Just a few days ago, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy J2 Pro with integrated Turbo Speed Technology, and while there wasn't much information on the new feature, the company has now released a video to explain what this actually does.

Samsung introduced the Galaxy J2 Pro as a slightly upgraded version of the Galaxy J2 (2016), which debuted earlier this month. You might recall that the novelty on the Galaxy J2 (2016) is the Smart Glow notification setup on the back of the phone.

But the novelty on the Galaxy J2 Pro is the Turbo Speed Technology, which is used for optimizing RAM performance on the handset. Now Samsung has released a video to explain what the Turbo Speed Technology (TST) RAM management engine actually does. What we find out is that the system loads applications up to 40% faster than a unit with double the RAM capacity.

Turbo Speed Technology was created to load applications faster

The solution was developed in order to improve critical smartphone performance metrics, including app load times, multitasking fluidity, and RAM memory utilization efficiency. Granted, some third-party apps on the Play store do just that, but Samsung's technology is directly integrated into the device.

Instead of upping RAM capacity and processor power, Samsung focused on creating a technology that optimizes system resources and allows the phone to complete tasks faster compared to other handsets on the market, according to the company.

Samsung re-engineered essential apps on the device, like contacts, gallery, calendar, and more. The size and memory footprint of these core apps were reduced so that they would load and perform tasks faster.

The whole purpose was for applications to load up to 40% more quickly than on a smartphone with double the memory capacity of the Galaxy J2 Pro, with Samsung expected to introduce the technology across other smartphones. The Galaxy J2 Pro comes with 2GB of RAM, a 5.5-inch Super AMOLED display, and a 1.5GHz Spreadtrum SC8830 quad-core processor, coupled with a Mali-400MP2 graphics processing unit.
