On Crucial's website they have a memory configurator that will tell you what options work.

New phone buying advice please !!

I am going to spend some money on buying a CDMA android device pretty soon for my father. Its a unlocked CDMA phone running android 2.3. Model (MTS mtag 352) which is actually a zte device. The deal is I am able to buy a new piece for only $80.

The device won't be used for multimedia much at all. Very rarely for browsing. Mainly for phone and contact management. No audio storage no video storage either.
My only worry is the device sports only 256 mb ram and 140 mob internal memory. So do you think for the usage I described , the mentioned specs are good enough ? Mainly memory ?
Apologies if the post is not in the right section, but I couldnt find the device having a specific forum section so am posting this in q and a here.

buy to him a jiayu g3, 2750mha battery, 1g ram, dual core cortex a7, 4,5 screen, sd support, gorila glass, 2 sim capacity, and more! and isnt expensive, it can be chinese, but it is even better that this. i love it, or a jiayu g2, it is nearly the same, but a bit smaller with less things
if you can pay more than 80, or a jiayu g1 even cheaper, there are very cheap phones in internet

The thing is even though I want to buy better I am avoiding purposely. In India currently there are absolutely no good android CDMA handsets. While I did think of getting from us via eBay, it won't help much. He uses his phone for nothing other than talking. So In my view a android device with gtalk is better than non his android CDMA device.
So what's your view regarding that device. I am mainly worried about running out of memory with only sms and contacts.

Can someone tell me if one can manage with 128 mob internal memory on a android device ? If its not used for any applications , just contacts, phone calls,SMS and gtalk at most. ?

[Q] Highest Performance Android?

So I find it very hard to find raw information. Much less the time to read through all the hardware specs.... so here is what I am looking for, Most of what I read points to Galaxy S4, HTC One, Sony ZD and Nexus 5. But everything I read is so D*** biased.... its hard to get factual advice. I am looking at getting a new phone, the software that comes with it is garbage (will be rooted, and all my own os features installed ie launcher etc etc etc, I can do anything I want to through tasker, etc) i am looking for phone with biggest batter, fastest processor, most ram, largest internal memory and I really hope an sd card slot (one thing I could never get over with nexus devices) now it doesnt have to be one of the above listed models they were just examples...
So guys whats the android with highest hardware capabilities out there? Also kind of want a device like moto-x that has seperate chip for always listening..

Can Nexus 5 Support 64bit?

Hallo to all!
In the past days there a ton of rumors that says Android L will support 64bit. So my question is will our NEXUS 5 support this 64bit to and what benefit can we expect from it?
Hope someone can answer my question. :silly:

I honestly think with people freaking out about when its going to launch and since I/o there have been some things thrown out of proportion or misconstrued. They said L supports 64 bit which the processor in the nexus 9 will have but as you've probably read here its not happening yet on a phone. L does support 32,bit also. Google never said its 64 or nothing its UP to 64 bit. So whatever the nexus 6 has it will support L. Otherwise what's the point of saying L will support older devices.

I've always been under the impression that you need 64-bit operating systems to break the 4 GB of RAM threshold. Meaning, 2^32 = 4,294,967,296 (4 GB being theoretical, the OS will claim more)
So a device like the Nexus 5 which has 2 GB of RAM, would see zero benefit other than possibly supporting apps that target only 64-bit architecture. Those apps likely won't even exist.

Since Android presently only supports 32 bit, Every android phone on the market now only has a 32 bit CPU.

[Completed] 32 bit rom on 64 bit phone ?

Hello there,
I have noticed a few low end phones that are using 64 bit MTK cpus are running 32 bit roms of lollipop.
Although most apps on the market may be 32 bit anyway, it just seems odd to use the older version.
I doubt there much in it it terms of speed, but some of these phones may never get an update, also the 64 bit chip phones are more
money the 32 bit versions.
My oneplus is super fast and I think is 32 bit, however I was looking out I for spare backup phone for about £60 and at that price, I think every little bit helps.
