3.20 How are my phone ROM and RAM allocated?
The ROM and RAM sizes displayed on your phone may be smaller than the values in the
phone specifications, because the system occupies a part. The ALE-L21 has a 16 GB ROM
and 2 GB RAM. Except for the part that is occupied by the system, you have an available
RAM of at least 1.1 GB.
16 GB ROM
The ROM contains system applications, files, and databases, which takes up about 5 GB and
is hidden from users. The ROM space available to users is 10.38 GB. You can use this 10.38
GB space to store any types of files.
