1GB vs. 2GB, How Big of a Difference Is It? (for Android)

2012-08-01
hey guys Davey here mumble calm and in this video we'll be showing you guys the difference that two gigabytes makes on your phone compared to one gigabyte on the right I have the Samsung Galaxy s3 which obviously has two gigs on the Left I have the HTC EVO 4G LTE which has one gig why the reason why I'm comparing these two phones is because they both have HD screens so the resolution is the same and also the both running the same processor which is the Snapdragon s4 I fresh-grated both of them and also they're both on the same Wi-Fi network I'm gonna run a couple of apps over here as you can see on the screen and I'll be jumping in and out of the task managers on each phone so we could actually check up on the RAM status so right now I'm gonna go ahead and show you guys that there's no recent apps running and we'll go to the task manager really quick on both devices so we see how much room is or how much RAM is being used up on the galaxy s3 522 megabytes is being used up on the Evo 4G LTE only 466 megabytes of RAM is being used up so a little bit different but we'll go ahead and run the test anyway you know can't really control how much RAM is going to be used up when the device first starts up so anyway let's go ahead and start running the applications so I'll do dictionary go back and then we'll do Google Earth you can see the speed is about the same and you know that's expected considering they're running the same processor and we'll do the fourth app and at home now let's go ahead and check in on our task manager again so we'll go to task manager on here task manager on here and now it's using 575 megabytes 506 megabytes so using a little bit more RAM now on both devices go ahead and continuous go to Maps let's go to messaging let's go to gallery let's go to Gmail and again let's check on the RAM so task manager and task manager we're using 543 megabytes 635 megabytes now let's go back and let's go to Flixter let's go to score Center WordPress and Chrome oops let's check in on the task editors again so task manager and task manager 755 megabytes so you still have one point six two gigabytes available or total so we have you know about 900 or 800 megabytes left on here reason 556 as you see the bar is pretty close to full as there's only one hundred 24 megabytes free so this next test should start to make a difference let's go ahead and load up YouTube's calculator on each phone color note and then the cameras okay so hopefully that has a lot of apps running in the background hopefully this will make a difference let's go ahead and go to the task manager again eight hundred five megawatts being used now you see there's five hundred sixteen megabytes being used on the Evo there's one hundred sixty four megabytes left so it kind of gives you an idea actually probably closed out one of these applications in the background um let's see if we could actually tell which application I was closed out um I don't see the camera running over here and a couple of apps but anyway let's go ahead and do the test now again running through all the apps and see if there's going to be a speed difference now considering that we expect there to be more apps open up on the galaxy s3 so again Dictionary Earth so they're both kind of reloaded earth but it was faster on the galaxy s3 file explorer gym rat so you can see this one open it up again this one had it open in the background let's go to maps it's already open just want to reload it let's go to messaging about the same there gallery Gmail so you can see now I mean it's noticeably faster on the galaxy of service a little bit faster to begin with but um it just seems that it's a little bit faster even than that so you can see right here it didn't have the low score center at all which I believe the evil actually loaded up score center faster first time around so that kind of gives you ideas for is the RAM um basically what you're going to be getting is your apps once you have a bunch open is really gonna make a difference but you know if you have just a couple of apps open like I did in the beginning didn't really make a difference both of them we're opening up at pretty much the same time but now you can see the galaxy s3 with that extra gigabyte of RAM is pretty much loaded every single application faster than the Evo 4G LTE did so the RAM definitely made a difference um especially you know when you have this many applications open in the background mean all of these guys are pretty much open you know I could tap on you know gym rat and you see it's still open I could go back and go all the way to the top and we'll tap on dictionary and it's still open so it's not loading these guys up again we're you know over here let's go to the task manager you see it's 150 mi guys free um let's go ahead and try to go to I mean these are the apps are open you can see all of them aren't they're coming it's only what's core Center Google Maps calculators open color notes WordPress messages in YouTube but all the other ones are pretty much closed out so you know if I were to go dictionary again like I said it's gonna learn much faster in here so anyway um that's the difference you know it's not that big of a deal honestly in the long run I mean um you know both phones are super fast the 1.5 gigahertz Snapdragon processor does a great job at opening up applications and her ice cream sandwiches optimization especially when jellybean comes around both these devices both are going to be super fast but you know what the two gigabytes is gonna give you a faster experience mainly due to the fact especially when you have a lot of applications open that those applications we open up in the background and when you tap on them it's going to be already open so there's gonna be nothing to load therefore you're gonna have a faster experience not necessarily faster speed as far as processors go but anyway that's it for me in this video if you found it helpful please hit the like button helps me out a lot and scribe some channel thank you
