The HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S4 are two of the latest and greatest phones to hit the market. They both come with 2gb ram to ensure a smooth operation.

However, there is a startling difference between the memory requirements of these devices. On the HTC One, there is no app or setting that is installed to show you how much ram is left to use after the phone has used what it needs. On the S4 there is a task manager that does show the free ram available. And it’s not surprising why the HTC One omits this information. Read on.

So the HTC One has 1.5gb free from the provided 2gb.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 has 0.8gb or 800mb free from the provided 2gb.

So guess which phone is having users comment on phone lag, freezes, camera lag and stutters.

Yep, the Samsung Galaxy S4. It is simply overloaded with too many features, and touchwiz is a huge memory hog. The HTC One has nearly double the free ram available providing a fast, lag and stutter free experience, and hence can safely omit memory ram usage.
