We've gotten a few peeks at Qualcomm's next-gen Snapdragon chips, codenamed Krait, but now we've got a proper roadmap, including time frames for release, model numbers, and even details about the memory channels. Glancing at the slide above doesn't reveal anything terribly surprising -- the dual-core 8960 (LTE), 8270 (HSPA), and 8260A (HSPA+) will all be shipping to manufacturers later this quarter, in speeds ranging from 1.5GHz to 1.7GHz and come packing the latest Adreno 225 GPU. In Q3 of next year Qualcomm's 28nm tech will trickle down from the high-end to mid-range phones, just ahead of the launch of those quad-core, 2GHz mobile monsters the company teased back in February. Check out the full PDF presentation at the source for more nitty-gritty details."

I know, it will be like carrying a phone the size of a laptop around. Guess they have to hope that power technology advances a lot over the next couple of years too!

ive got sammy galaxy s1 with cm7 and my battery lives 15 hrs (barely)
intresting what kind of battery they'll use @ 2GHZ phone

Old news...

Well,I always knew the day that I would use my phone to reencode videos for my laptop would come...

Woo Hoo!!! Two year contract with no upgrade fees after 18 months. Upgraded a month and a half ago. Should be up for an upgrade when they release this.
...oh yeah, I'm with Cell South, the "new phone" then will be a Galaxy S2. But hey, I'll still have unlimited data... ...hopefully.

Yeah!
Seriously though,for me,no software keyboard on a tablet can compare to the physical keyboard of my PC/Laptop.With the phones it goes otherwise.I don't like these QWERTYs with their tiny keys.

Tablet + USB/Bluetooth keyboard and mouse and who needs a laptop?

I will soon became mental and hospitalized, my budget can't keep up with all this new technology..

Road maps rarely stick and you are looking for at least a two quarter difference between when it ships and when it actually shows up in phones.
Battery life truly is a big issue though. I would think it would get to a point where they would not create these more powerful processors because of the ridiculous lack of battery technology over the years. Why would you continue to develop something battery hungry for a product that at some point would negate the effectiveness of it due to the bulk added from a larger battery.
I just got an Atrix though, and i'm wondering why it was easy for them to pack a 1750 battery in a still very thin package with a dual core processor. Same with the Infuse as it is even thinner.

Quad core is already supposed to be out later this year. Qualcomm will be far behind.
Meanwhile their overclocked @1.8 cpus are doing what a stock tegra 2 does. lol

Nvidia say that they will initially be used in tablets which will hit the shops this summer, and the first quad processor phones should be in the shops in time for Christmas. They say there new quad core chips will consume less power then current dual core chips in mobile devices.
My upgrade isn't until April 2012 can't wait to see my next phone.

hopefully the batteries will evolve along with the cpus

I like how Android phones are following the routes of computers, only much faster.
Dual Core phones are still just getting popular-ish and half of the things Android uses runs perfectly off a single core.
I'm predicting that by December of 2012, (no we're not gonna die)
Single Core phones will only remain in the real low budget area or prepaid phones.
Dual Core will be our mid range.
Quad Core will be our high range.

The sexiest Android tablet ever, the Samsung Galaxy Tab is official now – pics are out, as well as official video. And the spec sheet, is mind-blowing!
Samsung P1000 Galaxy Tab is a sleek big-sized Android phone! It’s expected to be released in this month itself. GSMArena got hands-on pics. It got 7 inch TFT capacitive touchscreen display, capable of displaying 16 million colours, with multi-touch functionality. Galaxy Tab would come with 16GB and 32GB internal storage, with 512MB RAM. It also got microSD card slot, having extra memory up to 32GB. The combination of ARM Cortex A8 1GHz processor and the well-optimized Android 2.2 (Froyo) operating system, would be somewhat appreciable.

Are there prices yet or we are still in the blue about it? I would also prefer if it came with linux (easier to run windows applications on it via wine)

As of now, it's only announced officially. Samsung didn't say anything about price or when it'll go on sale.

And guess what? Fring works "fringing awesome" on Galaxy Tab.
It wont be the iPad killer unless it gets marketed as such. I even seen music videos with the artist using iPads. I wonder how much Apple pays them to do that? "Heres a free iPad and 50 bucks to have you show it off in your music video" sheesh.
Hands on with it.http://www.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-hands-video
Shame they didn't put at least even and OLED screen on there.
Might have to get one of these badboys! Very sexy indeed.
This will fail pretty badly.
It is not because of Android, it is not because of the hardware.
But the PRICE!
http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/02/samsung-galaxy-tab-reported-to-retail-at-699-and-799-in-europe/
700 - 800 euro???
INSANE!
iPad will be better option in this price with larger screen, doubled internal memory size and better battery.
Good God, Samsung just cannot do business.

Is it that expensive? No way of it being in any way successful. The iPad is a far better choice IMHO.
lol this just pretty much killed it. Apple could sell stuff for 600+ euros and someone would probably still buy because of the brand name but Samsung, some not-so-well-known brand name comes and attempts to sell an "ipad killer". If it had great specs and a decent price, it would definitely live up to its name but this is just disappointing

Agreed. I've long been a Tablet PC owner (HP TC1100) and the iPad is an absolutely killer machine compared to all the other tablets I've ever used. Of course, it's not a Win / x86 machine, but, for my needs (Web browsing, reading / searching in books, playing back videos) it's WAY better than anything else I've ever tested. And, on top of that, it has a GREAT battery life.

Samsung Galaxy S2 Specs (2GHz)

Source: http://www.redmondpie.com/samsung-galaxy-s2-specs-will-blow-your-brains-out/
The current generation of smartphones – with their 1GHz processors and 512MB of RAM – are already very impressive at what they can do. But rumored specifications (along with a photo) are spreading of the next generation of Samsung’s Galaxy S smartphone – the Galaxy S2 – and its specs will. freaking. blow. your. head. off.

It is supposedly scheduled for release sometime in early 2011 and will supposedly have the following specifications:
-A 2GHz Processor. Possibly the next-generation version of Samsung’s Hummingbird CPU.
-1GB RAM along with 4GB of ROM. This is, as with the CPU, twice the magnitude of current-gen hardware.
-32GB built-in flash memory. MicroSD card slot expandable to 32GB making the Galaxy S2 able to hold 64GB of data.
-8 megapixel camera with full HD (1920×1080) video recording. Current-gen smartphones record video at 720p (1280×720).
-A 4.3” 1280×720 Super AMOLED display
-GPS, Bluetooth 3.0, b/g/n Wi-Fi, accelerometer, gyroscope, proximity / ambient light sensors.
-Run on Android 3.0 “Gingerbread”
While all these specifications are well and sweet, I really, honestly believe smartphone manufacturers, especially of the Android variety, should focus on increasing battery life by optimizing hardware + software instead of just blindly increasing clock speeds and doubling RAM. My HTC Desire still doesn’t last more than 15-16 hours whereas Taimur’s iPhone 4 blows past the 24 hour category without even going below 50%.
And yes, these specs are rumored. But if HTC and Motorola’s intentions of releasing 2GHz smartphones are anything to go by, they aren’t unbelievable.

What do you guys think the battery quality will be?
Hm unless Samsung has re-invented the battery for cell phones I seriously doubt this would have any type of usable battery life. I think those specs are too "wish list" to be believable.
But if they really do make that much of a leap in such a short time power to them, I just don't see anything like that happening.
Sorry, can this thread be deleted. I didn't see a Vibrant's "General" section 'till after.
Screw the 4.3" screen. Too big. 4" is perfect.
And these specs are fake.
It's just a made up rumor utilized to get people to visit their pathetic thing they call a 'website' filled with countless ads to make money out of people.
Boringggg. Don't people get bored of spreading these same exact rumors into the world every single time again?
Sounds great but those are some pretty bold rumors. That's a pocket sized computer lol
Battery life would last okay (i think) if it only uses the 2ghz when needed and when the screen is switched off bring it down to 400mhz You never know, it could last
that would be cool but i doubt that anything like that is gonna come out anytime soon.
It sounds like its unreal specs but hey we can dream for now anyway
sent from a evo 4g stock Rom for now anyway
Didn't Samsung said this is 5X faster than the Hummingbird?
Great, now just take those specs and throw in a 1400mah battery and it should be good for a solid 10 hours.
I agree with others in this post: the Android phone manufacturers should look a little more closely at battery life on their phones rather than turning the market into a **** waving contest. My G2 is at 29% after 37 hours right now, and it's a reminder of the reason why I bought it over the Vibrant.
Not impossible:
Processor could be the orion
http://venturebeat.com/2010/09/07/samsungs-new-orion-processor-brings-dual-core-power-to-phones/
Gingerbread I don't think that it will but it could

Just in case anyone didn't want to try and pause the reflection of Galaxy s2 in the promo video.

Now that gives me a phone-boner. Too bad the whole thing would probably have that terrible plasticky feeling that the other Galaxy S phones have had.
Since when Android 3.0 is Gingerbread? These specs are clearly bull**** and rumors.
ITT: people confusing Gingerbread with Honeycomb
i doubt it will have such specs you would need a nuclear power plant to power that thing even for a galaxy Tab 2 is pretty doubtful as specs...
More likely it will be a dual core cpu @ 1ghz with a ram in between 512mb-1gb and a screen resolution of about 540p or so a Samoled2 screen and probably a 16gb-32gb internal storage + sd slot

Samsung Exynos 4212. Finally the Apple A5 killer?

Every device these days has dual core Cortex-A9 based SoCs. And that's every SoC; The Exynos 4210, the Qualcomm S3, the Apple A5, and the Exynos 4212.
Recently Samsung announced a new 4212 based on 32nm architecture that can reach speeds of 1.5 GHz, and has "50% faster 3D graphics performance". The old 4210 in the SGS2 uses 45nm processing, which uses much more power, and has a fairly slow GPU (Mali400MP4) compared to the A5 (SGX543MP2).
See here:

Going by this chart, a 50% boost should put the new Exynos, rumored to be used in the Nexus Prime, at over 100 FPS off screen.
Since Apple takes excessive care over battery life, we can expect the iPhone 5/4S variant of the A5 to run at 700-800 MHz, underclocked fron the iPad 2.
This would mean the Exynos 4212's CPU runs at almost double the clock speed of the iPhone 5.
So do you think the (estimated) 33% loss in GPU performance in the Nexus Prime with the 4212 would be worth the gain of maybe double the CPU performance compared to the A5?
I think we finally see an A5 killer here.
That is, unless Apple decides to throw away its battery life throne and clock the iPhone 5 at at least 1.2 GHz.
Am I suggesting losing battery life for gains in CPU performance that many users may not notice is worth it? Not necessarily. Just pointing out that Apple may have met its match.
But then again, the A5 is 45nm and the Exynos is 32nm, so power consumption may be similar .
If this is supposed to go in some other section, please move it.
longer battery life + unnoticeable performance gain ftw
Some people think that's more important.
How can you expect a chipset that move a 50% more of 67fps that is 100.5fps on a 800x480p screen be better than other that moves 148 on a 1024x768?
Oh and the iphone screen it is 960, so with less mhz will move the same fps as the ipad.
No, the new gpu of samsung it is still worse than the A5 in equal comparison and after more than 6 months.

Read the image smart one. It is a 1280x720 off screen test for each device in the chart. They are all rendering at the same resolution.
Let's hope they are able to find a working balance between performance and battery life. Because it's the combination that entices users.

Look at this smart guy.
As iPwn already said,you idiotic iFan,they all run the test at the same resolution.Not to mention that the chips in the iPad are larger,which means more transistors are placed in one chip,thus making it more powerful BUT MORE POWER CONSUMING.The variant in the iPhone won't just be underclocked,I can vouch for that.
Next time read before you post sh!t please,will ya?

HTC Edge - Rumored To Be The First Quad-Core Phone

While we already know the world's first quad-core tablet will be the ASUS Transformer Prime, we just got a glimpse of the first quad-core phone. It's rumored to be called the HTC Edge, and the hardware sounds completely beast.

There is one small detail that you may have already noticed: capacitive buttons. Of course, that doesn't mean this phone won't come with ICS right out of the gate, it just means that it won't take advantage of on-screen buttons.
According to PocketNow, we could see this device hit stores in late Q1 or early Q2 of next year, though carrier info is nowhere to be found.
Via: androidpolice.com
Beast indeed but these are just first renders so the capacitive buttons can be removed in final version. Sensation was different too at the first renders.

They will keep those buttons, htc won't spoil Sense by adding those buttons.
If they do so they will restyle them and release a phone with no hardware buttons.
4.7 is too large for a phone imo.
Sent from my brain
nice!
on the list for my possible next phone.
pocketable tablets...
yeah, i dont think thats it, if it would be a quad core, id think there would be more ram, and it would probably run ics, but it still has those capacitive buttons. just doesnt add for me

usb charging port - bad position
I don't like the position of the micro USB socket.
I have a sensation and the side mount is a pain, especially when charging in a car holder.
A quad core should have at least 2GB RAM to accompany it, 1GB is to small. But, am I the only one happy to see HTC is ditching Qualcomm for Tegra 3? I like snapdragon but Qualcomm is horrible with developing GPUs compared to imagination(SGX). I know AMD has better GPUs that Qual can base theirs on.
design is crap and the specs are not really that impressive..at all
some say dual core is an over kill, imagine quad core
I'd like to see them one up the Galaxy Nexus and increase the resolution even further, seeing as how HTC doesn't use Super AMOLED Plus displays.
Also only 8mega pixels? Its like they reuse the same sensors (I know they don't) but they should really make it a 12 mp camera, with a 5 mega pixel front camera.
this beast would drain your battery so fast probaly it would not last more than 3-4 hours unless htc make a battery 4000-5000mah size
this could be better if they use a 12 megapixel and 2 gig of ram.
for cpu side i love nvidia because i use gt550 ti graphic card in my computer and i can say no one make better grapic ships than nvidia and to use a graphic and cpu from nvidia is a big thumbs up.
This phone shouldnt be bigger than 4.3/4.5 because 4.7 is massive and and beside these phones are getting bigger every day . beside i personally think 4.3 inch is perfect for phone and i mean 4.3 sensation style and not desire hd becasue desire hd screen is to wide. but sensation is just perfect.
i hope this phone dont have over heating issue or bad battery life becaus ethis would ruin the whole phone concept.
Not sure how much stock to put into this. HTC only uses Qualcomm made SoCs. I'm personally waiting for a Qualcomm Krait equipped HTC phone.
Ok I just have to step in here and say something. First the idea of a quad core device is great, but it is only good if they take advantage of the eleged 1.5GHz in each core. I mean look at what they did to the Sensation. They o.ly used 1.2GHz of the 1.5 that it has and did not make full use of the dual core. Now before anyone says it I know that thanks to the devs here on XDA we have that now. But out of the box stock no we didn't.
I have already seen people posting here saying that the specs on this rumored device is not impressive or that HTC should up the camera more. Come on people how much better do you really need your device to be. Our devices are pretty Dang good right now. If you want a better camera go buy a better camera. Your phone was not and will never be intended to be a primary camera for someone. It is just a added feature of phones, a selling point if you will. Also if you want a device that has better specs than this rumored device yo probably need to get you a laptop or wait for a Windows 8 tablet to hit the market. This sort of mind set nothing is good enough is what the OEMs want. It does nothing but help them sell products and give them reason to constantly produce new models of devices.
This is not good on the enviroment for one, in case you have not noticed we only have one Earth. And the resources are being depleted rapidly with every new device that is made and developed. Two it is not good on the consumer in my opinion, but I will not go in depth with that as I have already ranted too long.
This is actually interesting to see HTC not using a qualcomm SoC and instead using Tegra.

Well if it is a quad core device they will have to as Tegra is the only ones that have a actual quad core processor chip that works off of ARM technology right now.

Hi,
They can just about keep a dual core cool enough to run at the moment.
How will you be able to run a quad core for any length of time,without some sort of cooling system?
And what are they going to use to power it?
And that beast will suck the life out of any battery in existence. We'll need ChiChiAnker's 4000 mAh for that sucker.

I can not really answer those questions. But I do know the Device in question will be considerably larger than the majority of current devices available at the moment. So it may be possible to use a larger battery in the device. Now your remark about keeping the device cool is a very resonable concern. I will be curious to see what HTC does to keep a quad core processor cool. I have a laptop with a AMD Phenom ll x4 N970 quad core process. And it puts out a good bit of heat so I know how much heat a quad core processor can generate.

If Tegra 3 isn't async would that mean all cores are constantly active and not sleeping? And this thing has more cores than my laptop so I expect it to be extremely fast...But we know HTC will find a way to cripple it with Sense 4.0 anyway, just hope Sense4 works on Sensation too, I want to keep this thing will mid 2012.

[Q] How does the MT6589 compare to other quads?

For example the Tegra3, is the MT as powerful? more? less? what are its low points?

I've been interested in the new generation of phones based on this chip also, from AnandTech's forums found the comparison below. The main selling point of the MT6589 SoC is its low cost and low power, so it may not be the fastest, but not many apps or phones take advantage of all the quad-core power either. It gives the most power/watt, and higher bang for the buck.

Oh man those numbers are awful! Its even below a dual krait!
TBH I wouldn't use "cheap " to describe it since the few decent phones using the older 6577 are as much as those with better silicon.
Take the zte U with a tegra3, costs the same that a jiayu G3 and that one can barely run GTAVC from what I seen.
Most 6589 models are on presale at almost the same than a nexus 4, too bad that one is still out of stock. Seriously what was google thinking selling a quad krait for 300? Of course demand was going to be high.
Of all the benchmarks listed, Antutu is what I believe the most, Quadrant is the least reliable, and has a history of manufacturers easily gaming it. Not sure about the HTML one, but that's a very specific benchmark too. As for pricing, www.fastcardtech.com seems to have good prices, and the MT6589 ones are pre-selling at $220-$250 shipped to the U.S.
Here's the older MT6577 Dualcore JiaYu G3 running GTAVC, looks ok to me:

The G3 has 1280x720p resolution, which may be too taxing for the older dualcore. The G2S, released later with qHD display is probably a better match (Around $185-200). MT6589 is supposed to have a much better GPU.
Well in antutu its still below everything but the dual krait by a considerable margin.
At 250 its just 50 bucks less than the nexus 4, so as I said its not cheap, just cheaper.
Beidou has announced a 720p tegra3 phone for just 160, which will he around 200 on sites like fastcard.
As for gta, have you seen how laggy it is? And that with everything toned down at the beginning of the video.
Have in mind that mt6589 is clocked to 1-1.2 GHz while other socs are from 1.4-1.7. Also the firmware is preproduction.
Jiayu has announced S1 with 1.5GHz mt6589 which can match a tegra3 on performance and have lower consumption at the same time.
About the mt6577 on jiayu g3 is the only dual core besides krait that handles an 720p screen. You can't compare its gaming performance with an other dual core running on a device with lower resolution.

Got a link to that? Because most benchs i seen struggle to get past 10k points, while the tegra3 its just a tad short of 20k.
And the S1 is going to have a 1.5 ghz quad S4, not a mtk, thats why its expensive

Yeah next time try to post a link to a non-spam blog that isn't written in engrish
Keep in mind MediaTek is a Taiwanese company, so the people to get the first & closest look will not be native English speakers. The article provides some interesting tidbits not found in others. Here's an english friendly take:

Gizchina is also foreign and has some grammar issues but the info is good, gizmochina tends to say whatever it wants to linkbait.
Btw that link was interesting, any idea where I can buy that Canvas phone?

There will be no next time my friend. I don't have to convince you about anything that you don't want to believe and I don't like eristic behaviours.
