Quad Core Smartphones Of 2012: Can An Extra Core Make These Phones Better?

Like us on Facebook

And if all goes according to plans, the company will also launch processors with added cores. The first one is codenamed Wayne, which promises to finish a task up to 10 times faster than Tegra 2. Logan that will come after Wayne will clock speeds 50 times faster than any dual core phones.

Now, in your quad core smartphone each core works less harder to accomplish a task, and therefore requires less battery power.

Additionally, a quad-core processor is expected to support sharp screen resolutions, load apps, photos and Web pages faster and process HD video much quicker.

The Latest Top Quad Core Smartphones

As we mentioned earlier, this will be the year of quad-core processors.

The MWC event was also dominated by the release of all devices powered by quad core processors.

While the debate on the functional improvement of quad core processor is gaining traction of late, we shall wait a little longer to review the upcoming quad-core smartphones. Meanwhile, check out the phones that we think will rule this year’s quad core market.

Note, the list is randomly done and not on the basis of best functionality and features and the phones run from real to rumored ones.

HTC One X - The Taiwan-based company has launched its premium HTC One series at this year’s MWC. The best in this line, HTC One X, has unanimously been selected as the number one smartphone. The phone will feature a polycarbonate unibody shell with a 4.7-inch Gorilla Glass 720p screen, UI HTC SENSE 4.0, a 1.5 GHz quad-core processor and a 12-core NVIDIA graphics processor (the ATT’s LTE version will come with a Qualcomm S4 processor). This monster will run the latest Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0).  The HTC phone will also be available in a 4G LTE model.

HTC claims to have packed in top-notch specs and a fabulous new User Interface to give a lot of punch, and we can’t help but accept it. The phone is expected to hit shelves very soon.

Huawei Ascend D Quad - Huawei has also unveiled a quad core phone line at this year’s MWC. The line comprises three great phones such as Ascend D Quad XL, Ascend D1 and Ascend D Quad. We have picked our favorite, the new Ascend D Quad that comes with a big 4.5-inch 720p HD display and Huawei’s own K3V2 quad-core CPU, clocked at 1.5GHz. According to the company, this phone is the world’s fastest smartphone.

This Android 4.0 beast features an 8-megapixel rear camera, Dolby 5.1 surround sound, supports LTE and an 1,800mAh battery that claims to be backed by a proprietary energy management software that will last for up to two days.

LG Optimus 4X HD - LG, the producer of quality ware, has never quite made an impression in the smartphone market. But this time it’s back with élan. At the MWC, the Korean electronics company has unveiled LG 4X HD, its first quad-core phone.

The latest LG phone comes with a 1280X720 HD resolution IPS display, a very capable battery of 2150 mAh capacity to support the monster quad core processor and HD display. 

The phone is slated for release in June.

Samsung Galaxy S3 - If rumors are to be believed, this Samsung flagship phone will be the next big thing in this year’s smartphone arena. The phone will continue the legacy of Galaxy S2 and will surpass it with the 4.6-inch Super AMOLED Plus full HD screen with 1,280×720-pixel resolution. It might also come with a bigger screen than the Galaxy Nexus along with edge-to-edge display and a much larger chassis. According to a BGR report, Samsung might launch S3 as its first phone with a 3D screen and the phone will sport a peculiar S-shaped bend in the 4.6-inch screen.

The phone is expected to feature Samsung’s quad-core ARM A9-based Exynos 4212 chipset, clocked at a powerful 1.8GHz with 2GB RAM. In another claim made by BGR, a more modest 1.5GHz quad-core has been indicated in the S3.

Meanwhile, Samsung is also rumored to give hefty speed boosts on graphics and pack in some battery-friendly power-saving features with its latest device. There isn’t much room for anticipation as Samsung will certainly pack Android Ice Cream Sandwich OS with its device.  And the S3 is also expected to receive the latest TouchWiz UI version 5.0.

But as we always say, read all these features with a pinch of salt!

iPhone 5 - There’s a strong assumption that the next Apple iPhone will also boast a strong quad core processor.

The other features of this much-awaited iPhone include a Retina display that comes in a screen size of anything between 3.5-inch to 4.6-inch. This time the phone can be 4G LTE enabled and can introduce path-breaking features like killer 3D imaging camera, universal remote control and iWallet along with features like Corning Gorilla Glass 2, Waterproof Nanotech Coating, Quad-Core Processor, Updated iOS with Siri 2 and Wireless Charging.

iPhone 5: Possible Features & Specification

1. iPhone 5 Form Factor Could Be Bigger Than iPhone 4S?
Unlike iPhone 4, we’ve not had any testing prototype leaked out accidentally. This means all we have is speculation built upon speculation. Still, there are certain clues – like the 4-inch iPhone 5 screen – which could give a bit of a hint as to the form factor. We’re expecting a normal, iPhone 4S kind of a form-factor. All those rumors about a curved-glass display are out the window. In a lawsuit between Apple and Samsung, Apple suggested Samsung to go for curved-glass form-factors – which kind of proves that Apple isn’t taking that up for its iPhone 5.
Of course, we could expect the iPhone 5 to grow a bit bigger than the palm-friendly iPhone 4S or iPhone 4. There has been a constant need raised by iPhone users as to the screen size – and this 4-inch thing could probably be the answer to the need. But then, as we had posted earlies, the iPhone 5 could only have the display screen larger – not the whole body. That would make UI bigger, but the palm-friendliness remain unaltered.
2. iPhone 5 Could Come With a Greater Resolution
Another rumor that’s been doing the rounds recently is the resolution on the iPhone 5. Of all the iPhone 5 specs we heard, this was very impressive enough because so far, we thought the Retina Display was the state-of-the-art resolution one could ask for! Perhaps, with an increase in the UI size, the resolution could get stronger and users could expect a more brilliant video-watching experience. For the moment though, there’s not much cooking on this issue.
3. iPhone 5 Could Have A Quad-Core Processor
This would mark the beginning of a new CPU-arms race in the market. A dual-core processor for a smartphone has become a common thing these days. One of the chief competitions between Samsung smartphones running Android and Apple smartphones running iOS is the processor each boasts of. The A5 has outdone most Android-supporting processors that other companies have come up with, but according to certain rumors, Apple could be one-upping the race with an all-new, better-than-A6, quad-core processor!
Users have often complained that iPhone 4S is sometimes lagging in speed, and as a fix to this issue, Apple could be trying for the quad-core processor on its next-gen iPhone.
4. iPhone 5 Could Have 4G / LTE Capability?
We wrote on this sometime back. Will the iPhone 5 have 4G capability? Most likely, because Samsung got its Infuse 4G launched already!
In the network race, it would only be logical if Apple got an iPhone 5 specs sheet that had 4G support. As to LTE, that’s doubtful. But bringing out an LTE iPhone 5 would be a great boon for buyers.
Update (23-March-2012): Latest report from Apple Insider report cites research note obtained from Barclays, it is said that Apple is looking at a Qualcomm MDM9615 chip for the LTE support in the smartphone. Read more.
5. More Gesture-based – No Home Button
Oops! No home button? Well, yeah, quite possibily. Apple has moved to improved gesture based controls through its iOS 5. So it is quite possible that the home screen might be dropped for enhanced gesture-controls – one large interface change in iPhone 5 specifications.
6. iPhone 5 Features – Storage Capacity, Battery Problems and OS
This one is an actual bummer. With iPhone 4S, we heard the 64GB getting the face-lift. It was being marketed well on par with the 32GB and 16GB. So having an iPhone also means having a smartphone with huge memory capacity. The iPhone 5 specifications might very well include 64GB versions too – considering the sales reports of the iPhone 4S 64GB version – but going beyond that would probably not be a reality for now.
The iPhone 4S still has battery issues and even with the updates on the iOS, there’s no reprieve out of that. It would be natural for the engineers to work on the battery issue fix – and it would only be logical for them to get an iPhone 5 which is not ridden with battery issues.
7. Fire-proof iPhone
Stunned with this iPhone 5 feature?? Well, why not to be… New iPhone 5 is likely to be the fire-proof and the company has organized a patent app for highly developed material which is halogen-free flame retardant. It could be incorporated in the iPhone 5 specifications to build this new iPhone 5 and other Apple products.
8. Wireless Charging
Well… this iPhone 5 specification would give you another break! But you never know the wireless charging is really creating a mass appeal. It could be possible with the inductive wireless charging technology. If you could juice up the battery of iPhone 5 then this will be a big hit. So until iPhone 5 release date comes and the Apple release new smart phone with super cool iPhone 5 features, imagine charging this smartphone without cable.
9. More Speed
4G technology, the latest standard in network technology will help to build up the network fourth generation that will give you more speed…more fun on the fly with outstanding iPhone 5 specs!
10. NFC Payment
According to the reports, this NFC (Near Field Communication) technology is under testing and if it comes, then user will be able to make countless payment through scanner. However, according to the ibtimes, the analysts at Jefferies are expecting that this NFC technology will be revealed in the iPhone 5S (probably next version of iPhone 5). Such iPhone 5 features will definitely create waves in the market.
11. iPhone 5 and Nano-SIM?
Way back, sometime before the rumors began spreading like wildfire, there was this strange but thoughtful remark about iPhone 5 supporting Nano-SIMs to make the design compact – or keep it unaltered (from iPhone 4S) despite a size-increase in the display.
A Nano-SIM would actually be a thing of the past even in 2012, considering the developments and supporting devices that we’ve got so far. Still, there’s no saying what Apple is up to!
The iPhone 5 Release Date Speculations
iPhone 5 is in development, quite obviously, considering the references in iOS 5.1 Beta code. There are no leaks or confirmed sources from manufacturers as yet – which could help us fix a possible date of release. But, we can make a safe guess with a late-2012 release (much like iPhone 4S which got a late 2011 release). Of course, this would depend on Apple’s iPad 3 plans too. Is Apple eying for a simultaneous release of iPad 3 and iPhone 5?
As regards the iPhone 5 price, it wouldn’t be surprising if the cost was considerably larger than that of iPhone 4S. Considering the economics of smartphones, the trend is upward as of now!

Chinese Teen Sells Kidney for iPad, iPhone; 5 Charged

As the U.S. awaits word on whether neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman will face charges in the death of black teenager Trayvon Martin, 20th Century Fox is scrambling to figure out how to distance a new comedy called Neighborhood Watch from the Florida tragedy. The film, starring Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughan, Jonah Hill, and Richard Ayaode, is slated for a July release, and features the four men as part of a neighborhood watch team in an American suburb. While Neighborhood Watch is actually about the four of them battling an alien invasion, a teaser trailer for the film showed them cruising around town in a van listening to Dr. Dre and making mock gun signs with their fingers. Fox has since clarified scenes from the trailer, saying that that don’t appear in the movie and that the film bears not relation to the “tragic events in Florida.” Likewise, early promotional material for the film featured a bullet-ridden neighborhood watch sign has also been largely pulled while Fox has now focussed its marketing efforts on the film’s alien plot. It’ll be worth noting whether Fox changes the name of the film to something a little less evocative of Martin’s death, although with $50 million already poured into the production, and millions more to be spent on publicity, it might already be too late. But with a screenplay from Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, and Lonely Island member (and SNL staff writer) Akiva Schaffer directing, it’d be a shame to see Fox attempt to bury what could very well be one of the better comedies of the summer season.
