As long as the world keeps spinning, Tech will keep evolving. 10GB of Ram is welcome on phone. we now have 32GB ram for Computers

iPhones with smaller batteries last longer than Android with bigger batteries? I don't think so.

It's like saying the iPhone 6 battery 1810mAH will last longer than the Tecno L9+ that is 5000mAH simply because it's iPhone :/
i used the word MOST

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.

There is nothing like stupid question, only stupid answers like yours to questions posed for more clarifications. Furthermore, perspectives and reasoning differentiates intelligent response from unintelligent ones like yours.


Well well,your poser question didn't even do justice in trying to answer.

So I still assume it's a stupid question.
But well, i do not care about you or your buggy reasoning. The more they keep building phones with bigger RAM the easier my work becomes.
Cheers

I'm quite shocked at his arrogant behaviour! Someone asked a great question and he's being silly.
I apologise for sounding arrogant..

It seemed to me ,like somebody asking whether we need cars with better fuel efficiency.such a ridiculous poser question. Of course we need more RAM because the memory management of the whole android java framework os is it's bane.

Well, growing old is inevitable but growing up is a choice. Buggy reasoning? Thanks for doing justice to how you reason. Enjoy

Well, I think the RAM and the processor of a phone are dependable on each other, as long as the RAM is huge and the processor is perfect, I'm good to go. That's why I prefer the phantom 6+, perfectly built.

Even my lg g2 with 2 gig ram has never lagged, playing whatsoever HD game u want. PSp games, mortal kombat, asphalt etc.

The highest we need is 3 gig ram,with a good processor.
6 gig ram. Are we gonna start playing ps4 quality games in it?

Having 6gb of ram on a phone doesn't mean its going to perform every task effectively. It has to be paired with this specs in other to perform any task effectively.

OS- Android OS, v6.0.1 (Marshmallow), upgradable to v7.1.1 (Nougat)
Chipset- Qualcomm MSM8996 Snapdragon 821
CPU- Quad-core (2x2.35 GHz Kryo & 2x1.6 GHz Kryo)
GPU- Adreno 530

Oneplus 3t and Samsung s7 are the top phones which have all the above specs listed but they come at very high price
Re: Do We Really Need 6GB Of RAM On Our Smartphones? by Nobody: 12:24pm On Mar 19, 2017
This is why apple iphone beats android,instead of making bigger ram,they focus on optimisation and speed,a well optimised 2gb ram device with respect to its processor will be smoother than a 4gb ram device,too much ram isnt as necessary as processor speed and system optimization.

its not a future spec. Its a present spec.q
Samsung has beeen reported to using a 6gb ram on the s8.
point of correction, Nø.18 should've been Samsung Galaxy note 7 "grenade" lol

thank you jare. They don't know anything. They think it's by having excess ramsss and sheeps!!!!

iPhone 6s Plus with 2gig ram will out perform any android phone with 4 to 6gig ram.


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?

Tell me one phone that doesn't lag. Just one phone

your comment shows u are naive in programming.. Android and IOS cant go beyond what u do currently becausr of their CPU architecture......android cant be smoother and more efficient compared to IOS,until it changes her programming language
Replying you is honestly embarrassing because it's hard for me to understand the lack of imagination and the inability to properly understand a post before commenting and talking nonsense.

My focus is on the evolution of smartphones. What they were, what they are now with Camera, gyrometers, accelerometers.......etc, and what the future holds for them. In the future i believe more tech and software will be added that would require more Ram.

There are already 6gb ram smartphones in the market for your information. Maybe not totally necessary for todays general use, but highly feasible for 2020 at a minimum.

10 GB RAM wont solve it.....until google move android away from java

the more the ram,the poorer the battery efficiency....have u wondered y iphones with smaller battery last longer than most android with bigger batteries?


False. IPhones have abysmal batteries despite pushing less pixels

i agree with ur first point but the second i think is a shallow minded statement, u can't just assume an iPhone 6s of 2gb of ram will out perform all android phones both new and old, common be realistic

that's your I still insists you are naive...... In a yr time, Microsoft will launch s surface phone which will have up to 16gb ram....... But, the architecture won't be RISC. It will be CISC. What's my point.? The current RISC devices such as Android and ios might not be the future as a result of the of architecture restrictions. Having 8gb ram or more on risc devices will be useless..... This is what is happening in tablet sector.full Windows tablets is the only tablet sector growing, while Android and ipad tablets are plummeting.
