[Q] some doubts about One S - HTC One S

I Still Cant understand why One S is better than One S in processor having a dual core and another queestion could be which is better One S , Atrix HD, One X in real gaming/3g usage/apps/storage?

no one?

more cores doesn't mean better. it's like having 10 toyotas is not the same as having a ferrari. it's all about quality not quantity. One s has a newer, more advanced processor (qualcomm s4) that's why it's faster.

32 GB on XL

Just having a little look around and found that the HTC One XL has listed 32GB internal storage on the Australian HTC site.
I'd attach a link, but it looks like you just have to google it ;]
Unfortunately because the only thing holding me back from getting the XL was 16GB of storage, Ive already purchased the HOX, just waiting for it to arrive.
Sorry if this is old news.
I would still prefer a quad-core One X over a dual-core XL
good work! all we need are about 50,000 more threads and we can have 1 for every member! how many xda members are there?
Well, I thought it was in the general interest to people as I know a few people were bothered about the 16GB on the LTE version of this phone, so I was just giving out the news, I did have a look around and didn't see any other thread giving this information out..

Krait Dual-Core 1.5Ghz 28nm > Tegra 3 Quad-Core 1.5Ghz 40nm
If you had a Dual Core phone before, the Tegra 3 isn't much different, since it has to scale over to the 4 cores which is less likely, whereas the Krait is similar to the A15 Architecture and produces better performance which is why no-one has experience lag on the HTC One S due to faster processor and the smaller resolution. Also battery life is easily going to be better due to the 28nm compared to Tegra 3 Companion Core 40nm.
The Tegra 3 GPU isn't much powerful to the Adreno 225, on GLBenchmark they are both are equal (720p Offscreen, 1 each) and Adreno 225 beats the Tegra 3 in Nenamark 2.

Well we can't really allow the One X to fight against the One S because there are too many variables. When the AT&T version of the One X comes out with the LTE support and One S' processor, then we can actually see the difference.
I agree that sometimes dual core processors can process fast through benchmarks, but then benchmarks can be flawed and tampered with. Also with many factors which could affect raw power testing, as you said resolution difference, background services, etc.
There is a reason why the One S doesn't have the carousel affect when sliding the bars on the bottom to switch menus. It runs a smaller OS, which in turn allows it to have a smaller footprint than One X's heavily bloated OS.
It may be fast over a short period of time, to process small things, but, let's say for computers, if I had to render a 1 minute video on a dual core machine, it will take 5 minutes, but on a quad core machine it will take 2.8 minutes or below. I think of the long period of using a quad core device, and the capabilities in which it hasn't fully utilized yet.
Also when you said dual core, yeah, I had a Samsung Galaxy S II and a Samsung Galaxy Nexus. You can get their ROMs under 200mb for the full Touchwiz experience, while to get a full Sense 4.0 experience, you have a ROM which can go over 600mb easily. The Galaxy S II in my opinion was a very fast device when I used it, all the raw power it had, but as I said, sometimes you just can't compare them because there are way too many variables. Physically if none had an OS, okay fine, you can test, but the way many people test speeds have affected results in at least two ways.
That's my opinion, many people think differently, but I guess people could see where I'm going
Have to say the one s runs like a champ. That thing fast. Faster than my one x. Smooth and snappier. I don't care to much about quadrant but the ones s I've tried scored 5400 lol and transitions were butter. Snappier and smoother than my quad core lol. On the other hand I've also tried the one x dual core from att. I think.that's the same as the xl. That one was laggy and not smaooth as the one.s so one s wins.

Ummm, what? If you take an Intel E6600 and a Q6600, the quad core is twice as powerful, in theory. You can't get a 5 times speedup! You can't even get a 2 times speedup, since some of the workload isn't parallelisable.
This is completely irrelevant, however, since has already has been mentioned, the Tegra3 and Snapdragons are quite different.

Sorry, that was a pretty bad comparison, since I don't really have a quad core computer, only 8 core (4cores+imaginary4cores) I don't really know the exact comparison, but at least you know where i'm trying to get at

HTC One X Tegra 3 and XL S4 Krait

Hello guys,
Well i need some advice from real people. There are two models in my country: international One X and One XL. You know what the differences are. So maybe someone tested both with same kernel and os version. Which processor is better? Tegra 3 or Snapdragon clocked Krait S4?
In your opinion which one to buy and why? Or just go for One S?
P.S. There are like 1 million reviews and benchmarks and like every single one is different.
Thank you for your opinion!

S4 for the battery.

S4 because its the future.
S4 for the LTE.
S4 for the battery life.
S4 for the win

I really do not need LTE. The main thing is speed! And about battery? It is really big difference? Or just go for Galaxy S3...? I just love HTC design, and galaxy is just near ugly, but speed is more important, just hate lag so much.
28nm ftw

S4 processor is better. The tegra 3 was rushed so they could be the first to get a quad core. It's crappy architecture. The s4 is better for everything but gaming but only by a little and it kills battery on the tegra
Sent from my One X using xda premium
Speed difference is negligible. S4 wins in a lot of benchmarks, and Tegra wins in a couple. And you would likely not see much difference in real world use. Same performance, but better battery life on the S4.
Also, at launch the Tegra version had graphical glitches, and a number of other bugs that were attributed to the Tegra chipset. Not sure if these were ever sorted out, as I don't keep up with that version. But many were doubting it would be fixed anytime soon, as NVIDIA is notorious for taking forever to address such issues.
And you might think you don't need LTE. But its not just about speed. I get fantastic data reception at my house now under LTE, where under HSPA+ it was dismal (1 bar, with frequent connection drops). At some point, you may find your self in a location(s) that has poor HSPA reception, and LTE will save the day.
Every Tegra device I've put my hands on has always seemed far too slow and glitchy for the supposedly excellent hardware and software behind it. Except the Zune HD, but everyone ignored the Tegra 1 for some reason. S4's got better battery, chances are they are basically identical in real world use. The only downside to the S4 is the lack of official support for the Tegra games, but I'm sure we'll be able to play them in time.
To be honest, we might be able to do them now if Chainfire3d works for us.
I'd buy a Qualcomm based device over a Tegra based one any day of the week for all of the reasons already mentioned.
The S4 may be "only" dual core, but it's the better chip.
sweet, another thread for this
you should of done something original, like ask one x vs. galaxy s3

there are s4 with quad core. a chinese phone maker jiayu, is making the jiayu s1 with s4 pro. that is 4 cores with gpu andreno 320! and with 2 gb ram with 32 gb memory with sd card slot and 2500 mah battery or 3000 mah battery!, with a 3.0 megapixel cam in front and 13 megapixel in the bag, and is thin!. only for 260 or more dollars!. incredible no? (gorila glass maybe, like the other older models!) and the value is near the nexus 4, but this one is better, with more battery, (the jiayu g4 with an older procesor with quadcore wins the nexus 4, this will win the samsum galaxy note 2 or more) jiayu is good with good performance battery and resistant products. and very beautiful too

[Q] About hardware and benchmarks

hi,
There's something that I don't understand about how the mobile CPUs work.
Why is the Galaxy SIII stronger than the HTC ONE X (in benchmarks), although they are both quad-core and ONE X's CPU frequency is even faster by 100MHz?
How can the iPhone 5 be faster than the GALAXY SIII in benchmarks, although it only has a dual core 1.2GHz?
Thanks.
because they use different cpus. Some cpus are better than others. This also explains why Xperia T and V (both dual core) outperformed gs3 (quad core).

HTC one x plus vs ASUS Padfhone 2

which one is the best, the HOX+ or the ASUS...
which one have a better processor ?(HOX+?- its 1.7 vs 1.5)
which is better - a better processor or more ram memory?
(it doesnt so much matter to me which one has a better camera)

Droid Mini successor?

Any word on one of these yet? I think I am done with the bigger phones.
There are rumors of a Droid Mini 2 codename "Valocia". It will supposedly have a Snapdragon 801 SoC, which consists of a 2.5 GHz quad-core Krait 400 CPU and an Adreno 330 GPU.
That's all I've been able to find. I really hope it is still "Mini" and is no bigger in body size than the current Droid Mini.
I worry it will end up being bigger and not so "Mini" any more. Reason being small smartphones are becoming less and less popular, with Motorola even having made the 2014 versions of MOTO X and MOTO G much bigger than the 2013 models despite keeping the same name. I'm taking really good care of my current Mini in case the Mini 2 isn't so mini any more.

If they do all the upgrades of the X and give it a little better screen I believe I will get it and hope for decent battery life.
Since becoming a father a month ago my Maxx is a pain to truly one hand.
Droid Mini 2 (Valocia)
1/4/2016 Have heard nothing about the New Motorola Droid Mini for months. Any rumors or facts whether it has been canceled or still be released in 2016?
I haven't seen any info out there about it at all. They may have just decided that nobody wants a "small" phone any more. Everyone I know has gone to 5.1"+, and that includes both Android and iOS users.
If they do come out with a Droid Mini 2, I bet it won't be so Mini and will probably have at least a 4.7" screen.
