RAM Xperia S is 800MByte?

toniobr — Thu, 10 Jan 2013 12:22:14 GMT

Hello,

i have an Xperia S and my friend a Samsung S2 and S3.

All the phones have theoretically 1Gbyte of RAM.

When i go in Application-Memory in use i see that phone have a total memory of :

Xperia S with ICS: about 600 MByte total Ram

S2 whit ICS & S3 whit JB : about 800 MByte total Ram

Some people say that a portion of the memory is taken from the operating system.

OK.

But why in Xperia S the operating system take 400 Mbyte instead in S2 and S3 take 200Mbyte when the same operating system android?

The Xperia S RAM is 800Mbyte or 1GByte?

Down the Samsung and Xperia S screenshot

Thank you and sorry for my wrong english.

some people say that the missing memory (200Mbyte) is for the GPU.
It 'a lie because all smarthphones have the GPU!

Some HTC have the same GPU and there is not thi problem.

Why no person of sony answers at this questions?

There is already many discussions had happened about this.. From SONY they answered its normal, RAM & Android takes the 400 MB of RAM.. When you are comparing with Xperia P, they say that both mobiles doesn't have same technical conf..

But yes, if they optimize it, it will be real good to use Xperia S mobile..

I agree with toniobr. We can understand that system keep some RAM for its own use but why Samsung is providing user about 833MB of RAM as in screenshot above whereas our Xperia giving only 635MB of RAM! The question is which special hardware in our Xperia S is using more 200MB of RAM??
