Why should a smartphone have 4 GB of RAM? This is insane!

OmegaShen3288d ago

It's Sony, they are known for being insane.

badz1493288d ago

why not, right? if you can do it, why not go for it?

subtenko3288d ago

You're right, phones should have a max of 128 MB of RAM. Why do you need more? Psh even 128 MB is too much, I'd say 12MB is good enough....

..... Anwayway, Im tired of these Z4 articles and speculation just like I'm tired of Android Loliipop news (when half the phones still dont have it) It's like f it....when it releases we'll all hear about it. Not knocking it, moving on...

xTheMercenary_3288d ago

Surround yourself with "why not" not "why" if you continue to say why to everything you wont get anywhere in life. This is what Sony are doing they're going the why not route and trying something new if these rumors are true though.

jerocarson3288d ago (Edited 3288d ago )

The iPhone 6 is 1 GB RAM and still performs faster than any smartphone with 3 GB RAM. That's part of the reasons there is no sense in it. Google should fix their OS to be more flexible..

'2560 x 1440' '4 GB of RAM' '20.7 MP camera'

Those specs are ridiculous, what's the battery life going to be? 20 minutes?

Dasteru3288d ago (Edited 3288d ago )

The battery life will be fine. Tech doesn't just become more powerful over time. It also becomes more efficient. According to rumors, the Z4 will actually last longer on a charge than the Z3 due to a much more efficient chip set and a better optimized OS.

Several other new phones also have similar specs. The HTC One M9 for example also has a 2560x1440 screen, 20.7mp front camera, 3GB Ram and the same Snapdragon 810 core. It is offically rated by HTC as having 21.7 hours of talk time and 402 hours standby on 3G. That is with a 2840mAh battery. The Z4s battery hasn't been listed anywhere yet but the Z3 had a 3100mAh and there is a good chance the Z4 will also.

Edit: Not sure where this article got the idea that is was going to be using the Snap 820. All the current spec lists have it as using the 810. It is also far to late in development to change to the 820. Unless the release has been pushed back to 2016.

Not sure how I feel about google having my fingerprint

kingmushroom3288d ago

meh the NSA already has every ones, at this point in time what the hell are we gonna do.

Gondee3287d ago (Edited 3287d ago )

Well they arnt a company built on selling your information for ad revenue. The NSA I can't do anything about, but I'm skeptical of Google and their monetization process.

I would only buy this if it were a hardware based implementation similar to TouchID

ZoyosJD3287d ago

Is the fingerprint a requirement on these phones? I thought they were just optional protection.

pwnsause_returns3288d ago (Edited 3288d ago )

you know whats insane about sony? the lack of advertisement of their phones....hence why T-mobile pulled them off their shelves....

I have a z3, and its such an amazing phone..But no one knows that..... So they better advertise the hell out of the Z4...if it doesnt sell, then whats the point of having a mobile division....

subtenko3288d ago

Sony doesn't GoS, they are an empire, even tho Samsung or LG may have (idk) taken over in most popular electronics company, Sony still is Sony and thats what makes them cool. They are a key player, they are pioneers and also push platforms/standards.

pwnsause_returns3288d ago

even so, their mobile division is tanking... the fact that they probably released the best phone of last year even though they didn't advertised, is just terrible, one of many reasons why their phones don't sell... This is a very competitive market, and if they at least dont let people know their phones exists, then whats the point of making them....

hkgamer3288d ago

they have tried with the xperiaZ phones to advertise more. but it has been struggling even in the countries that bought sony mobiles.

i personally buy sony phones because they look better than the others and the z lineup being waterproof has been a brilliant feature where i will no longer buy a phone that isnt.

however, i have found that samsung and lg seem to have better layouts and seem a little more user friendly in terms of important functions. i dont use custom firmware so dont tell me to use whichever to improve my phone.

its getting to the stage where sony really has to decide on what they need to do with the mobile division. the main phones are selling ok but their budget phones dont sell any at all.

pwnsause_returns3288d ago (Edited 3288d ago )

In the U.S. At least, not once have I seen an Xperia commercial, the last time I've seen an Xperia commercial here was like 3 or 4 years ago for the Xperia play...

If you own an Xperia, you know the quality of those phones. I have not been let down by the z3. It's the best phone I've had since the old school Ericson w810i.

I just hate the fact that I have not seen one advertisement for the z3..it's pathetic...

hkgamer3288d ago

the us market is probably different, sony has been struggling over there. dont think they are as big as they was when smartphones were released. ive constantly bought sony phones since the first cybershot so i for some odd reason am a big sony fanboy.

i do want sonys phone to be succesful because i want to carry on buying their phones, but im not really sure what else they can do to attract more customers. maybe they need to win the next nexus contract and that could possibly help them raise awareness.

other than that, i guess they only have james bond and spiderman to advertise their phones >.<

subtenko3288d ago

I will say this though, if they go all metal, they better still have waterproof and at least expandable memory slot. Otherwise if no memory slot to overcharge me for memory when I could get a cheaper solution for a 64gb sd card

You know how companys like Apple do... 16gb iphone $500, 32gb $600. WTF! The 64GB Sd cards run for $32 not an extra Benjamin! You're already making money off the overpriced phone!

Don't think it will be worth switching to this device if you are a z3 owner. Should be a powerful device as all the Z's

NewMonday3320d ago

I got the Z2 and use it over my iPhone6+

Z2 is still sweet and fast and very close to vanilla Android

Will not upgrade unless the next flagship drops the glass back

iamnsuperman3320d ago

The hole is the wrong shape for a stylus/headphone port. I hope the render is true. I am nearing an end to my contract and it would be perfect to upgrade from a Z to a Z4

plmkoh3320d ago

The 'hole' is a lanyard loop.

PLAYER50953320d ago

Hope they fix the magnetic port flaw! Just bought my z3 three weeks ago and it already came off.

ServerBOT3320d ago

xperia lineup is underated.
I use to own a Xperia S, loved the camera and the ui.

Originally planned on getting a z3 but got a such a good deal on the galaxy s5.
Besides being pretty powerful, Gs5 is just crap. Camera quality is so grainy and low-fi and ui is just to colourful, looks like its for kindergartens .
I actually compared my old xperia s picture to the galaxy and xperia s blows it out of the water.

UKmilitia3320d ago

xperia are by far the best phones out at moment imo.
i have a z2 and its brilliant.
day and half on a single charge and thats without stamina mode.
gf just got a z3 and with a case on you cant tell difference between the 2 but my next upgrade be the z4

AsmaMohd3320d ago

The phone is octacore it says it has 2 lots of quad core processors 1.2 and 2ghz
