Qualcomm's "S4" line combines dual-core processor and embedded LTE support

Too bad they aren't available already. This and other LTE-imbedded chips is what will rescue LTE phones from their current battery life woes.

Nvidia already mentioned that Kal-El chips will be in phones by the beginning of next year, so probably some company will announce a quad-core phone at CES 2012

the Vigor won't even be usable unless it had such a processor. remember it won't have a SA+ HD screen like the Prime not to mention it's not big enough to accommodate a big battery. rumor is that it has a 1600mAh battery.

Gosh, HTC is putting an awful lot of time into a phone that "won't even be usable". No, the Vigor won't be a superfast phone like the GS2 but that hardly qualifies it as "unusable". You're damning a phone that nobody's laid hands on yet.

The Vigor is rumored to be packing an HD(720p) screen also.

yeah i know that, the difference is that the Prime's will be SA+ which is much more power efficient than regular LCD displays.

also, my friend has a galaxy s (samsung fascinate) and the battery life is truly pathetic, compared to my xperia arc.
could be a faulty unit though

where in that article does it say that the SA+ is what's causing the drainage? there's many other factors that could be at fault here like GSMArena stated it could simply be the Galaxy S II's browser.

you misunderstand. i don't doubt it'll be fast, not GS2 fast but fast none the less. what i meant was being that it has an HD (supposedly mere LCD) display and a 1.5GHz dual-core processor on top of LTE it's going to be more than a little power hungry. if they don't use an MSM8960 in this thing the battery life will be atrocious.

Texas Instrument's "Second Gen" is the OMAP4470 which has a PowerVR 544 @ 384mhz with a dedicated 2D Graphics Core and is clocked at 1.8GHz. it's supposed to come out early next year and as for Nvidia, i don't think they're as good at producing processors as the rest are yet and they've probably decided not to fumble around and focus on the Tegra III.

hey dummy most reviewers actually say that the quadrant scores varies between 2500 - 3500+ so it is still unknown, but anyways they also said the tmobile version also does not feel as snappy and has some lag in comparison. So next time when you want to open your mouth and say something dumb do your research and educate yourself first. Your such a dumba$$ just go STFU.
