So, we already knew that Samsung current flagship is Galaxy S3 with it quad core smartphones, that beat iPhone 4S all of the way including basic specs and market sales.

And one of its closest rival in terms of multi-core processor, is HTC One X, which also equipped with quad core processor.

Now, Sony is also trying to pushing back their names on the top by releasing few flagship units in their launching event such as Xperia V and Xperia T, which only equipped with dual core processor but comes with extra features: Water & Dust Resistant!

However, based on benchmark scores in below, it shows that roughly, a dual core phones is performing slightly better compared to quad core phones. More processor means more heat, and less battery life. Is this one of the reason why other smartphone manufacturer choose to use dual core processor instead of quad core phone? what do you guys think?

Utilization > hardware.


Its such a waste to have quad but the OS unable to utilize them all.

i think user experience is much more important than hardware spec. so what if it is running quad core. its not like people is going to play skyrim on it =_=

I don't care. Just want to be able too multitask and use my phone fairly smoothly. I don't care if it get the job done. And so far my Samsung galaxy s3 does deliver.

It better can run autocad or else i wouldn't buy

in terms of pi calculation, definitely a faster processor wins since it does not utilize multi-core processor power. however, the overall test shows that Xperia V is performing as good as Galaxy S3, which is considered one of the best current smartphone. however, there are still no official review on those phones. i wonder if its goes as smooth as S3 and 4S.

Its unfair to use next gen chip vs current chip set .

Back to topic , quad is not needed as android not multi taking like windows . dual a9 is enough for all of the apps now on market .

However , its no harm to get more cpu

true
but multi task as u mentioned in other thread, seems like not using much proc power rite?
u mean like switching apps or running multiple apps at the same time?

wow. is it comfort enough to view it on phone?

i think they made it as comparison bcoz of S3 is the most outstanding smartphone nowadays

I miltitask like crazy. Is usually coz of viber whatsapp and Skype calls while I doing something. The jelly bean new notification will benefit me the most. Coz I can answer messages on the notification bar without going to the app anymore.

i'd say user experience using s3 has been great & it's the only android device ive ever used that nvr made me think of switching to custom roms.

i've a baby sony xperia active phone, not sure it can justify. but the xperia active is pretty decent. sony bravia engine kinda nice, their audio hardware is pretty good and most importantly, i love the dedicated camera button. sony roms in my opinion is still pretty lacking. not everyone is a social fanatic, for me timescape is irrelevant. majority of the apps from sony is irrelevant.

i'd also say, sony made a pretty decent optimization on the hardware. the single core on my sony feels snappier, compared to nexus S on jellybean

well I don't care about the benchmark at all
even the phone got very very high / highest benchmark score also nothing, it forever is just a phone
as long as the phone suit me well can already, no need care about other

Using a One X and I feel it's smooth with the latest update (before update I really regretted this purchase).It now a case of e-penor. I have quad you have dual, I win!

In terms of actual usage I don't think many can use up the full power of a quad core till its limit

use s2,gnexus,one x and now left s3 and gnexus.... my s3 was still ics but gnexus jb... sometimes i feel nexus faster then s3 ics.... sometimes s3 faster then nexus.... so my point is... if want use quadcore. the os itself also need to be new and update for it to support the apps that we want...

heat wise.... s3 and nexus is acceptable... battery wise.... nexus lasting longer..but only few hours diff... my case sometimes need to charge both both 2 times a fay... haha

Yes. A typical scenario is I have Skype on the whole while playing an online game with the person is am skyping. Just like how u do it on pc. In work example is viewing an excel doc while whatsapping. Or vibering or even skyping. In my galaxy s1 I'm not able to do so coz of limited resources, single core being one of them although insufficient memory is also the reason.

Depends on the os too. Systems like ios require less core for the same performance coz the os is tightly integrated with the hardware . But price wise its the same. For example an iphone 4s dual core is the same price with galaxy s3 quad core now.

This post has been edited by ramz: Sep 10 2012, 07:11 AM

imo, it is always nice to have more core especially u really ned it if u r really a heavy user e.g alot of multiasking..

but most importantly is the optimization, i really wish that android jelly bean phone will be in the mass market soon cos the user experience (base on my experience wit galaxy nexus jb) is superb, very buttery smooth, b4 jb, lag being android disadvantage for years since it first came out.

As long as you get what you wanted, i dont think Quod Core is a must. Personally i own Galaxy Beam and Galaxy S3, but i utilise Beam more then S3 because Beam is not battery hunger..

If about OS, of coz i prefer JB.. which Beam is far behind cause it not even have ICS..

ya.,... bascailly i don look for phone with 2.3 anymore... that why i don buy sony .... my minimum requirement for the phone now much b dual core with 1gb ram and must b ics ready from factory, not "upgradeable to ics soon"...

Yup totally agree with that . Thats y i don buy samsung .
My minium requirement for the phone is at least will be able to update to 4.0.4
After they dump my galaxy s plus which is not even half year after launch , i decided not to buy any samsung phone anymore . Forever stuck at 2.3 which other phone below Rm 500 already enjoying their ICS .

Sony trying hard to come back top in market.

Its not iphone needs quad core. Its dual core already over di. S3 needs quad core. I sold my HTC One X its so called quad core too lag and alot bugs.

Like windowsphone single core also faster than android with dual core it will beat android quad core.

Dont dream la samsung only can capture market share cant beat iphone sales.

Iphone launch till now still RM2199
Your S3 2months already drop at least RM300 le.

looking forward on LG Optimus G but note 2 is also a nice choice..

the question is, (to those who wants quad core to multitask), can we really multitask on the phone? I mean, erm, in PC, people play game while waiting for youtube to load, while downloading movies, maybe some even watch youtube video while rendering, while skyping with webcam.

But in phone, what do you really multitask? when you make a phone call, do you do browse website on your phone? when you watch youtube on android, can you whatsapp at the same time? once you "minimize" the youtube, the video even stop playing let alone downloading. what did you really multitask with your phone?

just my 2 cents

Well , i can pause my dead trigger while choosing song and download a youtube video and back to my game after that .

what apps did you use to download the video? cuz i've been searching for it, last time they used to have it, but now youtube bans all the apps in android market.

Hello. I hardly turn on my pc anymore. Even as I type here I am downloading bittorent. My phone is my pc now except doing ms office work. And yes while calling I also browse or do anything in context of my caller. This is is 2012. People do multitask on their phone like how they do it on the pc. Please update yourself.

ya...i also mostly depends on smartphone and tab already for surf internet.... my pc only use for BT and keep all my phone photo..

It's more a joke when ppl said up to date their pc is their phone. Samsung CEO must be rofl on the floor. Haha he might said I just fitted a quad core my customer intelligent fall for my trap and it will drop price.

From a 15 inch screen downgrade to 3.5inch to 5inch and a 15inch downgrade to 7 to 10inch and most of what a computer can do in a proper manner their phone can't.

Speaker from stereo downgrade to mono so proud le they update le hahaha.

From extreme gaming from direct x9 to direct x11 experience becoming more realistic on pc, the games on their phone look like games 10 years ago haha.

Ppl from stereo upgrade to 7.1 channel di with ASIO/dolby digital

Ppl browse Internet from 1920 x 1200 to 2560 x 1080 resolution now they downgrade the resolution and said update hahaha on mobile phone. You are going backwards and you are proud because the new backwards is the new update haha.

Sorry haha no offense it's just funny.

In case u talking a bout me
Yes I use my phone for most of the things I do on pc last time.
So what if screen is smaller. I still get hd. And if can project to my tv if I want.
I get stereo too dei. I do no the mumbo jumbo type of stereo u mention. But it's still stereo. Not that I care coz I'm not a sound nerd like some people.

I still get to see my movies anywhere and anytime. That's the point.

And listen. If I had to do this all on my pc. Then I won't be able to answer you until next week. Coz I'm out station and I didn't bring my pc with me. And most of the time I'm never with my pc anyway.
And for games. Well I don't care. Coz I don't play games on my phone. For gaming I have my ps3.
As far as I'm concern I'm not going backwards. But going mobile. And I have no time for my pc. But when I do that's great.

But if u not talking about me then disregard this message.

iphone or to be exact ios (apple) have only one product/manufacturer so their price drop is slower then the rest of the phone , just imagine if ios like android and have more then 1 manufacturer or more model. like sony/samsung/motorola/nokia/etc brand produce phone with ios as the main os, their resale value will be the same like android.

retail price for iphone is fix, while shop selling price is subjective.

other then that, blackberry phone one is good example imo if apple have multiple product. For an example curve-not so high resale value (middle/low end model), while certain model (bold series) is pricier.

btw same can be said for wp, imo their current resale value is worst then android, even price drop is faster then android.

I waiting for iPhone 5 to come and settle down. After using htc one x so called quad core it's not a really pleasant experience.

Samsung can't do what iPhone do they only can copy and make hardware. If tomorrow android decided to stop their current updates and start a new OS . Samsung sayonara. Their bada is dead and it's worse than Symbian

same like my wiffu will wait and see

may i know what phone are you using?

This post has been edited by toda_III: Sep 11 2012, 10:51 AM

S3 and ipad.

ipad is tab..
phone and tab different..

now, your s3, do you know the meaning of multitask?
not you multitask, phone multitask.
you call on your s3 while browsing? or while you browse, someone called, screen changed?
your s3 has the ability to play youtube while browsing different site?

This post has been edited by toda_III: Sep 11 2012, 11:09 AM

Ok sorry for the unintentional attack. Was in a bad mood.
I'm referring to both. For example I Skype somebody while browsing. Coz she asking me about flight details so I go to airasia to check the flights. Or while browsing someone call me. I answer call and while talking still continue browsing.
No . YouTube don't allow multitasking. youtube just pauses when u focus out. However for videos I can play it in a small window while browsing although I don't see the point. For audio then I see the point.
The best multitask I appreciate is when I play games with my kids online while tele video with them on Skype. It's the next best thing than being beside them.

dun forget samseng have wp as well

in one way they want to bolot everything, but hey its good business and more $$$

1. you do need a quad core
2. No phone can fully utilize a quad core.
3. samsung has always been a marketing gimmick, brandishing themselves as the best ,iphone killer, fastest phone when all they do is just squeeze in with more cores ,more this and that.

and FFS PLEASE LEARN ABOUT PROCESSOR ARCHITECTURE BEFORE COMMENTING, ITS SO ANNOYING WHEN SOMEONE CLAIM A QUAD CORE PHONE IS AS THE SIMILAR SPEED AS A QUAD CORE COMPUTER. THE SHEER STUPIDITY OF SOME GROUP OF PEOPLE IS UNBELIEVABLE!!!

Nicely said. It's not you need quad core is android need quad core

This post has been edited by aspire2oo6: Sep 11 2012, 02:08 PM

Its funny of how u can just add a few numbers and wordings like super! instead of the current give name like "amoled" and people will start flocking like sheeps to buy.

Is not that we need quad core. We need performance. I can't talk for all quad core phones coz I don't have them. But I talk for s3. Does it deliver? Comparing with my ipad performance is a little better on my iPad although I am nit picking. there are things that is noticeably slow on S3. Opening Skype is about 5 seconds slower on s3.and browsing on chrome can notice frame rate drop a little. And sometimes s3 returning to menu it takes a few seconds pause before it displays especially after a heavy app. But after all that I still prefer the overall experience on S3 coz it get things done. And the multitasking works better on s3. So quad core all dual core doesn't mean anything to me. It's the overall experience.

+1 .... same here.

Added on September 11, 2012, 3:58 pmlike ur pc is core i3 with xp, nothing much diff in speed, as xp cant fully utilize the dual core.xp develop that time year 2000 still no dual core...


then u upgrade ur pc to win7 with same hardware... i will not look back to xp anymore...

....


so when ur win7 run with core i3, u will ask for core i5 also if possible... why? win7can deliver so many things.. so u launch this and launch that... then soon u feel lag lioa... then think how nice if it is core i5...


so same thinking goes to handphone dual core or quad core

This post has been edited by vostro78: Sep 11 2012, 03:58 PM

But s3 quad core consider as mobile phone highest processor it's like i7 not i3.

Furthermore this i3, i5 and i7 real computer are customizable and upgradable.

Your s3 is not so you can't really compare.

If lag I can change the processor or add ram.

For me I more concern on resell value.

For desktop since its customizable and upgradable I will get a spec that can last me at least 5 years.

This post has been edited by aspire2oo6: Sep 11 2012, 04:36 PM

Resell value is for those who intends to sell their phone at some point. For me I never sell my phones. I just give them to My wife. Then my wife Give to my kids. So that is how I recycle my phones. So price drop is actually good for me as I can get my phones cheaper.

+1

if ur satisfied no need to change and sell, why concern ur self about the resell price

fyi for those who haven't yet experienced JB yet, quad core is not a necessity anymore

This post has been edited by stormlcc: Sep 11 2012, 06:06 PM

JB jailbreak?

The reason i worry about resell value because i want experience both world. Able to enjoy the latest phone and still depreciate less and still get to use that money (difference of the depreciating) for other investment rather than donate all to manufacturers.

If 1 year depreciate 1k in 3 years the phones i depreciate at least 3k.
If two phones depreciate 6k

jelly bean la.

I'm happy enough wit the performance of the iPhone 4S despite being dual core. If I were to buy a Samsung, it is because I want bigger screen.

Quad core means nothing if it sucks battery life and people showing it off just for the sake of benchmark.

+1 yes i agree this statement

i was considering android for the next phone after htc one X but safer go back ipjhone. Sadly android camera todate still godlike sux. Hope some manufacturer can turn around android in photo imaging.

This post has been edited by aspire2oo6: Sep 11 2012, 06:54 PM

I never JB before, care to explain this?

Too many short form too confusing. JB came first for iOS then they use it again for jelly bean haaha..

Android latest OS lai de

I'd go for iPhone 5 but the 0.5" difference with no width increase is just frustrating especially when I type in portrait more.

Added on September 11, 2012, 6:57 pmOh that! Jelly Bean is damn smooth. I tried it on a colleague's Google Nexus. The voice input is impressive, and dare I say much faster than Siri.

Nokia fans too disappointed with 920 camera bust up until accidentally clicked into Android forum?

have you notice iphone keyboard are pretty accurate even the screen is small. My HTC One X even so big screen so hard to type further more i am those type of person can type without looking on physical keyboard.

For me why i prefer iphone their updates are amazingly fast and even older generation phones/ipad are still supporting latest games. Like my bro ipad 1 it still can play all the latest games like batman arkham something, asphalt 7, reckless 2 and etc.

When you use even it crashes it restart and once a blue moon might hang. When they have better camera on android ill consider changing.

This post has been edited by aspire2oo6: Sep 11 2012, 07:02 PM

You'll need to catch up on ARM architecture big time.

not really interested there many more stuff i need to focus in life rather than research on those things. Too technical.

For me is usablity, stability, durability and most important camera.

If you are free do summarized so we can learn from you. Thanks

This post has been edited by aspire2oo6: Sep 11 2012, 07:08 PM

Then stop comparing it like 1+1=2. There's more underneath than just basic number.

Jelly Bean (android 4.1) is a totally new benchmark in the OS although 99% of it looks like ICS (4.0). ppl who says android lags or crashes a lot can now really shut up. it makes a single core old phone like my desire HD responds like a dual core (no shxt, seriously) and is a bit faster (in UI performances and responsiveness) than a galaxy S2 which I compared side by side.

the main problem with android is that most of the big manufacturers uses their own UI (or 'skins' if u prefer that term) like what samsung did with their Touchpiss UI that hogs too much resources and quite heavy, that's why it drags down their phone's performance. and that's why most android phones needs so much processing power (quad core and such) to counter the heavily modified versions of android. this is why iOS doesn't need so many cores to work smoothly, because it's as simple as drinking water, and it's not a full OS, it's just an app launcher, just like what android's app drawer works with rows and rows of icons, when u touch an icon, it just opens an app. android is entirely different, it has a desktop, it has live widgets, it has stock live wallpapers, it can have tons of stuff running in the background simultaneously, and now at last, google solved the problem. even with a full desktop that i machine gunned with live widgets and a full blown live wallpaper, it doesn't even lag a bit.

I'm using vanilla android JB on my DHD, it's the basis of android, pure and simple, that's why i always tell ppl to buy Nexus phones because it's what android is meant to be. ppl who says android is not supported when the phone is old but iOS will still be, but they got it all wrong because by android, most of them meant those that came with modded UI (again - touchpiss). manufacturers need to modify their skins that's why it takes so long and after a while, they got lazy. if u r using vanilla android (Nexus) then this shouldn't be a problem because everything is controlled by google.



if u don't want to give 2 shxts about this tech stuff, then u shouldn't be posting comments that u posted. try to understand the basics of the stuff because if u don't, all u r saying is considered BS, no offence.

I think this stupid topic is the culprit. It was never a which phone pawn which phone based on just the benchmarks used to judge the SoC superiority used in different phones. There's more to it than just some number crunch. Besides those who compare dual core faster than quad core has no idea at all about ARM architecture.

imo, other aspect to see is the future support. since imo android is power hunger, perhaps quad core will be fully use in the coming new rom (after JB perhaps)?

if put outdated hardware (which work in the current hardware) but future rom/os version? it might not run smoothly/lag.

example: my sis n my officemate mention their iphone 3gs slow after upgrade to the ios 5, while my coz said her bb curve 9300 lag with bb6. afaik all of the has done hard reset.

in the end some revert to old os and some upgrade the phone

D' Best explanation so far I ever read since I start reading comments about best phone/OS

now I fully understand and I do believe with your assessment

got ar, use nokia n9 and flash JB

from the sentence seems like you very hate samsung touchwiz UI
if you said the touchwiz UI make the phone lag, I can say that htc sense UI more lag
yes is the most beautiful UI in android, but make the phone lag, and use a lot RAM
you should know it since you got HTC DHD

anybody can compare s3 and s2 performance? is it vastly different?
must be the same OS (ICS) and everything else the same (stock OS).
and it must be practical usage like opening apps, returning to home, opening multitask panel, etc.

Benchmark doesn't have a big meaning as compare to your real user experience.
Optimization is important in a phone, if you have a quad core phone, make sure your software knows how to optimize all the cores to bring you the best performance.

I'm eager to see how JB can perform in Galaxy S3, hope Samsung don't mess things up.

it all runs down to architecture, look at how dual core a15 can trash a quad core a-9 chip

yes i hated touchpiss, and sense, and all of the stupid UIs created by manufacturers to put rubbish in them. but i hated touchpiss more because it's the worst of the bunch because it's so fugly. in the end, all the UI from manufacturers are SSDD

yes compare b4 sell my s2g :

screen : big diff in terms of clarity, res, brightness,total view info per page. s3 win
battery wise : s2g win then s3 (compare for continuously 5 weekday)
speed : s3 win a lot, screen was vy responsive, quad core mah..... goto app, facebook,email , phone start up faster.



what else u want to compare? once u use s3....u wont use back s2...anyway, my case is i carry nexus and s3 together. cause my case is once i use jb, hard for me go back ics.

coz i skipped generation from s1 to s3, skipping s2. since i bought a rm2000 phone it should not perform like a 1300rm s2 otherwise why i'm paying the extra dough for? so its good to hear. anyway, the smart stay alone is quite nearly worth the rm700 value, really helps me tremendously! the smart stay works so subtly u don't notice it working until u turn off the feature. i once thought it was useless because in low light it doesn't work properly, so i turned off the feature. but as soon as i turn it off the phone immediately became very annoying to use! so now i know its really a very useful feature although not perfect.

Obviously this TS is making stupid thread to bash Galaxy S3. No need to pin point out your lover "Sony Xperia V" trumps the Galaxy S3 in performance. HTC One S with Snapdragon S4 processor did that already with the same CPU and GPU as Sony Xperia V using. You must know both are on different ARM architecture, even ARM Holdings already stated A15 architecture will be faster than A9 architecture 40%. So what's the point of opening this thread and compare between two different architecture?

But in terms of screen and graphics, Galaxy S3 with Super AMOLED and Mali GPU trumps your Sony Xperia V TFT LCD screen and Adreno GPU. Super AMOLED is the most advanced display technology for smartphones yet, it drains the least power and have better contrast than TFT LCD.

Lastly, even Galaxy Note 2 released with Jelly Bean out of the box, yet Sony releasing Xperia V in Ice Cream Sandwich, seriously?


*Sony Xperia V is equiped with the same SoC as HTC One S.

A smartphone SoC includes the integration of CPU and GPU no? They are both couple, and you whine about don't discuss GPU? Again, GPU also have cores. How funny are you. Who the hell you think you are? Ask me to open a new thread then I go and open? Sry i've no interest doing that.

Same Shxt Different Day

im sure most of the S3 users only know how to call, sms, take photo, go gallery,post facebook, save contacts...total of 20% of the functions i believe..haha

I will say not a must ,

Try side by side comparison of Nexus S and One X

opening app drawer - same
loading gallery - one X faster a bit ( 0.5 sec i believe)
scrolling the menu - smooth , both no lag.
never try much ,

mind you this is single core vs One X . One X for sure will faster than the Nexus S , but not much. maybe it will shine in latest games . normal using single core still fine, thanks to the Jellybean update on the nexus s .

me playing game, email and surfing almost all the time

rugi if not fully uterlize free stuff .

waw how sure are you boss?
