Hey all,
I have fairly recently acquired an Asus Padfone S (or Padfone X, as it is known in the US), and there is a newer model that comes with 3GB RAM and 64GB Onboard storage, rather than the 2GB RAM and 16GB onboard.
I am waiting until Lollipop arrives for the Padfone before I make the move, and plan to give the Padfone to my father to replace his aging Sony phone he has. I am, however, curious about a few things.
1. How long will the Snapdragon 801 stay relevant? I have recently tested my mother's new ZenPhone 2 (which has Z3560 on it) with Antutu and found the phone to score lower than my Padfone for some reason. I know there are many powerful phones out there now, like M9, S6, etc, but I am not willing to spend big bucks on a phone just yet, especially considering how I will not use it that often.
2. I have noticed that, on my Padfone, there are certain parts of games where I experience some lag (Dungeon Hunter 5 and Dead rising 2 are the games where I have noticed this), is that due to lack of GPU power, lack of RAM or just lack of optimisation?
3. Do Google directly control the updates of the Nexus phones, or is that up to the manufacturers like other android phones?
Thanks!
