If you REALLY want to be realistic about things, NONE of the devices actually have that much ram USER accessable...

My TF101 has "1GB" however, 256Mb is dedicated to Graphics and another 64~ is dedicated to the Kernel (or some other low level Android use), if you where to look in any stat reporter, even the built in one, it only reports about 720Mb~

The same goes for my Galaxy Note, says it has 1GB, but only 720Mb is reported with any task manager or phone stat reporter...

I have many other devices I could go on about if you wish to argue about it...

My point is its a terrable lie anyway and 1.5GB is very possible, When I buy a PC with 4GB of ram I expect it to be present when I check my system stats or use a RAM management utility, but phone makers and carriers get away with damn near ANYTHING these days!

1GB is actually 720MB for RAM, and 16GB is actually 12GB~ Storage...

I think that's just cause Android (and mobile as a whole) doesn't have the technology for a proper paging file system.

The only reason why PC's RAM access shows the full amount is because that's about how much a paging file is created by default since Vista and later came into the picture. They can put essential functions into the paging and larger applications once the RAM has been completely used can also access w/e paging is left. This can cause a drop in system performance and is changeable by the user if he wishes.

There isn't really a proper paging system in place for mobile OS's normally from what ive seen which causes parts of the OS that needs the space to always sit in the RAM. It seems that they only allocate the internal storage for actually holding the OS and that's it.

IF I'm wrong please correct me "preferably with facts" so that I can adjust that theory but that's just been my experience as ive never seen any type of "paging" access anywhere on Android file system.

that's a profound RAM explanation. hahaha. As long the RAM does what it needs to do. WORK!!

Everything in this article is speculation..

1.5GB of ram is possible but Samsung won't release a device with 1.5GB of ram.

It will either come with 1GB or 2GB of RAM.

What bugs in the current GNote? I have one and it runs great. I have placed other roms that do smooth somethings out or make the camera better. However, I don't seem to find any "bugs".
