i was just abt to mention this but u beat me to it. i use 2013 lumia 620 with 512mb ram. It worka really well with very minute almost negligible lag times. Then i picked up my gf's infinix with octa core processor and 2gb ram running on kit kat and when it lags more than or almost the same as my windows phone 8.1 lumia 620 im like WTF. This thing has times 4 my lumia 620 ram. It shouldnt lag at all. Same for my dad's galaxy S4. Now imagine how a 2gb lumia will be. It will simply be heaven. An android with 512mb running kit kat would lag so much it willl almost be unusable.
mehn am liking this guy my brothers lumia 520 rarely hangs and he has asphalt 8,gt racing 2,real steel,six guns and its just 512MB RAM even with windows 8.1 compared to the S4 played real racing on the S4 the thing hanged when I wanted to quit the game imagine smh

Many are mad, few are roaming.
you have a ram of 512mb and you're expecting lightening speed.
I'm guessing you know little about smart phones.
1. It hangs a lot . Solution: Get a phone with at least 2gig RAM.
2. Drains battery. Solution: Don't use a phone with a battery lower than 3500mAh.
3. Drains data. Solution: Restrict background data in phone setting(I mean everyone knows dat na!).
4. Over heats. Solution: Don't use your phone while charging. It also lowers the battery life.
5.Box of malware. Solution: Always check the ratings and comment before you download an app on Google play store.
even with 2GB RAM it will still hang the ba3 part I agree with u,Drains Data pls use EDGE to chat not H+ drains data a lot. Over heat I agree with u and pls when u see a malware app on playstore won't u knw

if this is true, oem's would not bother upgrading the memory of the ram because they are the most expensive item(along with screen) in building a phone. Look at iphone... iphone 4 to 6 all use 1gb ram
just shut up already! I used gionee e5 woth one gig ram for about 8 months and I did not experience lagging on the phone for once

Re: 5 Major Disadvantages Of Android by lawrenceunaa: 10:07pm On Jan 03, 2015
Op paste the link u copied this poo from. Y wont a low device hang when u want it to perform a task that is RAM demanding. Op u are just being unreasonable For saying ios and wp don't hang pls hw many task are they performing? No matter hw low in raw an android phone is its owner would want to tweak it over its capacity grin so hanging of an android is not a problem since i don't need to also use a laptop to fix small issues like in ios and wp


Conclusion:I L♡VE AN DRO♩D

Re: 5 Major Disadvantages Of Android by Nobody: 10:31pm On Jan 03, 2015
use galaxy s5 with 3gb ram and very fast processor and tell me if it hangs. Use gionee m3 and tell me if ur battery drains very fast. Download apps from trusted developers on google play and tell me if ur phone heats or has malware. The only reasonable point here is that android consumes data cos : 1-if ur background data is on,it will definitely consume it,if ur sync is on,it will always consume it. Besides, there are trusted apps to manage ur data efficiently on playstore. Moreover, Android ain't for broke fella like u who can't afford #3000 subscription per month.

Your research is too poor… You buy an android phone with 512 ram and you play a game that occupies the whole ram while playing music and at same time browsing and you expect the android not to hang. Get an android phone with a better ram cos android rocks… And for the data am so ok with it… Switch off your data while you ain't browsing and mtn night's plan solve all that… Simple…

Re: 5 Major Disadvantages Of Android by Nobody: 10:39pm On Jan 03, 2015
The op is absolutely right. I've been an avid fan of android right from inception and have used lots of high end androids. even with the so called high end hardwares, they still hang. I recently got an ipad2 and I must tell u, iOS beats android hands down. I'm saying this cos I never believed I would one day admit it. ipad2 is just 512mb of ram and has never hung on me even with several games running concurrently in the background. the graphics is superb and the sound beats even the most recent high ends. battery life is second to none. As much as I hated iOS products back then, calling it overpriced devices, I must say that its a lie. most ppl that says that are just broke as.s who can't afford a good premium product like apple. my next devices would be able but will still keep android possibly for playing around and tweaking.

iOS rules them all. iOS doesn't need 2gb RAM, its always been 1gb ram at most. so stop dissing the op, deal with the points raised. I'm typing this with xperia z2 so don't say I don't know what I'm saying. its just the simple truth.

uchelovesyou:
IOS doesn't hang but drains battery and data but WP hangs a lot and even drains battery than Android .... My friends WP only for him to type message on BBM his battery went from 80% - 50%
IOS drains battery i agree but WP hanging is a lie my lumia 630 with 512MB RAM handles Alsphat 8 of 998mb very well without hanging i was even worried dat d game will not work bcuz of d phone's RAM but i was suprised by how smooth d game played on my phone, BBM is just about 15mb on WP and i don't see how a 15mb app would hang on a phone dat can run an app of 1gb smoothly. The only problem is dat d BBM on WP is not yet stable. As for d battery drainning problem i think ur friend's battery might b faulty bcuz my battery last's me up to 6hrs on heavy usage.
