8 GB RAM in smartphones: Massive step forward or unreasonable hardware race? | Mobile Internist

8 GB? RAM? On a mobile phone? You know, that thing that we used for the simple communication and those nifty short messages 15 years ago. And not so long ago skeptics used to say that 3 GB of RAM is enough for your desktop computer. What will those folks say to this?

Pffft, I have that much in my PC. Granted, it's already over 4 years old.

I don't see a need for this.

the only time this will actually be useful is if phone manufacturers come out with something that ubuntu phone and windows had where you can use your phone as a PC and plug it up to a monitor, KB and mouse.
like using a full blown PC OS right off your mobile.

but to play candy crush and sonic dash or whatever the new "in" game is at the moment, yeah...this isnt going to help anyone.

I thought 4gbs was the sweet point for phones now.

iPhones already outperform with less. Maybe optimize the software instead of just throwing in bigger specs

KingPin3043d ago

its not about speed of the OS that requires 8GB ram.
The latest android N runs with 3GB ram just fine. (possibly less but 3GB is from personal experience)
unfortunately phone manufacturers need to give people a reason to upgrade to a newer model and if a new phone has the same specs as a current model, why would they wanna upgrade?

There's really no point, nothing on phones need that much. Phone hardware is advancing faster than the software. Most people can get by just fine on 2gb or 3gb.

The way android manages system memory, 8GB is equal to 2GB on iOS. Apple phones already provide 2GB. So no, not unreasonable.

Kiwee Master Kase Sling Bag for the Nintendo Switch review - ChristCenteredGamer

CCG writes - "There’s no doubt about it. The Kiwee Master Kase Sling Bag is a very nice carrying case. However, it’s the most expensive one we’ve reviewed, hands down. The asking price is $99 shipped. That’s half the price of the Switch lite! For comparison, the PDP Pokemon Commuter case is just as roomy, and a third of the price. Though it’s not as versatile in size, not as professional looking, and it lacks the theater mode. As of this review, the Kiwee Master Kase Sling Bag is available in two colors: black and white."
