Seems u know nothing about RAM too, the bigger the RAM the better multitasking u get. RAM is far more dan stability, RAM entails more on speed.
512MB RAM is good for iphone or windows cus they are not heavily customised by their OEMs. hardware specs has nothing to do with lag issue on a device, it all boils dwn 2 the software customization by the OEM.
If u truelly wanna know the power of RAM especially 3GB RAM, try handle a NEXUS device dat is pure Android with no extra customization.
Same in pc world, i'd die for a system with 16/32GB RAM dan a 4/8GB RAM

Nexus 6, though a good phone is not the smoothest android phone even with lollipop on board. Do ur research, HTC one m7 and m8 are smoother than nexus 6 even with 2gb of ram. It all boils down to software optimization.

And u can't compare a computer's ram with phones. If someone can manufacture a system with 2gb of ram that will do the same task flawlessly like the one with 32gb of ram, then there wouldn't be the need for adding more RAMs as it would be a waste of resources.

It doesn't matter the number of background apps running. Why don't u tell me the importance of the running background apps and tell me iOS can't match up. This is why an android phone with 3,000mah battery will run out of battery faster than an iOS device with 2,500mah battery.

In order words. More RAM is useless and a gimmick right? Barman give this guy a chilled zobo

The time I checked, the phones with best battery life are droids. Sony z3 kills iPhone 6 battery despite been released earlier.

abatically:


We are still saying the same thing. Androids are power hungry because of useless background apps and that is why they need BIGGER BATTERIES to power them.

Sony xperia z3 has 3,100mah battery while iPhone 6 has 1,810mah battery. On paper that is no match, but in reality, while the Sony has better talktime, the difference is not so much in web browsing and media playback. In fact when browsing the web at full charge, the xperia will not last more than 45 minutes than iPhone 5. So the difference in real life usage is not so much, but the difference in battery size is so so much. This shows iPhone software are better optimized to use small resources to give better outputs.

I doubt if uv ever seen a much more used Sony's flagship device......

fortech91:
Before you compare iPhone with an Android smartphone, you must first determine which of the latest devices coming from MWC is the flagship Android smartphone (am looking @ u HTC One M9)
Check: Galaxy S9 vs One M9 vs Xperia M4

I didn't say that. What I said is more ram are useless when not needed which is the case with iPhone. An iPhone with 1gb of ram will run every app as fast ( if mot faster ) as a galaxy note 4 with 3gb of ram. So apple have no reason to add more rams since it is not needed. They will add it when it becomes needed. So it all depends on software optimization. Same way some 8mp shooters take better pictures than some 16 megapixel phones.

abatically:


I guess u didn't get what I wrote. U should read again. What I meant is while browsing web pages alone at full charge, if the iPhone lasts 10hrs 30 mins, xperia z3 will last approximately 11hrs 15 mins. Which is not a great difference comparing how huge the xperia battery is.

Now to further prove to u that bigger battery doesn't always mean better performance, let's compare the iPhone 6 with LG g3. The g3 has 3,000 mah battery vs iPhone 6 1,810 mah battery. The G3 has twice the talk than the iphone, but when it comes to web browsing, lg g3 will only last 6 and half hours while iPhone 6 will last 10and half hours. Also for media playback, lg g3 will last just 8 and half hours while the iPhone 6 will last 9 and half hours. This shows the iPhone has better screen on time even with its smaller battery.

So again, software optimization is more important than adding more RAM, or bigger battery or more megapixels which is where apple shines.

The z3 came with older chipset which is power hungry and not android perse. Kitkat isn't really power hungry, lollipop is more power efficient. IPhone 6 is with a better chipset and newer OS version.

Iphone don't trully multi task. So having a ram with more ram in order to aide multi task isn't needed.

kallmemrB:
nice post but seems u dont know shit abt Ram ....a 512ram of a window phone is more stable than a 2Gb ram of a Tecno,1gm ram of htc and samsung phones...have u ever wondered Why?......S6 processor is amazing though but samsung are know for their cheap chipset


Well I usually tell people that Iphones are just over-hype gadgets with huge price tag....40k android phone can function wella than a 130k Iphone

abatically:


Pls explain to me the multitasking u are talking about, can u break it down.

Flashfash:



A8 and other Apple processors are really catered for single task duties using single core proccessors. Look at the benchmarks. That is the area they excel at. And since iOS an app drawer and lacks real multi-tasking like Android, of course it can appear smoother. Apple processors are always behind in multi core

abatically:


You call snapdragon 801 an older chipset? The successor is snapdragon 805 and 810 is just being used on 2015 phones. Snapdragon 801 is even thought to be better than 805. And don't be deceived, lollipop is also power hungry, I run lollipop on my 2 phones. If Lollipop is more power efficient then why does the Nexus 6 have an average battery life even with its gigantic 3220 mAh battery. And mind u it runs undiluted stock lollipop, so it should be having a great battery life, but hell no, Galaxy note 4, xperia z3 and z2, all have better battery life even with customized version of kitkat.

Qualcomm has been messing up since 801. That's why sammy ditched 810 for their in house chipset which is a brilliant move. Yes, 801 is outdated. All OS versions are power hungry, iOS8 is too and it's even more unstable than Lollipop. Which devices are you talking about?

Why do you think note 4(exynos) with less battery capacity than nexus 6 and even with Touchwiz lasts longer? Sony is one of the oems that's poor in calibration and optimisation. Sony sensor is usually been used for camera get they produce worst images. Review HTC m8 battery, it last for a day on Kk. Lollipop improved it magnificently.

Tech fans will always discuss new innovations and ever changing trends, its a passion, doesn't mean they are all rushing out to get these phones...

Op am guessing you don't kw much about apple fones, the s6 is better but not because of what you wrote.

Apple products don't care much about ram size for example my Samsung note 10.1 has 3gig ram but ipad air with 1gig ram is more stable

Nothing in the world of processor beats apple A8 it's a holy grail for processors and why can't u compare them just use benchmark apps

Apple camera was poor but Samsung screen is only better because apple came out last year

Nothing kills apple, It has a loyal fan Base that even Jesus christ will be proud of!!

Samsung S6 will be quite expensive~~~

obosirow:
Android does true multitasking of apps, just like windows OS on PC.. multiple apps running and updating simultaneously on the background. App optimization is also a key factor and Samsung has decided to do same by drilling down the presence of their own skinning (Touch wiz) of the Stock android. Additionally, Samsung is using the latest in mobile ram architecture - DDR4 as well as fastest flash storage in the industry. All these result in improved overall speed and performance.

Apple iOS does not do true multitasking. The app on the foreground is usually the only app using the processor as well as battery and as such makes the device appear to run smoother and battery last longer. Most apps indicated as running on the background are usually running in an 'hibernated' state. You click them and they resume from the last time you ran them.

Lindsaywhatup:
Do not know Yet.

But it is said that Galaxy S6 might have a short battery life since its battery capacity is only 2550mAh, largely smaller than that of phones with the same size.

Besides, high resolution of it will be battery consuming.

And to many people's disappointment, S6 also has an irremovable battery, different from Samsung's previous smartphones.

Therefore, you might need to charge S6 at least twice in a day if you get one.
