Compare the three quad smartphone

Quad-core is increasingly mentioned in the specifications of upcoming smartphones in the fourth quarter of 2012, according to industry sources the resource Digitimes, will be "hot" on a number of announcements of high-performance devices.


Quad smart phones are interesting not only in terms of the number of cores, although it is certainly impressive. Their presence signifies the transition of mobile devices to a new level - not only improved processors, but all other hardware specifications. In 2012 higth-end smartphones have 4 cores, displays with high resolution (usually it is HD), and a capacitive battery. In general, the higher the bar, better design, better performance and endurance.

The authorship of the first wave of smart phones on quad-core processors belong to well-known vendors, HTC, Samsung Electronics, LG Electronics and Meizu, who began the development of this direction in the second quarter of 2012 Chinese companies ZTE and Huawei Device, submitted a quad-core models at the exhibition MWC 2012, do not hurry up with the beginning their mass production, although the informant does not rule out the deliveries of these devices later this quarter.


Compare the three quad smartphone: HTC One X, Samsung Galaxy S III, and LG Optimus 4X HD.

1. HTC One X

 He's the most beautiful of our trio. Keep this smartphone in your hand is a pleasure. Using them is also nice, because then a convenient interface Sense brand and an excellent screen without Pentile. What is not liked, because it is non-replaceable battery and no slot microSD. And One X works very little, especially if you include Wi-Fi and the screen brighter. In general, owners of One X would highly recommend to buy a mobile outlet, or rather an external battery pack - called the miracle power bank. Without this, your One X runs the risk of discharge at the wrong time and you do not have time to conquer the world.

2. Samsung Galaxy S III

This long-awaited continuation of a very popular line of smartphones. He even called the iPhone killer 5, has not yet seen. The fact that the Koreans as usual decided to save on materials of the case. Galaxy S III all plastic, glossy. Over time, scratches. But if they fall, it will be much stronger than any competitor, especially a glass iPhone. But if you do not drop, the model does not look like an expensive flagship. But the rest of the full order here. Galaxy S III is very fast, has an excellent camera, new software and a lot of interesting things. The battery capacious and replacement, is still here an expansion slot. The only thing I would even quarrel, it is a Pentile at the screen - not with HTC, or the LG does not. But at this resolution this stuff.

3. LG Optimus 4X HD

 This is the cheapest of the trio. If the HTC and Samsung recommended price tags 30 thousand rubles, for the LG - 25. At the dignity of Optimus 4X HD does not end there. LG as if watching the competition and put together their dignity - is the screen without Pentile like HTC and replaceable battery + microSD slot as the Samsung. It would seem the perfect smartphone. But it's the Koreans. The camera could be better, while the larger and louder speaker. Little things from spoiling, but at a lower price, much can be forgiven.

Let's compare our heroes

HTC and LG are working on the same chipset, Nvidia Tegra 3, but HTC little faster. Samsung overtakes them both. Judge for yourself. I liked the software with HTC, Samsung although the new chips are very interesting. The latest tracking of the user's eyes, voice control, video over other programs, etc. If all goes at the same rate, will soon give way to Sense TouchWiz first place in my ranking of the interfaces. Hours unequivocally on the side of Samsung. Thank you own chipset and energy-efficient display. He is the best camera, but here HTC slightly behind, and sometimes wins. Screens for all 720p, Samsung's deeper blacks, and the HTC and LG do not Pentile and more natural colors, I like HTC. As for expansion, then there is far ahead of Samsung and LG - and they have a removable battery (you can buy higher capacity or simply to replace the back cover), and microSD slot is still here. Outwardly simple outsider Samsung, LG's competitors, especially HTC looks and feels nicer.

So to summarize

Most liked the HTC One X. But it works very little, and it is a huge minus. Because of a mediocre autonomy model for many will not work. Samsung Galaxy S III the most balanced and practical. If you close your eyes to the plastic design, it is the best option. If you do not close, you can find a metal back cover, and live happily ever after. But LG Optimus 4X HD for those who are looking for affordable quad-core smartphone. Most likely, very soon the price for this model down to 20 thousand rubles or less, then it will be quite an interesting proposition.
