nsane.forums Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 LG has officially announced the LG Optimus G ahead of IFA 2012, and it packs some super-fine specs such as Qualcomm's latest quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro chipset and a 13MP camera Ahead of IFA 2012, LG has officially taken the wraps off their latest upcoming flagship smartphone: the LG Optimus G. This new smartphone will be the first on the market (as we reported earlier) to use Qualcomm's quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro chipset, the APQ8064 - a chipset that packs four of Qualcomm's Krait CPU cores clocked at 1.5 GHz, plus their Adreno 320 graphics processor, dual-band 802.11n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0. The high end specs don't end there, because the Android 4.0 smartphone also packs a 4.7-inch True HD IPS+ LCD display at 1280 x 768, 2 GB of RAM, a 13-megapixel rear camera complemented by a 1.3-megapixel front shooter, and a 2,100 mAh battery. It comes in at 8.45mm thin, and features a "fully integrated touch technology" that helps reduce the gap between glass and display. The device will first be launching in Korea next month with LTE, followed by NTT DoCoMo (also with LTE) in October/November; LG also says a worldwide launch is expected before the end of the year. We found LG's previous flagship smartphone, the LG Optimus 4X HD, to be generally quite good, although we hope this new Optimus G will step View: Original Article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockstar_26 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 That's not a phone! That's a LAPTOP crammed into a phone! :wtf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x3r0 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Wow, if it's really a quad core, than it should be better than my own laptop :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess, the phone has a function for putting the unused cores in idle mode. Btw, a cell phone user doesn't necessarily need 4 cores, does he?

rudrax Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 And look at the resolution of a 4.7 inch screen! 1280x768! Hilarious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for use, even I'm confused. Maybe games these days make use of it. For daily, documents related usage, it's a little useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calguyhunk Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Wow, if it's really a quad core, than it should be better than my own laptop :P No, it won't be. ARM cores even at identical clocks will never be as fast as Intel x86 cores. Your lappy's 2+Ghz dual is a whole lot faster for all practical purposes than the 1.5Ghz Quad this one has. In any case, even by ARM standards, off-the-shelf Qualcomm Snapdragon processors still have a long way to go to catch up to Samsung's Exynos chipset ;) And look at the resolution of a 4.7 inch screen! 1280x768! Hilarious! It will more than do the job, but Apple fanboys with their 'Retina' thingys will not be impressed. The Galaxy S III has a 16:9 display @ 1280X720. And it's an inch larger @ 4.8! :D Yup. I doubt 4 cores are always on. As for use, even I'm confused. Maybe games these days make use of it. For daily, documents related usage, it's a little useless. Nothing uses 4 cores on Android/iOS as of now AFAIK. Some gaming apps have started using the 2nd core, not the 3rd and 4th. It's not 'bout what you need, but what you can have though. For all practical purposes, a higher clocked Dual core is still gonna be faster than a lower clocked Quad! :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted August 30, 2012 Administrator Share Posted August 30, 2012 Indeed.On a side note. From what I know about, the retina display thing is nothing but very high "ppi" on the screen, higher than what an human eye can see. So from that, it's just a marketing gimmick. :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
