1.5GB of ram isn't enough. I often run out of ram and I have 2GB. Why can't they put good specs, in a smaller phone? Is it so much to ask for? Only company that does it is Sony, and I'd rather eat feces than deal with their customer service (which is clearly the work of Satan's evil brother)*

*owner of 2 Xperias (Z & Z1) which have both broken. Having screen issues on the Z1,and sonys response was 'it's a software issue so you'll have to wait' - even though I've been waiting since Jan... Honestly..

Back on topic though, it's another mid range phone with a (most likely) high end price tag, much like the One M8 mini

1.5GB RAM isn't enough ? What are you doing ?
On my old S2, with even less RAM, I don't face any issues?!

1.5GB of RAM Isn't enough?! I've had database servers with less memory, serving 100+ connections.

1.5GB of RAM isn't enough, kids these days don't know they are born, in my day I was lucky to get physical memory, and even then the scheduler would beat us with a stick and page it, but we were damned grateful.

Why is it that Samsung can't make a 'mini' phone that is high end? My S4 mini is ok, but I really didn't expect that important things like a notification light were left out. Their only high end phone is the size of a tablet. I just want a smaller phone that hasn't had the the quality sucked out of it and I will glady pay the price, even if it cost as much a the bigger models.
