Hey Guys! :laugh:
I've Got a Question to the developers because they might understand this!
I've got a Desire S with the same Snapdragon S2 as Xperia play. and i noticed that on the xperia play heavy games like Gta 3 and Modern combat works way smoother than Desire s.
Take a look at this:
Desire S:
Snapdragon S2
ARMV7
MSM8255
Adreno 205
1ghz processor with Dual-channel 333 MHz LPDDR2
Xperia Play: Exactly the same as here above :good:
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_(system_on_chip)
So I don't understand it?
isn't there an driver so you can update it to perform like the xperia play or some like that?
I hope for response :laugh:
There can be a lot of reasons.
Are both of them running stock ROMs?
If it is, then that is your answer. Sense is just too heavy. It won't leave much RAM to other apps and processes and it has a lot of optimizations to keep the battery use small.
If they are running custom ROMs, then the answer is because the ROM on the XPeria is just better optimized.

An unexpected type of shootout between completely different products, but fun to read anyways. Not prefect since it is done on paper specs and not actual hardware:

Bad review , author has no idea what he is talking about , this phone does not have 4 gigs of RAM. It has 8 gigs of internal storage SSD and 512 MB of RAM.
Winner: LG Optimus 3D1GHz Dual-Core OMAP4, 4GB RAM, SGX540 GPU (LP DDR2)loser: Nintendo 3DS2x 266MHz ARM11 processors, 64MB RAM, PICA200 GPU

It also plays host to a whopping 4GB of RAM which should be plenty for coping with all of the phone's basic functions as well as the 3D visuals

Does this device really have the SGX540? The same GPU as the Galaxy S?
If it does, wouldn't that mean that there really won't be much improvement over the Galaxy S for single-threaded applications(seeing as, besides the 3D-ness and extra core, the specs are quite similar)? Are most Android apps/games/emulators/N64oid single-threaded?

The omap 4 is paired with an overclocked version of the sgx. If you check a thread on smartphonebenchmarks.com it will show the comparisons for the 2 different phones. As of now the overclocked version doesn't make a big difference until newer games are released that require more power. It gives the phone more life in terms of hardware . I would link but my g1 doesn't have the ram to save the state my apps are in. The g1 requires a full restart of apps which is inconvenient.

FUTURE Optimus 2X (G2x)
Hi guys,
I'm looking to buy an Android phone and have narrowed it down to these two phones. There doesn't seem to be much between them in the specs. Are there any good/bad points worth knowing about either phone that might help me decide?
I intend to root and probably install CFW, both seem quite well supported in that regard. Is there much difference between the processors?..
Optimus Black - 1 GHz Cortex-A8 processor, PowerVR SGX530 GPU, TI OMAP 3630 chipset
Xperia Arc - 1GHz Scorpion processor, Adreno 205 GPU, Qualcomm MSM8255 Snapdragon
Thanks!
Arc. The screen is miles better =]

Get the galaxy s3. Trust me. You will regret not getting it! In america, it has 1.5 GHz processor with 1 gig of ram. It's also quad core. Everywhere else in the world, it's 1.5 GHz with 2 gigs of ram. This one is dual core. This is currently the greatest phone available.
REMEMBER TO SAY THANKS IF I HELPED OR INSPIRED YOU IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks b.huss2, ognimnella, and agrabren.:good:
Agrabren and b.huss2 will be missed by us evo 3d cdma users.
Actually, the american version of the S3 has a dual-core and 2GB of RAM. The international version is the one with the quad-core and 1GB of RAM.
As for a gaming mobile, I guess the S3 would be a great choice. And there is also the Xperia Play, which is more like a real gaming cellphone and there are many games optimized for it, including PlayStation games. But I think it has a single core processor.

I had the xperia play before this s3 and can guarentee that the s3 can play any game the xperia can if not as well, better.
Call of duty black ops zombies was released as "xperia play optimized" yet i have it on my s3 and xperia..s3 runs its so much smoother.

Go with a HTC One X with the Tegra 3. Many games are optimized for Tegra processors as Nvidia has exclusive connections with them.
u can try HTC evo 3D or SGSIII or HTC One X

Not true. tegra games actually make themselves play worse or with worse graphics when they detect you are not using a tegra CPU. If you trick the game into believing your processor is a tegra, then it will play with all the spoils.

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.
Hi,
i cant find similar thread, so i make this one.
I have very important Q for you.
I have now Xperia U (2x 1Ghz[1.15GhzOC] U8500, 512MB RAM, mali 400), but i think to buy Xperia S (2x 1,5Ghz MSM8260[1,7Ghz OC], 1GB RAM, Adreno 220).
I heard mali is much better then adreno but S have better CPU and memory, so my Q is:
which one is better for gaming? can i see big diffrence in practice bettwen those 2 models?
Thank for help,
if its duplicate plz link me PM with thread, coz i cant find another comparison of those Xperias.
Re: Xperia S or Xperia U
To run graphic intense games, you need a lots of RAM, where xperia s wins, and it has better cpu.
About the gpu, did a quick Google search and yielded up with these.
