Authors of mobile games urged smartphone manufacturers to increase memory in devices. This was reported by Bloomberg.

According to analysts of the agency, in the future, the mobile gaming market will face a problem with small-sized smartphone storage devices. Experts emphasized that modern smartphone games have become too “heavy” and many users are forced to abandon them due to the small storage capacity of their devices.

As an example, journalists gave the popular game Genshin Impact, whose size is about 20 gigabytes. Other popular games – PUBG Mobile, Uma Musume, The Idolmaster Cinderella Girls Starlight Stage – “weight” about 15, 20 and 35 gigabytes, respectively. In this context, experts predicted that a gradual increase in the size of the phone’s basic storage will lead to games.

“A typical flagship smartphone today has 128 gigabytes of memory, but many devices already in the hands of users have much less,” the authors wrote. In addition to games, the operating system, photos, videos and other content are stored in the device’s memory.

“Devices with large amounts of memory can cost up to 50 percent more, and most users are unaware that applications require a lot more space,” said Francisco Geronimo, vice president of research firm IDC. “The only hope is that phone manufacturers realize this is a critical issue for their ecosystem and offer models with a large amount of memory,” said Hideki Yasuda, an analyst at Toyo Securities.
