TECNO, Africa’s leading smartphone brand and rising global superstar of the new generation, has confirmed the full rollout of its virtual Random Access Memory (RAM) expansion technology earlier announced in December 2021, available for over the air (OTA) update on all Spark 8C smartphones. This allows Spark 8C users to increase the RAM capacity of their smartphones for optimal efficiency and processing power.

Memory Fusion Technology was designed to make use of unused read-only memory (ROM) and channel them for RAM operations. With Memory Fusion, for example, a typical 3GB + 64GB Spark 8C smartphone can be optimized to an enlarged onboard RAM of up to 6GB + 64GB. By allocating more storage to RAM, the Memory Fusion Technology enhances a device’s multi-tasking capacity, allows for seamless switching between applications that are running concurrently in the background, and stabilizes the phone’s systems for more sustainable performance and longer battery life.

“One of our goals at TECNO is to continue to improve the experience of consumers using our smartphones, and the RAM is one important feature that enables this sense it is mostly responsible for a seamless transition between apps. The technology behind the Memory Fusion has before now, only been available to high and mid-range smartphones, but now TECNO Spark 8C users can experience this feature and enjoy to the fullest the smooth and immersive experience their device can offer,” said Vincent Uzoegbu, PR Communications and Media Manager, TECNO Nigeria.

Simply put, the Memory Fusion feature allows you to expand the RAM (Random Access Memory) of your device, which is responsible for your smartphone’s ability to multitask, i.e., smoothly run multiple apps simultaneously, and quickly retrieve frequently accessed files and apps. With memory fusion, the RAM on your Spark 8C can be expanded by as much as 100% and what’s more interesting is that you could do this right within the comfort of your home!

Compared to a phone without Memory Fusion, a Spark 8C smartphone updated with the technology allows for an increased number of active applications running in the background, a more time-efficient warm reboot process, and a shorter load time for frequently and recently used applications. Specifically, on the 3GB + 64GB variant of the Spark 8C, which allows for up to a 3GB increase of RAM, devices saw a 45% increase in start-up speed of actively running applications and improvement in the time it takes to load frequently used applications.

One can conveniently locate and toggle the Memory Fusion setting on TECNO’s user-friendly interface before selecting a preferred expansion capacity. Expansion of RAM storage capacity varies across different models. TECNO’s Memory Fusion Technology allows expansion of up to 3GB on the Spark 8C.

To enable memory fusion on the Spark 8C, there are two OTA (Over the Air) update versions – v.032 & v.034, one would need to download and install. The device would typically notify the user on available updates; however, they can also be manually checked for in “system update” located in the smartphone’s settings. The memory fusion function comes with the v.034 update, hence you would need to first download and install v.032, after which update v.034 will be available for download/install.

But u didn't show us how to increase the RAM. Pls how can I do mine?? Have upgraded mine to the latest version already.

Nna ehh

Lol. Only to deceive the less tech savvy ones. Anybody who knows how RAM and ROM works in a computer will see this as bullcrap. I smell lots of dead devices soon. Reminds me of the old SWAP days. I'm not saying it's not working oo just that it is better to have more actual RAM than using part of your storage as RAM before they come for my neck.

Isn't this supposed to be the same as rooting?

No but this was one of the features that required root back in the day.

This is nice! Kudos to them

but it's already shown in the image na

Something xiaomi and oppo have been doing since 2017

These ones are just making cheap copies of a stale feature and yet they use it to make news

Na only fools and idiot day fall for these gimmicks

This will increase the wear and tear on the storage shortening it's life cycle and I know transsion no dey too use high quality memory chips because it's the most common failure point on their phones.

But Xiaomi did it too

It's a good advantage to have memory fusion featured in a budgeted device like spark 8c.

Lol. Gibberish? You must be a novice in computing. Go get acquainted and come at me with facts.

is that all?

That's great. To even know think it's on a midrange phone that's very affordable, that's awesome

Memory Fusion giving more storage space for your documents and files. Great one

Novices everywhere. What has that got to do with saving files?

Fantastic of them to do, really makes sense.

nah, I don't really think so
