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...
Getting the Samsung Galaxy S4 soon and I have a few questions?
Q. I am planning of getting this cellphone next month with Sprint and I am kinda horrible with technology so I need your guys' help. I really want this cellphone since I recently purchased the Samsung galaxy note 10.1 tablet and I know that it would be compatible with it. Anyways, I just want to know some fun facts about this cellphone and comparison to the iPhone 5 since my parents are trying to convince me to get it. I really like my Samsung Galaxy tablet (how it works) and I dislike the fact that parents think Apple products are better just a lot people we know have them. Thanks.
A. Samsung Galaxy S4 is a whole LOT better than the iPhone 5, for various reasons/facts I can help you with..
1) The Samsung has a larger screen (5.0") - the iPhone is 4.0"
2) The Samsung can have exactly the same amount of internal storage as the iPhone 5: 16 or 32 or 64GB storage
3) The Samsung has 2GB RAM (iphone has 1GB RAM), so is actually much faster than the iPhone 5.
4) The Samsung has a processor of 1.6GHz (iPhone has 1.3GHz), which also makes it even MORE faster than the iPhone 5.
So whilst the iPhone has a dual-core processor, the Samsung has a QUAD-core processor!
5) The Samsung has a much, MUCH better camera: a 13MP camera, whilst the iPhone 5 has an 8MP camera.
6) Both have a front-facing camera, though the Samsung's one is much better: 2.0MP, whilst the iPhone's is 1.2MP.
7) The Samsung is on the Android 4.2 OS which is much more sleeker, beautiful and advanced than the current iOS that the iPhone 5 is on.
Android 4.2 is an OS that not so as many Android phones are even available on, to tell you how new and ahead the Samsung Galaxy S4 is.
8) Samsung, being on Android, opens you to thousands/millions of apps that you can download for free (or download paid-for apps for free, through the internet), whilst Apple will try to make you pay for almost every app!
All in all, the iPhone is NOT better than the high-end Samsung phones, and this is a very clear fact you can see by comparing their specs, and even just googling Android-vs-Apple, or so.
Hope I've helped!

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)
