Hello、munejyuka。

When using a smartphone、Among the words we often hear

giga

There is。

How many gigs does your smartphone have?

とか

Not enough giga!

And so on。

When purchasing a computer or tablet device、

This is 128 giga

Sometimes people say things like。

The giga used at this time、Is it different from the giga you use when you don't have enough giga?
Or is it the same thing?

I was a little concerned、About this word giga、I did some research to be able to explain it properly.。

Same name but different content

The word giga is actually、It represents the unit。

Other things that represent units are、

kilo、mega、Terra

There is。
I think many people have heard the words "megabyte" and "ichitera".。
“Giga” is the difference in size (capacity) between “Mega” and “Terra” used at this time.。

Giga indicates the capacity of smartphones, tablets, and computers.

First of all、I will explain giga, which is used to express the capacity of smartphones and computers.。

When buying a smartphone or computer、I think there are a few things to be concerned about.。

Early September 2021、has capacity。

This model can save 〇〇 photo data.、If you use another model, you can save 〇〇〇 images.

This giga comes out at times like this.。

Let's use a smartphone as an example.、64 GB smartphone and 128 GB smartphone、The latter has a larger capacity.、This means that you can store a lot of data.。

Simply the larger the number、This means that the amount of data that can be stored will also increase.。

Giga as data communication amount

Another thing I often hear about is giga.、Giga as data communication amount。

Make a call from your smartphone or tablet、look at the internet、We use the word giga as a unit to express the amount of communication used when watching a video.。

・This month's data communication amount is 〇〇 giga

・When you subscribe to this plan、You don't have to worry about the number of gigabytes because you can use it as much as you like.

I had a conversation like、You've probably heard of it.。

Summary

Giga represents the capacity of the main body of a smartphone or computer.、It is completely different from giga, which represents data communication amount.。

but、They are expressed using the same word。

Just understand this part、I don't think it would be that confusing.。

At a time when cell phones and computers were not as popular as they are now, they were almost never used.

giga

The word is、I want to understand and respond properly.。

each other、let's do our best! !!
