Garchomp 123 asks I'm on a three to four hundred dollar budget which phone should i get next the best phones under 400 bucks are the Nexus 5 and the Moto X bar none there are also a plethora of options if you don't mind going to use sites like sois pas and ebay you also want to consider the zenfone series that when our best of CES award as well as the Moto G if you're looking to save a little bit more money sir jargon one asks battery saving is always a hot topic for Android users and many apps like battery doctor recommend a full cycle charge at least once a month how much merit is there to this I have come across mixed opinions keep up the good work yes you're right sir jogging one there are people who have had many heated debates on the subject of battery optimization but there are some cold hard facts we can rely on we know that a lithium ion battery has a limited number of charges to it right so eventually your battery is going to fail now to optimize and extend the life of your battery you want to keep the charge between ten percent and ninety percent or twenty and eighty percent whatever is easiest for you you don't want to totally drain the battery and you don't want to totally charge the battery if you can avoid it now you don't have to be fanatical about it I'm certainly not I fully charged my phone on a regular basis what I don't do is leave it in the charger for hours after it's fully charged but again if you want to extend the life of your battery and you really want this phone for two or three years try and keep it between ten and ninety percent now I do have another show in this in the Android Q&A if you search our channel with the keyword battery you can find another show their thanks a lot jace your ears move when you talk no it's worse than that Andrew asks hey Jace which processor is actually better and faster for phones Snapdragon or mediatek well Andrew the short answer is that the Snapdragon is clearly the better performing chipset in both real-world testing and benchmarks the Snapdragon comes out on top the thing is however the Snapdragon processor is also much more expensive and it's included in vices like the HTC One the s4 xperia c series and those costs five hundred dollars plus mediatek however is the slower processor but is also much more cost effective it allows for OEMs to build budget devices that still have sought after features like a quad-core processor Android for more research you can check out the links below and it goes into more detail about those two chipsets so guys after last week's show I posed a question about how best to translate a language using Android in this case it was German and boy it exploded we had over a thousand comments on that video thank you so much but it was clear that there are a lot more native German speakers than I thought and perhaps the question was a little too easy but the first person i found that i think is not a native speaker and that did use android as instructed was back her al Tikriti and sir if I am mispronouncing your name please forgive me but I'm going to contact you and find out what your address is and ship you one of whom those in fact I will not make the same mistake and I'm going to make sure that this week's question is much harder thanks for watching android army my name is jason i would love to connect with you here on google+ or twitter i read all your responses but this week's Android Q&A question is the following here we go why would Google sell motorola mobility's hardware division to lenovo for only 2.9 billion dollars they bought motorola for more than 12 billion two years ago what is going on now most of you will already know that they wanted the hardware patents to defend themselves against apple but there is more to it than that I'm looking for well articulated researched answers below for the best answer you will win one of those i will ship it to you anywhere in the world good luck i will see you on android weekly where I give my own take on that same question
