Comparison of High-Performance Smartphones: Dual Core, and Availability

What is the difference between dual core and quadcore? The name says it all. Dual cores have two (2) processor cores while quadcore have four (4) cores in one chip. Originally, processors where only produced with single processor. Cores are units of the processor which read and execute commands. They are considered as the computing parts of the processor. Computation in processors are very fast, beyond human processing operation.

Developers invented the many-core processors to suffice the need for increasing speed of instructions from the many applications for future gadgets. Although, the speed depends on the algorithms of the applications on the gadget.
Quadcore processors are theoretically twice as fast as the dual cores.
Aside from processor, they are also called or termed as CPU (central processing unit).

Here is the summary of the list in the above link.

  • Motorola Droid Bionic 4G
  • Motorola Droid X2
  • LG Optimus 2x
  • Motorola Atrix
  • Samsung Galaxy S II
  • HTC Evo 3D (currently available in Sprint)


The following are some of the list of laptops with quadcore processor:

  • Alienware M17x
  • Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds
  • Gateway P-7808u FX
  • Gateway P79003FX
  • Asus G71 quad-core
  • HP Pavilion DV7-2180US
  • Dell Precision M6400 Covet
  • Acer Aspire 8930G-7665
  • Gateway P-7808u FX
  • HP Envy 15
  • Asus G51VX-A1 15.6-inch


The dual core phone Samsung Galaxy S II will be released soon in the US through T-mobile as most reports suggest. It shall be named as Samsung Hercules in the US

The Samsung Hercules is reported to run on an Android OS Gingerbread. It will boast 8MP camera in the rear as primary camera. Aside from the US, it will also be released in Canada under TELUS Network under the same brand/name Samsung Hercules.

Fun Without End? Get To Know The SAMSUNG 1900!

THE SAMSUNG 1900 Omnia is a phone— from a marketing standpoint- apparently designed solely to compete with the iPhone. It may fall short of Apples Liber-hyped device, but what Samsung came up with is a very sweet smart phone.



In terms of build, the Omnia even trumps the iPhone. It feels solid and has a well-balanced heft. Features-wise, Samsung threw everything in their arsenal into the Omnia: touch screen, 5—megapixel autofocus camera, 3.5G {HSDPA) connectivity, fast CPU, up to 16GB of storage, RDS Radio, GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and a latté machine. Ok, we were kidding about the latté.

The Omnia is one of the new generations of Windows Mobile phones to utilize version 6.1, which features threaded SMS messages. Text messages appear r in chat form as pioneered by the Treo. Seeing it implemented on the Omnia makes you realize, it’s about damn time.

The areas where the Omnia falls short are where it tries to match the iPhone. First, there's the accelerometer, which changes the orientation of the screen automatically. 1t’s tricky enough on the iPhone; here it just feels unnatural. Next is the touch screen keyboard. After a few days it was still difficult to input text quickly and accurately.

The interface that Samsung has created on top of WinMo is stylish and effective. The problem is when you use the apps and enter the realm of WinMo, the OS loses its aesthetic appeal. It feels like four years ago.

As an iPhone competitor, Samsung has created a potent challenger in the Omnia with technically better hardware than the iPhone. But it loses out when pitted against a proven strength of Apples products: the software.
