Can android be not as smooth as iOS/WP7?

Apparently, this article claims it has a reason.Do read and comment, and if u r a dev, try to find a getaround
http://www.redmondpie.com/heres-why-androids-ui-will-never-be-as-smooth-as-ios-or-windows-phone-7/

No it's not the reason. But this:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/sprint-nexus-s-4g/120310-ics-hardware-acceleration.html

frankly ,the reason is that Android does a lot more than those crapsters

Why not find a reason why wp7 and ios doesnt implement multitasking when they first came out?

But frankly, who cares? Let's put it out clear: it's always a good idea to invest in an easier-to-develop software than on a hard-to-mantain code but fast. And that's android.
Does your phone lag? Put in a dual core. Does it lag again? Go for a quad core.
And one thing is android which is fully customizable, and one is android/windows phone which can't do quite anything out of the box.

Isnt it quad core is too much? Why dont they make tri core? Just kidding.

hd 2 is still one of the best phone

A day will come when even android GPUs will have clock speeds of above 600mhz or 1ghz range... That day is not very far..
Tapashocked via my gt-I9003 with a random keyboard of my choice !

Ya...android is superbly growing technology but still we should not forget that iphone is one of best & smooth os. My frnd has iphone 4. Forget about open source & all those things, in just 2 min i realised that iphone is super duper smooth. Android will definitely achieve that level & even it will grow more than that one day.

good specs and performance for that price range but its micromax....... so u have to think.......
or
wait for the price to be reduced....

I am currently using A90... It's a fairly good device not so overwhelming but definitely not undermining...
It packs decent specs and the price is manageable (Rs. 12450)
Pros
AMOLED Screen
Ice cream sandwich
Dual SIM
Light weight
Doesn't look like China phone at all (believe me on this)
Cons
Battery (as it is dual SIM)
Slow performance while multiple apps are running
Camera is not at all astonishing even if 8MP
No custom ROMs (hope to get it soon)
I have seen Karbonn A18 and it looks bulky compared to this phone.
If you want to wait then you should wait for Samsung galaxy s duos... it is extremely similar to GSIII form factor and updates and custom ROMs will be available

Currently i'm using Micromax A100
Micromax Superfone series mobiles are not bad...!!
U can go for it...!! :angel:

Please see the sticky at the top of this section for all such questions. Thread closed.

[Q] Which phone should i buy ?

Presently i am using nokia 3120 classic.I want to buy a android phone with good camera quality and should run all hd games smoothly,good screen size and battery life .My budget is around 200$ and can extend up to 250$(if required).
I was thinking of getting a micromax superfone canvas 2(a110).Will it be a wise decision or should I choose any other phone.
I want to know the drawbacks in mmx canvas 2 and how is the camera quality is it worth 8 mp?

I bought sony xperia tipo a month back which is in your price range.
and i am pretty impressed by its performance(though the camera quality sucks).
I think you should have a look at it!
:good:

Maybe Galaxy Ace 2. Rom JB official updated by samsung

I think you should go with ace 2 that would be better since its a dual core processor

But it's the least most power full processor... That's what made me refused to buy the Ace 2... The phone seller was also the one who urged me to buy that...

i bought the htc evo 3d a year ago, now it´s rooted and i still have no problems with it
otherwise the new htc one x+ looks very useful and i´m thinking about to buy it :good:
but if you only want to pay 200$ it should be enough for the incredible or htc one

But it's dual core.
If i'm not wrong.Dual core is always better than a single core

I am using Karbonn A9+ (Indian version of Cherry Flare), the fone has good specifications and Karbonn is also coming up with S1 Titanium with Quad-Core Processor, looking into it might be worth.

The Nexus 4 8gb is the best value for money. You'll recieve all the updates quick and first compare to the Galaxy s3 and Motorola's :good:

In your budget Micromax Canvas 2 is a superb mobile phone. You can run hd games easily and camera is also nice.

Fine, you win, BUT other than the Ace 2, I recommend Xperia U... dual core 1GHz... In my country, it probably costs the same price... :thumbup:

No it doesn't supports external sd
U can also go for xperia sola
Galaxy grand etc...
But go for dual core single core mobile can never be better than a dual-core one..

I agree with fayosi. I would buy a nexus 4. standard android os w/ no filler and quick updates.

Do not buy nexus 4 u will get better in this price
First of all nexus devices are hard to customize
Second nexus 4 has touch problem u can check its youtube review from pocketnow to find it ex if u use pinch to zoom then it responds Less to it..
Third nexus 4 had throttle problem see youtube I.e when it reaches 36` Celsius it starts to throttle
And ur CPU speed starts to become low
When it reach 40` (this temp is common for such powerful device)Celsius u will see lag in games as CPU speed reaches
CPU freq reaches 1.2 GHz(not too bad from1.5ghz) and gpu freq reaches 200mhz (very bad from 400mhz)
So better don't go for it
it gets update fast but other mobiles also get them in time...

nexus4 is better

About Phone Purchasing
Dear All,
According to my exp. if u want more in less price then you should go local brand like Micromax , Karboon etc.

What did I just buy?! Please help

So I just picked this up for $380, with very little chance to look it over thoroughly because we were in the rain. I don't think it's a note 2, please help.
It does say mediatek when I boot it up, but also has a Samsung serial number badge behind the battery.

Could be some kind of chinese Galaxy Note 2 copy.

I'm thinking that but at the same time it still has a lot of the features, just seems like a stripped rom.

Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Its definitely a Note II clone from china, $380 is too much, is the mediatek processor a dual core (mtk6577) or a quad core one(mtk6589)? There's another thread here about an S4 clone with mt6589 quadcore, the guy bought it for just $150

I m really sorry for that buddy. Its Chinese clone of Note 2 for sure.

Sorry to say that it is not the official note 3 u can see it from the edges :/

With that bezel? It's a clone, just look at the space differences between the screen and the edge, and the screen and the button compared to the image on the box. And the pen looks more like the screwdrivers you find at Ikea...
Sorry mate, you've been scammed.

If you bought it from anywhere except the streets return and ask for a refund
Atleast 300 $
Then get yourself a mixromax canvas
Legit and future proof
Very good review so far
If you brought it from some illegal trades be sure you will be safe

The thing with this clones is that they usually comes in 3 flavors, they look the same (i.e. Note 2 clone) but have different specs, one is a single core (mtk 6575) with only 512mb RAM, one is a dual core (mtk6577) with a 1gb RAM and the other is what they call an S-Class clone or a Premium clone with a Quadcore (mtk 6589) with 1gb ram and with an IPS panel.
The single core and dual core variant usually comes with a "RIGGED" antutu benchmark installed (old version), I said rigged because when you look at the device info inside antutu it will say Quadcore, Amoled, 2gb RAM, 1280x720 and so on, Thats what the scammer usually shows the victim.. errr buyer.. They will even tell you its a clone BUT an almost exact copy of the original one in terms of performance.. Once you got home and started playing with, you'll notice its kinda slow for a quadcore... and when you install the LATEST Antutu (downloaded from play store) and look at the device info, you'll be shocked that it only has a single core with a 512mb ram with only qHD resolution only etc (everything low spec).

Download the latest Antutu benchmark from play store, install it then run it... At the bottom of the screen, press "info" then press "system info" for a detailed specs, the cpuinfo will tell you if its a single, dual or quad core... it just say ARMv7 at the cpuinfo, look at GPU renderer, if its say PowerVR 531 then its a Mediatek MT6575 single core, if its PowerVR 533 its a MT6577 dual core and if it says PowerVR 544, its a MT6589 quadcore..

I did download quadrant stabbed when I was able to get Wi-Fi, I'll post my findings

[NEWS] Nokia's Project X Android Smartphone Specification Details Leaked.

Nokia's mysterious Project
X smartphone, which if
rumours are to be believed
will run on the Android OS
seems to be getting more
leaks.
According to the news Nokia Android
smartphone will come with
a dual-core 1Ghz
processor, 4GB of RAM and
a 5 megapixel camera.
Those specifications put the
phone at the lower end of
the market, which seems to
be supported by the claim
that it will come in a range
of colours -- usually a sure
sign of a mass market
product.
In fact, it seems very
similar in specification to
the Windows Phone based
Lumia 520.
The key being that this is
supposedly an Android
smartphone, being released
by a company about to be
bought by Microsoft.
Whether it will be able to
dual-boot into Windows
Phone as well is uncertain,
but Microsoft has been
reportedly talking to other
handset vendors about
such a system, so this could
be a technology prover for
Microsoft to show the
potential.

good for start . especialy with dual boot.
it good but not for company like NOKIA .
so. thanks for the news
