          s5 mini has 1.5 GB of ram just like s4 mini but it will be getting lollipop!? Is this another foolish move that will force people to buy new phones with the same hardware only with updated os!?

            It's got 8 GB memory and 1.5 GB RAM. It should be able to handle it, the Moto G 2013 does.

                  AnonD-386639, 25 Apr 2015the reason is s4 mini can't run lollipop is the internal me... moreReally ? Since my Mega 6.3 LTE I9205 runs on same chip as S4mini but come with 16GB & 1.5GB RAM, can you tell me why it doesn't get Lollipop update, infact it didn't even get KitKat update.

                  Why ?

                  Stop the bull if you know nothing.

                              AnonD-280302, 25 Apr 2015That's good, they treated my S3 the same way :Dthe reason is s4 mini can't run lollipop is the internal memory(8Gb). the reason behind s3 cant receive kitkat or lollipop is because of insufficient ram(1Gb). but the lte variant of s3 got updated to kitkat. Samsung tried their best.

                                      S4 mini was lucky to get KitKat in the first place knowing Samsung...
                                      S3 mini never got any update and got stuck to 4.1
                                      They got many devices with 1.5 GB of ram that they run lollipop including s5 mini. Just say it reached EOL and cut the bullpoop.
