Ipad 3 is already with 2048-by-1536 res. I really wonder how far mobile technology can go. Still I believe quadcore is too soon since most of the apps for desktops are only running on two cores. And that's including the more complex stuff you can't possibly do on a mobile phone.

unless skyrim on ipad..then yea

Desktops now in quad-core with ivy-bridge and sandy bridge architecture with intel mobile graphics 4000 chipset. which dubbed as Core-i7 and AMD has quads and now wants to compete in Mobile Chipset with codename medfield and as AMD I dunno.

Quad-core isn't soon, will come in 6~7 months. The next Nexus phone will ship in quad-core processor, as about the Apple side mostly is quad-core graphics like current new ipad. Since they follow the tradition of having same chipset both tablet and iPhone.

Even thou, the next Nexus isn't comes with quad-core. The current ASUS Transformer comes with Tegra 3 which is 40nm process quad-core Cortex-A9 with 4+1 architecture (eww... why not A-15). S4 and Enyxos also TI will shown their version of quad-cores in 28 and 32nm process plus with upcoming Cortex-A15 architecture

The reason of having quad-core not only better multi tasking. Like we wanted long time ago, last long battery and on-time screen. We know everyone likes to utilize their smartphone longer like the past nokia days where you don't need to charge every time. The new Cortex-A15 architecture should promise users like us for power energy saving and efficiency. Plus, not every application require 4 cores to fully utilize the process. Only heavy resources that requires it, I don't mean to said that playing Angry Birds needs quad core.

Not only energy efficiency, having quad-core load stuffs easier than having dual and single. Is like on one task you will split to two or divide individually into four to make things done faster. Web-browsing also requires CPU too, with quad-core loading web pages is snappy fast like seconds.

The upcoming Android 5.0 aka Jelly-Bean should support multi-core processing, even thou ICS has support multi-core processing. JB should done the job better than current ICS.

Even you said it's too soon, but for some people it's needed. Technology always move forward, unless you manage to freeze your own time-line.

Sorry for long post.

quad core last longer battery?

I think the plan is to make quad core more efficient, hence longer lasting battery, but we'll only know when quad core phone starts coming out.

For me, I don't chase phone tech or any tech actually haha and my usage for phone is simple, call, sms, online sometimes and some casual games, hence I never look at quad core since I definitely do not need it based on what I am gonna use my phone for.

so far from what I understand battery drain should be the same as other phones... just depends on how much processing power you are using. the more apps, 3g, wifi etc you have on, the more power you use, and the battery dries up faster as a result... I think.

no. he's just blabbering shit.

usually newer processor are more energy efficient compared to the older generations mostly due to smaller die. its not that having more core equates to lesser power burn.

I feel like my laptop is really old .. only dual core!!

I want to upgrade to i5 or i7 now ..

any new findings on the phone from users thus far? complaints? short reviews?

will be useful for future buyers....

hi guys, can XPS support USB direct to audio system for new honda city (not AUX cable) ?

i accidentally slept on my xps and there's this smudge that won't go away.

lol.

one update i found: the GPS issue mentioned earlier seems to be only encountered by taiwanese or HK firmware. UK and others do seem unaffected. good news i suppose.

Geh. Complicated stuff. I'll just get the XS and be happy with it, lol.

:0 which part? On the screen? How sad...

Hmm, since we're closer to Taiwan instead of UK... we might get the problematic Taiwanese models? Not good... though I thought they released new firmware recently (didn't say what it fixed, though).

u like sleeping with your XPS eh

hug and sleep

Hmmm didn't see Ninja complain much about the phone, so I guess its quite ok

its a good phone

I don't want to know more details about how the smudge appeared, lol.

Ninja surely having tonnes of fun with it until he forgot about the existence of the thread.

I think so too, which mean is good news, if got problem should have more complain to post here ma haha

Ask him if he got leave any "smudge" or not there. If got, surely the screen is culprit.
