Wondering if anyone has any opinions on either the ram usage and/or speed when upgrading from lollipop to marshmallow. The new main features of Marshmallow don't excite me much so my choice to update will be based on these two factors alone.
Anyone done an upgrade and had any impressions of note?

Hi all!
Please help me in a simple matter regarding AnTuTu
I am currently using Samsung Gakaxy Note 3 SM-N900(Exynos) and want to upgrade to Samsung Galaxy S5 G900H(Exynos) which is available in my country.
But I am a bit confused as I love the big screen of Note 3 and the better camera os S5. I know I can't have both when I am poor.
So I ordered S5 so that I can compare it myself. Either I will return the S5 or will sell the Note 3 in next 10 days, but I am stuck somewhere.
Technically, S5 with Exynos 5422 should be faster than Note 3 with Exynos 5420. I know RAM plays important role too, but HMP should raise the flags towards S5.
However, I am getting very low AnTuTu score on S5 compared to Note 3.
Just for test, I flashed both phones with complete wipe and "NAND Erase All" with latest Lollipop ROMS available and the AnTuTu I am using is 6.1.4 with 3D Benchmarks 6.0.4
The score I am getting varies from 52000-54000 for Note 3 and 44000-46000 for S5
That is some 8000-10000 point low for S5.
HOW can this be possible? All reviews show S5 has the upper hand, but thats not in my case. Should I consider replacing my unit?
I wont be opting S5 just for Android 6. I need performance as well.
Guide me please.
Please help at the earliest.
Thanks.
Who cares about benchmark?
I don't get what you want to aquire switching note3 for s5.
Almost same spec with smaller screen.
That is all pointless.
Ps. You should've bought g900f snapdragon. That suposed to be a bit quicker than exynos g900h
tapatalked
I comfirm this
Gta sa and lcs work flawlessly on note 3 exynos 4.4.2 but they lag on galaxy s5 exynos 6.0.1
antutu benchmark of my S5 snapdragon gives me 62741
Benchmarking is not relevant, plus the Note 3 has 1 gb of RAM more than the S5.

Well, the difference could be in software. Are both the phones running same version of android? If note 3 is on kitkat and s5 on lollipop then note is going to get higher scores. Also, There is a major difference because of ram too. Note 3 has 3gb of ram whereas s5 has 2 so that is probably the main reason for lower scores. And also benchmarks don't mean **** during day to day usage. Don't just buy something because of benchmarks.

I agree sir. But don't u think that the iPhone 6s will always score better than iPhone 6. Okay, it's different, but theoretically s5 should be faster and score more! All parameters are same!

I think you have no idea how software works.

Thanks for your valuable opinion without even properly reading anything. I clearly mentioned that both devices uses same latest lollipop updates. May be you don't know about Note 3 and S5. If you knew, you'd not have advised about kitkat and lollipop comparision.
And I know how to manage my day to day usage. But my post was about AnTuTu score only. I pretty much know how to use my devices. If I am upgrading, I will simply upgrade to a powerful model. And I cannot measure power/speed in calculator, messages or file manager.
I think you dont know how benchmark works and how much useful it can be.
No offence.
Thanks
Hey guys,
So I'm actually returning my A5 tomorrow as it's simply too big for my pathetic Donald Trump-style hands
I (obviously) and drawn to the A3 as the logical alternative but I'm wondering what opinion existing owners have off the 1.5gb ram.
On my A5 I usually seem to have 600 mb or so remaining at any one time. Am I likely to notice any problems?? Interested in your impressions as I know this forum has everyone from newbies to power-power users on here.
Thank you so much.
My gf has j5 with 1.5gb of ram and she has no problems at all. The phone is snappy all the time, and we havent noticed any slowdowns whatsoever. Btw she does game on her phone
With every Android version, we expect them to be more feature rich and user friendly and also to deliver the better performances with more battery life but sometimes this may go the other way as with every Android version instead of lighter android experience, we get something which consumes more RAM and thus leaving lesser RAM/memory for user to utilize them for multitasking or heavy gaming.
In this post, I will be comparing the available RAM/free memory for the user with different android version. Being a user for multiple android versions, I have seen them all and experienced them all.
Android 2.3 (Gingerbread)- I used the android 2.3 version on my Samsung device which had only 256 MB RAM but still I was able to perform the tasks and still around 50-60 MB left as free memory. Yes that phone did not support any kind of heavy gaming of old times like even temple run and was able to perform the basic tasks like Facebook, WhatsApp etc.
Now let’s talk about only with respect to Honor phones and the widely used android version i.e. Kitkat, Lollipop ad Marshmallow.
Android 4.4 (Kitkat) (HONOR 4X) -This is still my favorite android version because this is feature rich android version yet provided optimal performance and better battery backup compared to other version. Out of 1.8 GB available for the user, when I boot the phone, I still get 1.36 GB of free RAM this being the highest I have noted so far in any 2 GB RAM phone and phone does pretty well in terms of performance, multitasking etc. I liked the RAM management on Kitkat so much that I even though of flashing the Kitkat ROM on my Honor 5x but unfortunately that is not avaialble as Hnor 5X was launched directly with Lollipop.

Android 5.0/5.1 (lollipop) (HONOR 5X)-This is feature rich and provide some additional feature over previous versions but when it comes to free available memory, it does lag behind the Kitkat version. I have seen the maximum free RAM up to 1.21 GB on boot and when I really compare this version for battery, it does pretty well but not as good as Kitkat
View attachment 3876212
Android 6.0/6.1 (Marshmallow) (HONOR 5X) - one of the major changes that Marshmallow brings in is Doze effect and battery optimization but when checked for the available RAM, its lags behind the Lollipop version. You read it right, Marshmallow free RAM is less than 1 GB on boot and sometimes phone lags while multi-tasking. (Still a beta version or stable one that is not fully optimize) but I have seen battery improved compared to Lollipop version

The battery improvements on the 5x are more because of EMUI 4 than MM

You're right, emui is the best when it comes to battery saving
Hi all! So, I used to flash a lot years ago. I recently just decided to check and see some stuff still available for this phone! I want to flash something desperately on my phone!!
Can people please say what ROM they prefer and why? And what the differences are between the different ROMs available?
I see LineageOS and crDroid. Are there others that are good and availale for the phone?
Which would have better battery life? And faster/more responsive? More feature rich? The least buggy, and most reliable?
Also, what are the ways to backup the phone now?? I've seen full phone backup using TWRP?
What about Titanium?
Any other methods?
Thank you!

T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3
Following on from the success of the Galaxy Note 2, Samsung have managed to cram in a large amount of technology into the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Powered by a Quad-core 2.3GHz Qualcomm processor and 3GB RAM, the Note 3 is by no means a slouch. The display is 5.7" at 1920x1080 and 386ppi. The Note...
