Top 3 Quad-Core phones

Ever since a range of phones backed by quad-core processors were launched at the MWC this year, the smartphone industry has seen a rise in phones designed on similar lines. Consisting of four independent cores, all the phones available under this category usually are high-end phones. This is because the quad core allows users to run a number of tasks simultaneously or high usage programs more efficiently which are more commonly available on the high end phone market. The top 3 phones amongst them would be these:

Samsung Galaxy S3

As a phone that had supposedly managed to secure around 10 million pre-orders, Samsung’s Galaxy S3 has effectively surpassed most phones since its launch. The lightweight device, with a 4.8 inches HD Super AMOLED screen, a removable battery cover and expandable storage space of 64 GB, packs in several features that beat Apple’s iPhone, with respect to the price specifications as well. The Coming Gorilla Glass 2 which has been used in building the screen of the device is a clear winner if compared to HTC’s One X, giving the user an improved touch experience. The device offers excellent battery life and is supported by a quad-core processor, proving to be worthy of being labeled as the phone of the year.

LG Optimus 4X HD

A little late to the party, LG’s latest contribution to the smartphone market includes the 4X HD, its first phone which is backed by the quad-core processor. This will most certainly help give LG an edge over its other highly dominating rivals. Running on the slightly outdated Ice Cream Sandwich, the 4X HD offers a 4.7 inch HD-IPS screen, a light and thin body, support of the NFC technology and an 8 megapixel camera with LED flash. Moreover, the 2140 mAh battery places LG’s smartphone higher than the other two phones in question. However, owing to the delay in revolutionizing, the device, though cheaper than Samsung’s Galaxy, seems slightly more expensive than HTC’s One X.

HTC One X

HTC’s One X is a rather powerful, light and slick handset, running on a quad-core processor, and like LG’s Optimus 4X HD, supported by Nvidia’s Tegra 3, offering a speed of 1.7GHz. With a 4.7 inch 720p HD display screen with touch sensitive keys, the One X uses the Super IPS LCD 2 technology to impart life to the experience of gaming and watching movies. The battery of the device however has been locked into the body itself. The phone offers internal storage space of 32 GB, an 8 MP camera and the Beats Audio feature, turning the device into a decent music player, delivering fantastic and crisp quality audio on earphones as well as speakerphones.
