Google Pixel Phones 2016

Not sure in terms of problems, but one thing to note is also that US set doesn't support 4G+ in Singapore.

Point taken, thanks for this info!

Why not?

i can get this speed at normal 4g. Ping also similar.
Still don't see any real world performance gain.

Use Network Signal Guru on a rooted device. You should be able to see the 2xCA stats

Wah, which area you in sia? haha. Normal 4G theoretical top speed only 150 down? i can only see like around 50-60 down.

Does Android use more RAM than iOS? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCFpgknkqRE

This one is quite obvious.

I did not view the whole video. The guys says Android uses more hardware RAM to handle better switching while iOS uses better software aspect to handle seamless switching. And he says, both are valid implementations?!

Of course the iOS is much more efficient and cheaper to implement. Packing more RAM is just not an efficient solution.

PS: I have never used an iPhone before but I really admire the way Apple designs their OS when I see my friends switch tasks on their iPhones.

ps wrong word. Should be can get around. My area i can hit 90megabit per seconds, cck area.

90megabit=11.25 megabyte per seconds, which is more than sufficient even for 4k netflix streaming. I'm also getting 21ms which is better than his picture.

The real world performance not much, unless you are at areas with low coverage.

Ordered from unlocked-mobile but quite a long wait. Hopefully stock come in soon

I amk area always see like 50-60megabits down nia. I still remember when Singtel just launch 4G+ can see 200megabits at night. Haha. But yeah, even then 4G speeds are good enough for most people already, 4G+ is just bonus. Singapore network speeds considered good liao.

Nope, IMO is not obvious, hence the biasness and assumption of people that Android devices are packed with more RAM hence they need more RAM to run. Moreover, Android devices are equipped with twice and even more RAM means it needs that much more RAM than iOS.

First of all on cold boot, this assumption is not true.

Secondly, this is true after running multiple of the same apps. However, the assumption that Android needs 2-4x more RAM than iOS to run is also wrong.

Based on the diff approaches, I don't see them as which is more efficient. I see them as valid solutions to a given problem based on both soft and hardware configurations. I do not believe one can be said as more efficient than the other. They are diff approaches, one using a soft, while another hardware, hence they can't be compared to be said which one is more efficient.

Cost wise I still believe slapping more hardware RAM costs cheaper than trying to R&D a soft based solution. Good luck trying to compare the cost between a hardware RAM and R&D cost of such soft based solution, not to mention the time the R&D will need to spend to come up with such a "perfect" solution.

Common problem I think. I'm frequently getting audio skips when I connect to my Pioneer car audio head unit. My old Nexus 6 does not have this problem.

Hope this can be fixed in future updates

Shucks, my Pixel has been shutting down by itself shortly after I receive the '15% battery -Battery is low' message. No idea whether the battery calibration is off or it's due to the battery itself Kinda tempted to get a 3T now.

How is the battery life of this phone? Been trying to find an android phone with better battery life than iphone 6s.
