Hi guys,
i would say that i am very happy with samsung s i9000 as i could do most tasks with ease and now my upgrade is due and i am confuse whether i should go for upgrade or not by paying extra 250 to 400 pounds. I have used s2 as well but to be honest i did like s 1 more and did not find any difference between single and dual core
Do these dual/quad cores or 1/2 gb RAM in s3/s4 make any significant difference ? or its just marketting tactics ? do s3/s4 has any advantage over s1 if you dont play any 3d games on mobile ?
thanks

Hi, on s3 s4 its 1 /2gb ram this makes the phone lag less and run smoother onjellybean as it is meant for jellybean whereas in our s1 it lags on jellbean as it meant for gingerbread........and quad core means more process can run and the cpu can take more load.....

yea but there are many jelly bean custom ROMS for S which dont lags at all and run smoothly and i mean we used to have 512 MB/1GB RAM in old desktop which was doing much more multitasking than our phone and was running ok
I understand that quad core or 2GB RAM could make difference for HD/3d games but do we really need quad core processor or 2GB RAM for internet surfing , email or watching videos on youtube etc
they just upgarde processor and ram and charge 4 time more than what galaxy s cost.
I'd upgrade to any phone with atleast 1gb ram and dual core(or more) setup any day! our phones are at the limits now.sgs lags like anything.android ain't slimming down.its resource hungry/less optimisation. we get tonnes of features in return thou.
if u can afford go for s4/HTC/sony or other phone as long as there's xda/community support.big deal breaker for me;developer support.
U do for multitasking!! for u i recomend s2!!

U want him to trade a lovely wolfson dac on s1 versus some **** that Is on s2?
Upgrade to s4 or don't upgrade at all. Or wait to see what sound s4 comes with.

Yes, for me also is sound and qualitiy of soundrecording important wether I choose a new phone or not.
I know what I have with my SGS9000.
I don't know how all the other new phone do the sound.
No one ever wrote about the sound recording qualities of up-to-date phone, yet.
hey all
its about 1 month since i started to search what my new smart phone (my first actually) should be.....now the last battle is between xperia z and lumia 920.....i hate that there rnt many videos about them together on YouTube....i just have 2 points to ask about....screen and processor....i know that u will say Z is HD and 441 PPI 5 inch..........and lumia is 4.5 .HD and so........i know it i just want some1 who tried both is there rly big difference in the display?.....the same about processor..Big difference?.......i saw the theoritical way....i need to hear about ur practice ^_^
BTW i cant try both phones as neither of them is in my city......thats why iam asking u Friends ^_^
thanks in advance

I tried both. The 920 is good but the system (Windows Mobile) it's running on is a complete disaster (Lack of apps, ugly UI, etc). It's build and design is also nothing less than pathetic in comparison to the Z. You won't notice a big difference in the pixel density unless you put your eyes very close to the display but I would still side with the Z because if a dead pixel arises, it will much harder to notice it on the Z, since its display is much more densely packed with them. The processor is also superior on the Z but what the 920 has, will suffice for most tasks aside from the newest and latest games (Once again, the Z wins here because it's more future-proof).
On a side notice, could you try to write nicer next time, the use of shorthand is annoying.

just a question.....if i didnt know that xperia z is quad and lumia is dual....would i notice that in performance?
about WP 8 i actually love it .....llack of apps will be fixed gradually...and i heard that xperia z lags more than lumia 920..true?.............and what about battery life?

quad and dual are very noticible.. quad can fast proccesing in apps,ofcors its quad, ull notice that on dual core. u might take catching up sometime when opening an app.. (windows phone for me not that useable by my daily basis).. im using ZL same specs in Z.. i dont have any problems with it.. my suggestion is use Z.. battery life so far not an issue anyways.. its on how you use ur phone..

thanks 4 ur reply but about processor let me agree and disagree aswell..........dual vs quad ofcourse quad wins but lumia runs WP8 with no lags at all....in some vids that i watched on Youtube i saw that devices with Quad core as Xperia z and With Android just lags a bit....they said something about adware..malware wich slows android down

Yes,as my friend using wp8 i used it for a few minutes,my observation is the the os is light,very minimal use of processing,i agree aswell,but for having quad im sure it helps fast speed, ofcors by the help of ram to take effect.. Quad integrates on multi tasking and as what i say,ram is there to help.. And it boils to what you comfortably using.. Lets keep this thread very useful. On some other threads comparing etc. Is been lockdown..

I agree all the way with u but....i got something to say which will need confirmation from u
that this is : If iam not a gamer or care alot about heavy 3d games....Lumia 920 would match me more,right?
I mean camera...speakers....even display (bravia engine is only on in photos and vids while HD+ and pure motion r always on)
oh btw....after the buttons bar (the grey one) how large the screen is?4.8 inchs or what?
Thanks in advance

First of all let's compare both phones in spec.
You can check it here for more info: http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4967&idPhone2=5204
But the most important features.
Screen:
Lumia 920: HD 1280x768 4.5" 332 ppi
Xperia Z: FULL HD 1920x0180 5" 441 ppi
There is quite a difference between full hd and hd also the ppi are much higher in the XZ, so the pictures/full hd videos will look much crisp on the XZ.
Weight
L920: 185 g (6.53 oz)
XZ: 146 g (5.15 oz)
The L920 is heavy, 40g more than the XZ. You will notice that
Memory / Storage
L920: 1Gb RAM / 32GB No sd-card slot
XZ: 2Gb Ram / 16GB Sd card slot
Ram depends on the OS and the usage. Storage is bigger on the L920 by default but no option to increase the storage.
Bluetooth
L920: 3.2
XZ: 4.0
If you use bluetooth a lot the 4.0 protocol is much reliable.
Camera:
L920: 8 MP, 3264 x 2448 pixels, Carl Zeiss optics, optical image stabilization, autofocus, dual-LED flash
XZ: 13.1 MP, 4128x3096 pixels, autofocus, LED flash
If I'm not wrong, L920 camera is much better in low light condition and in general terms.
OS
L920: Microsoft Windows Phone 8
XZ: Android OS, v4.1.2
Android has much more apps than WP8 in the market, the customization of android is endless (you can access file system, modify the whole rom, kernel) rather than in the wp8 is much more limited.
CPU / GPU
L920: Dual-core 1.5 GHz Krait / Adreno 225
XZ: Quad-core 1.5 GHz Krait /Adreno 320
Depends on OS and usage. Quad-core much faster than Dual-core.
Radio
L920 No
XZ: Stereo FM radio with RDS
If you need Radio FM, it's a no brainer. XZ has it, L920 doesn't. Obviously there is always Internet Radio that works using data mobile.
Battery:
L920: 2000mAh
XZ: 2330mAh
Price (SIM free):
L920: £399 Carphone Warehouse
XZ: £489 Carphone Warehouse
L920 is cheaper
Around the same battery life.
Right, now. Ask yourself this questions.
What are you going to use the phone for?
What is your budget?
Do you use app intensive taks? Playing heavy CPU/GPU intensive games?
Do you find useful the Water/Dust resistance on the XZ, (ie it's protected from rain, failing into water by accident)?

First of all, let me thank u 4 ur effort
secondly:about screen being Crisp or so...i heard that naked eye cant differentiate between both as if its higher than 300 PPI its almost the same
Iam not keen on gaming or so i will buy it mainly for reading e-books,taking pics and watching vids(not that much even)
About Water resistant....iam from a dry country...No rains for 3-4 years actually so it doesnt matter 4 me

Then zl is ur choice compromising the water resistant.. Even ur not gamer better specs still.. Use quad. Xperia z to say..
About the softkeys,theres a mod resizing that to 25 and black and depending what size u want. 48dpi is stock softkeys.. Lot of devlopers on z.

Take into account that appart from the DPI, one is HD (720p) and the other is Full-HD (1080p), there is a difference between them. You will notice it while browsing a website and zooming to read, it will be much sharp in the XZ.
If you are going to read e-book you will find it more easier in a bigger screen, 5" vs 4.5" is quite a difference in screen size.
At the end of the day is a matter of preference, Android vs WP8. Right now I think Android is a better OS in terms of app and support. Also XZ has the technological advantage compared to the L920. For the price of both I would go for the XZ, personally. As someone said before, XZ is more future-proof, a Dual core and 720p is getting obsolete and 1gb ram is quite low imho. If you are not convinced with the XZ, there are other options: Samsung, HTC, LG.
The best thing to do is go to a shop and hold both at the same time, try most of the features and go for the one your guts tells you.

After settling for 5 inch phone, I would never go for anything below it. I have seen the Optimus g is person . It's quite nice. If I'm not wrong the specs of Optimus g and xperia z is almost the same s4 pro quad core with 2 gb ram. Except it's not full hd like the xz and at a lower ppi 318 vs xz's 441. And no ip55/57 rating. The screen looks nice but I haven't tried reading on it. I just watch a video playback.

It's much more solid built and I believe strongly in Sony , not to be the fanboy but ask around and everyone will tell you that LG will never be competion to Sony unless you want to spend less !!!
Please post any speculations about the S5 specs.

Since you can't do simple arithmetic, I see why this might hurt your brain cells.
1 cores, 2 cores, 4 cores, 8 cores ....
Applying simple geometric sequence equation a*r^(n-1), where a is the first term, r is the common ratio.
Since a = 1, r = 2, therefore the number of cores in the nth generation phone is 1*2^(n-1) = 2^(n-1)
number of cores in S5 will be
= 2^(5-1) = 16 cores
number of cores in S10 will be
= 2^(10-1) = 512 cores
Did your brain explode?
Welcome to XDA 2013, where 13 y'old trolls hang around :3
One of the main reasons I don't even bother developing and sharing my work here.
PS: Facepalm at doubling the cores - I owe you 100$ if the S5 comes with 16 CPU cores.
Not trolling ... why would someone create a thread about next year's product ? We all know this thread is going to get closed ..

hi guys
i have LG optimus P920 3D
i want to buy LG 4X P880
i want your advice guys is that a good phone???
can it run heavy games ??? because with antutu benchmark v.2.9.2 gpu scores 1500 and my phone scores 1400 with the same version of antutu
(screenshots in the attachments)
so ULP geforce = powerVR SGX540 ??? or faster???
does it lag or freeze if i run many things like playing a heavy game while running music??
i saw a post here someone complain of low RAM ?? is that true??
so please people kindly post your opinions about that phone ( good things ,bad things or any opinion)
is that a good choice or you recommend me another phone??
thank you in advance

Im not heavy gamer, but
From my experience this phone has bad performance on heavy tasks - because CPU can become VERY hot and on stock rom and kernel there is ridiculous cpu temperature threshold.
Of course you can install some custom roms and kernels - which makes things little bit better.
Sry, but every people that say 1 GB of Ram is small is a idiot.
I have the phone with CM 10.1 and currently Kholk kernel.
Its very smooth,battery saved and the tunned screen colors kills me <3
I have played NOVA 3 and on this kernel its hasnt got lag.
When you buy this phone. (And would like have warranty and a smooth phone then)
1.Root it
2.Delete all Bloatware
When you like flash a stock ROM like (Zaiben)
When for you warranty its not important then.
1.Unlock the Bootloader
2. root it
3.Flash CWM
4. Flash CM 10.1
5. flash a custom kernel the you like.
And you will have a super smooth phone ( Thousand times better than S3)
LG 4X HD - Better than a Smartphone
Buy it, its a great phone for the money, handles all games and that kind of **** good. Personally i stay with stock lg firmware, like it more than cm.

For what i think , its a really good phone rated at a affordable price. You get all the extras a top android phone needs + expendable storage and removable battery ,which Nexus 4 doesnt have. I upgraded from an EVO 3D and i dont regret it. Its a good choice ,buy it.
thank you all for your opinions
i actually like LG nexus 4....adreno 320 gpu....2 gb ram ....latest "up to date" android version.... IPS+ screen
the only thing i hate most about Nexus 4 is the back.home and menu buttons within the screen which make the screen smaller than 4.7 AND the non-removable battery because i am a heavy mobile gamer i like to have a spare battery i don't care about card slot i don't need more than 16 gb storage
BUT 4X HD has wider screen and removable battery .... and the Tegra3 effects in games are really amazing
Antutu benchmark : LG Nexus 4.... 18096
LG 4X HD .....14297
i am really confused

I am too deciding between nexus 4 and 4x hd.
In my country I can find 4x hd for 240 eur. Nexus 4 16gb is 320eur so I don't know does nexus 4 really worth 80 eur more.
The benchmark are not really representative! And many people get more than 15000 with Antutu
The N4 has last Google updates but now that we have the official CyanogenMod support we'll have Android 4.3 and also probably 5.0 Key Lime Pie.
We do not have as many roms and kernel as the N4 but we have the better one and great kernels. and you won't get lost with hundreds roms in the O4X forums
I'm using Jellybeer + Iodak v006 and my phone is absolutely smooth, I can play all games I want without any lags and i do not have that persistant navbar under the screen. :thumbup:
Also I think that the O4X is much more beautiful than the N4 but that's a personal opinion.

Oh and just a thing I forgot, the O4X has the best screen I ever seen. One of my friend has got the Xperia Z and he admitted that my screen was better.
Watching films and playing beautiful games is amazing on this phone

If you live in any of the 8 countries where there is google play store, then the nexus 4 would be pretty cheap, but for its lack of a microSD card and no removable battery, expect a maximum life of 2 years because of the battery. Not having a microSD also has the problem of that you cant store any data, dunno if it is possible post android 4.0 to port apps to the sdcard(Damn you google).
My advice, wait for the S4 to lose in price or wait for the optimus G2. Lg products have a tendency to lose value pretty fast if you are willing to wait for more than 6 months.
If not, and money is the issue, get this phone. I dont know about gaming, but the screen is good and you can root it to remove bloatware.
Get an S3 if you want an AMOLED screen.
I'd recommend it to anyone who asks on xda-developers. The phone is great, but the LG stock software could have issues with battery draining, laggy (maybe more maybe less).
You are asking on xda-developers, so you are likely open to tweak your phone (ROM/Kernel) and most of the issues have been corrected by the community.
So yes, i'd buy it again. Display, Design, Speed are the main pros, battery is also ok - 3 hours screen on time should be obtainable so it's 1d normal use.
thank you all for your answers

but i will wait to collect more money so i am gonna wait some time and work much to get Nexus 4 ASAP

what about Samsung Galaxy S 3
LG Nexus 4 better or Galaxy S 3 ???
both the same money in my country
S3 all the way... the quality of Sammy support is beyond perfect. Im sure you wont regret buying it, it will also become clear for you from taking a look at the approperiate forums here or elsewhere to see how the dev community are treating it too.. Absolutely not like the 4X HD - has much smaller amount of devs which are developing software/mods for it.

I have the GS3, before it I had the 4XHD and I can say that GS3 is better, a thousand times better (camera, performance, design, battery, a lot of ROMS for it....)

Let me remind you that you are on the O4X forum, if you want to talk about two other devices go on their forum!

Sudden death, oh my troubles were far away when it was yesterday.
Suuudden death oh suudden death.
How far can somebody go and exaggerate that the S3 is 1000 better. If it was 1000 times better, it would not have a restarting bug, SDS, non-Standard MHL port and pentile OLED.
Its a "Should I buy it " thread, not "OMG this is the best thing since sliced bread thread"

Go ask that in the General Discussion, not in the LG 4X subforum. The last thing I want to read about is somebody writing about the Nexus or the S3 in a LG sub forum.
I hate these Nexus-Samsung fanboys more than apple fanboys.
I have an xperia play and I love it but poor performance I have a few questions that if You guys answer me I'll be very happy cause I want to trade this phone for an 2x . So :
-Do games have 50+ fps in ICS ? (cause I have about 20-25-30 with xperia play )
-Any OC ability(cpu/gpu) ? And does it improve performance by lots?
-Is 512mb ram a big bottleneck ? Or does tegra2 do good anyway?
-Some links to good roms ? It's interesting to see features before getting the phone.
-How much free ram on ICS ?
-And finally what's the biggest antutu benchmark you guys got ?

Lol I was using a 2x previously and now I have changed to xperia play to play emu games.
1. Yes for games with low requirements(e.g. Tample Run 2) For latest big games they only have 20~30 fps on ICS. I am not sure which game you are talking about
2. 512mb is rlly a bottleneck for ICS. Although I only have solely Firefox running, if I open 3 tabs, 2x will be laggy. However, it can handle multiple apps with low ram requirement. 2x has the strongest tegra2. T2 is good in gpu but weak in video format support at its times.
3. Just give u the Rom list link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2042267. I am from China and I had been using the roms from angeeks forum and thus I am not familiar with the XDA roms.
4.depend on roms. I was using this thin ICS rom (http://bbs.angeeks.com/thread-2687721-1-1.html)modified by a Chinese. Free ram is ard 90MB after starting up
5. my highest is 7035 when locked @ 1Ghz

Welcome. That's great! However, 4x's tegra3 is weak in gpu and may not be a good choice for gaming. You are keen in LG phones?

I'm not actually , but I'm pretty new in android , 5 months ago I had nokia n95 ) , then alcatel v860->i9000->xperia play now . I want to get something that will be very good in gaming (i like games very much heh) . But I don't have a large budget for phone I may be 150-200 euros for xperia play if i get someone to buy it , and may be put in some 50 euros at best . so 200-250 euros is my budget. I buy only second-hand phones cause it's better than buying new with this kind of money. You have any recomendations ? Also are there in that forum any good roms for xperia play ? It loads veeery slow for me (I'm in bucharest) and poor translations .

If you are not a core android fans and not keen in getting a gaming phone, I would recommand touch 5+another phone. Touch 5 has great spec and ios has great compatibility for apps.(Even the "oblique" touch4 can run most games and apps today though a lot are laggy due to only 256 mbram...) It can outweigh all android phones in almost all games in similar price range.
Maybe you can also consider Nvidia Shield(299 US Dollars) in near future, it might be a fantastic gaming gadget.
For xperia play, I am using AuroraPlay(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2124442&nocache=1)

How come adreno 205 is better than our gpu?tegra 2 is of the same generation of adreno 220 and it is just a little weaker if i remember correctly.Anyway,if adreno 205 gpu was better,how could you possibly have less fps?
