Why can cell phones easily play games at high resolution and your $2000 computer can't /g/? I find it sad that cellphones are more of a computer than computers.

>>58706637
And it'll STILL lag.

ha! 900$ ! hahaha!
suck my dick samsung

>>58706461

and how exactly would it be more "usable", explain retard

>>58706645
Android hasn't lagged since 5.0 introduced ART.

>>58706687
Yes it has.

Any time you're using the flash storage, the phone slows to a crawl. Your storage solution is still incredibly slow.

>>58706699
never had any lag on my 6P with android 6/7

>>58706726
Really? Any time I start downloading something, my 6P slowed to a fucking crawl.

>>58706638

Because the games are upscaled and have shit graphics.

>>58706683
Could run better with longer battery time if it didn't have a retarded large resolution screen, and a gpu screaming for more power so it can push that many pixels.

>>58706430
>$900
>for a phone that most people will upgrade/replace 2 years after or sooner

oy the mother fucking vey

samsung and apple are cancer

why are they the only ones releasing performant devices?

still not paying their cancer tax either way

Why the phones need these specs? My 3 year old s5 with 2GB of ram doesn't lag at all.

>>58706430
Should of went 1080p and gotten much more battery life and higher performance at half the price.

Holy shit and i tought paying about 400 for my s7 (7 months ago) was pushing it for the performance you're getting. No reason to get a flagship anymore. In speed tests only half of them beat the one plus 3 while asking nearly double the price. If the op4 has a decent screen i wont even consider the s8

>>58706818
you want a big boy sized display and thus need more than 720p and use your phone for more than facebook then you need the most current specs. sick of this retarded "you only need this piece of shit since it'd all i need xD" meme. also keyboard lag.

>>58706744
Moto X Pure owner here. I wish the screen was 1080p for battery life. The gpu barely handles YouTube at 1440p. Smooth sailing at 1080 though.

Seriously though, why do people spend as much as $900 on a fucking phone?
You could build a damn decent PC for that amount of money. And all you're getting is esentially a calling/texting/browsing device, just like a $150 one, only slightly faster.

>>58707193
Why do people care how other people spend their money?

>>58706744
Pretty much. What's the practical point of 4K (aside from marketing buzzwords) with such a tiny display, considering it assrapes the battery life?

But what about 3.5mm though?

>>58707193

Because most people buy a phone with a discount. I dont know anyone who actually buys a phone at full price. Do people actually do this? Why?

>buying anything but chinese memephones
>2017

Remind me, why would people (on /g/ atleast) bother to spend money on these ridiculous things that you'll use to communicate and maybe use for media/shitposting?

Do you really need a 1080p screen for that, let alone a 4K one?

>>58707235

Snapdragon 835 handles those pixels just fine.

How do you even know the battery life is bad? You don't, so stfu faggot.

>>58707348
You're either a shill or a brainless fanboy.

> Snapdragon 835 handles those pixels just fine.

I've never said anything about that.

> How do you even know the battery life is bad? You don't, so stfu faggot.

If you think 4K resolution has the same power draw as 1080p, you're delusional.

>>58707425
resolution has very little impact on battery life. it kills performance but not battery. 4k on a phone is fucking retarded tho

Who chinkphone here?


Breddy good

>>58707543
>resolution has very little impact on battery life
>/g/ - Technology

>it kills performance
You mean it makes the GPU work harder ... and use more power ... and ... holy shit, resolution might actually impact battery life.

>>58706461
What is even the point of 4k on an 5 inch is screen? Even HD to full HD makes no difference

>>58707677
nah it really doesn't tax the gpu nor cpu appreciably harder unless you stream 4k videos. general use like web browsing, messaging, watching 1080p clips...nada.

what a bunch of shit

>>58707996
all keyboards get hiccups from time to time. can be reduced or removed with better hardware. you're crazy if you don't think there's an assload of room for improvement here. but it's not anywhere close to worth the apple/samshit tax when a $200 phone from china = 90% of the performance for <¼ the cost....

>>58706430
how about an audio jack?

>>58706453

>>58706462
5 of the 6 GB of RAM will probably be in use due to Samsung's botnet services and software.

When will Samdrones quit buying their shitty products.

>>58706733
Because he's shilling. Don't feed the drones.

>>58706430
If it doesn't have a removable battery, I'm out.

They should have learned from the Note 7 fiasco.

>>58707348
Because every fucking Samsung phone in existence has atrocious battery life, and Samsung's main thing is using 2x the screen resolution than what's needed.

And it's just common fucking sense that the higher the resolution, the more power is drawn.

Prove me wrong.

Pro tip: You can't.

>>58707782
4K video or not, a 4K screen is fucking pulling 2160p either way you look at it. It doesn't fucking go "Oh, it's a 720p video so let's just render at 720p". That's not the fucking way it works, chimp.

This is on a galaxy s6. I wish it was 1080 instead of 1440. Can you read this shit? I should go oneplus

>>58707235
The real redpill is realizing 720p is enough for phones.

Oh shit, we have to shit out a phone and justify a premium price to sell to idiots, what do we do?

Uh... more megapixels? More RAM? Slightly faster processor to chug through our shit skin on a shit OS?

Smartphones are dead.

>>58706430
I can buy surplus grenades for waaay less

>>58706430

That's probably going to be a great phone but $900? No way.

>>58706430
"it will keep you warm, even in snow, using patented RealFire™ technology"

>>58708907
No the point of that was simply to say more demanding content taxes the hardware and thus battery more than rez. Rez certainly does reduce battery life but compared to what? A 1440p s7 edge gets excellent battery compared to most phones, rez be damned. It's a stupid argument anyway. Unless you're doing vr you never need more than 1080p on a phone. Heck I'd take 720p every time over anything else.

>>58709050
sub 5 inch phones I can take 720p, but once you get into the 5-6 inch category, 720p is awful.

Stop fucking buying shit that doesn't use ufs 2.0 or higher, seriously how fucking stupid can you be?

>>58709346
No it isn't. Damn kids these days. 800x600 on a 15" tube monitor was awful. 720p on 6" is so damn smooth performance wise and you gotta be holding the thing on your nose to pay attention to pixels. Your eyes stop caring really quickly otherwise. 244.77 ppi will look better than most of your pc monitors. Better yet on your standard 5.5" it will look great. You can make out pixel huh they're smaller than a spec of dust. Having a buttery smooth phone is way better than some mega autismo barely tangible pixel advantage.

>>58706637
Android runs just fine on 2GBs of RAM and a dual core.

>>58708990
Render at 1440p you fucking idiot, it's lower on default in games.

>>58707235
The fact that you will look at text a lot on a smartphone makes a resolution nice to have. Even if the screen is small it's right in front of your face. That said 4K is just retared although very nice to look at on my Priv. Even if I put it as close to my eyes as possible without it going out of focus I can't see individual pixels. That said we will surely see 8K-phones becoming standard before 2025.

>>58709538
There aren't any resolution options in the game.

just use adb shell to change to 1080p

>>58709688
Nice, thank you

>>58707235
Phone based 3d headset systems are being pushed hard. Also in general things like the rift, vive, etc, are pushing the cost of small high density screens down.

Tldr. Tards that buy these subsidize the next Gen of higher res oculus.
