That's quite a punch your phone is packing...
Sometimes it’s hard to believe that the smartphone industry has come far enough that 1GHz CPUs are the status quo. There’s even a few dual-core options out there, and with rumors that the new iPhone will pack Apple’s own dual-core A5 chip, dual-core cell phones are likely to become more popular. Yes, smartphones are becoming ridiculously powerful.
Still, Samsung, which will soon release a 1.2GHz dual-core version of its Galaxy S smartphone, is not resting on its laurels. The company this week promised we’d see a 2GHz Samsung smartphone by next year. Mashable cites a “high ranking Samsung official” who confirmed plans for a 2GHz mobile phone CPU during a conversation with the Maeli Business Newspaper.
"We are planning to release a 2GHz dual core CPU-equipped smartphone by next year. This product will have the data processing capacities of a regular PC," the official said.
However, those panicking that they’ll have to go Samsung if they want the fasted phone out there need not worry. Samsung is said to be considering selling the chips separately to third party manufacturers.
Samsung's 1.2GHz Galaxy S2 is set for a May launch in the United Kingdom. It will use Samsung's own dual-core Exynos CPU. The North American release for this device has yet to be announced.
The problem is that tech nerds love megapixels, mhz, bluetooth 3.0, WifiSuperDuper and other buzzwords. They think that you are more intelligent for buying a 1.2ghz Samsung instead of an 1ghz Iphone. They belive that people are stupid because they don't love the 200 extra mhz.
Most techies does not understand that the hardware is irrelevant, it is the software that is important. Elegant software solutions like Ios multitasking. It is not fun to have a new Andoid phone with widgets and other stuff that 3 hours batterie time. Have to buy battery saving apps to get the battery time up to 12 hours. Turn of the stupid widgets that brightens the home screen 24/7.
This is the reason why I love my original Ipad. 11 hours of battery if I use it all the time. Over 5 days if I listen to ACC/MP3. 30 days standby. I want my phone to have the same capabilities.
Here is your answer(click spoiler):
I could also say the same thing about your post above
You have no idea what you are talking about. A reason more why I stuff especially desktops, do not have powerful components inside. Thrust me that someone that knows what he wants and he has the money, he will get the thing that suits him best at what he needs it, better software or superior performance or all of them.
Also the fact that you are comparing an i-pad to a phone makes me proud to have a phone
They do have a Galaxy S 1.5 GHz refresh coming out however.
And SII will also use Tegra 2 as well.
I thought it was 1.4Ghz.
Also reading the review on gsmarena.com when they compared SGS II with an LG model with tegra 2, the later one's platform should be superior. I hope that the prices will be the same. I will skip this generation anyway, going for the other one or the one after that, depending on how much my phone survives the daily abuse, i use it as a normal phone, drop it all day, throwing it with out any care and it still survives with flying colors, no problems at all and i even had a big crash with my bicycle and the handlebar hit the phone so hard that it made a deap-ish scratch on the back of the case near the jack input. Cases are cheap anyway
Ou, forgot to say to the first quote, there are also extended batteries for these phones so you can listen to music for 4-5 days also.
Lag in what circumstances? Or what are you doing when it lags?
