She must have CPR'd her way to the job role. She's decent looking but breaking the internet is over the top. Nothing special tbh.

PhonesRe: Do We Really Need 6GB Of RAM On Our Smartphones? by Mountbatten: 10:15am On Mar 19, 2017

The iPhone is more efficient because of the language used to write apps. Android apps are mostly written in Java which has a garbage collector, while the iPhone doesn't allow Objective C to use a garbage collector.

Most top end android phones, use the same processor or a similar processor to the iPhone.
I don't agree with the last sentence. Yes, high end flagship devices are competitive but the A9 processor is still up there with the latest Exynos and Snapdragon processors. The A10 blows everything out there.

No,

I'll tell you why

I did write an article about Smartphones one shouldn't buy in 2017 and I did touch this area check it out here http://www.droidpost.com/2017/01/smartphones-must-not-buy-in-2017-guide.html

Most phones run on processors that are 32bit and a 32bit cpu has a bus width of 32 which means that's the highest amount of data at an instant​, I know this is too technical... computer scientist would understand. but bottom line is a 32bit processor can access/use maximum of 4G of ram no matter that amount available.
The above is just the technical part.

but if the device is 64bit fine for the 6G ram but currently no application needs ot

Now, RAM too is just a container(albeit temporary) for resources/assets of an application, so it doesn't determine how fast your device handles proceses. 4G ram is best and cam handle any app or multitasking​ you want to do on your smartphone anything more than that is marketing gimmicks started by the Chinese guys. Many won't tell you it's actually your processor that handles/determines how fast your phone would be
Exactly. This is why I'm strongly against MediaTech processors and advise against getting devices running them except all you do is make calls, text and occasional browsing.

Devices powered by Snapdragon, Exynos and Fusion A Chips are more powerful, optimised and power consumption friendly than MT processors.

This was what I was expecting to see, the thing is AOSP (better known as android) has always been resource hungry, when I mean resource,I am talking about things like memory and power. But google has been doing a great job at optimising it over the years.

Manufacturers of smartphones nowadays (esp in d android market) have engaged in what is popularly called 'spec wars', this involves packing d smartphone with mad specs like UHD screen resolution, 8gigs of ram, octacore or even decacore chipsets etc. All these are not needed especially the RAM, what is needed is optimization of the software to b less resource hungry.

This is where I envy iOS, am not really sure how it's done, but all u need on a flagship iPhone is 2gigs of ram, 3gigs is an overkill. All these manufacturers are just trying to justify d crazy prices they charge for smartphones by overkilling d spec sheet
Spot on. This is the reason why I now use an iPhone. When my upgrade was due, I had a choice between Google Pixel and iPhone 7 but went with the latter due to the underlying problems Android devices have consistently had. Optimisation is what makes a device a good daily driver which is why iPhone is the best smartphone money can buy.

Funny how these Android devices with mouth watering specs come short against iPhone 7/7+ in benchmark tests. Most Android phones look like concept phones and are not really practical which is why they have a very short lifespan. For example, my Dad's old iPhone 4 (2011) is still running fine although not as fast as the newer iterations obviously while my HTC Sensation XE (2012) is stuck in boot loop and battery lasts for just under an hour.

It's a first in tecno's world, not in the general public mobile market.




p.s the battery is 4100mah..... even my note 3 has more battery capacity in a smaller body
If it's a galaxy note 3 then you're lying. It's about 3000MAh

Sorry but there's better in the market for more competitive price.

1GB RAM on an Android device in 2017 is a bloody joke. 16GB internal storage? Are you fûcking kidding me? No 4G/LTE network band support? Wow!
PhonesRe: Do We Really Need 6GB Of RAM On Our Smartphones? by Mountbatten: 3:09am On Mar 19, 2017
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.

PhonesRe: What Do You Love Most About Your Phone? by Mountbatten: 5:28am On Feb 21, 2017
iPhone 7.

- Battery life is solid, goes a whole day without charging

- Camera is the best on any smartphone

- TouchID makes logging into apps and the phone more convenient plus I can make payments with it.

- A10 processor is the fastest in the market. Apps don't crash and run smoothly on it.

- Taptic feedback and 3D Touch is awesome

- Build quality. This phone is gorgeous in matte black.

- 128GB storage gives me enough room to store apps, download my Spotify library and save tons of pictures and documents.

- Stereo speakers are loud and crisp
