Anyone have experience using both? I have a 1gb version and I am pretty happy with it other than the performance sometimes. Ram can go below 100mb and then lag will kick in... I love the screen size and battery. Sticking with stock b221 as well cos I find this to be best for 1gb so far.. Other custom roms shoes down the phone after a while for me.. Since mate is around usd 199 now.. Was thinking getting a 2gb version as spare and sell off the 1gb.. I was hoping 2gb will give a much smoother experience.
Anyone?

i didnt get to use both, but for the past 1 year and 10 months, my 2gb mate never dissappoint me. now with helps from our great devs here, i will keep huawei phones till i feel i cant no more
i suggest you take the 2gb amd it will be a different experiences considering the ram improvement over the 1gb you hv now.
ps: i even bought another huawei ; Honor 3C H30-U10...

go for it, it's a world of difference.
Thanks.
I was hoping for this answer. I find the speaker and screen to be very good. I dun mind the 720p at all. I have a z ultra and if the performance is at par, I wouldn't mind using HAM at all. But the responsiveness with 1GB is starting to get unbearable.... I remember I was at a Huawei shop and saw the 2gb version and just check out the ram use.. It's at about 700+ free ram with pretty much only stock apps. So I figured for my 1GB to be able to function, there must be some serious performance tone down...
If only the LTE band would work here, I would have gotten the mate 2... Hoping for mate 7 to be announced soon to see how thing goes.
Hi, I am about to buy Lg G3, but still can't decide should I buy 2gb/16gb or 3gb/32gb model? Is it worh that 50 euro to buy 3gb model... I looked all over the internet, somebody say that 2gb is enough and it works as 3gb and the only deference is the storage space. (16 gb-32gb) and some where I read that 2gb is even better than 3gb. What do you think? It's been a lot of time since this phone came out, so what do you think after playing with them? I am not a big gamer so I dont need a lot of RAM. I use my phone only for surfing on internet and sending some sms and around 10 minutes of talk time per day. Is 2gb enough for that? How does 2gb works with Lollipop? I have a lot of questions but I hope you can help me.
Thanks in advance,
Petar

Personally think an extra 1gb ram and extra 16gb storage space is woth the 50 euros, Ram isnt only used for gaming but for multitasking and smoothness of the interface, 2gb is good buh id pay the extra 50 euros lol, my opinion anyways.

Get the 32GB device, the internal sdcard can be read and written to much faster then a external sdcard usualy. This is a no brainer if you can spare the extra 50 euro.
3GB/32! No doubt. But I will tell you, I've been getting some lag on my G3 as of the last update. It's been slower and not as fluid So I'm not sure it really really really makes that much of a difference if it's going to lag on me!

Hmm I don't really know why. A lot of people that got upgraded to Lollipop sad that phone got smoother, fluid and battery got better. But I guess it's different for every one.
Wow. Really? I have seen the opposite. I have shorter battery as well as more choppy. Oh well! No biggy ! Haha.

Maybe try to get it back to Kit Kat if it was better back then. So how is the phone, when you had it before update? I currently have Nexus 4, I hope its a good upgrade to G3.

As you can see from my signature, I've been on android for a long long time... I think I need a change of phone. I'm going to probably return my g3 and stick with the Nokia. But I will keep my Samsung tablet. Hehe.

Hahaha. When you go Android, you can't go back :laugh:
i was planning to buy one of these phones but what ive read it seems like alot of issues with it.any imput would be appreciated
For me, it's the best phone i bought. I had a iphone 4s and the Zenfone 2 rocks.
Fast, great screen, 64gb plus another 64gb micro sd, i love the camera quality. The only downside is the battery size. I wish that it would last longer but right now, it's not a big issue for me.
Definitely a great phone to buy.

This is a flagship phone with a small price...
There are little problems here and there but that can be said about ALL phones... Battery is always a problem with the newer phones, the higher screen resolution really eats up battery, and the memory leak from Android 5. 0 probably doesn't help. But saying that, we have 4gb of ram that pretty much kicks arse and, when it came out, was the largest amount of ram in a phone...
I be had my 4g/64 model for 3 months and I can honestly say it is a great deal for the price. Very fast and responsive.

hey thank you guys thisnreally helped
Easy to root and by the magic of Linux Deploy I'm running 64-bit ubuntu 15.04 alongside android. I can take notes in emacs while talking on the phone.
I do recommend upgrading to a quick-charge charger wherever you can. I'm having good success with the tronsmart chargers on amazon.

Before my phone went brick, I was not happy with its memory management. I was starting to run slow after a couple of hours of usage, and it didn't help much after killing apps. Is that the memory leak from Android you refer?
I was just using the stock ROM.
thanks
I got the 128 gig version and honestly have not been happier. Battery life is decent, camera is so so, but multi-tasking is really awesome. The UI is a bit bit cartoonish in parts, but with Nova launcher and some judicious changes in Nova/Dev settings (minor), it never lags, never stutters and is the only android phone outside the nexus family, where twitter for android scrolls properly.
It's an incredible device, for its price point. Enough said

What model?
The 551ML 4gb ram model I use has no issues with memory management and seem to power through anything but there was a few people saying their 550ML model was a little piss poor due to the 2gb they have.
If you have the 550ML then you probably aren't going to have anything improve much due to the physical limitations...
Certainly not junk! I only got the 550 (720p, 1.8 GHz processor, 2 GB RAM, no NFC and although fast-charging capable, no fast-charger). But even with this cheaper, lower-spec model, and inspite of some software niggles and could-be-better battery life, I am really enjoying this device. Love how it feels in the hand, love the big screen, love how smooth it is to use. It benchmarks on a par with last-gen flagships but I think the Intel SOC actually performs even better than those figures suggest in actual real-life use. A higher mid-range device's power for low-budget device bucks! The camera is very good, not great but way better than it should be considering the price. As I said, there are little niggles and problems and things which could be better, but they all seem very insignificant when you take into consideration the price. The cost performance ratio of this phone is pretty mind-blowing! It is also great that we have an active xda community and plenty of dev support for our device. I enjoy both the stock ASUS experience (tweaked to my satisfaction, naturally) and the CM experience - so much that I have been flitting back and forth from one to the other with regularity. Overall, not a device I'd recommend to luddite noobs who aren't prepared to put some effort in to get it set up right for them, but for anyone who actually knows a little or is prepared to learn it is a fun device and a great value proposition!
I'm very happy with my Z008
Definitely a great phone to buy.

Actually, my cell phone has ressurected today. And I have the rare 551ML with 2gb ram. It has only 400mb of free RAM right after booting up. So, 1.6gb is consumed with "basic" (bloat) stuff. My phone came rooted. I'm trying to stop and uninstall some stuff, but I didn't have much luck yet.
Thanks
Hello. I am debating between the Nexus 5X and 6P. I come from a Galaxy S4. I prefer the size of the Nexus 5X, and I am fine with the Snapdragon 808 and 1080p display, but the 2 GB RAM worries me. I know that 2 GB RAM will be enough for today, but will it be enough 3 years from now? Will it slow down or not be able to get Android version upgrades due to having less RAM? Is Android becoming more demanding of RAM, or less demanding? Is it worth it to get the 6P for the "future proofing"? Am I being paranoid? Thank you.
It will be OK untill next year I think. Still the more ram the merrier, as always. Today 3 gb is ok for skinned oem and I think a barebone nexus takes less ram initially than ex Samsung or LG. My Z5c has two ram and you can't open very many apps before you have to reload, and Sonys ui has less bloat than many others.

RAM on smartphones these days is a completely different beast to just a few years ago. The OS is much better at optimizing and using what is available and works in a different manner to to desktops and laptops.
Have a read:
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=ram+on+phone
The Nexus 5 is still a well loved and well used device and 2GB ram is not a problem there.
I had no hesitation about the 5X and have come across no issues yet.
I'll tell you what, my S6 edge had 3gb of RAM and the available RAM on that phone is the same as my 5X. Unused RAM is wasted RAM. But if you want to future proof your phone, find one that offers 4gb of RAM and has good development for 3rd party ROMs.
So you think you'll keep the nexus 5x for three years? Also it would get at least 2 major updates so I wouldn't be worried about ram.
One of the reasons i got a 6p and not 5x was the 2GB of ram.. And max 32GB space. My nexus 5 has 2 & 32.. I am almost out of room for files.. And my available ram is 150MB.. I think it was causing slowness i had to constantly close apps. So to answer your question YES it is an issue. I am shocked and disappointed that after 3 years they came out with a device with pretty much the same specs

The storage space is a legit concern, but unused RAM is wasted RAM. If you have 150 MB free of RAM, then 2 GB is more than plenty.
I agree.. But i was starting to experience mini crashes in camera app.. And sluggishness in general.. Closing background apps helped fixed it... So i assume 150 Ram left is not enough
I would say it's fine as long as you don't play RAM hungry games and expect to multi-task (ie. your apps are still loaded after starting the game, your game is still running if you check a couple of other apps). If you do expect to multi-task like this you'll be disappointed.
That 150-300MB free is 'wasted' if you don't have anything else to do on your phone, but if you want to open a 500+ MB game on top of that then things are going to get booted and then the game will get booted if/when you open those things again.
Also even if the phone needs to dump a few small apps when things get full most things like camera or browser or reddit app reload quickly, games can take forever to load so that when I was playing one (Uprising) I was loath to switch away from it in case it would get closed and need to load again.
Hi Guys
I was wondering how is the ram management, looking at some videos and post they was all in late 2017, now with a couple of updates and stuff I was wondering how the Pixel XL 2 fares in keeping apps open.
I was thinking of getting the Pixel XL 2 because I enjoy taking photos and the camera is amazing on the Pixel 2, my only grips with it is that I'm a heavy multi-tasker as well.
I've seen videos in 2017 that it struggles to hold 10 or less apps, but I was wondering with kernels and ram tweak, how is everyone with the ram, are apps kept in or reloading?
In my experience, apps do tend to reload but the device is good at reloading back to where you were in the app for the most part.
Running Flash kernel!
As far as I'm concerned, I've not experienced any slowdowns or multitasking issues with my device considering it has "only" 4GB of RAM.
You'll notice app reloads here and there from time to time, but that's not a dealbreaker. The same also occurs on 6GB devices, and even more frequently on an iPhone.
The phone feels very fast anyway, thanks to the very lightweight and bloat-free stock Google firmware. Less bloat = less wasted RAM for useless crap
There's no change, I'm on P and it reloads like hell , ok it opens really fast but it's kinda annoying. On ram management Samsung experience they did a really good job this year, the s8 that I have holds a lot of applications

Shame, I'm on the OnePlus 5T so apps don't even reload after 20 apps open. Tested it just now. Includes 2 games.
But the camera just seems so good on the pixel...
I had ip5t too , really good performance. But no stereo speakers , and the camera are deal breaker to me.
