None are using 800, apparently.

Does that mean low end phones getting quad core processors also...?

That'd be pretty crazy... the average consumer wouldn't know what the differences are between low/mid/high end phones.

Qualcomm is the only company that can mass produce this cpu's even Samsung cannot do it
and were running out of stock with their Exynos. Qualcomm cpu's has been used by LG, Sony, HTC, Nokia, Blackberry, Motorola and even Samsung. They are the no.1 player for this kind of product

Qualcom do the mass produce in the TSMC (taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company). The same foundry as the one used by nVidia.

For the US.....After Texas Instruments didnt make any new chips, the Exynos wasnt and might not be that available in devices in the US.....Apple's chip is only used in iDevices.......Snapdragon and Nvidia had the US of A all to themselves.

Qualcomm handled LTE better than Nvidia....it woulda been a crying shame if Qualcomm didnt take advantage of it.

And now at this point in time....performance between all these different chips is so similar, it doesnt really matter now. I have a Maxx HD with a dual core chip....and the only thing I want it to do is handle switching between listening to music and taking a phone call at the same time better. And handle listening to music and browsing the web at the same time better.

It hiccups at times doing those things. Most every thing else it handles good. All I want is better multi tasking. I dont care about the best benchmarks.

Good enough for my use...

So the next gen lumia will have to have the 600 unless it'll be stuck with a 13 mp camera at most.

If those are considered low-end, I'm extremely excited to see how powerful affordable smartphones in 2013 would be!

NVIDIA is still king.......of playing catch up :-D

There are two smartphone manufacturers that are known to have low-end quad core devices I know ZTE has at least two of them, one is a 1.3Ghz Quad-Core and a 1.2Ghz Quad-Core and these devices are said to cost anywhere between $260-$340 a device.

Does anyone know how the 400 stacks up against the S4 Pro?
