time to save money an wait for the nxt smartfone with this chip wit andreno 420... glad i didnt get the z1

there will always be something else around the corner, might as well just buy what you like..

s**t my note 3 is out of date allready lol

64 bit processors will be the next big leap for android phones anyway next year so 32 bit cpus will become dated full stop during 2014. Galaxy S5 is rumoured to be 64 bit

evenually 32 bit smartphones will no longer be sold an existing handsets will no longer be compatible with google play which will eventually be 64 bit only. But thankfully that wont happen in the near future. Its a logical progression and the same will happen with tablets. You dont need a 6th sense to see where tech is going

manufacturers are not interested in supporting products once they approach the ripe old age of 3 because they know the majority update their smartphones on a regular basis. They wont support the minority, only the majority. Infact 3 years maybe stretching it a bit even.

it's a dream come true for electronics manufacturers that there's a product consumers will replace frequently regardless of how the current device was working. when you stand back from it, it's madness really..

yes it is madness, I seem to remember the days when nobody cared about what processor or ram was in their phone as long as it did everything they wanted. When nokia launched the N95 nobody asked what cpu it had and didnt honestly care! But it sold like hot cakes when the press hailed it as the best thing since sliced bread.

and then the iphone came the ipod with the built in phone. Not even 3g compatible and you couldnt even send mms picture messages. The interface and apples clever marketing alone was enough to win consumers over

PS for anyone whos interested the N95 had a dual core 332mhz arm 11 processor according to gsm arena anyway. Could it have been the first dual core smartphone? I suppose the clock speed wasnt half bad for 2006 when totalling up the speed of both cores. My xda exec I Had in 2005 had a single core 550mhz processor

but I believe one of the cores in the N95 was just for running the operating system meaning both cores were not available for all tasks. But whatever the case it seemed to do the job.

next we will talk about what fridge and toaster has the most cpu power and ram

I Have a Note 3 and it is by far the best device I haveever owned. Now we have a new processor coming up. My question is... we all use our phones/tablets to call, text, browse, use IM, gaming, etc... but where do we actually witness the power of the processors? On paper it looks good. Those benchmark tests look impressive. But in terms of the everyday user using his/her phone, do we actually notice the true power of the processor? Im sure if we do its very minimal. Yes maybe using a Note 3 after using a Galaxy S1 u would notice something but these annual upgrades are barely noticable. Its like trying to spot the difference between 2 screens where one is lets say 400ppi and the other 441ppi. On paper they different but our eyes cannot distinguish it. Anybody with me on this?

No, N95 was single core, what makes them say Dual ARM11 is that it was one of the 1st phones along with the SE W900 to feature a separate HW 3D Accelerator aka GPU.

Snapdragon805 is already dated, its still a 28nm 32bit CPU. The upcoming Samsung Exynos is a 14nm 64bit and so is the upcoming LG Odin, lets not forget the Apple A7. Seems Qualcomm will be left behind next year.

I also have a note 3, but I believe the answer to your question is no we dont. The truth is manufacurers are running out of i

DISREGARD!

wtf?!

thats interesting polo I did find it a bit hard to stomach that it was dual core!

to hell with all this, my next phone is a Note 3, and that's some time next year June! outdated or not!
