Good thing there’s windows phone which is very fluid kahit 512mb lang memory. Unigue pa ang interface nya.
Joel Enriquez says:
Bakit ang IPhone at IPAD kahit maliit ang RAM ok parin ang performance??
Rommel A. says:
Very good answer Raphiduz. Nagtaka nga ako sa iPhone 4S ko na mas maliit ang RAM 512mb lang pero still a capable phone na 2011 pa ito compare to other mid range Android phones. Thanks for the feedback :)
Raphiduz says:
The iOS’s operating system doesn’t need all the extra memory associated with Java and Android, since it was designed to avoid this sort of garbage collection from scratch. It only needs the memory it’s using. Kaya bihirang mangyari yung magkaroon ng freeze at reboot sa mga apps na ginagamit sa iOS devices. Sana nasagot ko tanong mo.
archie says:
Baka snapdragon 820 daw ang gagamitin sa Mi5 plus kaya hindi malayong 4gb ram din ang gagamitin dito.

Good day guys. That’s the problem of Android devices, they need to increase the RAM and battery capacity of their phones to process the apps simultaneously. According to Glyn Williams over on Quora, iOS devices run better than Android devices with twice the RAM because Android apps use Java, and need all the extra RAM to do something called garbage collection.
What’s garbage collection? It’s a process that triggers the recycling of memory once an Android app is done using it. Usually, this works pretty well on systems that have a lot of free RAM, but once you get a lot of different apps running, things start getting dicey.
Android’s garbage collectors work best when Android apps have 4 to 8 times as much memory as is actually needed in order to perform the garbage collection process. Once you stop having that amount of free memory available, performance starts suffering.
As for iOS? The operating system doesn’t need all the extra memory associated with Java and Android, since it was designed to avoid this sort of garbage collection from scratch. It only needs the memory it’s using.

Pwedeng mag music player.. While open ang messenger, nagpapasa ng files via bluetooth, naglalaro ng heavy games at kung ano ano pa. Isa sa mga dahilan bakit napakabigat ng android eh dahil binibigyan nya ng support ang karamihan sa 3rd party apps. Eh sa iOS? Bihira maka penetrate ang 3rd party apps. Wala ngang customization sa iOS. Pero sa android, sandamakmak. Natural mas malaki talaga kelangan ng android.
Raphiduz says:
Thanks for your insight for a need of bigger RAM for Android devices compared to iOS. Ang punto lang dito compared sa Android devices and mga iOS devices hindi kailangan ng malaking RAM para maging effecient sa paggamit ng apps. sa Android devices, wala ka pang ginagawa, malaking part na ng RAM ang nakakain ng OS pa lang at default Android apps. Speaking of multi-tasking, I dont believe na kayang pag-sabay-sabaying gamitin ng isang user ang lahat ng apps na binubuksan niya, since iisang lang naman un screen display ng device na gamit niya, naka-minimize lang yun ibang apps working in background.
archie says:
Applicable ang 1gb ram sa iphone 6 dahil hindi naman lahat ng iphone users ay multitasker at hardcore gamers. Alalahanin mo din na lumalaki ang display ng android device every year at kasama sa pag-alalay sa malaking display ay ang malaking ram. Nasubukan mo na bang magbukas ng maraming background apps sa iphone 6 plus? Malakas ang stutter at lag effect sa iphone 6 plus pag pinilit mo ang graphics ng games. Karamihan ng apple user population ay 2 o 5 apps lang ang ginagamit at karaniwan noon ay instagram or facebook lang. Parang desktop argument lang yan. Kailangan mo ng gaming rig at heavy graphic editing machine, bibili ka ng high end desktop or gagawa ka ng heavy duty workstation. Word, excel at web browsing lang ang gagawin mo araw araw, bibili ka ng netbook or conventional 12″ macbook. Maaaring kuntento ka na sa 1gb ram na binibigay ng iphone mo pero hindi titigil ang technological advancement dahil lang sa product ng isang kompanya.

There should be more details if it’s DDR3, LPDDR3, DDR4, or LPDDR4.
denise says:
It’s already posted for most of them. What I am more interested is the price for each of these smartphones so we can really compare if they’re fairly priced in the Philippines.
