Which specs configuration do you prefer?

3. Muhannad posted on 27 Aug 2012, 01:18 14 0

Basically I prefer 1.

15. pokharkarsaga posted on 27 Aug 2012, 01:37 2 18

this specs configuration comparison is totally unbiased.How can you compare Cortex A9 with Cortex A15 ?

Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro (Krait) is the carbon copy of ARM Cortex A15.View this link to see the details:-

There is no Cortex A15 chip here. The S4 is not based on the ARM Cortex A15 architecture.

OMAP5 and Exynos 5 Dual are based on A15.

Listen I like Qualcomm but the S4 Krait chipset is not a carbon copy of a A15. It's SIMILAR but it's not a A15.

You look at everything presented & yes, of course everyone will choose configuration number 1. There is no contest.

just for giggles, can you name 3 ways in which it is similar to an A15? :) Other than Q saying that its equivalent and thus bloggers repeating that over n over again, what actually makes it equivalent? :)

I always associate Motorola with the Tegras because of the Photon and Atrix phones. I'd put #1 with a Japanese maker because of the camera but the LTE throws it off so it'd have to be a made for America phone. Maybe an HTC since they use Snapdragons and put that 16MP sensor in the Titan 2 recently.

18. KingKurogiii posted on 27 Aug 2012, 01:41 2 0

i've gotten to where i associate ASUS with Nvidia. they come together well.

Samsung is of course all about the Exynos and then there's the Motorola/OMAP and HTC/Snapdragon duos.

39. Commentator posted on 27 Aug 2012, 02:34 2 0

I always associate Moto with TI, Samsung with Exynos, HTC with Qualcomm, and LG with Nvidia.

I understand that this post is sponsored by LG, but I wonder: what's the point? It's obvious which list of specs will be superior and would be the clear-cut favorite, so why did LG spend the money to put together this poll? If anything, it seems like they're just patting themselves on the back rather than making any meaningful advertising push. Yes, we get it, you have good specs, now put it in the form of a regular ad please.

79. jamrockjones posted on 27 Aug 2012, 15:40 0 0

There are plenty of people that are biased against LG. The specs on the left look the most impressive and make sense why it got the most votes, but when they reveal what phone you just voted for people will bash on LG.

80. Commentator posted on 27 Aug 2012, 15:55 0 0

I would hope that everyone who voted here would have read the disclaimer at the top and would understand that they were voting for an LG phone when they picked the best specs. I don't think any LG bashers got tricked by this poll, though I could be wrong.

LG is trying their best to get some ground excitement for their products. Its great of them to do so.. if their products measure up in all aspects, not just hardware.

I love that they are pushing hard on hardware.. we know im a tech geek. However, after owning LG products, Im extremely hesitant since they tend to drop support rather quickly. Both their G-Slate tablet and G2X phone were plain "with google" sets, and neither saw much support beyond a basic bug fix. There is no reason for that. They are technically no different than a nexus... its stock google. I know I say not to expect updates, but when its a stock set, there really isnt much of an excuse.

yes, outside of the US HTC devices with T3 are more common. they use snapdragon in the US for LTE compatibility.

26. bobfreking55 posted on 27 Aug 2012, 01:47 2 0

they want to show everyone that they have better specs...

but it's really not about the specs LG. it's about experience.
I would even trade my better specd Asus Prime for a Nexus 7 and the SGS3 just somehow equals the Gnex and how the iPhone still is popular even if it's specs suck.

64. joey_sfb posted on 27 Aug 2012, 08:43 1 0

I have bought one LG phone and that's my last LG phone. I guess the ratio would be different if they have shown us the brand.

Spec. of the phone plays a big part but so does after sales support.

LG have very lousy track record on software update. Samsung/Sony/HTC has already given their phone ICS.

Most LG phones are still struck on gingerbread/froyo.

I rather pick another brand other than LG and Motorola.

70. remixfa posted on 27 Aug 2012, 10:17 1 0

you got that right. My "with google" LG tablet never got updated past 3.1.. and even that was extremely late. It has all the specs to run 4.0/4.1 but LG just doesnt want to update it. "With Google" is stock android just like a nexus. There is zero reason they cant throw the update out. At least there is CM10 development going on for it. As soon as its a lil more stable, 4.1 here I come.

75. KingKurogiii posted on 27 Aug 2012, 12:00 0 0

sell it and get a Nexus 7! ;D

I don't know... I can kill off 1GB of RAM pretty easily on Android. You know, multitasking instead of pretend task switching with a music player and a notification center.

24. TheLibertine posted on 27 Aug 2012, 01:44 2 6

Yeah, i know, as i am an Galaxy Note user also. I dont have any complaints on it or my iPad regarding multitasking and RAM.

So no need to get offensive.

78. Contreramanjaro posted on 27 Aug 2012, 15:09 0 0

It's all about headroom. If the devices do not have the RAM the developers will cut back but if it's there then they can improve the project or add more detail and greater integration. Apple products benefit as much as any other product from RAM.

If tablets and smartphones are really poised to replace computers then I need them to have the capabilities and at the moment that includes somewhere around 20 active tabs in Chrome, several social apps, a music player, server connections, and then Final Cut or Premier Pro. Individually those things never crack the 2GB mark of RAM usage but together they reach up to 6 and having to pull from VRAM on the HDD takes a lot of time and power and halts productivity.

Please don't confuse my opinion supported by facts for offense. Because you don't have complaints doesn't mean I don't, if iMovie on iPad is ever going to be real it needs a pile of RAM. Simple as that.

10. thelegend6657 posted on 27 Aug 2012, 01:32 0 2

It's 16:9

11. thelegend6657 posted on 27 Aug 2012, 01:32 0 2

Same as the other 2 but higher resolution

21. neutralguy posted on 27 Aug 2012, 01:42 1 4

No. It's 15:9.

44. neutralguy posted on 27 Aug 2012, 02:57 4 2

WTH? 3 thumbs down? YOU PEOPLE SERIOUS? do you even know what's aspect ratio means?

1280 x 768 = 15:9
1280 x 720= 16:9

1280/15 = 85.3333
768/9 = 85.3333

1280/16 = 80
720/9 = 80

please, try understanding math. :(

technically, it should still be 16:9... most of the time. Off the top of my head, I believe the new LG phone that this chart is referencing for option 1 is a button-less design, which means the bottom row of icons is counted in the 1280x768. Someone correct me if im wrong, but I think the bottom row is near 40 pixels on the galaxy nexus.

68. neutralguy posted on 27 Aug 2012, 09:16 1 2

no. it's still 15:9. whether the bottom is used as a button. see, the extra "48" pixels would be arranged horizontally. So what does it mean? you'd still get 720p with extra 48 pixels. 48 pixels in the horizontal part of the screen at it won't affect the vertical aspect of the screen.

it's really hard to explain. But 1280x768 is a 15:9 aspect ratio. That will be a fact.

to people who can't still get this, try learning basic geometry. And try learning what "aspect ratio" really means. that's it. Further comments regarding the aspect ratio of this resolution will show ignorance.

no, I get what your saying. However, my point is that it will only be in that aspect ratio during media watching and a few games. The bottom row of buttons, when visible, isnt considered part of the viewing aspect ratio from my understanding.
Anyways, I think were just splitting hairs. Also no reason to try to browbeat with your last line there.

mmmm, no, not so i'm afraid.

we don't know what type of display is being used with the first configuration and the resolution is equal to that of the second.

considering that all we know about the 1st configuration is MP that far from rules out that it's not comparable to the 8MP from the second configuration.

yeah, i'm just completely lost here. xD
