don't mind waiting for the quad cores, but when will one be released on verizon? seems like verizon lags behind others in pushing out top tier phones. currently, the tbolt is the top draw and it's only single core. i'd rather keep my droid inc for now.

Hello,
I'd like to buy a smartphone, a powerful one.
And I found these 2.
Which one is better ? Why ?

Neither, both are really good and quick. Both have Fast dual cores, and large screens too, Evo has qHD so things will look better on the screen. Personally I would take the Evo instead, since I like HTC more and I prefer the ability to use Sense...If you take the LG, you can't install Sense, which I feel looks much better and it has many widgets that I prefer to use. Plus it has the best social integration compared to stock, and other phone ui's.

There is a CDMA model for the US and a GSM model for everywhere else (that also works in the US).
Go for the g2x
have you considered the HTC Sensation?
Bow that I think about it, you xiuls wait for ice cream sandwich, the companies have new phones to announce anyway that will have 2nd gen dual cores, if you're interested.

ICS will be Android 4.0, it will unite Tabs and phones, to help fragmentation, it's google's next iteration of the OS. I said you should wait since it will be out soon, and so will 2nd Gen Dual-Cores and phones with 720P Res, and large screens with very tiny bezels, due to the removal of hardware buttons. Sammy has phones coming this year in the next few months with 4.5+ screens, imagine what other companies could have too.
Ohh i see !
Like the Galaxy S II ?
i have the g2x and it is a really good phone now.. i also would at this time wait if you can for ice cream sandwich to come out and or wait and see the new samsung note phone or sgs2 phone as i think they will be better. however i really do love my phone now. since they released the 2.3.3 update
Okay, I'll wait =) !

The Nexus S 4G (which wasn't really different), so I did do a bit of keyboard-in-mouth, for a minute there I did forget the Nexus S came out on T-Mobile first. Tired.
I came from the Nexus One, bought the G2x off-contract, specically to be able to pick up the Nexus Prime at a discount.
I just hope the nexus prime won't disappoint. Rumors on specs are mixed. The qualcomm chips in the Tmo SG2 and Amaze are meh. Also 5mp camera is meh.... other specs say it'll have the Exynos chipset and 8mp cam. Some say Verizon will get it first others say T-Mobile. Verizon has the Droid Prime with similar specs already and aren't ones to keep it clean with Android.
Either way, if the specs are worthwhile over the G2x, I'll grab it.
Best solution for me personally would be Verizon with sweet specs as my old work blackberry needs upgraded and I set up our new exchange to work properly so my company is allowing Android sets now... meaning I can kill my $70 personal T-Mobile line, sell my G2x and profit.
LG G2x - 2.3.5 MIUI
Asus Transformer - 3.2 Revolver
I honestly don't think it's that much of an upgrade of our G2x's. Our phone is still up to par with alot of the phones out there now.. Once we get ICS on this thing, we should be fine.
Will it work on at&t?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Yeah. I think it'll get more development support and the devs won't have to worry about nvidia giving up the source codes.

The Prime looks nice but I plan on holding onto my G2x until the phone hits at least the one year mark if not more to see what's coming next spring and summer. Quad core phones anyone?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
I know everyone wants the latest and greatest, but sometimes it's a bit overkill. Unless you have a good job with 500+ bucks to throw I don't see why we should be running to get the Prime when you already have a Tegra 2 Dual core device. Nothing can even tough this device yet.
It'd be hard for me to dump my dual core device for another dual core. At this point might as well wait for whatever the next gen quads come out next year. And once that happens, I don't even know what we'd do with a quad core lol.
Well... We'd buy more batteries, of course.

Lol, I seriously think they should just take a break on the progression of processors, screens, GPU's, etc. and use that time and man power in advancing the technology of battery's... That's literally the only Achilles heel that even the best smartphone's have these days.
At this point, I'd rather have the creation of a 5,000 mAH battery with out changing it's size than a quad core processor.

Agreed ten fold. I'm waiting til the Nexus Double Prime before I plan to upgrade. This phone is doing just fine, and has a very nice set of developers working on it for us.
If they did make quad core phones, I bet the battery life would be at least 20% worse than now. When I'm not even getting super amazing battery life to begin with, it might be a problem.

Yeah, main difference between the two will be updates. Something the G2X will probably never officially see. After the half ass 2.3 update we got I'm pretty much over it.
....
I really don't see the point of quad core phones; unless Google does something unbelievable with Jelly Bean that needs an insane amount of processing, nothing a smartphone does needs that much. Hell, dual core isn't even that necessary unless you run a lot of 3D stuff.
There is such a thing as overkill people. I'd like to see phone manufactorers declare the smartphone as it exists now finished and start working on some new innovations that would make better hardware necessary. 3D screen ala Nintendo 3DS with FFC capable of eye-tracking to orient the 3D so you see it at any angle?
While I agree that the G2x can hold its own, I do miss owning a nexus device. My friend still has his Nexus One and running official software we can only get via custom roms.
My reasoning to grabbing the Nexus Prime IF if launches on Verizon is so my work can pay for it. Unfortunately I heard Verizon is launching the Galaxy Prime.... which is similar but not the nexus prime backed by Google.
Well just have to wait until Tuesday. All the rumors running around its hard to make any reasonable decision.
If Verizon gets gimped on Google support then I'll keep my G2x for a long while.
G2x - Latest MIUI w Faux Kernel
Transformer - Latest Revolver w OC/UV Kernel

Agreed. My work is on sprint and I am waiting to see if it launches on sprint. If it does, I'll pick it up. If not, either sii or stay on g2x. It looks to me that the prime is going to launch on everyone but sprint.

I think quad-cores are too much. No apps will use four cores, only games, and they too will be few. No thanks, i'll get my Motorola Razr .

Battery life will absolutely blow, but that's the trade off for more power *Tim Allen Grunt*

Thanks to the Tegra3, batterylife WONT blow as much as you think
nice looking phone indeed, with the metal in the back ...
since im used to my big HTC Evo3D screen, i whouldnt mind to have a lil bigger one... with HD quality im sure it whould be pretty amazing... .
btw, heres a pic/link how the Tegra3 quadcore will work
source:
http://pocketnow.com/smartphone-news/nvidia-kal-el-chips-have-fifth-low-power-companion-core
http://www.droid-life.com/2011/09/20/nvidia-releases-two-white-papers-about-project-kal-el-secret-5th-core-revealed/
tldr: Tegra3 quadcores wont have 4 cores-> they will have 5
the 5th is a "powersave" core who will run for the small things (standby etc)
Other benefits would be faster pageload times in browsers, quick multi-tasking, better performance while using processor-heavy apps, and most importantly, overall lower power consumption without a drop in performance.
The second paper details an-almost secret “5th core” called the companion core, that allows your device to use much less power while in standby or using background tasks such as music, Facebook updates, and email syncing. With this companion core, the main quad-core is essentially able to shut down completely, allowing your device to last much longer.

tegra announced that this Quadcore, will use almost like the same energy like the current DualCores from OMAP4 oder Qualcomm MSM8660)
well untill now-> theres nothing who needs those HorsePOWER.
but look 1-2 years back in terms of mobile gaming...
if you compair to what we have now
(like Shadowgun for Android
or InfinityBlade 2 for Iphone4s
makes me think: WTF will come in the next 2 yrs?
and thats why i think that the HTC Edge will be awesome :3

I'm on the verge of buying SGS2 and now I'm on a dilemma! Should I wait for this or buy a dual core phone now
And one thing, I think "future-proof" phones doesn't exist anymore.
Poor HTC....Their phones need Quadcores just to run stock Sense smoothly, we'll be in for it when Sense 4 is released, it will need more than 1GB RAM. And no I'm not joking, HTC thinks adding cores fixes the lag in Sense, but they need to learn optimization, and bloated doesn't cut it.

That actually makes sense. Glad to see NVIDIA do some research with graphics vs battery life especially considering that their optimus GPU works wonders. I was thinking with four cores active at once, battery life will be complete crap. Still wouldn't do console level gaming on a smartphone because onscreen controls suck so much. A tablet, maybe.

Hey Fellow Infuser's....
So are you guys thinking about going S3? I am sort of on the fence about it as I am due for an upgrade, but the S3 is launching with a 2 core LTE.
I am thinking they might due the old switcheroo with like the S2 and the Skyrocket bs.....
Would you guys wait for a quad LTE, as the Tegra 3 is has already been through ATT's test?
What do you guys think? Thanks!
NOTE....!
i will get a unbranded unlocked international version
Would love to, if I were due for an upgrade.
I've been thinking of getting the international version that has quad core...but idk, that would mean I would have to sell my infuse...which I really don't want to-i love my infuse lol...but the geeky tech side of me wants the latest and greatest even if the hardware can't be fully utilized lol
Anyways...the duo core coming for att is supposed to have 2gb of ram I believe, where the quad core only has 1gb...
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA
Why the international version? It has no LTE.... HSPA+ is slow enough on my Infuse.
By the way, Samsung already released the source code for the SGS3, so I mean AOSP is going to be on the US carrier phones pretty soon.
All of the phones coming to the US is 2GB's of RAM.
Infuse is a pretty good phone, but I like the new design with more rounded edges and the blue looks pretty hot....
Quad core with LTE is what I am thinking of waiting for but I wonder how far that is along?

Hey, Dan.
Long time no see...Hope you're doing good.
hey infuse family !,
yah ya know, just thinkin' since that GSIII will only be sporting duals, id halfta deffinetly go with G-NOTE. If possible, i would overclock her duals to 2.0 ! (im guessing this may only be in my dreams), but if not maybe rock her out to 1.7, 1.9? really get in der and joust her jowls !! And then get that newer hacked/modified S-pen app ive been seein floatin round!! anyone see it? its like a crazy lil' miniature photoshop on the go! and oolala is that stylus like a samurai sword, so precise !! and um, yah !, that good dense pixel-populated screen is soo beautiful and crisp and fine, and the best part of it all is her size ! she's like a gargantuan plus-sized sexy momma, and i cant get enough, i even wish she was bigger cmon samsung give me a full figured 6 incher !! lol !!!
cheers brothers!
While we are on the subject which one the note or the gs3 and reasons why? From what I can tell the at&t versions will be pretty much the same specs but the notes bigger and bigger battery.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium
Same specs as note... not true. The s3 has 2gb ram and the s4 which annihilates the s3 (note) and does better in tests then the tegra 3. Idk about the new exynos, but id be happy with the gs3 over the note sadly. Note 2 is going to be the best no doubt.
Btw here is att page on the gs3, click on learn more and there you have the major specs for you http://www.att.com/galaxysiii/?wtSlotClick=1-007JMY!903919-1-1&rel=nofollow#fbid=42LHi-vzBIX
