In terms of specifications, the Huawei Nova 3i contains 4GB of RAM and an internal storage of 128GB. On the other hand, the OPPO F9 has 6GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. Both of their internal storage can be expanded via a microSD card. Looking at their specs, you’ll speculate that in terms of RAM, the OPPO F9 has the advantage whereas when you look at their internal storages, the Huawei Nova 3i clearly has the upper hand.

For some reference, RAM is storage used for a place to hold data. What this does is aid your phone in multi-tasking as well as speed up your device. This also prevents your phone from lagging when there are multiple applications that are open. The larger the RAM, the faster the performance. As for the internal storage, its name is explanatory.

Determining which smartphone has a better storage will depend on the user’s priority in a phone. If you are the type of person who stores a lot on their device like music, photos, videos, games, etc.; then the Huawei Nova 3i is a better choice since it sports a large 128GB internal memory.

Ultimately, smartphones are commonly used for daily activities such as listening to music, playing games, and taking pictures. More and more social media applications that are dependent on pictures and videos are appearing as well. This means that in the end, it would be more beneficial to have a larger storage rather than a larger RAM since the user will be able to store more applications on the device. On that note, in this case, the Huawei Nova 3i has the better storage.
