Q. Is there any point buying a dual core smartphone now the future of smartphones seems set on quad-core technology? Are smartphones like Samsung's Galaxy note , HTC's Sensation XL and Nokia's Lumia 800 and 900 , phones that are seeming dead at birth?
A. Depends on how you look at it really...
Dual-core smartphones will still be around because of the constantly increasing costs of new mobile technology - there are those that still struggle to afford single-core...
Personally, I wouldn't put too much hope in quad-core phones too soon as the heat issue, not to mention battery consumption, is always going to be higher due to the cooling/size ratio.
I've still got my single-core Galaxy S, and to be honest, it does what I need it to; I play games (both native, and PSx emulated), I code on it, use it as a reference when writing music, read books, watch movies, and sometimes ... I actually make calls on it!
Simply put, it you want a phone, buy one that suits your needs. If you're buying one for the status, or to keep up with technology, then you're doing it wrong...
What is the difference between the samsung galaxy note 2 and the samsung galaxy s3?
Q. I already know that the samsung galaxy note 2 has the s pen and a bigger screen.
A. the note 2 (in the US) also has a quad-core processor vs the S III's dual-core
and better battery life
the international versions both had quad-core processors, but wasn't quite as fast (note 2 was 1600mhz, vs the S III's 1400mhz)
For those who have owned the samsung galaxy s3 for a long time, has the phone slowed down on you?
Q. I might get the Samsung galaxy s3 very soon. I wanted to get the opinions from people who have owned the GS3 for a long time now. Has it slowed down in any way? How's the battery life?
Any other answers would be greatly appreciated.
A. Hi from Italy ! I have and use SIII and Note for my heavy blogger activity and I'm very satisfied.
Slowed sometimes? No, I have it from a pair of mount and quad-core exynos at 1.3 GHz never give me problems (are Exynos at 1 GHz in Tab II 7 and Tab II 10.1 that sucks and are slowly).
My version is Vodafone branded (european vector company) and with branded app I have not found problems.
Fantastic 8mp camera, beautiful line, i give you a suggestion about accessories: no book cover because is "stupid": has no sense for a smartphone like this. Better a case that protect and is open in the back like Noreve products.
Battery life: with H+ yes it use energy: all day with BT on and data on for work in car, calls, ecc. in the evening it is 20-23% but with a normal use it can arrive at 1/1.5 days.
From last week Samsung has ufficialized a battery with a capacity of 3.000 mAh that are more than box battery for 30-35$ and it can high more battery life if you need.
Colors and memory size depends of your necessity: 16-32 or 64 gb and blue, white, black, red, ..
