Samsung Galaxy Note 6 may have 8GB of RAM

The Samsung Galaxy Note series is known for being very powerful and one of the most powerful phones on the market. Apparently that is not good enough because they want to raise the RAM storage from 4GB to 8GB.

Most modern computers now have a base of 8GB of RAM inside to keep the computer running smoothly. Phones on the other hand don’t need that much RAM. The base RAM storage for a smartphone is at about 2GB. Samsung is thinking that they need 8GB of RAM which is just so freaking fascinating seeing that smartphones are going to be just as powerful as our home computer. That could either mean a good thing or a bad thing to you. If you are on the go and need to get work done, instead of pulling out the computer you can just pull out your smartphone from your pocket and do the same exact thing. It is bad if you are selling computers because then sales will probably go down because of this trend. Why buy a computer when your phone is way more portable and can be just as powerful.

This whole thing about the 8GB of RAM is all thanks to the new Snapdragon 823 which will be super fast, faster than a Chromebook. It will be a Quad Core processor running at about 2.6 GHz. My Mac runs at 2.7 GHz so it is really close to having the same amount of power as my Mac.

Just because the Snapdragon can hold 8GB of RAM, Samsung will probably only put 6GB in which is better and doesn’t sound like total overkill. I mean even we thought the 4GB this year was total overkill on a smartphone. Just imagine 8GB.

Oops: Samsung accidentally confirms the S7 Active

The Galaxy S7 was announced last month, and as we all know, it has regained its water and dust resistance. Because of that, we were a little fearful for the release of an S7 Active. It seems that it may be a thing.

In a recent update to the “Samsung Level” app, Samsung themselves accidentally confirmed it in the changelog section. They stated that among all of their other phones, the “Galaxy S7 Active” appeared for a bit of time. That leaves the question… What will this phone have that the S7 doesn’t?

They both will be waterproof and dust proof… It is expected that this phone may have a longer duration of submersion, and a bit more tolerance to dust. And as always the Actives, a slightly beefier battery and a more rugged design.

We will have to see.
