Does anyone know what percentage of apps on the store are 64 bit or is it just about games at present? ive googled this but got absolutely nowhere, almost as if google are keeping quiet about it which is ironic since they made such a big thing about it at the start. maybe its cos there are still very few 64 bit apps? and thats why they are keeping quiet. * +

Its the same in most markets. Android Tablets aren't well treated, they tend to get internals that are a generation or 2 old vs. the latest Android Smartphones. Tablet industry is dying, manufacturers have been investing less into it for the last 18months. People keep them much longer, and more people are getting Phablets instead. * +

I know what you mean. A fast android tablet could be classed as a mid range smartphone in terms of performance (model dependent) * +
