Pity on you, desperately relying his life support to SD card.

    AnonD-230406, 18 Feb 2016Lol, we are just sharing real reviews, not the fakes on You... moreWith regards to RAM...

    Android OS is quite RAM efficient as modern OSs go.
    Android 4.4 I could run on my Nexus S, which shares what very little RAM is onboard with the video chip.
    Android 4.4 was at least in part designed for optimising RAM usage.

    So why do our phones use up more than a couple of hundred megabytes?
    They are 'pre-emptying' our need.
    As they have gigabytes of available RAM they might as well use some of it, especially if it in anyway makes the device appear faster.

    The compact Z5 phone has 2GB of RAM and that to me seems like a good amount, given what the device is likely to do.
    In fact I would buy a premium phone that gets everything right and has 2GB of RAM. It would still be more than I would ever need it to have.

    RAM speed and bus speed is way more important. But as consumers are not driven by that metric, it doesn't factor much, nor is mentioned in sales literature.

    Anyhow, just an FYI; android loading up the memory in the device is a good thing. Believing we need more than a gig of ram for an average phone user is a joke.
    One we perpetuate as soon as we talk about RAM in our devices.

    Having excess ram seldom helps (sure, advanced users of PCs might make RAMdisks etc), having sufficient RAM is important of slowdowns can occur.

    I would prefer a better camera lens (even if I seldom used it) over high RAM amounts. At least my purchase money would be utilised on something that might benefit me.

    4GB of RAM>3GB of RAM (in a mobile OS)? Hahahahahaha

      Poor troll... you said earlier that you are pretty sure, it happens to be that you are still desperate with your life support.

          Nonremovable battery.
          Nonremovable storage card.
          Why are they moving backwards?
          I was so excited about this phone; what a disappointment.
          Hoping they get back on track and fix these flaws with the Note 6.

            QUESTION:
            Is Lollipop 5.1 being a general HD Voice Software that will create
            an HD Voice call over T-Mobile's 3G Network, just like Note 3 and s4 did with T-Mobile's HD Voice firmwares or does this Lollipop HD voice firmware work only if the phone has Enhanced LTE mode (basically only works over LTE) ?

I will stop talking about the note 5 storage problems when the Note 6 is confirmed as having a micro SD card.... Not that there should be any doubt given it is affecting the note 5 sales.....

                      You must work for Samsung to be so upset by the negative note 5 comments?

                        SD card slot and 6gb ram confirmed, for N6N6 with Soc 820 or Exynos 8890. Just want to envy if Android 7.0.1 be out of box. Why not 4k display, stereo speakers and F1. 5 lense. Price be 900$ maybe.

                                    As far as the Leaks are concerned I think the LG G5 will beat the S7 almost in every corner

                                    1) I guess its going to be a 1st All metal smartphone to feature a Removable battery and Sd card slot both
                                    however,
                                    LG G5 Will also have few downsides as well

                                    2) That It cud only have a realtively small 5.3" main screen and cud only come with a 2800 mah battery and most probebly a IPS LCD panal.

                                    Anyways Feb 21th will be a exciting day..

                                      U need to understand that all Note5 tries to do is to save the battery power while in power saving mode i.e why u wud find a little lag and choppy scrolling The cpu also gets underclocked slightly cause of it and does not perform to its fullest.

                                      I personaly very very rarely use the power saving mode..cause i like my phone to be always snappy and fast..like a jet ..

                                      If all of the above is not applicable to u then plz explain on what app do u get choppy scrolling?
