Spec Req for cellphones

Name: Anonymous 2016-10-10 1:26

Any thoughts on min/max specifications for a roughly decent quality cellphone by '16 standards?

How many cores should it have? Is 512 mb ram too little? How much ram is too much on a smartphone? Other spec req?

Anything with two cores, 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage is more than enough if you're going for an Android fagsmartphone, unless you're some 4redditor who wants to post epic memes on Facebook or play shitty games on his touchscreen toy. You might also want to check the quality of the camera, it turns out to be very useful after a lifetime of not having a phone.

This will suffice as long as you install only what's necessary (IM, Uber, and the like). Make sure you buy anything manufactured in the last two years that costs less than $300. Anything more and you're wasting your money on an octa-core Facebook device.

I mostly use web browser, ssh client, and text editor; and find that 1 GB still isn't enough for switching between apps without having them restart all the time.

A quick look at the Geekbench scores attained by the iPhone 7 quantifies a staggering achievement: the single-core performance of Apple’s latest generation of smartphone processors has basically caught up with Intel’s laptops CPUs. The A10 chip inside the iPhone 7 comfortably outpaces its predecessors and Android rivals, and even outdoes a wide catalog of relatively recent Mac computers (including the not-so-recent Mac Pro).

The AMD Accelerated Processing Unit (APU), formerly known as Fusion

The new 6-core GPU built into the (apple) A10 chip is 50% faster while consuming 2/3 of the power of its predecessor.

Geekbench
Into the trash it goes. Most unreliable and finicky benchmark.

64-bit 2.34 GHz ARMv8-A 16nm x2 "Performance" cores + 2x "Low Power" cores
four Samsung LPDDR4 RAM chips integrating 2 GB of RAM -
On December 30, 2013, Samsung announced that it has developed the first 20 nm-class 8 gigabit (1GB) LPDDR4 capable of transmitting data at 3,200 Mbit/s per pin

LPDDR3 went mainstream in 2013, running at 800 MHz DDR (1600 MT/s), offering bandwidth comparable to PC3-12800 notebook memory in 2011 (12.8 GB/s of bandwidth).[9] To achieve this bandwidth, the controller must implement dual-channel memory

Pretty cute, screen (& probably buttons) too small to buy for parents though. Could do with a bit more battery and easy-vis display.

Not too sure about the locked in MIUI / phablet form factor / finger-print scanner?

I use a web browser, IM, SSH, music player and e-book reader and I've never had a problem with 1GB of RAM, but I flashed my phone with Cyanogenmod so there's that. You rarely need more than 2GB of RAM, though.

My Quake 3 Arena multiplayer server runs in 256MB of RAM, why do phones have to be so resource hungry?

MIUI is fine for me. Just make sure you actually have MIUI by flashing the ROM after you buy it.

phablet form factor

This is a possible negative.

finger-print scanner?

It works great for me.

Because of all the memory leaks in Android, the more memory it has, the longer it can go without restarting.

The problem is apps restarting because of OOM, losing unsaved work or dropping remote sessions simply because you switch between two apps.

If Android memory leaks are so bad, why is my Android tablet so much more stable than my Windows machine, despite having only 1/4 as much RAM?

Because Windows is also shit. My mother went a year without even knowing she could turn her iPhone off. If I go a week without restarting my Samsung S5, it will do it itself. And now I hear these things are exploding?!?

Apple may be a closed platform targeting retarded old women and worthless cocksucking faggots, but at the very least I don't have to hack the fucking thing with shady custom kernels and void the warranty just to remove all the shitware installed by the maker and the carrier that takes up half the memory and all runs in the background all the time.

Been a long time since I used Windows though. Can't praise our complain about that.

If you consider that a phone is a phone and not a general purpose computer, Apple products make more sense. I feel more comfortable using a limited set of programs that have been compiled specifcally for my device rather than some interpreted Java shit.

I have an iPhone 5 and don't plan on upgrading it since it does exactly what it should.

Every Android device I've used has reminded me of a Windows Vista installation on some grandmother's eMachine.

that takes up half the memory
Unused RAM is wasted RAM.

this does not apply here. a better way to phrase it would be: RAM not used for things you want is wasted RAM. if RAM (or CPU or disk space) is taken up by vendor's bloatware that you don't want and don't need, it's worse than if it was unused because if it was unused then actually useful stuff could claim it.

Unused RAM is the safe guard against out of memory errors. In fact, getting out of memory in production deployment can cost you your job.

of course that applies only to environments with dynamic memory allocation.

some interpreted Java shit.

There's also the A.R.T phones from android 5+, where it compiles on the phone

Are you spewing the latest meme you found on /g/ without even knowing what it means?

Why don't you just int *a = malloc(10000000000000000L); in the prologue of all your programs just to honor your epic /g/ meme?

16Gb here on the PC. It is probably mostly unused most of the time. Ram is pretty cheap though, good for short-term future-proofing. Ram-proofing?
Could've bought some 500$ GPU for internet browsing

It's got 12ghz of compute so 16gb ram doesn't seem too unreasonable. I'll probably buy a graphics card when PCI-e starts going out of fashion

An octa-core 1.7GHz processor powers the IM5, but it’s only supported by 1GB of RAM.

odak accidentally posted a now-deleted photo showing its second smartphone following the Kodak IM5. The successor is expected to be a step up from its predecessor, which failed to win consumers because of its lukewarm specs
