new android phone candidate
kitamesume:
i wonder if DDR4 would have any impact to phones and tablet productions.
DDR4's advantages is that they're faster and more energy efficient than DDR3 or even the LPDDR3 which means they should be a better candidate for these ultra-mobile gadgets.
to top it off, DDR4 is announced to have higher densities reaching 1GB per chip (16GB sticks with 8x2 chips back-to-back) so one or two chip should be plenty for phones which saves more traces and energy.

The downside (upside?) is that you have to pay full price (it will cost $649 on the play store) which is actually cheaper over the life of the phone because contract plans are way more expensive than off contract, but if you are poor then you might not be able to afford the up front cost (however, if you don't have $649 to spend then why are you even in the market for high end gadgets?). You will also only be able to use it on gsm providers, but that isn't a big deal really since t-mobile is the best carrier.

how are non contract plans so much cheaper? unless you go with one of those shitty little companies that just use other peoples towers you dont get a price break in your plan

Depends on the country and the carriers I suppose.
I'm a contract-less customer, and I pay something along the lines of ~6$/mo for unlimited sms, 300 minutes of call time and a gig of data a month for my phone bill, If I had a phone like the S4 out on a 2 year contract, I'd be paying ~50$/mo for exactly the same thing + the phone.

And that's why you have Wifi available to you basically anywhere you go in the larger cities. Also, that's the cheapest plan they offer, I took a quick look and the one for what you've said would cost 18$/mo with 1800 minutes and 10gigs at my carrier without a contract. Anyway, all of this is besides the point.
It's still weird for me how there's so little difference between contractless and contracted users between the areas.
Slysoft:
I pay 45 dollars a month for unlimited talk / text and unlimited data with no throttling from t-mobile but that's including a military discount.
WizardFreak9:
I've run into similar problems with watching on mobile, honestly its the reason why I wrote up my script, honestly not having to worry about lag is worth deleting files when your done with them. (I have a always on machine that launches the script on all my downloads, if anyone is interested in details feel free to pm me.)
