AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)02/12 Report--

According to the car blogger, recently, the owner of smart Spirit # 1 said that the memory (7.28G) and storage (60.1G) displayed in the smart system were only about half of the data on the configuration table (120.128), which is suspected to be reduced.

In response to the rumors of "memory and storage space reduction of smart Genie # 1", the smart brand issued an official statement on February 12. First of all, the smart elf # 1 is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip to run both instrumentation and infotainment systems on Qualcomm's Hypervisor system, smart said in a statement. At the same time, smart Wizard # 1 uses a 12.8inch central control screen, and its car system has 128g of memory and 128GB storage space, which is consistent with the official product configuration table information, and there is no reduction. Second, as with all today's smart devices (such as smartphones, computers, tablets, etc.), their operating systems (such as Android, windows) have to take up memory and storage space in order to ensure their proper operation. Similarly, in order to ensure the normal operation of the vehicle system, the operating system occupies a certain amount of memory and storage space. The available memory and storage space displayed by the car machine are the corresponding data after excluding the occupation of the operating system.

At the same time, smart officials will later optimize the display through online upgrades of OTA to avoid similar misunderstandings. Smart officials stressed that smart officials will reserve the right to pursue legal liability for those who maliciously spread rumors.
