hello i want to buy either motorola razr d3(which will available worlwide soon) or htc desire x
my question are :
1) which are more powerful in term of perfomance and touch screen sensitivity(not looking for gaming perfomance)
snapdragon s4 msm8225
dual core 1 ghz ARMv7 Cortex A5
adreno 203
vs
mediatek 6577
dual core 1.2ghz ARMv7 Cortex A9 MPCore (not sure)
power sgx531
2) is it ARM Cortex version affect perfomance?
btw, currently i am using sony xperia go, and this device are suck, hang all over, very lag, and not sensitive at all
A brief look at the Cortex A5 and the Cortex A9 reveals that the Cortex A9 has a greater L1 cache.
This considered together with the added 200MHz means that the Motorola Razr D3's processor will perform better than the HTC Desire X's processor.
Something important to bear in mind is that the added UI layers MotoBLUR and Sense permeates the entire system greatly affects performance and touch screen responsiveness. This is why AOSP based custom roms may result in a much more responsive system.
Why do you ask which one is better, while only one is released? Is better to live on planet earth, or on space station around mars? Please add as much details as possible!!!

thanks,
i think the UI for Razr D3 is not MotoBlur anymore,sense UI on HTC caught my eyes but i love razr d3 more:laugh:
one more thing, both are different Soc in model number which htc desire x with mssm8225 snapdragon s4 while razr d3 with mediatek 6577
as we know, snpdragon are widely uses in high spec devices, while mediatek is china manufacture which well known for cloning and dual sim support
so, which one is better to affect perfomance(like web browsing,watching videos,call and message) if we just briefly compare the Soc in model number

razr d3 already released in brazil, will be release worldwide soon and confirmed to get android 5.0
i just curious in term of perfomance(web browsing,watching videos,etc) and responsive touch screen
in term of gaming perfomance, i already know goes to desire x but i not intend for that

well, the s4 play lose vs mediatek 6577. why? s4 play is cortex a5 vs mediatek 6577 cortex a7. gpu on mediatek chip is better. only compared with s4 play! not other s4

confirmed, is cortex a5 the one in the htc. well, motorola razr win in speed and in all i can see (price too) cortex a7 is a newer model of cortex 5, and has things of cortex a15, making it a very fast chip, and wasting less battery than cortex a9. that's why razr d3 win

Glass doesn't specify the quality as a whole...there are many other things....SoC built quality....plastic resistancy and metal resistancy....these hardware parts are mostly found of local quality in Motorola (or some say made in China)

try quadcore processors and HD display screen...Siri is only available on apple as they have bought the company that created it.
It'll likely be at least a 1.2ghz quadcore running ICS Android 4.x - there's no way they'd make the specs any lower than the Galaxy Nexus, so use that as a suggestion for minimum specs. There's good odds it (the Nexus) will be officially announced tomorrow so you'll see all the info then.
The rumored Nexus specs are:
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
9mm thick
4.65-inch 1280 x 720-pixel Super AMOLED HD with curved glass
TI OMAP 4460 dual-core Cortex A9 processor clocked at 1.2GHz
1GB of RAM
32GB of built-in storage
5-megapixel camera on the back, 1.3-megapixel in the front
1080p HD video capture support
LTE/HSPA depending on carrier
Wi-Fi a/b/g/n
NFC
1,750 mAh battery

Which custom rom will be best for it? Considering there won't be any until after it's released, how would anyone know?

The SGS3 is months away yet anyway, waste of time speculating at this stage.

How many phones have Sony announced this year?
Seems at least 10 different models based on the same line up.
Is this excessive or not?
I don't see the point releasing that many phones when they are all very similar in specs and design.
Not only those two but the T as well which is their new flagship device.

All of these handsets are aimed at a different user/audience. The V is quite a nice introduction because it has 4G capability, it seems pretty similar to the S just with 4G and other features added but only being released in the US. Whilst the J is the affordable smartphone option.
This is something you should expect from a manufacturer, and hope to see continued (constantly improving/releasing devices).
On a business side of things, the more products you produce the better. Again it's to be expected. So no i don't think it's excessive i just think it's more selfish, i would like to see them concentrating more on support for their current flagship device(s) rather than maximizing profits/gaining larger audiences. If they were to concentrate their efforts on improving and maintaining current devices there wouldn't be a need for so many devices, and perhaps when they release something new it will include all of the features the entire line has rather than releasing individual devices with new features and be a device with all the improvements and current firmwares/software's applicable.

Because a dual-core Krait is equal/more powerful than actual quad-cores (Tegra3 and Exynos-Quad), and that is better because no all the apps uses 4 cores or 2.
Xperia T should be twice as fast than Xperia S in pure processing power. In games... 50% more on the lowest case.

Xperia T is almost the same thing as the S,just slightly different (s4 vs s3,hdmi port vs no port)

I think because Sony can compete with this dual core krait against S3 and One X without problems. And then, when quad core smartphones will the standard, they can earn money without much effort.

Pure processing power doesn't mean switching between each homescreen or app list twice as fast dude. Thinking better on that, could be 1.5x not twice, but yes, is a huge advantage in hardware.
Its like when Intel released the first core i7 vs core2quad.

Because we often get the urge to throw our phones into water, right? Better yet, because our jobs and offices and such are all under-water right? :silly:
Better battery life has not been confirmed, it's not particularly hard to introduce an extended battery either.
Onscreen buttons are achieved easily by a mod in these forums.

Well, it matters if u are a biker and ur city happen to be located inside a rainforest.
For the button,U could mod it.but it just plain silly to have duplication of button on top of one another doing similar thing.
I'm saying better battery life simply as dual core and smaller screen won't be as resources hungry as quadcore megascreen.
The point is this phone is as fast as the other flagship, but with better camera and could be thrown in the pool for fun sake. And it pocketable too 4.3" screen with onscreen button would be as big as current 4" screen.
This probably appeal to the I don't want a phablet but I want a powerful spec crowd. Last I check there's isn't any competitor in this category yet.
Unless one got the new iphone,which may rocking a 4" screen, so would be about the same size as this phone.

Galaxy note (mali 400 is solid and fast but dont know how it performs on 1280x800 and i love the huge 5.3inch )
Htc one s (what i like most about it is the dual core krait snapdragon s4 thats super fast but adreno 225 seems to be as fast as adreno 220 which sucked at gaming i had an evo 3D )
What i need in my new phone is a nice display and a very good gpu for gaming cz i play demamding games like nova 3 and asphalt 7 and good developing support too thx in advance

Hi guys!
I have never owned a tablet and i have decided to pull the trigger and get one, however, im not entirely sure which one to get. I have narrowed it down to 3 tablets. The Nexus 10, Nexus 7(because i travel a lot im considering the 7" screen) or the ASUS Transformer Infinity. I know they are all similar but which performs the best and worth the money? Thanks a bunch for the help guys!

good question. basically, more CPU cores doesnt always equate to better performance.
It really comes down to the design of the chipset being used. for example, the N10 is using a Exynos 5 (dual core), which is built using ARMs brand spanking new A15 architecture...however, the N7/Transformer/etc are all using a Tegra 3 (quad core), which is built using ARMs older A9 architecture. So that pretty much answers any questions about performance, mulit
The Exynoes chip also includes ARM's new Mali-T604 GPU, designed to power that record-breaking display
Throw in the fact that the the N10 was the only device in your lineup that has 2Gb of RAM...i think you know what to do!! :good:

Because it's the next generation dual core, cortex-A15 architecture vs cortex-A9. Basically it's not about the number of cores it's about the architecture.
I'm not an expert on this so someone else will probably give a better explanation.

the nexus 10 looks awesome. But I think it would rather go cheaper and buy the nexus 7. I bet it has better battery life and the 10" is almost as big as a laptop screen and might not be good for travel. I dunno, just my two cents.
I purchsed both versions of the Galaxy Mega, the i9200 with a Snapdragon 1.7 and an i9205 with the Exynos 1.7. The i9205 Exynos version runs noticeably smoother and less glitchy than the Snapdragon version. Anyone considering buying this device, do yourself a favor and get the Exynos model. Other than the memory difference 8 vs 16, and one being a UK version (i9200 ordered from Newegg) and the other a model shipped from Hong Kong (i9205 ordered from Negri Electronics) and the regional rom differences, I can only imagine that it's the differences in the processor and core types making the performance difference from one Mega to the other. I used the Snapdragon model for a week before receiving the Exynos version. The differences are night and day.

Tried looking for the exynos Mega 6.3 online and I can't seem to find it anywhere. Care to post the results of Antutu with system information on both Mega?
For me I'm done with Exynos smartphones..
I had GS2, Note 1, Note 2 and all of them after 4 - 6 months they start to hang stutter.. Even factory reset won't solve the lag problem,
On the other hand I had GS2 - i9100G with TI SOC and it's far better than 9100 with Exynos SOC
I'm very sensitive to Lags and stuttering I hate that !!
That's why I bought Galaxy Mega with Qualcomm SOC.. I hope it won't start lagging in next coming months..
That's my opinion ..
Is there a different root method for the Exynos version or it's the same with the Snapdragon method? Having lots of variation makes it hard to develop for and we already have the i9200 and the i9205 Mega 6.3. I think more will support the Snapdragon version as more people use it.

Don't confuse people. AFAIK, there is NO Exynos version of Mega 6.3. Initially there was a lot of information about the i9200 version running Exynos and the i9205 (LTE) version running Snapdragon (not the other way around), because Exynos doesn't support LTE, but i think this plan was later dropped because Samsung is experiencing shortages with their Exynos processors. I've compared both version that are sold in Europe and they all run on Snapdragon 400 1.7Ghz and Adreno 305.

I typically use Quadrant Standard. Do you have a preference on the benchmark tool used? I ran Quadrant on both devices yesterday and both Mega's provided very similar results on Quadrant.

Can you test with GFXBench from the Play Store? I'm interested in the "Egypt 1080p offscreen" and "T-Rex 1080p offscreen" results.

I purchsed both versions of the Galaxy Mega, the i9200 with a Snapdragon 1.7 and an i9205 with the Exynos 1.7. The i9205 Exynos version runs noticeably smoother and less glitchy than the Snapdragon version. Anyone considering buying this device, do yourself a favor and get the Exynos model. Other than the memory difference 8 vs 16, and one being a UK version (i9200 ordered from Newegg) and the other a model shipped from Hong Kong (i9205 ordered from Negri Electronics) and the regional rom differences, I can only imagine that it's the differences in the processor and core types making the performance difference from one Mega to the other. I used the Snapdragon model for a week before receiving the Exynos version. The differences are night and day.

I've checked with owners of the LTE version i9205 in Singapore, and it's running Qualcomm SOC based on cpu-z. How did you conclude that your i9205 is running Exynos?
Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 1.73 GHz
CPU Architecture: Krait
Cores: 2
Revision: r2p0
Process: 28nm
GPU Vendor: Qualcomm
GPU Renderer: Adreno 305

According to Negri Electronics website, where my i9205 LTE was ordered from (the much faster Mega) , states that it's an Exynos 5250, A15 core, Mali 400gpu. The i9200 was ordered from Newegg and they state that that version is Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 Chipset, Adreno 305 GPU.

It doesn't matter what they say, their information is wrong. There is NO model of Mega with Exynos. You can easily check it yourself. In any case, originally the i9200 model, not the i9205 was going to have Exynos, because Exynos doesn't support LTE. I was going to get the Exynos-based i9200 model, but then i discovered that they both have the same chip - MSM8930, which is Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 + Adreno 305.
Why not post pics of the said Exynos Mega 6.3 showing system information? Also, can you give us the link where you ordered it?
There are plenty of retailers here in europe who list the wrong specs for the non-LTE version of the SGM 6.3 to.
This is because they take these specs from the early reports, in which such specs were listed.
I participate in another local forum, where many people have both versions of the device and they all have the same specs.
I mean, you can even take a kernel from one model and flash it into another and it'll work, if they had different SOCs, this would lead to a brick, AFAIK.
So his experience was just placebo thinking the 'Exynos' Mega was faster and saying the difference was 'night and day'.
There are lots of apps in the Play store he could use to check the system information and post it here for all to see.
Is this that big @$$ Samsung? 6.3 or whatever?

It just got me curious. Anyway, he's gone quiet so we'll just leave it at that.
Ok... So the processors are identical as you can see by the screen shots. The Negri website is infact stating inaccurate specifications of the 9205 Mega model. Now I am wondering why the i9205 runs so much better than the i9200. I suppose that it is the different versions of the Roms that each are loaded with. Each phone is loaded the same, same apps installed etc.
Anyways I apologize for jumping the gun on stating that one had the Exynos processor. I was only using the detailed specs listed on the website where I purchased it. The 9205 certainly does run better over the 9200 model and I have no explanation as to why. :banghead:

Some people report problems/lag/fcs with their devices others don't have. Why? In some cases there's a logical explanation in others there isn't, but there's always a reason. It does sound like if there's something fishy with your i9200.

My 9205 is almost perfect, if the keyboard was better it would be. I like the number row though.

I love my 9205... 9200 not so much. I am using Swiftkey and like it better than the stock keyboard. Another thing that bothers me a little with the Mega is that the Camera just doesn't seem as good as my Note 2 was. It just isn't as fast. I seem to capture more blurred pictures with the Mega over the Note2. I can deal with the 9205 until the new Note 3 comes out. It's a solid device. Love the screen size!
