COMPARISON OF MOBILE DEVICES

List of all mobile devices among each team member:

HUAWEI HONOR 4C

ASUS ZENFONE 3 MAX 5.5 (ZC553KL)

ASUS ZENFONE GO 5.0

Lenovo A7000 Plus

SAMSUNG GALAXY CORE PRIME (SMG360)

MEMORY

32GB, 3GB RAM > 16GB, 2GB RAM > 8/16 GB, 2 GB RAM > 8 GB, 2 GB RAM > 8 GB, 1 GB RAM

The larger the size of RAM, the gadget is more efficient to run more than an application. This is because when the smartphone is running an app, it is loaded into RAM. Therefore, RAM is necessary for a gadget to perform multitasking. A gadget which is lack of RAM may cause the app unable to run or the performance of app will be affected. However, a gadget with more RAM may consume more power and shorter the battery life.

If there is a larger internal storage, a lot of apps or information and data can be saved in the mobile device. In that case, a user won’t have to always clean-up for saving space of the internal storage. Moreover, a user needs to buy an extra memory card to store more data if the internal storage is full of data.

PROCESSOR

Octa-core 1.7GHz > Octa-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A53 > Quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 > Octa-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A53 > Quad-Core 1.2GHz

Core is built in the main processor to execute any smartphone’s instructions. Octa stand for 8 cores while Quad stand for 4 cores in the smartphone. An octa-core processor is faster than a quad-core processor only when it is running an app that takes advantage of its abilities or when you’re multitasking. For example, one core maybe working on your web browsing while another is standing by. When there is a call comes in, the second core will get to work. So, both of your web browsing and your phone call carry on without a hitch, but not necessarily twice as fast.

Camera Megapixel

16 MP > 13 MP  > 8 MP > CMOS 5.0 MP

The megapixel is the measurement for total number of pixels that will make up and image captured by a camera sensor. The higher the megapixel counts on a camera sensor, the greater the amount of detail that can be captured in a picture. Therefore, the digital zoom can lead to the capture of closer images which still offer a high level of detail when it is printing out or using on the web.

Overall, Asus Zenfone 3 Max is the best choice among all the smartphones that are listed above. This is because it has the highest amount of RAM and internal storage. It also has 16 megapixel camera which is the highest compared to others. Although it’s processor clock speed is slightly less 0.3GHz than Lenovo A7000 Plus, it has other aspect elements which are better.
