okay, I know galaxy nexus is dual-core and all, while sensation xl is single core;
but here is the thing ... i heard the galaxy nexus is using the nexus s' gpu, (if im not mistaken,) which is a bit old.
And also, galaxy nexus has to render extra pixels due to HD display, compared to sensation xl's wvga screen.
Considering these two factors, which one shows better performance in gaming?
I think i should've asked this in the general section? ... Wasn't really sure, Sorry if It's in the wrong place
Both the Nexus S and the Galaxy Nexus are powered by PowerVR SGX 540, but the SGX 540 in the OMAP 4460 is running at 384 MHz, which is almost twice as fast as in the Nexus S.

Thanks for the reply .... but how does that compare to sensation xl's gpu?
Im also interested to know about this GPU comparison and actual performance between these two phones, meanwhile i am planning to exchange my Sensation Xl with Galaxy nexus. Does it worth changing it? Somebody suggest Plz )

Soo, what is the better one? Based on the benchmark, the tegra 2 outperformed the dualcore snapdragon (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1003141 ), but based on another post here on the forum, the snapdragon outperformed the nvidia tegra 2 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1022242 ). Also, should I upgrade from my desire hd to the htc sensation, or should I wait for another phone?
Thanks For All Replies!
The tegra 2 has dual core A9 compared to snapdragons dual core A8. So I think that means tegra 2 is better but I don't really know. As for the sensation, idk.

If you read further down into the comments, you see that Tegra 2 isn't a clear winner in either thread.
Ok, thanks for the replies! Are there going to be any better cpu's/gpu's out in the next half year, or should I upgrade from my desire HD to the sensation? Also, is the new samsung galaxy s 2 worth waiting for?
Thanks

The Scorpion core isn't exactly a Cortex A8 core. It's known to use some of the out of order processing that the Cortex A9 processors are known for so in a way, its superior to the A8 yet lagging behind a little in performance to the A9. Still, I think Tegra 2 isn't better because of its performance; I think its better because of the support its getting from developers.

Fairest comparison would be between the Atrix and Sensation due to the same screen resolution. Something to note is that the Sensation is still using pre-released software, while the Atrix is still on 2.2.
I am trying to make a decision today since the release of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus was rumored to be pushed back until December and HTC Rezound was in fact released today.
Anyhow, I want to choose the phone based of pure performance disregarding the operating system (Galaxy Nexus is the first Android 4.0 phone). Also, many people prefer the Nexus and answers unfortunately become biased. Please try to have unbiased responses. =]
Samsung Galaxy Nexus
CPU: TI OMAP 4460 dual-core (under) clocked at 1.2GHz
GPU: Mali400MP
HTC Rezound:
CPU: S3 Qualcomm MSM8660 dual-core clocked at 1.5 GHz
GPU: Adreno 220
I have been looking up multiple comparisons but all are inconsistent with each other.
long story short, the G-nex will perform better.
Which processor is better? Samsung Exynos 4 Quad ARM Mali-400 MP4 OR Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 MSM8960 adreno 225?Much better?

Better for what? Performance, energy saving, games on mobile phone? Quad-Core vs Dual-Core?
I'd prefer Quad-Core, but have never find a good test or benchmark for it.
Best regards

Is your question in regards to the sgs3? The Mali has a better gpu but processing power they are about equal with all the bench marks. Quad core is nice for aaving battery power (more cores work less as hard as a dual or single core so it it uses less battery) but I think its a a9 architecture but the s4 is a a15 architecture which is much more optimized then a a9 so its a little bit better for battery.
And the s4 allows for 4g lte where as Mali does not.
And the s4 pro is coming out soon and the lg optimus g will have that which will probably destroy both of them out of the water.
S4 pro is a a15 quad core with adreno 320 gpu and will be the first quad to support 4g lte.
The optimus g has all the same specs as sgs3 expect it has the better cpu/gpu. Ram, screen size, resolution as well as internal memory are all the same and I think its SD card slot allows for a 64gb card as well. If it comes out for Verizon then I will be torn between that and the sgs3. Depends on dev support if It comes out on Verizon.
But for the Mali its one up is it gpu. S4 one up is 4g lte. Every thing else is marginal and as an end user you will not see the difference.

Yes I to sgs3. In terms of what the processor is better? in games for example? In general, whether with MSM8960 Snapdragon S4 go to Exynos?
Hi dude! both processors are good! And dont forget about A6(Iphone5). Sry for iphone 5 but that processor is ammazing!

The exynos is better for hardcore 3d gaming, but otherwise you won't notice the difference in day to day and casual gaming.

Doesn't matter because since its an iPhone its scaled back to "improve stability" so you will never get its full potential just like iphone 4s is.

qualcomm did not much inferior to Exynos?
In most of the reviews of US and international S3, Exynos scored more than snapdragon. But I believe, normal user will not feel much difference.
I had one with Exynos in hand. Pretty good.
i think the Exynos is very good
which one X should i buy?
tegra has the nvidia graphics and quad core
but the s4 uses a15 arch and the solid adreno 225
what do you guys find is the better version?

Tegra 3..... By FAR!
faster, better gpu & 32gb.
S4 uses less battery, but more battery on standby.

I am developing graphics apps for android (like live wallpapers). I have a lot of phones and tablets for testing including HTC One X (Tegra 3), Aer A701 (Tegra 3), Sensation (Andreno) and Samsung device (Mali400P).
I can say Tegra 3 is the slowest platform over all top devices. NVidia promoted it nice, so people think that Tegra3 really the best if not the bestest. But, my expirience of development disapprove it.
Floating point ops on Tegra3 is very slow. Rendering speed and filling operations EXTREMELY SLOW.
GPU is slower than Andreno or Mali. HTC One X renders scenes slower than Sensation or any Samsung device with MALI400P.
On Acer A701 stock android launcher lags (coz of tegra3 cant handle such resolution for fill ops).
Compared to all other platforms Tegra3 overheats device most of all. If you launch any real 3d game (Shadowgun for example), HTC One X will become very hot in several minutes and you get your fingers hurt while touching the screen.
So, DO NOT GET TEGRA3 devices at all till NVidia make it much more better.
And remember the number of apps that cannot be ran under tegra3 devices. It's just because tegra3 currently completely sucks :cyclops:
Also remember, you do not need quad cores CPU coz currently there are no apps that use parallel processing. And the situation will not change until OpenAL mobile support.
2 cores is enough most of the times (1 for interface and 1 for background tasking).
Have a nice time
Why do you think the One X+ has a tegra3+
hmm.. mixed responses so far. hopefully the one x+ fixes whatever tegra3 lacks

and nvidia difficulty release source or drivers
phone: sgs2 GT-I9100
kernel : dorimanx 5.79beta
main rom: rr 2.7
second rom: cm 9.1
baseband: I9100XXLQ6
Sorry tegra 3 is overrated. It's more of a battle between quad core exynos and dual core S4 (yes I am talking about the galaxy s3), but tegra 3 is no match for either of them. Same with tegra 2. It would appear that NVIDIA makes the first dual or quad core CPU for a phone but later on other CPUs surpass it.
The S4 one x (in the states) also has LTE

Hey guys was hoping you could help me out since I am a big newbie when it comes to the mobile world
I am looking to buy a new phone, and one of the phones I've choosen to buy has adreno 225, 1.5ghz krait and 720p 4.7" screen (its the pantech (or SKY) a830l ).
Was hoping you guys could help me and let me know which games and/or apps (if any) I wont be able to run because of gpu bottle-neck on this resolution, and how future proof the adreno 225 will prove to be..
additionally, my alternative choice is htc One X
One X is almost twice the price of the pantechm , so I want to know whether its really worth it in terms of cpu and gpu power (ignoring the better screen for a bit).
Also, I've noticed that many 'very' powerful cell phones have mali400 (including galaxy note (1) and SIII). I've heard people say that adreno 225 is better than mali400 AND that SIII outperforms in games cell phones with much more powerful graphics card. So now im really confused. Am I missing something?

mali 400 easily outperforms adreno 225... that's why it is in galaxy s3
and it has capability upto 4 cores so it is better
more comparable to it would be adreno 320!
the "pantech" one is a good choice if pricing suits you! You'll be able to play many games but i assume 1.5 ghz krait is either dual/quad core!! If yes you are good to go!

thanks for the reply, really appreciate the clarification.
Ive seen a couple of benchmarks but benchmarks are just benchmarks. Based on current games an apps, how many games and apps are there that wont be able to run because of the gpu? and can you give me some examples? hope I'm not asking too much :angel:
the pantech 830 is Super IPS LCD 720p (4.8"), krait dual core 1.5ghz and adreno 225
Samsung galaxy Note (N7000) is Super Amoled 720p (5.3"), cortex A-9, mali400, about 25% more expensive than the pantech
HTC One X is about twice the price of the pantech (and I really doubt I need the quad core)

Well the pantech phone will run almost all games.. Games which have state of the art graphics like nova3,wild blood and latest nfs, asphalt releases might be a problem.. But those can also be made working by rooting and enabling hardware acceleration
Note and one x will run all games but i understand they are costly
Then again it comes to u, how much u want to pay!

thanks for the reply..Im willing to spend more but I just dont want spend money on hardware which I wont be utilizing. Id like to game on my mobile, but not dying do and dont mind if a few games dont work. Prefer gaming on my PC in any case.
Just want to confirm that all apps would work and I could run 720p videos on the pantech smoothly.
