I know this is not about the Nexus S, but there's no denying that anything dual-core related is inexorably related to the Nexus S and its lack of one. So:
LG announces dual-core phone for early 2011: http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/15/lg-optimus-2x-first-dual-core-smartphone-launches-with-android/
No coincidence that it's being announced right before Nexus S officially launches.
Anyone going to change their minds?
I've known the LG Star/Optimus 2X was coming soon since AndroidCentral first mentioned it awhile back. I plan to get my Nexus S anyway.
still getting the Nexus S
still getting a nexus but any word on the carrier?
No, it's not related to the Nexus S in any way. Why? Because it's not backed up by Google. Plain and simple.
It's going to Korea and then the rest of Asia and Europe after. No mention of any other releases. Sticking with the Nexus S.
The phone is also quite ugly.
Nexus S. I'll probably have it for a year, at the least.
Why would I hold off on the NS in hopes of the Star being compatible w/ Tmobile 4G?

I misread, Android supports dual core, but the application has to be re-written to take advantage of it.
Have Android 2.3 dual core support?
no support
Hi Guys
As per my understanding, android 2.3 does not support dual core CPU, so why would LG release a dual core CPU hardware on android !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
According to AndroidEncyclopedia.com:
This new series of multi core processors destined for the smartphone market will be sampling in the first quarter of 2011 and will enter mass production sometime in the second half of the same year. This comes really as a bit of a disappointment really as the Tegra 2 processor is already out and is kind of setting new standards on every test which has the ability to optimally use the multi-core technology. The biggest inconvenience the processors really faces is the lack of proper Android support when it comes to recognizing the multi-core architecture and thus using it to its full potential.

I heard that about Honeycomb, not Gingerbread.
I love tech (especially the rapid growing mobile space) but i'd rather not have the very first dual core phone on the market. i'd rather wait and see how the OS (honeycomb and up), app devs, etc utilize it AND i'd wait to hear back about battery life.
LG and Android may really become a big player in 2011: http://phandroid.com/2010/12/16/exclusive-lg-b-android-phone-super-slim-super-bright/
Nexus L 2011, anyone?
Wow that phone looks insane. Having said that, it would be better if it was an official Google device. If it isn't I'll be sticking to the Nexus S for the foreseeable future until the next one releases.
Dual cores sound nice and all but single cores are beginning to be perfected and can really run android without any hitches, upgrading to a dual core just to have one wouldn't really give us a huge boost in performance yet.
Finally I can play Crysis on my Phone with Ultra settings. Really? Its cool and all but how fast do they want your apps to open up and your angrybirds to load up on a freaking phone, In my opinion its over kill never the less cool I guest.
I been waiting for any news or leaks about the true Evo successor. Was looking forward with Sprint's "look what we have under are sleeve" big event. and I was very disappointed then I read HTC was going to make a announcement on MWC what they shown was a major let down yet again.
Now, since the Evo 2 isn't coming anytime soon. looking at all these high tech phones coming out which one will you say its the your
top 3 Evo successor Options:
My picks:
1. Lg Optimus 3d
http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/15/lg-optimus-3ds-omap-4-benchmarked-pulls-ahead-of-exynos-and-te/
2. Motorola Atrix
3. Samsung Galaxy S2
i dont think we need much just a solid hardware upgrade maybe dual processors and a better gpu but the overall design of the evo is perfect imo
the longer we wait for the evo 2, the better it will be

By then, Samsung and LG will have better phones too. HTC is playing catching up.
PS. My name is HondaCop and I approve this message.
I agree with HondaCop. But then again, I still have hopes that we will have a successor by June.

How did this happen?? HTC used to have the latest and greatest. everyone wanted HTC. Now, they're being beaten by LG and Moto.....really!? come on HTC we still believe!
anyways, i would lean towards the LG. the only part that turns me off is the damn 3D push. I don't want to waste any resources on 3D anything. it's a worthless tech that i think will fizzle out eventually. I do really like that phones are becoming so powerful. I've started taking my laptop with me less and less as my phone becomes more powerful.
<rant>
I also want to know whats with Sprints handset selection team. Do they just take 364 days off a year?? what gives?? The other carriers are getting solid handsets and we're left to speculation. (not that i would ever leave sprint, i just wish they would listen to their loyal users)

No. HTC was always like this. Great/decent looking phones with crap internals. The early Snapdragon release was their one shining moment. Now they've been passed and are still holding on the old A8 based Scorpion. Even their newer dual cores are based on the same core where as everyone else is using newer, faster Cortex A9 cores for their dual cores. Just look at their tablet, a single core A8 based Scorpion. It's back to business as usual for HTC, and not so much because their other components (cams) were never that great.
Nividia announced quad core phone for the end of the year.
I may just skip dual core phones all together.

again ill say this, the evo2 is a myth, nobody said we would even get one.
I agree.. as of right now, the EVO2 is a myth.
I'm happy with my EVO for now.. it is sad to see HTC is not at all keeping up. I won't and will never buy anything Samsung. I have no clue about LG.. their phones would be promising if wasn't for the blatant touchwiz UI ripoff. Out of all the UIs to try and copy, they pick that one? The one that tries to look as close to an iphone as they possibly can? Yuck
I am starting to wonder if I will have to look at other brands tho .. which is very sad =(
im sure sprint will get some type of higher end android phone but when? who knows! i do know if that lg 3d phone comes ill but that.

You keep spitting this nonsense when clearly HTC has stated their new chipsets are based off the A9.

Whats so wrong with the EVO?
Yea, other companies have released better phones this year but they were playing catch up to the EVO game.
Im sure when Sprint releases something new, it will be competitive with the rest of the game.
I also have hope for an EVO 2 of some sort. Hopefully no later than 3rd Quarter. I mean, isn't the EVO basically the most successful phone for Sprint in a very long time? Why wouldn't they milk that for all it's worth? Evo has more name recognition that any Sprint based phone I've ever known.
I find it amusing that people are so ready to jump ship. The Evo is a perfectly capable phone. Hell, even the Hero is still a very decent phone. Combine either with a good ROM and they are both really good. I will be happy with my Evo through the duration of my contract. By then the quad core phones with higher end GPUs will be out. I will worry about a new phone then.

The 4th gen ones due in 2012 are. They will be using the same modified A8 Scorpion cores for this years 3rd gen dual cores. BTW, A9's are roughly 25% faster.

Hmmmmm Well reading has brought me to the following......
QSD8672. 8672 will be based on Cortex A9 design and also will include the Adreno 220 GPU. Unfortunately, phones using this processor will arrive at earliest Q3 of 2011, if not Q4. If HTC Sabor gets released in Q3 of 2011, it could use this processor, which should outperform all of the above. (a close call when compared with Samsung’s Orion based phones).
I expect Verizon to release both Motorola Droid T2 and HTC Scorpion (T2 first) during Q1 of 2011. T-Mobile will counter it with HTC Glacier in Q1. Sprint will wait, and release Sabor in either Q2 or Q3 and possibly use more powerful processor (Qualcomm QSD8672) than their competitors. All carriers will release some flavor of Galaxy S2 during Q2 and Q3. AT&T will probably release a dual-core Windows Phone 7 device during Q2 of 2011 as well.
Performance-wise, I’d rank them in this order:
HTC Sabor for Sprint
Samsung Galaxy S2 for all carriers
HTC Glacier and Scorpion for T-Mobile and Verizon respectively
Motorola Droid T2 for Verizon

Old article is old, you'll be waiting until probably mid 2012 for the fourth gen Qualcomms. Read their latest schedules/PRs.
HTC will be lagging behind. We'll probably see their A8 based dual cores in the summer, and a few weeks later you'll probably start hearing of even better A9 based quad core Tegra 3 devices.

I bought my Galaxy SII, a few days back. At that time i had option to choose between I9100 and I9100G, as the vendor had both. So, i preferred I9100 over I9100G.
Many of you, may have got I9100G, recently, as it is the new stock available. Samsung is trying to replace the original SII, i.e. I9100 with I9100G, in the markets of INDIA, MALAYSIA & SINGAPORE.
This is to fulfill the demands of GALAXY SII, which has increased vastly. So, to fulfill the demand, before it dies out, SAMSUNG has quietly slipped I9100G version, which has PowerVR TI OMAP 4430 processor, and not the Exynos 4210.
So, what i have researched and found out is that, it is better, if you can get an I9100, before it extincts, instead of getting stuck with "G".
By no means, i am saying that, I9100G, is bad, what i am trying to say here is that, its not as good as I9100's Exynos.
Some major differences which i found out are:-
1. Galaxy SII I9100 will be the first in the GALAXY family, to get an ICS update.
2. Exynos processors still have huge RAW power.
3. The isuue is GPU used in I9100G has PowerVR540 TI OMAP 4430, at 300 MHz,which is single core and weak, compared to MALI400MP+, which is quadcore inside Exynos.
******I am talking about GPU, and not single or dual core CPU******
4. Regarding future updates, I9100G users may be isolated, as I9100G is not replacing original I9100 in EU, and so many other countries.
5. Also, the development support for I9100, is much much much greater than I9100G. As majority of the community still uses I9100.
6. The overheating problem is very less in I9100G, as compared to I9100.
7. Battery, too performs well in I9100G.
8. But, both overheating, and battery improvement, doesn't comes without cost. I9100G doesn't gets overheated, because its cpu is clocked max at 1.008 Ghz, unlike 1.2Ghz in I9100. Same, helps with improved battery.
Well, these were the major issues which i pointed out.
Also, here i am just trying to convey knowledge, which i gained to others.I have not posted this to decide whats superior, its just a comaprison.
Any Opinions, or views is warmly welcomed.
Nice post. I suggest you head to Indian Galaxy SII owner thread for more details.
The Indian I9100G got an official 2.3.6 update via Samsung KIES and I9100 DIDNT get any update. Its still stuck on 2.3.3 in India, where as most of the world got 2.3.6 1-2 weeks back. So in short, Samsung has stopped supporting FW update for I9100 via KIES and OTA.
Check the thread for more details. Members are posting Samsung India on Facebook, Twitter, their customer support chat etc etc. Only way to upgrade Indian I9100 is to flash European Firmware.

I9100G is better for porting cyanogenmod etc.
TI is a very good Soc vendor
Sent from my GT-I9100
^Yeah, that is a plus point of I9100G. The TI OMAP processor is very dev friendly, thanks to its source being released and its presence in many phones like Optimus 2X, Galaxy Nexus, Nexus S, Moto Razr etc. This is one of the reasons why 2.3.6 update of I9100G was released earlier than I9100 in India. I bet ICS porting will also be easy as Galaxy Nexus is also using Ti OMAP (4460 instead of 4430) but same Power VR GPU.
Expect ports of all major ROMS soon. CM9 and MIUI ports are already confirmed.
Also, the I9100G sound quality is better than I9100, thanks to OMAP processor. We all know about the audio quality of S2 from the Anandtech article, which criticizes the Ymaha DAC used on I9100.
The Mali GPU isn't quad core, doesn't mean it says 4 cores its quad, e.g my amd gpu has 600 cores, so whats that?
The Mali GPU is a single core in the SGS2, it is better than the SGX543 which Apple A5 chip uses but has 2 SGX543 which is why it outperforms all GPU even Tegra 3 which atm is the best single GPU.

Both the phones got pro's as well as con's.
I9100 still got better development support, as it is available in majority of countries. Whereas, I9100G will only be pushed to India, Vietnam, Malaysia & Singapore Markets.
Updates which are being developed, will be first pushed to I9100, as its community is vast.
It doesn't matters, if an update is being pushed to India or not.Actually, this is the point of us being here, that if we don't get something, and are not satisfied, we can look at development at xda. A EU firmware, or any other firmware, doesn't really matters.
Same thing applies, with I9100G, it really doesn't matters, what you have got with it, there is always development, as long as devs support it.
For now, I9100 got better support, as it was here from a long time. Now, that I9100G is here, it too will get supported.
Rest TI OMAP4430 PoverVR540, too is on par with Exynos 4210.
I9100G replacing I9100 is not true, Until the stock arrives for I9100 , the"G" series will be replacing it.

The thing is, to meet the demands of I9100, Samsung pushed I9100G, quietly, so that the demand doesn't dies out.

And here i was worrying so much that ive gotten myself a i9100g. After hearing that the CPU was only clocked at 1ghz, and was built with a completely different chipset, i felt cheated. I was also worried about the amount of DEV support that my phone would be receiving...But after reading this thread a little i guess it gave me some confidence in my phone
Is there a reason why the i9100g version was only clocked at 1gz? because ive clocked it to 1.2ghz most of the time...im afraid that might cause problem
Im from Malaysia here.. its a quite a debate seeing galaxy nexus potential users saying the exynos aint that superb compared to the G variant.. but im not seeing any ICS yet to it despite it having omap just like galaxy nexus itself..
And they compared about the DAC.. is yamaha dac is that bad and is the one in the G variant is damn good till voodoo sound applicable? Thats a debate indeed
I own a 9100 non G and happy with the support it has from the devs for now.. best to say that for now if ur flashing custom roms and kernel, go for the original sgs2 instead of the G variant.. thats all.. the rest is too argumentative

I9100G , is clocked at 1ghz, is a good thing for "G".
It doesn't overheats, easily, as I9100 variant.
Also, the battery life is better.
Dear XDA,
What is the actual reason for SGS IV (and many other phones) having different processors in the US version vs international versions? I'm kind of ashamed to have to ask this but I have never actually seen the reason written down anywhere.
It seems it would be very expensive to build/support different hardware versions in the "same" phone. I know there are different radio technologies but that doesn't seem like it would require a change in processor. Please let me know what you know.
Signed Curious
There isn't any confirmation we are not sure only speculating ATM

Ting,
Though the Octa core marketing didnt catch my attention, i would much prefer the international model processor due to the PowerVR SGX544MP2 GPU compare to a last year Adreno 320 GPU.
What confuse me is that Samsung had shipped their Galaxy Note 2 variants with Exynos processor in the US but why cant the Galaxy S 4 ?

Last time with the s3 situation they were having problems getting lte Woking on an Exynos processor they solved in the note 2 this time the problem could have sprung up again as this isn't a traditional processor or it could be supply issues
S4 INFO
You can see here which countries will get the octa core version and which countries will get the Snapdragon version

Indeed, it's the Moto G itself
It would be interesting to see a lower powered nexus like device, they were originally released for developers, but I guess with such a big market of lower end devices most apps need to be able to run on moto g hardware (if that makes sense)

If Moto G becomes a great success then maybe in March or April they may release Moto G+ with Custom Moto Chip like Moto X and 2 or 1.5 Gig of RAM . What do you all think

To my surprise the MotoG performs very well with its current "powerhouse"...
Was a bit sceptic when learned it uses Snapdragon 400, but 4core (same processor is in the S4Mini, but Mini comes with 2core version!)
The battery rocks!!! Really happy with the phone so far, as even with lower spec it puts behind top-dogs like S3 LTE,Sony SP...
Despite all pros, I still wrote to Santa about Nexus 5

Snapdragon 400 in MotoG and S4Mini aren't the same:
MotoG has a quadcore cortex A7 and,
S4Mini has dualcore Krait processor

So the S4Mini CPU in the chipset (ie Snapdragon400 ) is of Qualcom architecture the Krait
and in Moto G the CPU is of ARM architecture the Cortex A7
So this is the mod Moto did I can't remember any phone with this Chip , if anyone does please tell

Considering Qualcomm knows which device use their processors, none had the MSM8x26 quad-core A7 1.2GHz (Adreno 305 450MHz GPU) before Moto G
Moto is quite a innovator ( well, they invented mobile so no doubts about that ! ) they are not fools to release there first ever international release after becoming "A Google Company" as a 'Experiment' so they are 100% Sure about its Hardware and how it should be the Best and even be a Beast with the support of Vanilla Android. Even then it will not be easy to place it at numero Uno considering it's Price tag.
As Moto is targeting the greater percentage of customers round the globe by releasing a cheap phone best in it's class now Moto mat thing of creating a King of all Phones with Mind-Blowing Specs and Amazing OS experience with something that will become there trade-mark.
There are lots of hopes from my side towards Motorola just because they created the mobile and they created very great phones in past and main reason for such faith is also the fact that MOTO is now a Google company so I want to see the masterpiece of the MOTO-GOOGLE

A bit confused about info on that link in your post... It states that S3 Mini uses Snapdragon 400, but as far as I know it used some NovaThor 8500 (made by Ericsson, but the venture is gone anyway)...
Thanks for the compliment aspot72 and BTW you are right about S3 http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i8190_galaxy_s_iii_mini-5033.php I don't know why Qualcom had it on there site, maybe there are some with snap 400 ?

i wouldn't be surprised : Samsung did build two or more devices with same name (but different codename) with different SoCs, in addition, i found an article about an AT&T specific SIII Mini Powered by a snapdragon 400
No surprise , it's the kind of trick Samsung plays to earn money .
