New Bionic Specs?

[brooklyn2410]

the cpu is going to be clocked at 1.5 not 1.2 and its going to be the ti OMAP 4460 dual core processor

Why do you keep posting this? Do you honestly expect anyone to take you seriously without any sources?

I didn't mean to post it that second time my fault

Im a little disappointed... dont get me wrong im getting it, but theres no true game changer here... new processors almost same clock, some extra ram.. (ddr2?) Webtop moto gimmick. Maybe ive just been expecting more since its been 6 months since the original specs came out. I guess i fell victim to the anticipation.. still looks like itll be a good phone.... and grey? Meh lol

I think I still want it......I like the specs but the hate waiting game
COME ON MOTO!!!!

I bet they release this phone with froyo. Specs look decent though. I like SGS2s specs better, hopefully S2 has 4g. I know the S2 wont be locked has a better screen and has GB.

I seriously doubt it.

 

[Stelv]

I hope so. Because as of right now there will be only one 4g phone on vzw with dual core and 1gig ram to choose from. Pretty poor offering vzw, although bionic specs look pretty good, I just dont like moto.

Like a lot of you, I have earned my stripes waiting for the Bionic. Living through the ups/downs of Bionic availability has been frustrating. Which leads me to the question: What is the real-life performace gain of a dual-core processor? Like "really"?

The reason I ask is b/c I've seen the real-life performace of both dual and single-core Android phones, and frankly I am not seeing much of a difference. I am well aware that future releases of the OS will take better advantage of the dual-core architecture, so will the apps, so even better performance is still coming.

But really, the newest crop of Android phone are fast in the stuff we do most: flipping through home screens, starting apps, closing apps, running apps. Most of us are not crunching huge databases on our phones, or using crazy resource-intensive apps where we'll see true time savings.

It reminds me a little of back in the day when a new Mac would come out with a new processor that performs 100% faster than the current one. The "real-life" measurement would be that a gaussian blur in Photoshop that took .5secs now takes .25secs. In abstract, that seems incredible. Except when I applied real-life - I use that blur 5 times a month, saving me about 1.25 seconds a month. Wow - really?

Don't get me wrong, I "like" the bestest/fastest/coolest phone, and waiting for the Bionic proves that I am willing to invest in a frustrating wait. But I am not completely convinced that a dual-core makes a total night/day differnence in what we use our phones for the most.

I can think of a couple of things at least that I would use a phone that fast for, specifically hd video streaming from netflix and youtube as well as sharing hd videos I've shot with my camcorder from my phone. The 1080p HDMI output is an awesome feature I plan to take full advantage of but even a dual core 1.2ghz processor is likely to struggle somewhat with that resolution.

Ok. I wont jinx the Bionic. It's gotta have GB, or it's suicide for Moto.

Guys it is looking like these are the Specs. Credit goes to Oxn.

WNRussell at HOFO confirmed the Specs. So take it for what it is worth.

Its going to sport a
dual core 1.2ghz
1gig of ram
16gb internal memory
QHD display with gorilla glass
4G LTE
4.3inch screen
HDMI out
webtop
a brand new look, unlike the one we saw at CES, silver casing

and get readyyy!!!!!! Its coming mid August.

The new photo and form factor of the Bionic should be released soon...

Sorry EVO 3D,2 late!!So its fair 2 say this BEAST will lets say put u back about 250-300?

Here is an article on dual-core My dual-core is better than your single-core, or is it? - Phone Arena

I partially agree with you. Single core is plenty fast. I could use a phone with a single core if it had more than 512mb ram, at least 1gig actually. But we do want to make sure our phones are future proof if we are on 20 month contract. As the OS progresses over the years it will become more memory intensive and dual core and ram will be more necessary. But yes Froyo and even Gingerbread only take advantage of one core anyways. Icecream sandwich will take advantage of dual core. Also I was told webpages will render faster with a dual core.

Thats all ive been hearin about vzw's 4g service -how fast the pages load,so now all i need is 4 vzw 2 flip the switch here n the boro.

Verizons 4g is pretty fast here in my area and I am on the outer fringe. We get like 8mbs in the extended 4g area. Its gotta be super fast in the actual 4g area. This is the only thing making me think twice about jumping on the evo 3d and sprint when it comes out.
