Thats nice. If you can play video in the background and edit a word file, that is good enough multitasking for me. But may i know which phone you have. I am pretty sure samsungs (the ones without the ability for splitscreen) cannot do that.

Let me tell you a typical mutltiasking scenario where i have seen most android fail. You try an load a website. Here in india we are still with 2g/3g. So an average website in desktop mode takes around 5 seconds to load. With E71,E72,E7,n900,n9 or BB10 i always try to open some other app in the mean time. (May be check messages in whatsapp or read the rest of the pdf which i had open) and then come back to the browser to see if the web page has loaded. All the android phones i have used till now reloads or wouldnt have finished downloading when i come back after say about 20 secs. That said my android exposure is limited to my cousin's moto x(2 GB ram), my sisters moto g (2 GB) and my parents samsungs with 1-2gb ram. Can the present androids do that?
