The 1st pentium was a 75Mhz version followed by the 90 and the 100, etc etc lol. The 75 was superior in every aspect to my 486DX [MENTION=893273]100Mhz[/MENTION] :P

About the 64-bit arch on mobile devices: I agree that today and probably in the near future is not actually needed, but its good for the continuous evolution of mobile computers.

Personally i would prefer new technologies in the Battery department than more and more powerful pocket computers. Nobody can do serious work on a cellphone so why do we need so much compute power anyway? To se UHD on a 5 inch screen? lol that is so ridiculous. Even on a 10 inch screen anything above 1080p is nonsense because we can't notice the difference...

Why do people buy an S5 with QHD recording abilities when neither the screen can render that or QHD TV's are still too expensive? its just fad and human need to say "i got the new toy"...
[Android General] RaiderWill:
Pentium 75mhz..

My Toothbrush has that much juice in 2014... :cool:

We've come a long way baby..... ;)

No company can survive without updating product.. I get that..

But I envision a richer " Advanced Features Technology" winning out over just Raw Computational Power.

As long as there is enough power to run the Holographic 3D images and Quantum Games we will start to see in the next 3 to 5 years,

The Bits / Megahertz race will die.. People will want the Incredible Tech we are about to witness and care less about what powers it.. :cool:

The S5 ( And soon to be announced S5 Prime ) along with other devices are part of that future I was mentioning.

The Heart Rate app that is incorporated into the S5 has been around for years now.. ( Googleplay ) but the average consumer has no idea of that.. so, Samsung can market that like they do in the commercials here as "Wonderful New Technology In Your 2014 Phone" and make it look like 2025 in 2014.. It's really no big deal to someone like us.. but for someone that has no idea what XDA is, or is all about.. it appears to be *State of the Art* new magic Technology in a cellular device..

That's what marketing is all about.. :cool:

and why you see 4K Recording, Heart Rate Monitoring, Voice Commands.. etc. but also remember, here in the States there are a lot of folks that can afford those 4K Sets... So it's not as far fetched as it might seem as we swing towards 2015.. but I agree, people of average means, really don't need all the features the $600.00 to $800.00 devices offer..

That's why I still have my $125.00 Alcatel One Touch.. ;)

But even this cool little 4.5" cell phone has some pretty neat features !

To have the option of having my SD Card as the "Primary Drive" and to have options to use, Voice or Face recognition options for $125.00 ( some carrier's here now have this phone for like $99.00 ! ) is one of the main reasons I get a smile on my face when I use this puppy.. It's really all you need in a phone..

But I have to admit.. The upcoming OnePlus One @ $299.99 is not a bad deal for what you get if you have not checked that device out, go on youtube and watch some reviews.. It's a "Flagship Killer" at that price point for sure.. :cool:
[Android General] Exnor:
Hi mate,

Sorry for the late reply.

Yes that Alcatel is a very nice piece of hardware for its price... if i wanted to sell my gnex i would get one of those, after all it does everything i need on a cellphone computer. i dont know how much it cost here in the EU but i have to check (can you tell me what One Touch version you have? i found a lot of variants on GSMarena :P)

Well quantum computation is still in is baby steps and its not very good for accurate math... so maybe in 30 years or so lol.

Yep i forgot that in the US a lot of people can afford 4k(UHD) screens right now... but in EU i dont know... plus to buy a 4k right now is just a waste of money since not even the H265 (EHVC) is being used by content providers (except for Netflix as far as i know). And there is the big question about how much lossy compression is used... there is no reason for having a 4k to see macroblocks or other high losses characteristics... (I never saw a IPTV or stream, etc... to match Blu-Ray quality... and Blu-ray movies still have lossy compression ...)

For me more FPS would be better and more important TV's with algorithms to minimize the LCD/OLED blur that our eyes see (Phillips had this before they left the TV market... now they are back lets see...).

Also, although i'm not a fan of Stereoscopic image, Autostereoscopic multi angle screens would be very nice (i quite like my 3DS "3D" effect) if possible.

i'm quite curious to see the S5 Google edition price...
[Android General] RaiderWill:
Hey Exnor... :cool:

This is the model from Alcatel that I have..

It's the One Touch Fierce..

I'm waiting on the LG-G3 but don't know if I'll fork out $700.00 for a phone.. but, with 2560 x1440P Resolution, The new Snapdragon 805 CPu, The New Adreno 420 GPu, Removable Battery, and SD Card Slot... It ticks ALL the boxes.. :cool:

I'm sure you've seen the Samsung S5 Prime buy now.... If you are going to go S5.. Go Prime.. That device should hold you for at least 2 -3 years.. and it has the same specs as the LG-G3.. :cool:
[Android General] Exnor:
oh no my friend i'm not spending a dime on a new phone so soon loool, i'm just curious about the prices thats all. My Gnex does everything i need and more so i have zero reasons to get a new one (unless it dies on me :S)

Yes i was under the impression you had the Fierce and i was correct lol. in my country it sells a little bit cheaper if you get it SIM locked... Still is a great buy.

Dont want to be pedantic but the 805 is a SoC with a 4 core Krait CPU lol not a CPU itself (but since a SoC does all the work i think we can call it a Central Processing Unit... but we are including the GPU, mem controllers, and all the logic inside :P).

Why do you want a QHD screen on a cellphone? personally i think it brings practical improvement... but that my opinion.
[Android General] RaiderWill:
SoC is the "Shell" with the GPu / CPu being the components inside.. so when speaking it's normal to just refer to Android structure as a whole as SoC...

1440P (2K) is going to be spectacular for movies and game play even reading.. it's enough of a jump from what I've read for me to make the plunge later on this year.. I really was leaning towards the OPPO Find 7 since it ticks all the boxes but... if I had an issue with it, I would have to ship it back to china.. And I don't like the sound of that.. and now I'm reading the LG-G3 is shipping with the Snapdragon 801 CPu and Adreno 330 Gpu... Instead of the newer 805 CPu / 420 GPu that the Samsung S5 Prime and HTC M8 Prime are shipping with.. So I have to pause on that device as well until comparisons are done in reviews to see what the differences are.. I have a car and a motorcycle that I'm going to sell this summer so a percentage of those proceeds can go towards one of these hot new devices and I can still fetch a nice sum from my fierce because it unlocked and can run on about 8 different carrier's here in the states and any GSM carrier around the world..so I won't be selling my soul for a new device, but if I see something I like I should be able to get it... :cool:
[Android General] Exnor:
Hi mate, once again sorry for the delay on the reply...

Well i'm more "excited" for UHD (2160p) res than QHD... QHD does not bring that more pixels to the screen :/ Plus i would love to see movies in 48fps or even more... but one can dream right? And its not eve a problem for physical distribution since Sony i partnership with others OD devs as announced a few months ago the new optical storage disk will be perfect to the next step of High def. (and even TDK already had a near Terabyte Blu-ray about 2 years ago so...)

About the new devices... not going to buy unless my Gnex dies. Sure they are impressive but that price tag... no way. My friend got a Note 3 4 months ago for 800 euros and now it sells about half the price... that sucks :/
[Android General] RaiderWill:
Hello My Friend.. :cool:

4K TV's are here in abundance and ready for purchase.. even Samsung's new "curved" 78 inch model is ready for purchase for $7,999.99..

But.. the regular flat 55 inch (120hz) model is only $2,499.99. That's what's nice about the latest flagship phones.. they are able to record 4K video.. so you can capture your family moments in 4K, and cast them to your 4K TV for viewing which is pretty cool.. :cool:

I don't have to have that beautiful curved display @ $8,000.00 but.. I could see getting the $2,500.00 55 inch 4K set this time around and in a few years, getting a curved display.. by then there will be lots to choose from at 1/3 the current price point..

I don't know what part of the planet you reside on.. but to have to spend $1,100.00 on flagship phone is almost unbelievable.. and I feel sorry for you in that respect.. that same Note 3 brand new is only $545.00 / $399.00 Euros here in the states. So I can see why you say you are going to keep your devices until they collapse and die or rebuild them if you can.

I'm going to let the Prime devices unfold this summer since time is really racing by here in 2014.. and see what the fall brings. So far, my little old One Touch Fierce is doing just fine and I spend the bulk of my time fooling with my G-Pad 8.3.. If the Nexus 8.9 being announced in a few weeks at Google I/O is driven by a Snapdragon Engine, I'm going to go for that first and definitely just upgrade my phone around Black Friday / Cyber Monday. If the rumors are true ( and I pray they are not ) and the Nexus 8.9 ships with a Tegra 4 or K (whatever they're calling it these days..) engine, then the HTC built Nexus 8.9 is a NO GO for me.. I'm not going to get another tablet that is "Hands Off" here on XDA. :cool:
[Android General] Exnor:
Hi mate, once again late on my reply i'm sorry :P

I live in Portugal (you can check it out on Google street view loool, in the Iberian Peninsula, were all Latinos are descended from, since we actually owned the South American continent looooooool after we butchered the natives of course).

Yep prices here are high as F**k... :/ 4K tv's are available here too but way way expensive.

Personally i'm going to wait for UHD (2160p) tv's to drop price and become the new standard... until then my IPS LCD LG tv set its just perfect.

Also i'm not a fan of curved tv's.... i've seen them live on the shop and its view angles are "broken" because the screen is curved... it makes no sense to me to have one unless is about 80 inch or above size (lol).

Yep nexus is already showing off Tegra K devices... they are sweet on the specs... lets see the prices.

For now i'm saving to get a new console in 2015, still did not decided with one... but probably going to continue with xbox :P
[Android General] RaiderWill:
Hello My Friend.. :cool:

You may be able to kill a few birds with One Stone if you go this route:

This looks interesting.. and should arrive around the holiday season.. :cool:
[Android General] Exnor:
Hi mate,

yep i saw that one too, and the specs (Tegra K1 SoC), now lets see how much will it cost.

But aside de ppi resolution i don't see any advantage in having a 2160p (UHD) res on such a small screen :P... my FHD already gives me a great ppi dept to read even the smallest fonts...

What i want is a good affordable UHD 37 or 39 inch TV. I don't have space for bigger one loool. And Philips (that just got back to the market of TV's) is showing off again their superior LCD tech with anti-LCD blur algorithms... Lets see if Samy and LG give us that too.

Also i'm not getting near OLED tech until they discover a way to 1- avoid oled burns (my Gnex got a burn on the android status bar clock) and 2- manufacture blue oled's that last as long as the others and 3- (way important to me this one) usage of RGB instead of Pentile matrix or Kodak Matrix or any other matrix that does not produce the quality of a RGB one.

The quantum dots tech looks promising but screens already available (only on mobile devices) are being criticized for showing inferior quality than LCD and OLED... Did not saw any on showcase where i live so i can't comment on that.
[Android General] RaiderWill:
Hello My Friend..

The nice part about not being in a hurry to get one of these already stunning sets that are on the market.. is, it gives you time to save some more money and wait for the right set for you and your family. I can't wait to see this New Nexus 8.9 in 10 days... I also like the new Samsung Tab S 10.5 with it's beautiful SuperAmoled Screen.. I had a Galaxy Note 1 that had the SuperAmoled Screen @ 5.3".. I loved it.. and should have kept that phone.. :cool: But, so far I really like what I'm seeing with the new Samsung @ 10.5".. it's opening price here will be $499.99 but I have to see what this HTC Nexus is all about as well.. even though we are starting to get a LOT of ROM's for my G-Pad 8.3 ( even though I pretty much just run the Mahdi-ROM it's vastly superior to the rest.. ) NOTHING gets support like a Nexus device here on XDA.. So I'm hoping the CPu consist of the 4 Krait A-15's and the GPu is the Tegra K1.. That would make it "the" candidate for ROM development.. And that combo would.. @ $399.00 be enough to make my cash JUMP out of my pockets the 1st week of availability and force me to decline the Tab S 10.5.. I'm also hoping it closely resembles this.. :cool:
[Android General] Exnor:
If only i could get those prices here were i live lol. The Tab S here will be about 600 to 700 dollars :S or more.
[Android General] RaiderWill:
Well..:cool:

The good news is.. You and your wife are 100% happy with your phones and tablets.

And you are already saving for your UHD TV....You're Good..

For Me.. A new Tablet & Phone are in the plans for 2014.. But there is no rush.. Time to let things unfold at this stage.. ;)
[Android General] Exnor:
Hi mate, once again sorry for the late reply :/

Yep so far me and my wife are happy with our devices. Really don't see any reason to upgrade in the near future.

And yep already saving for a nice UHD tv, but only going to buy one when the prices drop and becomes the new standard... so i think i have time to save money loool.
[Android General] RaiderWill:
Hello My Friend... :cool:

Time is on your side.. ;) I'm ok for now as well... I want to hand the cashier $100.00 dollars bills not a Credit Card for my upgrades.. :cool:

So like you I'll wait.. and save. Picking a phone is the hardest part for me at this point.. I'm leaning towards the Note 4 because, I know the Note 4 is going to REALLY pack a punch.. whether it's the Snapdragon 805 / Adreno 420... the Exynos Big / Little 1.9 / 1.3 Octacore or the 64-Bit Tegra K1 and it's 192 cuda core Gpu.

Even here in the States, the Note 4 will command $749.99 - $799.99.. especially if it has the rumored YOUM Tri-Sided Screen and a rumored new design.. That price point, +Tax + A Case + A Screen Protector would approach $900.00.. Ouch :cool:

Yep.... Time to keep saving the pennies..
[Android General] Exnor:
Hi mate,

wow that Note 4 is almost more expensive in the US... how much does a Note 3 cost there? in here i've seen it as low as 430Euros...

Of topic, just got a Vodafone Smart 4 (Qualcomm SoC dual A7 Cortex) for 60 bucks brand new and for the price its quite good... I needed a cheap phone to use as a backup and for work and this one does the job...

And it was easily rooted by the Geohot method :D (one click and it was done. No ADB,CWmod, just the apk GeoHot made).

And it brings Android 4.4.2 from the factory... for the price i am impressed... 60 bucks on the Vodafone shop man.
[Android General] RaiderWill:
Hello My Friend.. :cool:

The Note 3 comes in many forms.. Carrier Branded and several versions of the International model.

They range anywhere from about $550.00 up to $700.00 still... prices will drop in a few months when the Note 4 is released for sale.

If the Developers start to work with it, another good buy is the Huawei Ascend Mate 2 @ $300.00 bucks.. 6.1" and only 720P.. but it's a cheap Phablet with some features. but it's stuck on 4.3 and stuck with Huawei's "Emotion UI" for the interface.. The price is certainly right but Emotion UI? I can't get with that.. :cool:

Good buy on your device.. you can't go wrong with a backup phone for $60.00 bucks.. ;)
[Android General] Exnor:
Hi mate,

So Note 3 prices here in Europe are starting to be lower than the US... lol thats funny.

Anyway i'm not getting nothing from Huawei ever again (or until they level up the quality)... Why? simple i have an Ideo X3 and is pure garbage in terms of material, especially the touchscreen... and i've tried the latest models and the quality still sucks.

Even this Vodafone Smart 4 that only cost me 60 bucks is better in every aspect than any low end devices from Huawei... and this device was manufactured by a PRC almost unknown company for Vodafone Europe.

No way i'm giving more than 50 bucks for any huawei phone. Oh and i'm not even accounting for the bloatware that Huawei stuffs in their Android build... I had to root and flash a homebrew version on my Ideos x3 because the stock software was horrible...

I know people complain about Samy bloatware but they should take a look at Huawei's crap...
[Android General] RaiderWill:
My Goodness Exnor.. (LOL !) :cool:

Remind me never to mention the "H" word ever again! :laugh:

I've never heard such passion out of you Exnor.. your experience was truly epic my friend.

I also own a Huawei Prism II it's a 3.5" smartphone and it works just fine.. It's a little slow with it's 1Ghz CPu and 512 megs of Ram, but I've never had any issues with touch sensitivity or any problems whatsoever with the little device.

A lot of folk don't know that Huawei was the *3rd Largest* manufacture behind Samsung & Apple for 2013.. and here in the states my friend they are going to make a big push.

The Ascend Mate 2 is one of the best kept secrets out there.. 6.1 inch enhanced 720P display with 79% Screen-to-Body ratio,13MP rear / 5MP front facing cameras and the front even does panoramic selfies :cool: micro SD Card support, LTE support across all Global Networks, 4,000+ mAh battery that gives 2 days heavy usage ( It's almost as big as the one in my LG G-Pad 8.3 ) the list goes on and on.. and here it only cost $299.99.. the more I watch reviews of it.... oh man..

The LG-G3 just went up for pre-order here as well today we have a carrier named T-Mobile that is selling the 32GB / 3GB's of Ram version for $598.00.. that's a great price as well.. the Note 4 is about 60 days away.. the One Plus One's are starting to ship..( 64GB model @ $350.00 ) (16GB model @ $299.00 ) decisions..decisions.. :cool:

But I'll never mention the H word to you again my friend !!!
[Android General] Exnor:
Lol ok i dont hate Huawei i just don't think they have decent products for the price they ask... And i know they are trying to be at LG or Samy's level but the poor quality of the materials does not let them at that level. They are cheap with the materials and construct quality (and durability...).

Maybe one day they can be... but not now. And i would advise anyone to not spend big money on any device from them... they are at the level of any PRC cheap ass OEM... so they should sell at that price.

On another subject, i'm really curious to see what google will release to replace/upgrade the Nexus 5...
[Android General] ZeroKcm:
1141

Thanks :angel:
[Android General] RaiderWill:
I'm.. NEVER going there with the H word again... Moving On.. :cool:

Some exec at Google I/O said the Nexus Line is not going anywhere... if that be the case, then I would say we are looking at a 5.5" 1440P Nexus-6 with a Snapdragon 805 / Adreno 420 Engine with the same 16/32GB options and of course no SD Card support. :cool:
[Android General] Exnor:
Ah mate i've i Dont hate Huawei... lol. i mean it. i'm just pissed with the quality thats it.

Well i hope the next Nexus will bring 64-bit Armv8 cores... because if the timeline maintains, it will be around the time i will be inclined to get a new Nexus so.. it would very nice to have 64-bit linux kernel possibility. And i hope this time the screen is better than the one on my Gnex :/ .. F*ck!ng OLED burns!
[Android General] RaiderWill:
Google can go a lot of ways with the Nexus 6.. :cool:

They can stay conservative ( and make the Developers happy ) and just go with the Snapdragon 805/ Adreno 420.. and no one would complain,

Or they can go somewhat "Exotic" and pair something with that 192 Cuda-Core Terga K1 Gpu.

I'm not sure if the Nexus Line will get any form of the 64-bit because that is supposedly being reserved for the Google *Silver Line* of devices.. which will have the Qualcomm's very first commercially available 64-bit SoC in the Snapdragon 810.

You can always step up to the Silver Line around February-March.. and get a 64-bit device for sure. :cool:
[Android General] Exnor:
Hi mate, im sorry for this very late reply but i was on vacation and with very limited internet access...

Well since we talk last time Nvidia announced their K1 based gaming tablet... now what do you think about that? :)

Also Allwinner announced that they will start SoC ARMv8 64bit manufacturing latter this year...

cheer mate.
[Android General] RaiderWill:
Hello My Friend.. :cool:

Hope the vacation went well.. The Nvidia device looks ok... I will not be spending $300.00 bucks on it.. I'm still disappointed that this change over of Nexus to Nexus-Silver has disrupted the release cycle of their products.. I was looking forward to the HTC built Nexus 8.. but it looks like that will not happen to late 2014-early 2015.. so for now, since the G-Pad is holding it's value at $200.00 - $225.00.. I'm just going to keep it a while longer.. it's running great on a ROM called Mahdi with the 5/20 release.. it's by far the best ROM I've ever encountered for the G-Pad 8.3..

So, I'm static & stationary as far as tablets are concerned for the present...

I am in the process of building another computer.. :cool: and trying to decide if I want to go with the Z97 / Socket 1150 chipset.. my Socket 1156 MSI GD-80 finally took a crapper after 5 years of EXCELLENT service and it seems the Z97 is the Latest & Greatest.

I got an invite to purchase a 64GB Sandstone OnePlusOne phone the other day...

I deleted that S*it... :cool:

How dare a company give you a 24 HOUR WINDOW TO SPEND Y-O-U-R MONEY!!! ON THEIR FRACKEN DEVICE!!!

F*CK OnePlusOne... I don't trust them as far as I can throw them.. All they've done is miss deadlines and make excuses why they did so.. what a joke of a company.. and what do you do if that china phone breaks?

I trust my 4.5 inch Alcatel from T-Mobile more than I trust 5.5 inch knockoff OnePlusOne. :cool:
[Android General] Exnor:
Hi mate,

So in the US you get invites to spend money? ROFLOL.

Yep i never trust this PRC knock off's.... especially because PRC government might include some bonus spyware in there :P

On the Nexus subject... the rumors are that a 5.9inch phablet will be the next Nexus phone, made by Motorola :). Maybe this will be the one to replace my gnex...

The so called silver line, so far i've not found any rumored devices... and i don't know if they will be as good as the Nexus line :/

The HTC 8 inch Nexus Tablet seem to be heading to be a reality in 2 months so you only have to wait :)

On a more related to the OP thread (LOL) i've tried Towelroot method with no success on my FHD, but i did not fiddle with the options since i honestly have no necessity to have root on the tablet so far... I did however rooted my Vodafone Smart 4 with this method :)

:cool:
[Android General] pakom8:
