this is crazy drain my battery mode.... lol we might have a 6hrs standby and 2hrs usage.... i hope they have develop a new battery...
I'll wait for HTC Edge S, which will most probably come few months after this :)
First of all, quad core for a smartphone makes no sense. It will suck all juice from the battery even if it is a huge one. If Android needs such a processor, it should consider to rewrite its whole software because i don't think any mobile platform needs such processor. Take Symbian for example. It could run smoothly on a 680mhz processor. Concerning the size, it seems that smartphones and tablets are becoming same to same. It's just too big man! A phone is a phone and its size should be considered to fit pockets. Manufactures should bear in mind that smartphones can never replace real cameras or laptops. In my opinion, smartphones should be of maximum 4 inches. If someone wants bigger ones, go for a tablet of 7 or 10 inches :)
2012 = quad core flexible phones; what's the next step?

Lol not even Sony Ericsson has built a dual-core phone....
And you'd probably have to lug around a car battery with you? :)
I think 2 gigs of RAM would suit the quad-core badge better.
AnonD-5197, 08 Nov 2011What's funny is that you are saying SGSII only lasts half a day and asking people to believe y... morelooooooooooooooooooolllll how did u use your sg2? as an alarm clock only??????????????
LOL LOL LOL I need a battery that will keep my VERYSMARTphone alive for a week not bloody quad cores..... who cares except some geeks...
@azuz.It's not often that one wakes up and decides they want to flip mountains from within the palm of their hands.But then,there's always a sense of gratitude when you know you can.This makes some of us sleep a lot better.
lozza, 08 Nov 2011this is the beast the galaxy nexus should have been !!!Yeah ...but then it wouldn't have been released in November !
Anonymous, 08 Nov 2011no word about the heat sink and fan!!!Arm processors are typically fine without heatsinks. They are more energy efficienct compared to X64 and X86 processors.
[quote]Quad Core for a Cell Phone and Tiny OS Android...... Total Nonsense..[/quote]
That's what we said 3 years ago with a 1ghz single core.
Wait, so the quad-core processor only kicks in while doing a taxing task, while the 400 MHz companion core takes care of the rest? If that's the case, doing a non-taxing task like navigating through the UI will severely lag, right?
Why not 2GB RAM. Whyyyyyyy?!
6 ghz on a phone and almost two or three external device's driver support...that's tech,700 euros for games and Internet with flash...
Hope the Battery life on this this is at lest a hour..
AnonD-29486, 08 Nov 2011Sometimes people forget a phone can make calls these days.with that monster i doubt one can make normal phone call. At least not right out-of-the-box. HTC headsets are quite uncomfortable for me.
So yes.. HTC definetly forgot that device should make phone calls.
GSMArena - it's about time you start doing your job and report the value offered by phones with different specs.
What's the value in a 4.7' phone for a non-gamer? what's the value in a dual core for someone who only browses the web?
Battery life?
What you do is just report specs and benchmarks (who cares???) and nothing about usability.
