[Q]buy nexus s or wait for dual cores ??

Help needed!!!! I am really confused what to do , whether to buy a nexus s now or wait for dual -core phones .I just dont want to buy something for 20k that might be outdated soon.

Nexus s will pretty much run anything out right now.. Don't play the waiting game, get it if the price is right? It's technology.. Every few months there is newer and more expensive **** out

If you want to play the waiting game, wait for the next Nexus. I wouldn't ever buy or recommend a non-Nexus Android.

what do you mean? i truly believe that is the best phone and it is for everyone!!

I love my Nexus. If you wait then you will still be seeing something else better come out in a few months. If you like the Nexus, then get it. If not then just wait it out.

Ya...thats what.Even i dont want to wait because my budget was around 18k, i stretched it to 20k(current price of nexus s in inr)...the budget is so strict that i cant even stretch it to buy sgs i9000(which i dont feel is worth buying when compared to nexus s)...and my requirement is that heavy (gameloft-ish)games should work smoothly ...which i think nexus s with its 1ghz humming bird procc & PowerVR SGX 540 would handle quite well atleast for an year or so ..and plus there is a chance that nexus s will be getting ICS ...so i think i should just buy it now ...and 20k for nexus s is a steal i think !

The nexus s is an awesome phone for the price now (320 € in Germany). I wouldn't spend almost twice as much for a double core.

Btw, I'm not sure where you're from but in the states when you say 20k that k stands for thousands. So $20,000 is a bit much for the Nexus S. I only paid $200 for mine

Gaming? Nexus S is never your wrong choice. Haha.
You can use Chainfire 3D on Nexus S to play Tegra 2 games,
you can overclock your phone using Trinity 1.576 kernel to maximize your game experience.
What more do you want when the 1.576 kernel give a same quadrant score (or even higher) than duo core phone such as Optimus 2x ang SGSII??
In conclusion, get me to help you when you got your nexus, I will give you all the necessary file/kernel/rom/apps for maximum gaming experience
I am a gamer (only when holiday,LOL) with 24 hours charging my phone

after personally trying both optimus 2x and atrix for more than 2 weeks each. " brother has atrix and i got optimus 2x from my friend to use it since he doesnt want it " got galaxy s2", i would go for nexus S
the reason is simple. this is all marketing bs. there is nothing that can run on galaxy s2 or atrix or optimus 2x that cant run on nexus S . everything runs perfectly fine on nexus S. no lag. perfectly fine.
the only thing that wont run are the nvidia games. but as far as i know. they are all been ported to other phones.
however. what broke it up was skype. to know that skype was released for video chat only on 4 phones and nexus is one of them. made me note something. i have to get that phone. not because of skype. but because clearly. its a dev platform. when skype tested their video call. they tested it on nexus. even with the mods. skype till now cant run video calls on optimus 2x and tegra. do to the fact tegra cant read some codes. i think mods are looking into it but i dont have high hopes at all. because this is not the first time dev get stuck on something like that. " same code "
if you are talking about dual core phones as galaxy s2. then this is another story.
GS2 is superior phone. there is no doubt about it. better and bigger screen. thinner, faster. but u will also get stuck with 2 things
- google updates... u wont get any till samsung give their blessing
- some problems running some games " again. some issue with reading codes. while this is being sported out by devs here, its still not perfect. "

where i can download chainfire 3d ?
also. i dont advise overclocking your phone. it shorten the lfie of your cpu/gpu.

i would definitely choose the Nexus S .. its a powerful beast ..
1, 1ghz processor is enough for everything
2, gpu 540 - can handle all the games - much stronger than the most used adreno 200 or 205
3, updates directly from google! - how fast your phone is depends also on the OS ..
4,you get comparable scores when you tweak your phone vs dualcores -sometimes even more
5,the chipset used in Nexus S has one of the best audio chips used in a device - regarding that Voodoo Sound - it seriously killed my ipod, my Hi-Fi at home .. i just use that ..
6, you want more? you can play 720p MKV on this hardware - you cant do that on most dualcore - coz they miss the hq mkv profile - diceplayer
7,skype video calls? here we go
8, NFC - the future is already there
u know google decided to make "the phone" and when they do one .. they mostly put all the best stuff into it from that "time frame" ..

Well, I going to change my phone when NExus prime is out, and I gonna sell my nexus S. Haha. I wont protect my phone just to expand it lifespan, I want a maximum enjoy, that's the reason why I choose to buy smartphone. LOL

I agree.
NVIDIA Tegra2 dual core : Video decoder is too bad...Hard to play H.264 High profile.
Snapdragon dual core : Video is not so good but can play 720p MKV using diceplayer.
Exynos dual core : GREAT Video decoder. it can play 1080p High profile.
if you have HDMI-out cable, your phone turn into video player.

Why games like this ?

Hi Guys
I think the games are too slow on android with medium ram like 512mb ram even in iPhone4 and 4s and even windows phone phpnes like lumia phpnes with 512 ram and the games too smooth and much faster but in android too lagy and you need to clear mempey close apps then lanch the game but it will return to be laggy cuz the apps will relaunxh automatically what is the reason i think the reason its by keep the apps launched in background please i need opinions and replies
?

512 is not medium ram. That is the minimum ram android needs to run. You will not be able to do alot with a such a low end device.

512mb is the absolute bargain basement low-end amount of ram that you're going to get in an Android phone these days. There's really no reason to be using a phone like that anymore, especially if you're into gaming. Even my son's piece-of-crap LG Viper has 1gb of ram. I guarantee you can get a better phone than you're using off eBay for not much money.

Probably because the iPhone runs a totally different OS than an Android phone. Apple optimized the crap out of the OS to prioritize a consistently smooth UI at the expense of a lot of other things.

Since u hv alot of money to assemble your PC, why dint u go for i5 gen3-quad core, u ll save alot of power consumption as well. Also get one more 4GB ddr3 ram. It will boost up ur multi tasking ability while gaming

Now listen, i5 3330p the cheapest latest gen one (that time now it is haswell) was 13-14000 I got the i3 for 6500 almost half the price and performance is more than 70 percent, I have never nnor I plan on playing any kind of strategy game, I like fps, 3rd person shooter,racing, soccer,tennis and every other genre other than strategy kind of games.. all the action based games are GPU limited changing the cpu will have less than 10% difference, I got the 650 ti boost which is 5-10% slower than 660 of price 16,000 which I have surpassed by overclocking.. I got the gpu for 11,000 an amzing deal it is not around 13,500..also about the ram, currently there is no game than can fully saturate 4gb ram if nothing else is opened.. maybe next gen will be able to.. I will buy a 2gb at the end of session to make it 3x2gb...I would have bough 6300 but it was not avaiable it is a very good cpu but requires a an aftermarket cooler for stabel and quiet function.. Here in india everything of AMD is too overpriced the best deal is 7870 and 6300..I have maxed out each game that I have played, I haven't played crysis 3 or 2, basically I had around 17000-18,000 for cpu and gpu can you make out anything better than that for action gaming like fps,racing etc

U r a moderate gamer, so GPU is what matters to you..and u have done a fair deal with it. My previous post was with context to multimedia usage. Benchmark tests shows that core2duo is evn better than i3.
Also 1 more thing i wanna ask, is ur SMPS capable enough to handle gpu load ?

Can you please give me the source from where you found out that any core 2 duo is beter at anything than i3 3220, even if it is better at surfing i3 with hyperthreading is the best cpu till i52nd gen it is better than i5 ist gen, and also my smps is cosair cx430 with a more than enough amperage of 28A on 12v lane i.e I can get 384W at best for CPU and GPU also gpu has a 6pin powerconnector. I3 can get 60W at best and gpu 110-120w I have a huge margin...Also why am I moderate gamer, (is it cause I don't like 1 genre of games??)

with no offense, u surely knows all about "heavy" terms notations Just google the comparison of core2duo and i3. Experience says that if i have core2duo, i dont need i3. Rest u read blogs around web.
Secondly, gtx650 needs 400W input(verify on nvidia site). your smps is entry model smps for gaming. But it ur pc is working well on heavy games, then it's alright
now stop this discussion. The page is for android, not PC

All right this is the last post(if you want to continue I can), firstly the main difference in core 2 duo and i3 is hyperthreading in which 2 cores are emulated as 4 cores which is very effective it is the main performance booster.. and secondly the smps thing you mentioned I am using a very low power intel cpu with TDP of 55 and it takes 65W at best the and gpu is 650 ti boost not 650, it's power requirement is 450 W(with 140 Watt Max Power Consumption) which I know. People in india use very cheap smps like zebronics and I ball those just show that they are 500 or 600W but deliver less than 300W it is a known fact. then main thing to look for is the amperage on +12v lane, from here the most powerhungry parts the cpu and gpu take power, Also I bought the latest gen green 1 tb hdd which saves somewhat power saver and has very good sequential buy they take power from _+5v lane they can be powered from the cheapest smps.. I can give you an excellant example here http://www.flipkart.com/zebronic-ze...ZZNG&ref=9abf7ce0-7f32-4110-b5a6-1cb81f9e1248 this crappy 450W zebronics smps has 16A on 12 v lane i.e. 16x12=192W I can assure you than it won't even deliver 130-140W.. that cx430v2 has 28A on 12v lane with 80% efficiency, I will surely get 340-350 w atleast but only 65+150 is required=215W is required.. I hope I cleared some doubts about the smps things that moost people have they don't invest in smps then their powerhungry components start to deteriorate..Also accept my friend request..the main thing that seperates i3 and core2duo is 4 virtual cores vs 2 cores, faster IPC, better efficiency..

512mb still enough for android today?

I want to buy a new phone, looking at some dualcore models with mali 400 graphics, but only 512mb ram.
Do you guys think 512mb ram will still do the job in ics/jb when i want to game a bit? Mostly clash of clans, temple run and subway surfers.

This is pretty much the best way to sum this up. If you're just looking for an everyday experience - it is enough.

Depending on what frequencies your carrier uses, check out the Blu Life Play. There are two models; one does 850/1900 MHz, the other I think does 850/2100 MHz for 3G. It has 4GB of internal memory, however it takes a 64GB without issue and supports install apps (and app data!!!!) to external memory (like Gingerbread phones and before used to do). It's also dual SIM and does DC-HSPA+ if your carrier supports it.
It runs (almost) stock Android 4.2 and it's only like $215 USD without contract.

The cheap Huawei Y300 is also equiped with only 512MB RAM.
It's running games pretty good with apps like whatsapp and swiftkey in the background.
Of course you can forget multitasking with many apps running ... or opening a lot of sites in the browser.

512 mb is okay for Jellybean, but it definitely depends on the use case. The games you mentioned run fine as long as the screen is not HD. I ran NEO GEO games and Ridge Racer 3 on PS1 emulator and they ran fine on 512 mb RAM + A7 dual core at 1.3 ghz with Mali 400 GPU but can't have many apps running on background or many tabs open in brower.

[Q] About my new tablet

Hey guys, ive just received brand new Asus memo pad as a Christmas present! The thing is I had my Samsung galaxy s3 for quite some time and I really enjoyed it but since both of these systems are operating on android, I cannot seem but feel like I got something that I already have... I know the screen is bigger and it has a lilac more RAM and not to mention Quad core processor! Even my 3 year old laptop has dual core and I have no idea where the heck in the tablet you can use such a processor...
So my question is... is there any awesome stuff that I could use my tablet for, which I cannot use my phone with? And perhaps would it be possible to use some kind of software to boost my laptop's processor when connected to tablet??

Well basically you can enjoy playing games and watch videos even more on a tablet than on a phone.. And those apps that are optimized for Tablets only will take up your entire screen and make use of that by using it to display more texts and information.. And also there are some apps that are for Tablets only - so you can use them too.. And I think that's pretty much it..

Thanks for the reply, since you've mentioned that there are some appsnthat can only run on tablets, I was wondering could you actually name a few?

list of good tablet specific apps
as far as i get your query it is in relation to the abilities of a tablet as compared to a phone
a phone can do anything your tablet can do...but a tablet cant do the same
but.....
1. it has got a bigger screen size so better multimedia experience
2. in my experience a phone screen no matter how big (read less than 6 inches) always feels a bit cramped even when compared to a tablet with a 7 inch screen
3. you've got some great apps out there that look and feel better on tablets than phones
eg. office suite, netflix, kingsoft office, trulia
you wanted to know something you can do with a quad core processor
try these on a quad core and a dual core. you'll get to know the difference pretty fast-
mass effect, modern combat, real football, the dark knight, browsing the internet, watching shows and movies online etc etc
there's a lot to do on tablets
carry one to conferences. believe me it is better to use a tab in a conference than a phone

Dude, I don't mean to sound rude or anything but go search Google play for these apps... They are available on Android phones and tablets but I find the experience much better on tablets than phones.. That's what I've been trying to tell you
Not just these you'll find many more apps and great games on Google play just like these with great gaming experience and awesome graphics!!!

I have tried but all of these apps are not found on the google play store...

hmmmm...strange
it may be an issue of compatibility. go to www.play.google.com log in there and find these kinda apps. go to the install option, if these apps are compatible with your device you'll be able to send a link to the device. if not, then you can always find an apk here and there and then install them
but remember to pay for them, RESPECT DEVELOPERS ALWAYS
by the way, here and there refers to other app store for eg the amazon app store
good luck with the app hunting

if you can boost your laptop's performance with your tablet, then you should join Microsoft or intel, that should be some parallel computing technology enjoy you tablet with some fantastic games, i guess
