Hello everyone, I have the option of choosing the LG optimus G or the HTC 1x+ and would like some advise. Will the 2gb of ram on the optimus G be significantally better than the 1gb ram or the 1x+ when it comes to emulation of NDS and N64 on the device? How about the tegra 3 on the 1x vs the graphics on the optimus g?
Optimus G. Not just more RAM, but faster RAM. A 22nm chip size versus a 40nm chip size.
RAM is a huge factor for emulation, they all run much better on here.

so..am i buy LG OPTIMUS 2X better or MOTOROLA ATRIX better?
i read a lot of article and comparison between this two phone,every test optimus 2x also be the top,but the atrix have 1gb RAM compare to 512 optimus 2x,how could it still slower than a 512 ram phone?and,they said,high resolution make the gaming experience slower as processor need to do more work,so..is there really noticeable in real performance?
I think you should go for atrix if you don't care about Radio and camera
(5 MP)
i dont care about that,but any reason u suggest for atrix?
in the test,it slower than 2x
i would suggest 2x since it has an unlocked bootloader whereas you need to unlock atrix's bootloader...
also, 2x has better community support than atrix...

Mainly processor wise. Is this the fastest phone on the market currently?
I know the Xperia S is using a 1.5ghz dual core snapdragon CPU but is it as fast as the processor used in the Galaxy S2?
Memory and most other specs seem similar to all other new phones.
Although I did see recently that in a benchmark test it was quicker than the Galaxy Nexus for most if not all applications.
Just wondering how this phone will hold up after a year.

First year is OK. Arc came where they were dual cores and other stuff and it will even stay longer because phone's usability differs from person to another.
For what this phone is, it pretty good to me and what I have seen and after ICS hits this phone the true power will come out.
Very few applications are even designed/optimized for multi-core use, let alone quad-core.
While the lack of a quad-core will turn away most measurebators who want to buy the latest, glitziest quad-core model, from a software perspective there isn't much out there that will benefit from the extra 2 cores out yet for the next 2 years or so.
I'm a bit bummed about the 14.4 mbs d/l speed and the pathetic 2.1 bluetooth profile. They could have at least done 21mbs and Bt 3.0
Is it true this phone has 2gb RAM also?
I just checked my phone memory and it has 1.78gb free.
It's different from internal storage which I have 25.5gb free.

Hmm!
There is 1 partion for internal system storage, and it is about 2Gb, other partition we known as sdcard, ~ 28 Gb.
So i dont think the phone has 2 Gb ram!

Just like with PCs, there's a difference between internal storage and RAM.
AFAIK, the Xperia S has 512 MB RAM, of which about 340MB is available for applications to use while they are running. Right now, with the optimizations I have in place, I get about 370MB free RAM, which is a HUGE boost from the 100-140 I had on the Arc.

This is incorrect Xperia S has 1gb RAM. The 2GB partition is for app installs and the ~28gb is your internal sdcard storage. The 2gb and 28gb internal storage is just partitions off of the 32gb internal flash storage.

Yes, you may be right about the 1GB - I currently see 178MB used, 453MB free, so the rest would be used by the OS.
Still a massive boost over the Arc.

No this phone does not have the fastest CPU this is only downside to Xperia S. They released an excellent phone with last year CPU. The CPU Sony has is snapdragon scorpion or S3 while most phones being released in 2012 will have a snapdragon Krait or S4. The S4 actually performs faster than a Nvidia Tegra 3 quad core CPU which the HTC One X will have. If Sony released this phone with an S4 it would have best the ultimate android device IMO. However the Xperia S is still a good device that will last you a year easily and it beats a galaxy nexus which is the premium android phone right now as far as CPU.
Phones with 1gb of ram will have 256mb for dalvik virtual machine, so only 744 mb ram availble, and ram for system cache is about 200mb, that why you see free ram is about 400 mb.

Hi people, just a simple question that hope has not been made, do you think, in a short time (few months) 2 GB of RAM will be required for our devices to work well?
The most important is smooth and stable, higher RAM is not neccesary. :laugh:
Probably as tech gets higher, more ram will be required for later games and applications.

Cellphones today are the same as computer is... the higher hardware it would only be required to those who uses heavy features, like games and developing programs.
So, if you want a device just to basic use, you'll not need high spec cellphones.
It really depends on the usage, but there will be a lot of resource-consuming games released soon.
Some custom roms like miui also take a lot of memory! 1GB is getting short...

You don't really NEED 2GB of RAM, but does help. Better multitasking, mostly.

me personally i don't think that phones really need 2gb like gagdude said. I think if you have a kernel that makes the phone run faster then not necessarily 2gb is needed but helps alot.
Seeing phones like the new Nexus or the Galaxy S3 Alpha are coming out with two GB... I dont know if there will be apps or tweaks like that new one on the S3 Alpha that will not work well in our 1 GB phones soon.
i have a htc desire with cm10 4.1.2, it only has 576mb ram, but still kind of smooth, so 2gb is not necessary, but still more is better, because it will be more smooth, espicially when you playing games.
I don't think it's necessary and yeah you guys are right phones are like computers.
HD Screen
Quad Core
2GB Ram
Powerful gpus
If cpus would be x86 and with a mouse and keyboard you could get a fully working windows 7 on your phone. Even most of the computers at schools and libraries are not quad core.
I think ubuntu realized that and they are developing a fully functional ubuntu for phones with two and more cores.

Personally, I feel that 2gb ram is needed. Reason being that stock s3 uses around 700 - 900mb of ram. Of course, you may still say that you can install custom rom and decrease its usage to maybe 500 - 600mb. But if you run a lot of apps, it will eventually use more than 1gb of ram and the remaining usage will be send to and forth the swap(slower access).
Despite having zram which improves performance for devices with low rams, but ram is still faster than zram so having more ram is indeed better.
With a device that has to swap to and forth the swap and ram, battery life will be reduced and the performance will not be that good as the instructions of the code inside the ram has to be done then only it can be swapped with the instructions inside the swap and so it reduces the performance(in theory, you may not feel it unless you run something i/o intensive)
Go read up more on ram, zram and swap and you'll get it why I'd said to get a device with more ram.
Platform fragmentation on android will surely slow down this process. Also the maximum heap space available for a Java application (opengl textures and native code are excluded from this limitation) doesn't make extra RAM so important for many apps.
But for sure I wouldn't complain if my phone had more RAM.
1GB is enough. 2GB? You will play Asphalt 7 & Modern Combat 3 at the same time?

Not only your device is multitasking, but also you are multitasking.
Hello,
MTK6589T would give the client all same multi tasking, smooth applications work as SnapDragon 600?
I know in games SD is much better but how about emails, internet, many apps same time in multi tasking?
considering it has 2GB of ram on it.
I have ordered THL W8S and now thinking if I should add money to take Optimus G by adding another 200USD or not. in my country THL W8S cost 485USD ...Not cheap but I wanted it due to screen size and 441 PPI, due to 2GB ram and it's seems to be a good build overall.
Thoughts?
Thanks!
I want to buy a new smartphone and i can choose between L9 II & L90
http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=6100&idPhone2=5650
Both are atractive in one way and another
pros i see for L9 II:
720p resolution
additional button for quick memo's ect
Camera has HDR (?)
Internet speed is up to 42mbps (?)
now cons i see on L90
KitKat
looks better
Quad-Core CPU
Cheaper
I was wondering is L9 II dualcore cpu @ 1,4 is same performance then L90's A7Cortex quadcore @ 1,2 ghz?
Now an interesting question poped out. L90 has lower resolution, doesnt that mean that it will take less ram and cpu usage when it comes to graphics?
I would buy Lg l9 II. As far as I know it has a kitkat too :/ Hd screen for me is a very big advantage and it looks better than L90.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA Free mobile app
thanks!
But why 720p is so important on small screen (well im comparing to notebooks ect). I checked both phones and couldnt tell the difference.
Aswel what about processing power? does A7 cortex being quadcore has advantage over Dual-Core Krait @ 1.4 ghz? Antutu Benchmarks on youtube shows that L90 seem to score better. Although for example GTA San Andreas lags on L90 while L9 II runs smooth.
anyone?
I just picked up the L90, and it's phenomenal for the price. I'd recommend that.
