A spacious playground (more RAM) will enable lots of children (programs) to play (run) comfortably. The reverse is true. Keep in mind that RAM doesn’t necessarily make your PC faster.

Display Its probably time we accepted the notch because it is here to stay. Huawei is the latest phone-maker to hop onto the notch-life train with these two. Both the P20 and P20 Pro have a screen resolution of 2244×1080, the P20 spotting a 5.8 inch display and the bigger Pro clocking in at 6 inches. Both panels are OLED, and of course, the notch.

Design Design as a topic has always been very subjective. I’ll let you be the judge of which one takes the cake. I gotta say though, I dig those iPhone-like antennae lines on the Tecno.

However, Infinix promises Nougat on the Smart. Both come skinned with their respective in-house skin; HiOS and XOS....
