53:24 GMT https://community.sony.no/t5/other-general/what-s-the-difference-between-the-u-s-phone-memory-and-the/m-p/2897206#M14862 slimshaddy 2012-04-01T12:53:24Z Re: What's the difference between the U's phone memory and the internal storage? https://community.sony.no/t5/other-general/what-s-the-difference-between-the-u-s-phone-memory-and-the/m-p/2897207#M14863 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>guys dont fight <IMG class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.no/html/images/smilies/051.png" alt="Dizzy_Face" title="Dizzy_Face" /> it was a god question but still the author you shouldn't have laughed <IMG class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.no/html/images/smilies/051.png" alt="Dizzy_Face" title="Dizzy_Face" /> bobeobi was just trying to help..</P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 01 Apr 2012 12:54:46 GMT https://community.sony.no/t5/other-general/what-s-the-difference-between-the-u-s-phone-memory-and-the/m-p/2897207#M14863 slimshaddy 2012-04-01T12:54:46Z Re: What's the difference between the U's phone memory and the internal storage? https://community.sony.no/t5/other-general/what-s-the-difference-between-the-u-s-phone-memory-and-the/m-p/2897208#M14864 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Alright, sorry for laughing. <IMG class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.no/html/images/smilies/011.png" alt="Slightly_smiling_Face" title="Slightly_smiling_Face" /></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 01 Apr 2012 13:25:48 GMT https://community.sony.no/t5/other-general/what-s-the-difference-between-the-u-s-phone-memory-and-the/m-p/2897208#M14864 2012-04-01T13:25:48Z Re: What's the difference between the U's phone memory and the internal storage? https://community.sony.no/t5/other-general/what-s-the-difference-between-the-u-s-phone-memory-and-the/m-p/2897209#M14865 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I don't get it, why would the system and phone memory be equal to the internal storage?
