Verizon HTC Quad Core Phone?

[aaron8466]

I am due for an upgrade in July and have recieved advice to pass on he Rezound and wait and see what MWC holds for HTC and Verizon.

Am I looking for a needle in a haystack here, or is something actually coming?

I have heard the Edge, but nothing is confirmed.

Just like Tegra 2, Tegra 3 is supposedly not compatible with LTE at this time. Best bet might be when the S4 Quad Core begins shipping in quarter 3 IIRC. Nvidia just announced they are working on getting LTE support added...... I don't see them beating the S4 to market. There were rumors of a quad core Casio, but I haven't seen what chip they use.

It is good as a phone, but it's screen is so reflective that you can't see it outdoors in bright light. And it is thick, heavy and ugly as phones go. But other than that, it is a good phone.

I"m not crazy about the rezound since it has an outstanding processor but has lower "smartbench 2012" scores than the razr and the bionic which both run between 2500 - 2600 with a 1.0 ghz and 1.2ghz processor compared to the resound 1.5ghz processor that only runs at 2000 scores.

I'm not sure if its the HTC sense technology dragging it down or whether smartbench doesn't measure HTC sense well.. but at any rate its concerning.

I've decided if I"m gonna run Sense, I'm waiting for the Quad processors to see that they push sense.


Seems unless smartbench is a poor tool for measuring performance with sense, its quite ashamed to allow sense to zap away 1/3 of the processor speed?????

I would expect 1.5 ghz to be running close the 3000 on the benchmark..... 2000 is just sad.

Maybe quad cores will dance..... the improvement dual cores brought about single.... doing simple match going to quad from dual should show the same improvement with ghz being respectively the same.

I know it has a lot to do with the processes involved in the software, but sense appears to require lots of horsepower for little return.

Benchmarks are just numbers. Dual cores will all run smoothly and I am sure once the new less resource heavy sense comes it will speed up even more.

I have it and it is actually really nice. Screen is fine for outside as long as it is bright enough. I have the 2,750 m/aH extended battery and it doesn't feel super thick. Normally it really isn't super huge. The design is minimal, and similar to the standard HTC, but wouldn't say it's ugly. It also doesn't feel that heavy in the hand

+1 on the Rezound, I have HTC Amaze which is similar and it's a nice phone. It's actually a lot thinner than my last phone (HTC Hero) lol. If you keep waiting for the next big thing well then you'll always be waiting cause there's always new stuff on the horizon. Sometimes you just gotta bite the bullet and get something.
