Anyone buying new phone? My samsung s6 is pretty much done.. i am planning to buy s8.. but i want a fast one so i can play mobile game smoothly and can load the screens fast.. but rumours has it that it only comes with 4gb ram but a 835 qualcomm processor..

anyone has knowledge can give me an idea which ones in the market is good (price is not a concern).. is 4gb ram enough if i plan to use it for at least 2 years? coz there are 8gb ones coming out.. i duno how big a difference it makes.. i heard the OS is equally important? and i prefer not iphones


thanks

I've heard the pixel is extremely fast. But it isn't available to everyone, so it may depend.

4gb ram should honestly be good enough for a mobile phone. 8gb is a luxury imo. My laptop still has 4gb ram and im going on 6 years with it.

Also worth mentioning, the new Android software "nougat" has performance modes specifically for playing games and watching video. So any new Android should come with those options. I have a s7e that just upgraded to nougat and the options make things a lot easier. Also a lot faster than before.

I have the S7 edge as well with no issues. Still waiting for Nougat but Verizon are being assholes about it. I'd imagine the S8 edge is the way to go.

Bro.. u 32 yrs old now. Dont u think its time u moved on from gaming on phone devices. What the girls gonna say to u when they see u scrunched over with narrow shoulders tapping away on screen with ur fingers. Go get a phone for functional purposes and spend the rest of money on bulking urself up and makin u huge and spend it on dates bro

Thanks.. i was worried 4gb won't be enough.. my S6 is currently 3gb and my game crashes sometimes if i load too many apps.. haha.. i really really really really hope s8 will be 6gb but rumours have it that they only come in S. Korea and China (not Hong Kong)..
