the only reason I want to go for a 64 bit phone is cos its more future proof than a 32 bit device, however obvious that may sound. so its the architecture of the cpu rather than how many cores it might have or its clock frequency.

I get what you saying but most people gets a new device on a regular basis to keep up with the ever improving trends in technology. So even if you get a 64 bit phone now I can almost guarantee you that next year you will get a new phone. And then again and again.. its not like you're going to keep the phone for forever. Im not going to keep my Note 3 forever. I will upgrade when I feel I found a device worth the upgrade. Not just more megapixels in the camera. Fingerprint scanner and a little extra processing power ( yes referring to S5) .. so I get your point of view but technology is forevrr changing and improving and you will never really be able to keep up.

Android is a chronically inefficient OS, and for all the extra grunt it requires it still can't download a torrent and play an MP3 seamlessly at the same time. Symbian could on a tenth of the power of a low end fone.. maybe all these jobless Nokia coders should go an work for AOSP, n help tighten it up a bit rather than throw more power at things...

on the plus side, a recent survey claims that android apps are more stable than their ios counterparts, they found ios apps crashed far more often. which proves how much android has improved. I found the article on techradar.com

Well for me iOs doesnt crash the app they run seamlessly on the other hand androids tends to force close apps or wait..dumb really

@ banbury - 10.04.14 - 05:06am rah1 you have hit the nail on the head, not being able to upgrade for 2 years is the problem. I remember back in the early 2000's you could upgrade every 12 months with a high end phone. 2 years is just far too long at the pace tech moves these days, but 12 month contracts are virtually impossible to find these days in the uk. I used to upgrade every year as well. Then it was 18 months and now 24 months. Phone tech has slowed though. The reviews of the S5 say don't bother getting it if you have an S4 as it's not enough of an upgrade. Same with the iPhones. Upgrading yearly now is only for the hardc*re who insist on the very latest phone just for bragging rights. |

it has slowed in a sense your right, improvements are no longer dramatic improvements and its got to the point where a lot of tech is just good enough. While a new phone may look much faster on paper, in real world its a different story

its a simular scenario where computer processors are concerned, while on paper haswell may look a lot faster than sandybridge, there isnt a major difference where raw cpu power is concerned. Each gen has just had a slight graphics boost, as did ivybridge over sandybridge.

@ an0nymou - 13.04.14 - 08:20pm Well for me iOs doesnt crash the app they run seamlessly on the other hand androids tends to force close apps or wait..dumb really its just a statistic at the end of the day. I find android needs a task killer as do other platforms, although why all the app developers just dont simply include an option to exit the app is something I have never understood |

The full power of 64bit will take a long long long long time to be really meaning something .... its reasonable for a laptop but for a small handheld device?? what apps will use that power?? you planning to play Ps4 games on it?? lol no.... so you will have the power but wont be able to use it....
