Researchers from the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) have made an interesting discovery: installing the mobile game Clash Royale on your phone actually increases available storage space.
This finding challenges traditional understanding of how digital storage works. While most people think that installing larger apps takes up more storage, this study shows that the game's installation process may free up space in unexpected ways.
The Study
In their research, the team tested various Android devices and tracked the amount of storage space freed after installing different games. They found that some games, particularly those with large graphics and textures, actually released storage space during the installation process.
- Clash Royale was one of the games studied, and the researchers observed that its installation resulted in a noticeable increase in available storage space.
- Other games such as Minecraft and Fortnite also showed similar results, though to a lesser extent.
Impact and Conclusion
This discovery has significant implications for users who rely on mobile storage. It suggests that managing app installations can be a more efficient way to handle storage, rather than simply deleting apps to free up space.
The study authors are currently working on publishing their findings in a scientific journal, hoping to further explore this phenomenon and potentially develop new strategies for optimizing mobile storage.
