NTT DOCOMO's Fujitsu smartphone "ARROWS X F-10D" is equipped with a quad-core CPU, LTE communication chip, human-centric engine, fingerprint authentication sensor, temperature and humidity sensor, etc. is also quite a "all-inclusive" configuration. With PCs, the more hardware and software you have, the more time it takes to start up and shut down (end) due to initialization. Is there a tendency for smartphones, which are sometimes described as "small PCs"? This time, we will answer questions about startup and shutdown, including verification of this point.
Fujitsu's "ARROWS X F-10D". Available in three body colors: Black, Blue, and White Back number of "I want to know 'here'"Android smartphones are characterized by a high degree of freedom and the ability to use a large number of applications. For that reason, if it is running for a long time, the operation may become slow or unstable due to a "memory leak" in which the memory that should be released is not released. In that case, restarting the terminal often solves such problems and improves the condition. In such a case, the function to restart the main unit from the menu is convenient. In ARROWS X, there is a "restart" item in the shutdown menu that appears when you press and hold the power button. By tapping this, you can restart directly without selecting "Power off". In the case of terminals from other companies, it is normal to warn before restarting, just like when turning off the power, but with ARROWS X, when you tap it, it restarts suddenly. Note this point.
As I mentioned at the beginning, the hardware and software components of a PC. As the number increases, it tends to take longer to start up and shut down. How about the ARROWS X, one of the summer's best all-inclusive smartphones? I compared it with "ARROWS X LTE F-05D", which is the predecessor of this unit, and "REGZA Phone T-02D", which is also made by Fujitsu this summer.
I try to match software settings other than the OS version as much as possible. For startup, we shot until the "BatteryMix" used to measure the battery and internal temperature was ready to start, and for shutdown, we shot until the display disappeared. As a reference, I also shot a similar video of LG Electronics' "Optimus it L-05D" on behalf of overseas manufacturers' terminals this summer.
ARROWS X F-10D startup ARROWS X F-10D shutdown ARROWS X LTE F-05D startup ARROWS X LTE F-05D shutdown REGZA Phone T-02D startup REGZA Phone T-02D shutdown Optimus it L-05D Startup Optimus it L-05D shutdownFrom power on (vibration activated) to BatteryMix loading (boot complete), F-10D takes about 1 minute 20 seconds, F-05D about 1 minute 30 seconds, T- 02D was about 53 seconds, L-05D was about 45 seconds.
Comparatively, there is not much difference between F-10D and F-05D in the time it takes to start up, but it is nearly 40 seconds slower than T-02D and 45 seconds slower than L-05D. On the other hand, there was almost no significant difference in shutdown between the 4 models, and it ended in about 15 seconds. From this result, it may be inferred that the fact that the CPU and the LTE communication chip are configured separately works against startup. If you don't turn it off and on again that often, you probably don't care that much.
However, as I mentioned in my previous question, a reboot can be one way to make your device feel better. If this is done frequently as a know-how, this slow start-up speed can be one of the elements that is frustrating. Although the T-02D has a different chip configuration, it has a tendency to "include everything" in terms of hardware, while aiming to speed up startup. Regarding the F-10D, I would like to see some improvement in the startup speed through software updates.
