I couldn't agree more with your thought process, pretty much right in line with what I am thinking. I do not need a dual core processor, I just want apps to open faster and the 1.4ghz handles that with flying colors. I really want LTE and bigger battery and a better camera and these are all present on the mango devices.
I am most definitely getting a new phone by march (supposed to be release month). My biggest debate is between titan or lumia then though, 16mp camera sounds awesome with a dedicated processor for doing hd, but from what I read that isn't everythign and the carl zeis on the lumia could be just as good. I dont think there is beating that build quality either, HTC does a great job but people will be wowed when you whip out the lumia 900.
The Titan II is definitely a nice phone. For me, 4.7" is way to big. 4.3" is my limit for usability/nice screen real estate balance. The 16MP camera is ok, but I'm hearing its being compressed into 8MP file sizes, and from what I hear the CZ Lens on the 900 is quite amazing. They did a lot of work to the imaging hardware for optimization, and are using an f2.2 sensor which means super fast and great in low light. The 4S camera is an f2.4 which is still amazing, but the lower the number F stop the more light it lets in. Better in low light, less need for flash/washing out photos.
Not that either phone wouldn't be excellent. If they were both 4.3" would be harder for me, but would still give edge to lumia just based on these things:
- the unibody design they used on the n9/800/900 is simply beautiful. Best looking phone I've ever seen.
- I think the camera is 'slightly' better
- The nokia apps. Nokia drive, maps, the coming Lens app and others, and the EA games ect.
- Their non pentile Clear Black display is going to be better in outdoor / sunlight.
- I am almost going to bank on the fact that it has a superior quality radio/reception.
im probly gona keep waiting
im still on a first GEn Samsung FOCUS and i have ZERO problems . all my games run smoth no problem. ( im a big gamer )
and unless they come out with a new phone with MIND BLOWING SPECS! or my phone cant update to new OS..... then ill switch.
and by mind blowing.... i mean AMOLED HD screen LOL ... processors doesn't really effect games that much .. it be nice to get more RAM doh. that would make game run smother then duel-core.
duel-core is only good for multy tasking ( witch WP doesn't do( for does that are confused *quick resume* and *multy tasking* int the same thing) ), and for "multi-threaded" applications, ( witch WP also doesn't do yet and honestly is sorta useless)
if you want a smother game you need RAM . not duel-core. (btw)
but w/e ill be waiting i think till the end of this year for Apollo phones. ( at lease )
Well the argument for dual core for games is this: If you are going to hold the phone for 2-3 years, many future games will be CODED for dual core optimizaion (more hardcore games, not the ones most play). So it will be something you will want in coming years if you are somebody who is really into mobile gaming. I will get a new phone after a year or two at most, and don't game that much. More of time wasting small games before movies ect.
Its also something you want for 1080p encoding, not that I'd want to store those massive files on my phone personally lol.
