Argh! So annoying to see a whole new crop of devices launching with 2.x. Is 4.x that much more resource intensive or what?

- cbhl 14y agoYes -- at a minimum you need something like 4x RAM, IIRC.
- mtgx 14y agoYes, it is a bit, but not like iOS6 would run much better on these devices anyway. If the new chips can use some decent GPU's the experience should be significantly better on ICS/JB than on Froyo, though, because the UI wouldn't use so much CPU time anymore, and wouldn't choke as much doing regular operations.
- EwanToo 14y agoYou need 768MB of RAM for Android 4, and realistically a decent GPU. 256MB and the most basic $0.50 ARM chipset from Qualcomm [1][2] will get you up and running on Android 2.x. 1 - http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=cpu&id=a7225&c=qualcomm_msm7225 http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=cpu&id=a7225&c=qualcomm... 2 - http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/576095640/MSM7225.html http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/576095640/MSM7225.html
