a huawei executive has claimed that no one would ever need more than four gigabytes of RAM for their device reminiscent of when Bill Gates the founder of Microsoft is alleged to have said that 640 k is enough RAM for anybody 640 k of RAM is a tiny fraction of a tiny fraction of the current Ram that we tend to use that's sort of like saying you're going to power your car via a donkey so before we get to donkey powered smartphones let's first talk about the most recent video on the samsung galaxy s 8 now this video seems to confirm most of the leaks we've seen thus far but Evan black AKA evleaks has said that the galaxy s 8 launch will be pushed from april twenty first to April twenty-eighth now some people might be claiming that this extra week is just another week for samsung to ensure that all the safety issues are covered with the s8 but is that supposed to inspire confidence an extra week it's almost midnight five times over that inspires me with serious doubt what do you think we still moving on to the rumored budget pixel it may not be a pixel at all Google senior vice president of hardware Rick Osterloh has confirmed that the Google pixel will receive a sequel in 2017 and I quote there is an annual rhythm in the industry so you can count on us to follow it set off Strehlow adding and i quote you can count on a google pixel successor this year even if you don't hear a date for me now now this is what led to some confusion because some people were assuming that a rumored budget pixel was the successor to the original pixel but no apparently we received some fairly firm confirmation that there will be a budget device meaning an Android one launched pretty soon and a premium pixel successor to the original pixel that good news that's good news but the Android one will be launched in the US or North America this is something we'll probably for India and Africa where Google is trying to reach the next billion Android users in a recent post on the Weibo page of Lao Shi an executive of Huawei she discusses that he believes four gigabytes of RAM is plenty for a phone to run smoothly he says that many of hallways devices actually run better on four gigabytes than six gigabytes of RAM and that's the most important thing to do in a smartphone is to optimize the operating system to be as efficient as possible she cites Apple's iPhone noting that iOS doesn't need a huge amount of random run smoothly and that the company has simply optimized the u.s. to work fantastically with smaller amounts of available memory he says that adding more RAM only increases the price of the device and that it would simply not be worth pushing the boundary of this hardware on mobile devices now this man has a point I agree with if the way we use phones pretty much stays the way it is you see way back in nineteen eighty one when Bill Gates apparently or allegedly said that thing about 640k he claims he never actually said it but at that time in 1981 no one envisioned that computers would be doing the things they're doing today processing huge gaming applications video processing all that kind of stuff it was doing far far simpler tasks if phones continue to operate and be used in the way they are now sure poor gigabytes of RAM is no problem but if the landscape completely changes the way it did in desktop over a period of two decades we're going to lead a lot more firepower but i think the device format is going to change before that happens what do you think let me know in the comments below but wait wait wait we're not quite done because i know you battery geeks are going to love this news there has been significant or potentially significant battery innovation going on by the man who invented lithium-ion batteries meet John be good enough yes his name is actually good enough and despite being 94 years young he is the co-inventor of the lithium-ion battery as we know it and is still working hard together with researcher Maria Elena Braga he developed a new low-cost solid-state battery that is not only safer than conventional with EMI on batteries but also stores a lot more energy and can be charged faster apparently the new battery has at least three times as much energy density when compared with lithium-ion batteries it also features a faster rate of recharge meaning that we can fully recharge our devices and electronic vehicles in minutes rather than ours once more it allows for a greater number of charging and discharging cycles so the battery should last a lot longer now before you get too excited please know that this is still in the very early stages of development it'll be a while before it actually come to market but I know battery innovation makes a geek happy you
