G2x, sensation, hurcules?

G2x, sensation, Hercules?
See its a big game. As soon as you get one. There's another.
But a 4.5 in. 1.2 dual core with 16 gb internal and 1gb of ram.
I'm keeping my g2x. In 6 months dual core will be obsolete.
Why keep waiting?

This just proves my point. Phones are like graphics cards. Every 6 months they double the power.
I'd wait for the sgs2 but look at that Hercules.
I've decided the g2x will do until next years tax return. By then ill get that damn monster.
Or a new quad core
Or just keep the g2x.
After 2 cores I'm not sure it matters.

So they are locking the AT&T bands down. Hmmm....

The Hercules aka infuse is a very impressive device. I mess around with it at work daily.

The Infuse isn't dual core is it?
The Hercules uses a Dual-Core snapdragon similar to the Sensation @ 1.2Ghz. It isn't faster then the Tegra 2, but if it comes with an unlockable bootloader it might be the Sensation-Done-Right.... doubt it though. HTC is locking down all their phones.

No. But with the infuse you could imagine. Closest thing so far.
My question is how does the screen feel.
Too large? Just right?

The Hercules will be a sgs2 with a 4.5. Screen.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App

eh.. always gonna be a newer phone. highly doubt any of these will have anything that will make the G2x inferior. only reason to switch would be personal preference.

I just did a lot of research why the Sensation is going to be a bad choice over the G2x.

The Tegra 2 stomps it in both CPU and GPU. The HDMI/microUSB MHL connection won't charge the phone unless the TV has an MHL connection, which sucks cause no TV's support that yet. And comes with an encrypted bootloader. All reference links are in the above thread.

4.5 is pushing the limits of a phone. That is almost a 5" tablet like the Dell Streak. I have a hard enough time handling the 4" I have!

It was initially planned to have a Dual Core Tegra 2, I believe.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App

I dont see what the fuss is, my thunderbolt kills my xoom w/ tegra 2 all over the cpu benchmarks. Dual core is more of a gimmick than anything right now with these phones.

I still don't see why we need dual and coming soon quad core processors. With stock android everything runs great.

When the os is written to make use of multi-core processors battery life should improve. That's the biggest plus I can think of at the moment.

By the time that happens, youll be on an new phone anyways (probably another year or two). I guess some people (like the OP) will never be happy with the current phone they have.

I know there has been a lit of talked about the Galaxy SII but..

Has anyone actually seen and held one of the unbranded euro models? I met a guy from France today who had one on SFR and it was actually a smaller looking Infuse. All I've heard so far is that the euro one is 4.5 and att is going to get a 4.3 version. Can anyone clear this up for me really quick? I don't want this to turn into a flaming or bashing or anything like that. Just wanted to know if anyone had a definitive answer because Google doesn't help one bit haha
Thanks

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App

Hmm.. well samsung galaxy s2 was released a few months ago here in Mexico and well they KINDA look alike... except the middle physical button on the gs2 and the battery door that makes the camera look "different" even though they are both 8mp
Of course sg2 is "faster" since the dual core but i didnt noticed any major difference on speed when working with my friends galaxy s2.... it was smaller than my Infuse, so i guess its 4.3"... and at&t should get 4.3" as well... i mean Mexican and European version are 4.3" i dont think the USA will be 4.5" probably bad info...

The Euro version is a 4.3" screen, AT&T's version will be the closest to the Euro one, only the physical button will be gone from all american versions of the phone. The Sprint and T-Mobile versions will have 4.52" screens instead of 4.3", and the T-Mobile version will have a different, 1.5Ghz dual core Qualcom CPU. The Samsung Exynos chip is limited to 21.1mbps HSPA+ speeds, while the Qualcom can hit 42mbps.

Afaik Intel will be behind on the mobile processors for a while because they are just entering... But it will be interesting to see how x86 fares against arm. Who knows maybe they will be better come upgrade time.

re
either the snap dual core or the quad core.. either way it will be gobs better than the Charge.

The frustrations this phone and the Fascinate have caused, I look forward to using a phone from another manufacturer.
Supposedly HTC is coming out with a Note competitor this summer.

I'm actually quite happy how my phone has performed. I haven't had any issues besides a couple of force quits from some apps. They just had bugs in them though. I've had my phone for 7 months and I've been quite happy. Got it right around the Gingy update. I guess I would upgrade if a decent phone came out that had all of the bells and whistles.
The ReZound has almost everything but it's missing a few odds and ends. Still an awesome phone. I find myself playing with my wife's ReZound from time to time. The iPhone 5 almost sounds promising, but I want to see what is going to compete with it once it comes out. I guarantee something awesome is going to blow the iPhone out of the water. Waiting...

Word is that Samsung's quad core exynos is incompatible with US LTE frequencies because they don't make it in that specification or something, which is why the US version will have the s4 like the one x on at&t.

Gay. Why is it the states get the ****ty end of the stick when it comes to android phones? Phones have to be modified to come to the states and then the same phone that released in europe, korea, and china differs from what we get here.

Maybe because they aren't US based companies? Motorola is, and I am pretty sure the US moto phones are released before their international equivalents. Also, US carriers run on different frequencies from everyone else.

I am pretty excited for it. I am waiting to use it hands on before I make the dive. My plan just went up a few days ago so I am waiting to test this before upgrading if it comes to Verizon.

If it's a snapdragon and an adreno 320 then it's already failed because there are loads of phones like that.
They surely wouldn't advertise the octa chip if it wasn't going in the GS4. However the A7 mixed with the A15 seems like a little bit of a cheat, I bet it uses the A7 95% of the time or the A15 cores are heavily throttled because it looks like they drain battery like mad, especially in a smart phone.
