Anonymous, 27 Sep 2014That synthetic graphics benchmark is going to be a lot of u... moreAre you sure? Apple uses the fastest Flash memory on the market(900MB/s), from Samsung nevertheless. The others use cheaper 450Mb/s Flash, including Samsung. That 1GB of RAM btw, is sufficient to load a BMP picture of 18.257x18.257 pixels at 16 Million colours(24bit/pixel) or 166 full HD 1080p screens. And you need at most 60 full HD screens per second on a full HD screen. On a 2K screen you'll need double than that(120 full HD screens per second) and still you have place to spare on that 1GB of RAM. The problem arrises when you need to replace that data from the RAM. On the iPhone 6 you can do it in a second, but you need to replace only less than half of it(for 60 screens, for iPhone 6 Plus).
On the Android Phones you can replace only 450MB of data / second, or about 70-80 fullHD screens. If you replace data for 60 screens you have for spare data only for 10-20 screens. And guess what? For 2K screens, the Flash on the Android phones is too slow to transfer data for 60fps, no matter the RAM size(once the RAM fills up, you need to replace old data). So it transfers less in fact(1K at most) and the GPU just scales it to 2K.

Iph... moreThat synthetic graphics benchmark is going to be a lot of use to you when your Web pages keep having to reload due to having half the RAM. Let's also not forget that a proportion of that RAM is required for graphics memory, and you have less of it :P

Tim, 27 Sep 2014Your Android device is not as safe as Apple let alone Black... moreTim, you are fascinating:
my entire argument was about something else: that you, Tim, are not important. I don't want to hurt your feelings. I want you to understand that security is not as important as BB and Apple guys want you to think.
Look, a simple exercise:
imagine that nobody cares for me. I go to the store to buy a phone. I have 45 features to choose from. Security is no. 26. Should I choose it? Hmmm, no, because I should give up features no 1-10 and 30-45.
Or, in more simple words: if I want to sell you a product which has only some features, I should be insane to speak with you about other potential features. Instead, I would organize a national campaign, explaining each and every one how important they are to me. Then, I would instill some more fear about potential threats. Then, I would present to you the new, EXTRA SECURE BB or Apple phone. Perfect.
You create the context, you create the need, and then you sell the product that covers that need. It's called basic marketing.
The sooner you will understand this, the sooner you will challenge that fear of yours, the better.

Aluminum alloy 6061-T6 is not good for BendGate.
Apple should consider to use 7075-T6. This material is used for constructing fuselage of Space Shuttle.

that will going shit the Ad420 performance like crazy..
One thing is Tegra K1 will killed both like hell.
Apple 750p is the best for mobile gaming cyrrent practical useable
1440p is junk and too early to be standard.

If a director of Google states that Android was designed with easy of use in mind and not security, as has been reported in this forum and also in most related technical publications, and most research on security puts BB at the top of the pact, oh and yes Samsung put out urgent security upgrades in the last 6 months, as reported in this forum, oh and yes their famed KNOX does not work, and what else, oh yes my tech savy clever friends can still crack a Samsung with ease, then perhaps you dont know what you are talking about.

how come nobody mentioned one of the biggest drawbacks - they no longer have BLACK version?!?
that's a showstopper even for moderate iPhone fans, there's only grey washed-out color available, which looks, rather, cheap.
not to mention the iOS esthetics suits 3 year old rather than business oriented grown up people. Android L is generation ahead with UX.

With the heavier memory requirements of iOS 8, 1GB DRAM is deficient and causes more frequent Safari browser reloads on complex pages that consume all your mobile data cap. This is worse than the bend issue but doesn't get any attention.
