Looking at these 2 machines.
qnap ts-231p3-2g vs synology ds220+
1 has an alpine arm processor. 4 cores
ddr3 RAM
1 has an x86 processor with 2 cores but higher clock speed
DDR4 RAM
I'm wanting to use it for video/photo storage from an android device that can also view photo/video without having to download on that same device.
Which is better performance? They are the same price for me

In terms of performance for your use case, the Synology DS220+ may be the better option due to its x86 processor and DDR4 RAM, which can offer faster and more efficient processing compared to the QNAP TS-231P3-2G with its Alpine ARM processor and DDR3 RAM.
However, it's important to note that both of these NAS devices can handle your video and photo storage needs and allow for remote viewing from your Android device. It's also important to consider other factors such as ease of use, software features, and expandability when making your decision.
