Why does a phone require 8GB of RAM!!!

@Charon92 who would want so much RAM?

@Charon92 that'd be around just 1% of people

@Charon92 offcourse it's awesome. I don't deny that.
But if it's going to increase the cost of phone, then it doesn't seem to be worth it

@bugHunter well if they include more hardware are they not allowed to increase said price..?

I know right? 640k ought to be enough for everyone!

iPhone can do almost everything in less than a GB of RAM

Because Java

@creator and it restricts you from doing almost anything

Providing the right software more RAM can have huge benefits. You could have the most used apps residing in the RAM completely which would result in faster startup times and reduced battery usage.. I doubt they will make use of those optimization though

@Jop- Virtual machines are slow, same with Dalvik/ART

@prototype I sneaked that joke into my operating systems exam

@jAsE You nailed it.....hehehehe

Honestly.
