And a good design to match the amazing internals. I would buy that phone in a heartbeat.

they quite possibly could due to the A-15 architecture

yeah, but samsung makes quality phones WITH nice specs.

c.hack every time you post I cry over the fact that you have children.

Literally, tears are shed.

Tell them I said the world is sorry.

Glad to see you spend your time following me. You really need to get a life. Or maybe not, because of the oxygen you would waste.

It's not that I spend my time following you but your worthless posts are on every single article that has anything to do with Android or Samsung.

Besides, you used to make good posts. So I always read yours hoping for something new and i'm always disappointed.

And as far as getting a life is concerned, when you grow up and have a real job with your own office you can read phone news at work too.

For powerful gaming...powerful gpu is required...like PowerVR SGX543 MP2 (in A5)...if samsung could throw dual or quad code T604...in their chip...many gaming nerds will have smiling faces ;)

i would've thought the OMAP4 could beat the 4210 with that logic too but there's something else about these Exynos processors that make them so much better that i admit i just don't understand. it may just come from sheer optimization.

20. remixfa posted on 27 Jan 2012, 13:41 1 0

the omap is nice, but exynos is where its at. and the upcomming generation the exynos should have a wider lead. from all the companies prelimary reports, going by the "the next chip will be XX more powerful than the current chip", the exynos is going to have the biggest bump and its already the most powerful chip.

yeah and with LTE support there won't be any more questions from us power users. damn Samsung dangling that in front of my face. DISTRIBUTE EXYNOS TO MOTOROLA PL0X!!!

they did get extra factories open this year. hopefully that will increase production of the 5xxx line. id love to see that kind of power widely available for multiple manufacturers. we all win that way.
I cant wait to see the first few optimized apps that make these chips chug along.

I still haven't found any evidence that there's anything particularly special about the exynos when compared to the Razr. And smartphoneenvy compared the two and the Razr opened everything faster. Still can't beat Samsung for smoothness when it comes to scrolling on web pages though.

I did start comparing versions on youtube though. Samsung gets the same kind of smoothness and performance out of its Tegra II devices and S3 devices, though the S3 devices still have more lag and occasionally checkerboard. So yeah it's got to be some kind of optimization. They're the only OEM who does their own file system, I guess they just learned alot from the Galaxy SI devices.

i don't know how you don't see it but the Galaxy S II (Exynos Variants) do feel noticeably smoother compared to the Razr. now the Razr is a beast don't get me wrong but Exynos optimized TW4 just feels incredibly smooth and snappy. it exhibits a certain quality that even the sheer power and light interface of the Razr hasn't quite reached yet.

Does it? Honestly my time was limited but I didn't notice any major differences when doing general things on the homescreens. I'll take your word for it though.
I dunno though, I just don't get off on smoothness like some people do. I care more about outright speed as long as smoothness is sufficient which is why I'd chose the Razr(maxx) if I had to get one of the two.
Then again, different day, different connection maybe the GSII woulda been faster, not like there was a massive difference.

yeah, i'm totally with you Bro especially since the trade off for said smoothness is LTE connectivity goodness.

alright.. when starting this conversation, i know you said eyxnos, but what SGS2 variant were you playing with? If it was the skyrocket or the Tmobile SGS2/hercules, it was not an exynos chip. Just wanted to throw that out there.
