Xperia J and 512 MB RAM

I asked a question in the Sony forum, but I did not get a clear answer. My Xperia J has only 380MB of RAM, and in white paper is written that the device has 512MB of RAM. What other components utilize the remaining memory?

Solution

  • RAM usage is mentioned in this article on the difference between Gingerbread and ICS.

    "Out of our 512MB RAM, about a third is used for functions that require a dedicated memory slot to operate fast enough. For example, this is the case for certain multimedia functions."

    • You can not free this memory
