A Huawei manager made an extremely surprising statement during the past few days, saying that 4 GB of RAM is enough for a smartphone. Lao Shi is this manager, and he claims that Huawei smartphones with 4 GB RAM have better performance than terminals that are sold with 6 GB RAM, which is quite hard to believe.
Huawei believes that optimizing Android for smartphones is essential to offer top performance, but of course Apple took the initiative when it launched the iPhone. Those from Huawei are still eager to offer performances at least as good as those of the iPhone, so they try to optimize their terminals as much as possible.
To support his claim, Shi says that iPhones don't need a lot of RAM to perform well, and that's because iOS is extremely well optimized. In this idea, Apple does not spend unnecessary amounts on RAM, the addition of these components exponentially increasing the selling price of Android smartphones.
The reality is that if you have an operating system created specifically for the hardware you sell, the chances that the performance will be very good are very high. This is the situation in which Apple finds itself, but not Huawei, which must modify Google's operating system in order to optimize it as much as possible, so that its smartphones have good performance.
Until now, Huawei has not succeeded in surpassing the iPhone in terms of performance, and it probably won't if it is limited to 4 GB of RAM, Android needing more.
