Krait and Exynos are slightly different architectures. Krait is a little better in some things, so raw MHz doesn't tell you the whole picture.

It's a little hard to explain, coz architectural improvements can mean same MHz but very different performance.

How can you make statements like that? That's totally wrong.

Multi core CPUs have cores each that can go up to the max rated frequency. Ie each core can go from 100-200MHz to the max speed.

And you don't count by multiplying the frequencies.

Multicore CPUs need properly written programs (called multithreaded) to reach max effectiveness. Then the architecture of the CPU also impacts performance.

The Krait family is an A9+A15 hybrid, while the Exynos 4xxx family are pure A9 with some tweaks. At any given same speed, the Krait will outperform the Exynos.

Only because Exynos has more cores helps it improve in some benchmarks due to properly executing tasks on all 4 cores. A 4 core Krait S200, S300 will beat a 4 core Exynos 4xxx CPU of the same frequency.

GPU architecture also plays a factor, and that's a whole different story altogether.


I could be mistaken in some of these areas since it's all moving so fast, but you can all verify these by reading the spec sheets and reviews from all over.

Yes that's the general way it works.

Any phone that can run Android is already a smartphone since it is a full fledged computing platform. The differentiator is the speed, RAM, screen size/pixels, and the rest are just accessories.

You have to think of an Android phone as a COMPUTER first, which has phone and accessory functions.

This is a phone thread. You are the TS you have responsibility to maintain current info for the phone if the members ask u. Then you can keep it lively.

*came* ?

You've downloaded everything. So did you READ everything?

I also suggest Orange Backup for rooted phones. Just tried it, you can do everything from within Android instead of booting to recovery. Pretty cool. Even allows you to send it to your cloud storage.

It creates either TWRP or CWM compatible backups. You can use the recovery to restore.

Haven;t tried that, but if it is a standard nandroid, TiBu should be able to read it.

It's a 3 minute process once you start.

Aiseh bro, rooting or not is simply a switch in the software. Nothing will change after rooting. All it does is unlock all the doors for you.

Seriously.... I don't why they even bother faking low end phones..... this is a bad part of the Chinese electronics industry.

Corrupted download when flashed will usually cause bootloop. Use some md5 checking program like hashtab.

Stay offline. Enjoy the outdoors. Totally different perspective. Learn to cook and clean.

Oh yes, PROTECT YOUR PHONE ... put it in some waterproof pouch or leave it at home.

EVERYBODY will be thinking the same thing, and you will be fighting for plugs. Bring a multi-plug adapter and a powebank.

What do you do in the camp if I may ask ?

Chinese Culture Camp? Sing, dance, play Emperor and Concubines???

Not very well. Never paid attention in school
