Please tell us the advantages using 64bit with 600mb of usable memory. I'm dying to here your response.

Even 64 bit computers after over a decade of being 64 bit are not even taking advantage of it.heck not even most high end games are written in 32bit to save space and most are not even multithreaded.

Here is the exact same version of chrome one codded in 32 bit and one arm64 and there is absolutely zero noticeable difference in use and it takes up 2x the space.your advantages are washed out with 1gb of ram when the apps take up 2x the space and fill that ram up.

Like I said we will get full use of 64 bit when we go 8gb ram and devs can allocate that extra usuable memory to load more data in the pool.

The tegra x1 has a few special developed games that are taking advantage of 64 bit like the full real port of doom and the unreal engine running full real time but those games are 6gb and still get bottle necked by its ram.

I'm an S6 user right now and I will concur, that despite amazing hardware specs, Touchwiz is still the biggest issue with Samsung's devices. I cannot believe how absolutely bloated it is, and how many issues occur with it because of deplorable memory management.

now the problem here, is that this isn't ANDROIDS problem. I have also used stock 5.1.1 on other devices, and none of those suffer the same problems.

Put 3GB ram on a Stock 5.1.1 install, with an octo-core 64bit CPU that samsung provides (Their hardware is amazing). and it would scream. But then toss on touchwiz, and it's a mess. I cannot believe someone at that company even believes its acceptible in 2015 to release such crud

Completely agree. I know it's time for more RAM on iPhones, but iOS manages its 1GB of RAM a heck of a lot more efficiently than touchwiz manages 3GB! Deplorable memory management indeed.
