Do we really need Quad Core on a phone?
I think the Next Big Thing to watch for on Verizon (say in 8-10 months) is Second Gen LTE chips with VOLTE (Voice over LTE), and NFC (Verizon and ATT are getting ready to roll out this ISIS electronic payments system in a big way). I'd be very happy with a mid range phone being 1-1.2 GHz dual core,
1 GB ram, 16-32 GB onboard memory, 2nd Gen LTE with VOLTE and a 1500 Milliamp battery, 4.0 inch qHD (960x540 is fine) display giving me full day+ battery life while everyone else is spending $299 for their new 720P, 2.0 GHz quad core, 2GB memory that you really only need for games. I think by then my idea of mid range phone will do great. I can't see having anything bigger than 4.0" in a phone (and hopefully I'm not alone so they make some decently specced 4.0" phones). That's my early wish list for holiday season 2012 (very happy with my red Dinc 2 for free on contract this past holiday season and I'm sure it will last at least a year until my next mid range phone meets my wish list).
