Smartphones have evolved from just ordinary touchscreen multitasking devices to advanced personal assistants and addictive electronic/digital companions. Your device might be the fastest device in the world to you because it works pretty well, you are used to it or it just hasn’t lagged yet. Well, that’s true to some extent. Whenever I get a new smartphone, I naturally see it as the best or fastest smartphone ever. Funny right? It’s just a feeling which every smartphone owner has. Now, what actually makes you feel or know your smartphone is not worth the hype?
- When a newer device from your brand is launched and you get to see it or go through it, that feeling of …. just creeps in.
- When you find out that your friend’s smartphone has 15 opened tabs on Google Chrome and the browser is still rocking, while you are still waiting for the unfortunately Chrome has stopped message to close because you opened up to 7 tabs which were even very slow.
- Oh, playing HD games on different devices could just spell out the truth about how fast a device is. Slower devices tend to take more time to even load the game completely, let alone doing the real job.
It’s kinda… The camera, music player, file manager, browser, dialer and other apps should open when I hit the icon and I don’t really care how long it takes for the app to launch. All I want and care about is that the app I clicked should run/open.You might not buy the fastest smartphone currently trending, but using a fast smartphone keeps you on track, saves time, battery and a even does a lot more. We will probably talk about that in a jiffy. CPU/Chip makers like Qualcomm, Mediatek, Huawei Hisilicon, Apple etc, are mostly working on producing faster CPUs that are very small in size, consumes less battery, doesn’t heat up and have the best photo features/capabilities for the modern era of photo devotees. With that said, let’s see the fastest smartphones in 2017 or let’s say 2018, since it’s just at close range. Just to put you on track, the speed of the smartphones will be compared when used in the normal day to day activities like gaming, video recording, file transfer, browsing and how their CPU speeds differ.
