If your penis is so small you need to compare a phone with your tablet.
Yes, then you got beaten.
I for my part never understood why anyone would need that power in a phone.
Okay maybe some people like to charge their device twice a day...

I laugh at everyone that say they are going to wait for the "ultimate phone".
You might as well just never buy a phone then, since not even 6-months later something WILL be better then what you have.
The only thing lately that hasn't been changing so fast in the tech world has been TV and Desktop computer parts.
My SLI GTX 580 setup (which is coming close to 3 years old), is just as fast as a single GTX680, if not faster in some cases!

The note 2 already surpassed it in performance. I have both and I love my TF, but the performance of the note 2 is considerably better.
Beyond that the DNA(though I'll never buy HTC again) surpasses even the note 2 in performance.

I-Dig!
WOW... You said it all! Good one...
You will most likley pay 600.00 and a 40 year service contract wid the carrier.
Lets see, hmm, how long is my service contract with the TF700t... Oh yeah I don't have one.....

The Galaxy S4's specs are just speculation, but I am sure most of us here know that there are many devices that are CURRENTLY available on the market that can easily surpass the tf700 just by comparing specs. Tegra 3 was already outdated the moment the Galaxy S3 was announced. Just to name a few, any devices with Snapdragon S4 Pro and Exynos 5 (LG Optimus G, LG Nexus 4, HTC Droid DNA, J Butterfly, Galaxy S3, Note 2, Note 10.1, etc...) will surely give you better performance (both overall and graphical performance) than any Tegra 3-powered devices (including the tf700).

all the samsung/exynos devices you mention there are Exynos 4 devices and those have the Cortex a9 cores as Tegra3, i guess gpu wise the Exynos 4 mali 400 could be faster
And if we speak now of a new 8 core exynos then i guess we also should speak that we have a 5 core A9 in our system!! the Exynos 4 of the Galaxy S3 is only a 4 core...
But thats all crap and marketing the Exynos 5 Octa is just a quad core you system/os will never see 8 cores only 4 just as we see only 4 and not 5

I remember people saying that about 1ghz phones. Then dual core phones. In 6 to 12 months quad core phones will be the norm and someone will undoubtedly say "There is no need for 8 cores in a mobile device".

it will be a while before we get real 8 cores in mobile devices..
even the next arm chip: http://www.arm.com/products/processors/cortex-a50/cortex-a57-processor.php
is designed to be a quadcore setup in single processor (they do support clusters of those again but i guess thats for servers)
And we only get now the A15, Nexus 10" being the first, no phones yet.

Oops, I was thinking about the Nexus 10 when I was talking about Exynos 5. You're right, it should be Exynos 4 instead. Nevertheless, it does not change my point about Tegra 3's being outdated. For instance, when it comes to memory performance, Tegra 3 only has single channel memory controller as opposed to dual channels found in almost anything else (from Apple, Qualcomm to Samsung), a fact that is readily taken advantage of by Amazon when they introduced the Kindle Fire HD (TI OMAP 4 vs Tegra 3). Overall, if you follow articles on Anandtech about mobile SoCs, Exynos 4 gives you much better performance and more power efficient.

There are two types of electronic devices, experimental and obsolete. If you always waited for the next great thing you'd still be using a rotary dial phone.

haha true. Quad core exynos is very snappy. Games are smooth and had the better effects. ie. blurr effect on Nova 3, Modern combat 4. I havent felt the need to do anything to it besides root. My s3 now seems so outdated lol.

Unless you start looking at the screen resolution, of course. Any Gamer knows that a lower resolution uses less resources, and thus gives more frames per second.

The best dual sim android phone

Please recommend some the best and easy to root
I have B92M, but dissapointed with only 2000 mAh battery, with often 3G WCDMA internet surfing battery is over for about 5 hours.....crazy......
My liking is :
Xiaomi MI-2
* Qualcomm 8064 CPU (Quadcore)
* 2GB RAM
* 16GB ROM
* Graphics processing comparable to the XBOX 360 (Adreno 320 graphics chip)
* 3000 mAh battery upgrades
* 4.3 inches high PPI retina screen, 1280x720 resolution. The touch screen to do (the OGS / TOL), the single glass fit technology, Ultra Narrow design to protect the glass.
, but unfortunately it is single sim....:crying:
Which dual sim smartphone is really close to him?
Thanks

[Discussion] GalaxyNoteIII -Exynos vs. Qualcomm

Hi
Discuss and Compare Note III Exynos vs. Qualcomm
General Performance
- Performance of Gaming
- Performance of (using another apps)
Battery Life
& etc.
Note III N9000 will brings real Octa-Core /Exynos 5 Octa 5420 (N9000)
It means u have 4+4 cores to work with true 3GB of RAM; it seems best thing for multi-taskers...
and it might get best cpu performance (highest benchmark) even with bad hardware calibration!
Adreno 330 N9005 (Snapdragon) & Mali-T628 MP6 N9000 (Exynos) are almost similar
both have OpenCL, OpenGL ES 3.0, Renderscript Compute and etc.
infact thr s no technical reasons to get which one is better
so in my opinion in depend on ROM how to use GPU
S-Lag
the famous lag in launcher of galaxy device (touch wiz) > not found anything about it yet
But it s depend on time when do heavy using. so nothing to compare
Battery and charge
both Snapdragon 800 & Exynos 5420 (little.BIG) have energy efficient feature but there s better energy usage in N9005 (Snapdragon800) related to this video, Watch and some another report.
(will update with more choice and result)
- - - - -

Qualcomm version wins hands down...maybe not in benchmarks but it will get cm for shure

These threads are pretty useless,we don't even have any information about real life performance of Exynos Note 3 and since it is certainly first soc of its own type ,we will have to see.
No offence to OP or any one

it will work months after releasing the phone
and we have info about phone from preview version of note3 (~80% of performance and etc)
we have lots of benchmark and performance report
display quality, sound quality
So if u didn't check them search it NOW and then discuss here
:good:

which version do you think it will have the most dev support?

Even though i live in India where we are going to get the exynos version, I'd prefer the snapdragon version. Im new here, but doesnt 1.3 and 1.9GHz seem less for a high end premium smartphone? Also Snapdragon will get cm for sure,

as u can check benchmarks of Octa version of Galaxy S4 u can realize that Octa-core of course has better performance than quad
the final quad-core antutu of note3 will be ~34,000 and octa will be 35,000 (at least)
:good:

Some of the things I value are stability and low heat. I'm experiencing possible stability issues with Nexus 7 (2013) based on Snapdragon S4 Pro/600 where on level 10 in Modern Combat 3 it's not only heating up the device making it very warm but the game is also exiting consistently when this happens. I don't have that issue with the Exynos based Note II so I'm leaning towards preferring the Exynos 5420 in the Note III. Btw, Exynos is fabbed by Samsung while Snapdragon is fabbed by TSMC. IMHO, Samsung fab is better.

Sammy will include HMP in their octacore processors through a software upgrade .so all samsung octacore devices will become true octacore devices
So guess which will have high performance? Real octacore exynos 5420 or sd800??

While a cool feature, I'm not sure how many CPU bottlenecks are going to be multithreaded to the point that adding the four slower cores will provide a substantial benefit. I also have concerns that with all eight cores running, heat throttling would kick in pretty quickly. My guess would be that, both in benchmarks and in real-world situations, the 800 is usually going to come out on top.

In HMP this is what really gonna happen:
Small processes like texting,calling , etc... low powered A7 cpu's will be switched
Big processes like gaming , Benchmarking , 1080p video capturing etc... both A7 and A15 cores will be combined together and throttle the device upto the max perfomance
So the device will be power efficient and we can clearly see the dominated benchmark scores and RLP over sd 800 (this would be pretty like the perfomance b/w a dual cored device and a quad cored device)

Don't you think the developers who know how to develop AOSP already know? They are WAY ahead of you. If you checked the dev forum instead of being lazy you would see that there is already an alpha of CyanogenMod 14.1 which is built from sourcecode.
The problem is not MTK sources, it's Redmi Note 4 sources. Drivers for the camera and the fingerprint reader and stuff like that.
Sorry if you think I'm being rude, but this is borderline a troll/spam thread. You get people half excited from the title then share a repo link that any child could find in Google.
Please leave the development to the developers.

And yet you decided to try your luck and get another MTK device?
Most of us are aware that getting an MTK device means no AOSP. We get them because they have a high price-to-performance ratio.
Personally I am glad to move away from the Xperia series; it had every AOSP fork under the sun being made for it but they were ALL buggy. It's just torture. If you really want that kind of developer stuff, you should get a Google device.

It may be faster, but it's not better overall. SD 625 is based on newer architecture (14nm) which makes it cooler in load and offer your phone much better battery life. If you don't do serious gaming, the difference in speed is not even noticable (Also SD 650 is gonna throttling much sooner because of higher temperatures, which is point where SD 625 can match it's performance). And about ROMs... You can't be serious! RN3 Pro is year older than RN4X, which is still new device. Of course more people have it therefore more people develop for it. Give it some time, and RN4X gonna excede RN3Pro (even now there is developement for all ROM's I'm interested in and a lot more). Also 625 is newer than 650 so it's gonna be supported longer.

"Better" is subjective. For starters, my X20 Note 4 does not overheat (in fact this is the first I've ever heard about thermal issues on this thing). Secondly, battery life is a non-issue for me - I get ~5 hours SoT which is more than enough to last me a whole day, even two or three if I don't get to charge one night for whatever reason.
The SD is actually probably the same in gaming sine the MTK GPU is underpowered, but in the CPU department the Helio X20 beats the pants off of the SD. You say the speed is not noticeable yet you just admitted you don't even have a Note 4 MTK variant so how do you know? The numbers speak for themselves - the Geekbench score is just too big for it to not be noticeable when under load.
ROM's are a moot point, they don't interest me - only an idiot (or, I suppose, a former fan who regrets their purchase) buys a Xiaomi device and gets rid of MIUI. You can get a Nexus or last-gen Xperia device or whatever for cheaper if you want that crap.
Anyway, you said you don't even have an MTK device, yet you're in here criticizing it, that's like a perfect example of trolling. I'm unsubbing, not gonna waste my time on this anymore.
Personally, I got the Note 4 at the time (right near launch) because I needed a new phone RIGHT NOW, I wasn't going to wait ~6 months for a device that's the same price and only a little bit better - if I waited six months I could of saved more and gotten a high end device. But the SD variant only has two things going for it - better battery life, and support for non-MIUI ROM's - two things that I and many others don't need.

You Said it all Dan..but many users think they know better...

You come in here and trash-talk a device/chipset you don't even have, and expect us to value your opinion? Please.
"Better" is subjective. For starters, my X20 Note 4 does not overheat (in fact this is the first I've ever heard about thermal issues on this thing). Secondly, battery life is a non-issue for me - I get ~5 hours SoT which is more than enough to last me a whole day, even two or three if I don't get to charge one night for whatever reason.
The SD is actually probably the same in gaming sine the MTK GPU is underpowered, but in the CPU department the Helio X20 beats the pants off of the SD.

You should read more and write less. I was comparing SD 650 and SD 625. Didn't even mention MTK or RN4 (nikel). So your whole post is actually pointless.

You were comparing SD chipset in the wrong thread. This is a Mediatek subforum. So actually, his post is not pointless.

True. It was OT, but I just responded to someone else's comment. Didn't come with it on my own.

Don't you think the developers who know how to develop AOSP already know? They are WAY ahead of you. If you checked the dev forum instead of being lazy you would see that there is already an alpha of CyanogenMod 14.1 which is built from sourcecode.
The problem is not MTK sources, it's Redmi Note 4 sources. Drivers for the camera and the fingerprint reader and stuff like that.

OK let me get this straight. The culprit here is xiaomi and not mediatek for not releasing sources? Is there any chance xiaomi will release sources? How come snapdragon note 4 has so many roms? Does that mean xiaomi has released sources for it? Has mediatek released sources for this device? Sorry for asking

Neither note 4 has official source from Xiaomi. Difference is that Snapdragon devices can be made to boot from CAF source from Qualcomm due to sheer experience, and the same has not been accomplished with Mediatek's Helio X20 source. That and xda has a massssssssuve preference towards Qualcomm anyways due to repeat positive experiences, so most developers spend the time on Qualcomm devices.

Do you not know that the combo of cpu, camera, soc, on the redmi note 4 is simillar to a lot of other androids lol. And those other androids have their sources released. You know where jm going with this. Redmi note 4 snapdragon having a lot of custom roms is in no way a big thanks to the redmi note ⁴ community itself. Get real.

personally I dislike miui as it has no support for advanced USB OTG features such as gamepad compatibility or being used as a usb keyboard/touchpad mouse for your pc . though at least the MTK chipset on this phone supports 10bit h265 and vp9 which makes it good for long trips. provided most of your trip isn't in direct sunlight.

OnePlus X or vivo Y20

I want to buy a mobile phone. Which is better for buy? Please give me advice.

OnePlus X from 2015?

mines is either galaxy s3 or galaxy note for t-mobile Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA Premium App

The OnePlus Nord has an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G SoC, alongside up to 12GB of LPDDR4x RAM. Vivo V20, however, carries an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G SoC, paired with 8GB of RAM. within the end, Nord features a better processor and it's also future-proof because it has 5G connectivity. For more information review this informatin https://productz.com/en/vivo-y20/p/4eKn

I also have tried y20. its battery performance is excellent.

one plus x

from which perspective you need comparison bro, according to speed text comparison I mostly prefered One Plus and advised others to go with One Plus, but mainly in "front Camera" Compersion no doubt Vivo is good just because of its beautyCAM features, But if you could find a phone that has same specification as Vivo or One Plus, then my suggestion is still same you have to go with the One Plus, No doubt in India this is best company ever, unionwells france

hey bro with respect to the gaming experience you should watch youTube reviews because I have never played any game except Cricket + Snooker, so accordingly to my experience YouTube review is the best option before purchasing the mobile.
