    Super Dave 01, 12 Feb 2021Hey there Cliff Clavin (AnonD-961600) are you high on crack... more" who in their right mind has 50 apps running in the background anyways🤔 !!! "

    Do you not know that the majority of users run original software with plenty of background processes and bloatware active?

    Go ahead and download a task manager and be surprised how many run on your phone.

        Thanks.

            People needs more chices because some brands are pretty damn expensive compared to manufacturing price and they are made in china anyway.

              Anonymous, 12 Feb 2021SD450 is enough for most. No, SD450 is far from good enough for most people. I don’t know were you get that from, but from experience working in retail. A good smartphone experience would start at the SD700-series, and no question. With everything below (SD600 - series is to a lesser degree) being underpowered, unless the phone run pure android like the Nokias. But even those feel sluggish. So no, if you value a good smartphone NEVER even consider anything less than a SD7xx, SD6xx is passable.

First pay the ODM development and manufacture to Foxconn, then the profits for OnwardMobility, a Texas based startup built for milk the BB premium brand... then add the leasing fee for the brand owner or the profits for Blackberry itself that let OnwardMobility use their brand and manage those phones production. So three layers of big profits for each phone above the smallers ones for the components and manufacture providers.

                                blue.sun, 12 Feb 2021Snap 855 is not enough? Kidding, right? True, look at ios, it has 2 times powerfull cpu to run Darwin OS, iOS is vs android is true heavy multitasking OS, since it has 3 layers for cpu to handel, apps, platform, java, while ios has 1 platform, that's why iOS never lags. How very cheap off Apple.

Just put them on sleep, but it will not run nor willbyiu recice notifications off important. On iOS it stays froozen thats why iOS iOS doesn't need more Ram, since it stays on cache, while android it stays live active running in background taking up memory and cpu. That's why bloatware slows doen phone unkess you have 16 or 24 gb ram, having 100 apps wont slow down or hog the memory since 16gb Ram is alot off memory,
