Multitasking/RAM

[XDA_RealLifeReview]

You're busy and don't have time to wait, which is why you need to stop reading this thread and get back to organizing your Pogs. Rate this thread to express how the Samsung Galaxy S7 performs when multitasking. A higher rating indicates that the Samsung Galaxy S7 keeps many apps in memory so that they don't need to reload, and that when moving between apps, transitions are smooth and performance is excellent.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

100% ... anyway I thing it is due to android 6.0.1 than samsungs tweaks

So far I'm loving this phone. I used to be a Galaxy hater, but this phone is amazing. Everything is SMOOTHER than butter, and I've got at least 10 different apps running right now.

Way better than the Note 5 was!

Exynos 8890 DRAM Bandwidth

I'm interesting is asking if someone may run the below DRAM bandwidth app in "Misc" mode using 2 & 4 threads:

Search for "RgBandwidth" in the PlayStore.

As you may all know the new Exynos 8890 has in it the internally developed ARM CPU cluster (the BIG cluster) called Exynos M1.
According to Andrei's below detailed article we should see a major leap in raw DRAM bandwidth due to a completely redesigned Cache Coherency mechanism:
"Samsung Announces Exynos 8890 with Cat.12/13 Modem and Custom CPU" - November 12, 2015 - from anandtech[dot]com

I don't own (yet) this phone, but I would be glad if someone could run this benchmark with both the S6 & S7 to see the difference.
Thanks

memory so far is enough. some stock bloatware occupied some memory tho.

Unfortunately they didn't fix the issue. If you start to use an app more (eg: facebook, youtube), the system removes other recently apps from memory. And this happens with battery saver disabled!

With built-in app battery saver, the system remove apps from RAM after few minutes/hours of no usage. Eg, if you leave your apps overnight, the next morning, most of the apps will reload. This happens only with battery saver on.

always seem to have lots of ram free, moreso than my other device the Xiaomi Mi5.

it about 3 yrs I don't use Samsung galaxy as daily phone for long time!
I remember famous gui problem called S-Lag on galaxies and also lots of news about new and clean gui
also I experience it but not for long time!
how RAM usage and freeing process works? without rebooting for like 10 days of heavy usage. (last long time experience with galaxy was not good )
but really like to buy upcoming S8... so need to know more

ram managment has improved so much more in the mm updates i cant wait to try nougat
damn shame between ram and core pros power it beats my pc into the ground

I have a 4gb ram honor 8 and it does out perform the s7, I own both in real world speed and battery life.

 

[Cyn1]

4GB is more than enough.

9/10, mostly satisfied, but some apps get refreshed all the time.

Really good multitasking
Mine does not free up memory while busy or asleep at night)

S8 8.0 oreo exynos

The multitasking seems great, it's uncomparable with the last years flag ships. Samsung started doing good optimizations to multitasking and now they are at almost the same level with HTC. Thumbs up!
