Why 6GB?

 

 

 

cuz it would be waaaaayyyy faster

Umm, no that's not automatically correct. IF you don't NEED 6GB your phone will NOT be faster because of it. 

Bigger processor == Faster

More memory == more programs that can run at the same time.

Is there any evidence to support the fact that 4GB isn't sufficient?

If you know anything about computers its easy to understand, its not that 4gb isnt sufficient. But there is a benefit to more.
You could say 1gb is enough, most apps or games wont use more than 1gb. So we should use 1gb ?

As soon as you open more apps that require memory, it will shuffle out the old memory in order selected by the android memory management system. Once you go back to your original app you were working on, a game for example. It might have to reload the game entirely (that game loading screen) because other apps requested access to the space it was occupying in the ram partition.

So more memory allows the ability for more apps to stay active in memory for future access without reload.

Yeah with 20 years in IT, I think I understand how computers work just fine thanks :) 

If you put 32GB memory into a computer that works optimally with 8, you are wasting your money. 

I contest the conclusion that a 6GB Note would be WAY faster than a 4GB one :)

Counterpoint. When I had 16G my computer was speedy fast. Now I have the same PC with 32G and there's no discernible difference to speed, apps opening, large multilayer Photoshop files, anything.

The law of diminishing returns applies to RAM.

If you are already on an VF open term plan can you still get the Note 7 for $1299 without buying a new open term plan?

Yea i mean no offence ;)
Yes of course as pointed out the point of diminished returns is true, but as my previous point it all depends.
Id say 6gb comes close to that limit, but as you say it may not be huge, more minor.

Sorry, my response was a little prickly when I re-read it. I apologise. 

They will no doubt test the living snot out of this thing to see if it makes a difference, but I'll bet $10 paid to a charity of your choosing, that the results are so minimal as to not be relevant or have a detrimental effect in some other way.

Awesome. My order is apparently made, but because it's retail they have no idea how many, what colour or when stock will arrive in store. 

There is a small chance therefore, that I may miss out on a phone! If that happens I will be very unhappy, but here's hoping. 

One of the retail store managers I spoke to told me they hadn't had a single pre-order, and that every single bit of feedback had been about how terrible the price was and how people weren't going to consider

paying that price. 

Fingers crossed.

Wife's phone order says the same status on the Samsung Website tracking :)
