Re: The Windows Phone Thread
I don't think so... In android you don't see this.. maybe after WP 8.1 but now now for sure...
In android isnt it like anything plays, but may lag ?
What I do know is that WP puts strict requirements on the RAM usage. Either you as a developer guarantee that the RAM usage will be below xMB and make it compatible for 512MB phones, or you dont and the app gets listed as 1GB or above only. There is no in-betweens. What this means is that not every app will run inevery phone forever - sooner or later the median RAM shifts away from 512MB and then you know...
The easiest way for this to not happen is if the low end variants like the L520 keep selling like crazy - but then the newest low end member L525 already has 1GB RAM.
I believe that WP blue will be last major update that the L520 will get. And around the same time you'll find that the newer apps (heavy ones of course) stop *trying* to support 512MB. Not too bad, since we already have most apps supporitng 512MB, and of the future apps most will by default support 512MB, only the bigger games wont.
