Lol. Anything to make the iphone superior is allowed.
Btw, a product was rated the best and the criterias by "VanBommel" for such award is because of one or two features.

Splendid
Hmmm, funny dude

VanBommel:
that's the thing, I don't buy the idea of putting so much RAM on phones
6gb of ram won't favor users, it will cause more harm to battery efficiency. They are using it to entice buyers, as the manufacturers now lack innovations

I have to agree with you completely, '' Processor speed, optimisation and performance is truly > than RAM size..''
Mountbatten:
More RAM on a phone doesn't necessarily mean it would run smoother than one with less. Yeah, you would be able to run more apps in the background without bogging down the device but software optimisation is more important.

Take for example, my 3GB RAM Android phone lags on performing certain tasks while my iPhone with 2GB RAM has never lagged. Processor speed, optimisation and performance is more important than RAM size.

I have used a handful of android phones, most from the US, to be honest you can't compare their performance to the Iphone
you must have been using low end phones

no, you're wrong. I use high-end phones. I don't go for anything less

If ram isn't important, why the increment in the iPhones?

Iphone 6 is equipped with 1GB ram
Iphone 6s is equipped with 2GB ram


Kindly explain why Apple adds more ram per new iphones released and not just optimise the shit outta the phones while having a less RAM?

Why did Apple equip iphone 7 with 2GB and the 7plus with 3GB?

Why are all the iphone fan boys avoiding this question

Alright, before we talk about how many Gigga-bytes we can put into a smartphone, let’s make sure everybody knows what that is – and how it fits in with other components.... ***Google RAM wink

The more RAM a system has – whether that’s a PC for video editing, Programming or a smartphone; Gaming and Apps – has been proven to speed up performance. In practical application, this means more apps, and more complicated apps can reside in memory at the same time. When things reside in memory (rather than storage) they load faster, look better, and can do all sorts of whitchcraft-bang stuff.

Today’s smartphones usually sport between 1GB and 3GB RAM – with two being the “sweet spot” where performance meets value. Flagships, like Tecno Phantom 6plus Surprised you, me and the world with Super Fast core and of course 4GB RAM – cramming four whopping gigs of RAM inside. Does it help, compared to phones with a “paltry” two gig? Sure it does. Is it worth the extra cash to get the additional gig? Probably not.

I remembered correctly ''few years back'', me and my friends discussing the possibilities of having 3-4GB RAM in a Smartphone. Well i guess that was some ''few years back''
- Quick Questions
Do today’s apps “need” six (or eight) GB RAM to power them? Where are the gamer? Of course not. Would I trade the 3GB in my Tecno Phantom 6 for 1GB? Nope.

What that leaves us with is the same type of question we asked few years back: Is a 6GB smartphone simply overkill, or is it strategically helping to “future-proof” for the apps and OS of tomorrow? We certainly aren’t going to say that my Phantom 6's 3GB RAM ought to be enough for for everyday tasks until 2020” – but I'm curious to hear your thoughts!

Google Recommended RAM size is actually 2GB. What I want in my phone is at least 2GB RAM with a good, speedy precessor. If you hv 10GB RAM and a bad, slow processor, everything is uselezs, same way if you have a good processor and a RAM more than 2GB, the remaining space in the RAM is also useless.

Exactly. Like i keep telling people, More RAM doesn't make your phone perform faster, it only allows you do more things at once.
Re: Do We Really Need 6GB Of RAM On Our Smartphones? by chicwoman(f): 10:28am On Mar 20, 2017
Honestly, If someone is putting 6GB RAM on a phone, they better be prepared to put 6000Mah battery

Re: Do We Really Need 6GB Of RAM On Our Smartphones? by chicwoman(f): 10:29am On Mar 20, 2017
And other features like the battery must keep the pace running
Can't be putting 2000mAH on a 6GB RAM phone, battery will be dying anyhow

This is correct
This is why I like tecno
Not much gb ram and a decent battery size
