For those who are wondering about 256MB RAM, I used to have the first Lenovo Android phone, the A60 (although it ran on GB which they say should be similar to KK in performance). I didn’t know much about RAM on Android back then since it was an impulse buy and I’m used to great performance of Nokia Symbian rocking on 128MB RAM. Well, the experience was horrible, I can run games like PVZ, Angry Birds, etc… but with lag and if I press Home and go back to the game.. it reloads from the beginning. And don’t even think about running Temple Run (I wasn’t even able to run TR1 back then). If you treat it as a basic phone, MP3/Video player then it should be good enough. After all, the phones above are smart phones on feature phone price.
