I'm about to upgrade to a dual-core, and to think quad-core is pretty much around the corner:icon_eek:

Im with ya buddyI'm about to upgrade to a dual-core, and to think quad-core is pretty much around the corner:icon_eek:
Im with ya buddy![]()
but if its HTC selling this phone, I dont want it... I love my thunderbolt but battery does not last over 4.5 hrs
And out if all the phone companies, HTC and their bad battery life just has to come out with the first quad core phone... ... ... Think Thunderbolt but tons worse...
I hope it comes with an extension cord so I can walk around the house with it... Oh man, just think, you run to the car to get it plugged in before it dies, then you get to school jump out if the car, and sprint to class, so you can plug in again!
I think I'd take a "less power" (not really) dual core with good battery over a "more powerful" (not really) quad core. Customers are always brought in with the processors not the battery... Boycott quads! xD
People seem to forget that CPU manufactures are designing these cores (dual/quad) to have extremely good battery life, while single cores weren't. Same things were said about dual cores when they first started coming out, and my X2 lasts me a whole day, and when I plug it in to charge, it's at about 60%...I'm at 42% after a whole day in an unrooted thunderbolt.
Dual and quad core are more efficient.
:blink: I seriously dont get how you average that? I even bought 1700 batteries and still get the same results (4-5 hrs)I'm at 42% after a whole day in an unrooted thunderbolt.
Dual and quad core are more efficient.
Quad core on phones huh? My laptop is a quad core and there have only been a few times where I've actually needed all of that power (damn you CATIA).

I live in socal so im in 4G all day, and Im rooted on BAMF rom. I have just given up on trying to fix w/e is wrong with my battery life problem
The quad-cores should have better battery life because when ur no doing cpu intesive things on the phone two of the cores shut down because they aren't needed and when u need the processing power all four kick in ...

wikipedia said:Tegra 3 (Kal-El) series
The Tegra 3 is functionally a quad-core processor, but includes a fifth "companion" core. All cores are Cortex-A9s, but the companion core is manufactured with a special low power silicon process. This means it uses less power at low clock rates, but more at higher rates; hence it is limited to 500 MHz. There is also special logic to allow running state to be quickly transferred between the companion core and one of the normal cores. The goal is for a mobile phone or tablet to be able to power down all the normal cores and run on only the companion core, using comparatively little power, during standby mode or when otherwise using little CPU. According to Nvidia, this includes playing music or even video content.[SUP][22][/SUP]
- Processor: quad-core ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore, up to 1.5 GHz
- 12-Core Nvidia GPU with support for 3D stereo
- Ultra low power GPU mode
- 40 nm process by TSMC
- Video output up to 2560×1600
- NEON vector instruction set
- 1080p MPEG-4 AVC/h.264 High Profile video decode
- The Kal-El chip (CPU and GPU) is to be about 5 times faster than Tegra 2[SUP][18][/SUP]
- Estimated release date is now to be Q4 2011 for tablets and Q1 2012 for smartphones, after being set back from Nvidia's prior estimated release dates of Q2 2011,[SUP][19][/SUP] then August 2011,[SUP][20][/SUP] then October 2011[SUP][21][/SUP]
eh its to big....or the battery is to small....the colors ugly.....the build is too beefy....to much metal...it weights to much....it have gorilla glass we want lotus....the battery is to big we could never use that much MAH.....the it doesnt have an SD card...it has an SD card but only take 32gb or larger and who can afford that, the pixel density isnt enough, the screen uses to much power, it has an ugly pentile screen, it doesnt use a amoled screen, the screen is to nice, the phone has to much power, 1.5ghz is to high, 1.5ghz isnt enough, quad core is to much, quad core isnt enough, it didnt have 3d camera, the camera isnt good enough, thats an old camera, the camera uses to much battery, it only has 1 led, the speaker is horrible. the speaker is to loud, the speaker isnt loud enough, the phone doesnt have a subwoofer, the phone has a subwoofer and it shakes when i play music
Right???!!!!!!!! Did i forget anything??
Also, how big would this be with a 4.7" screen AND hard buttons? A lot of people feel that the Nexus can only get away with the 4.65" because it includes the software buttons.
I'm not impressed. Give me 1.5-2 Gb RAM with a dual core. Or at least increase clock speed with more core's. This is just getting silly.
