Is there a point in buying a dual core phone?

Posted by Immortal on Apr 04, 2011

I`m going to change my android cell and I was wondering if there is really a point having a dualcore cellphone...are there really apps that need that much of a resource?

Maybe some games...but if you want a compatible phone in future I think you should buy a dual core cell phone....if you have the money of course

I think its better to look for a Tegra phone, rather than a dual-core one. Currently there is no point in having so much power, but things are going to change.

These 4" monsters are getting closer to the tablets. I guess lots of future phones will have dual-core CPUs to answer the power demand of the high res playback/capturing. However, the specs aren't panacea. There are a lot of opportunities and developments to be made. I'm sure Android will be getting even closer to what I consider one nice OS. Specs are just the start. So, yeah, If you plan to change your device in the near future, go for the one that best suites you like overall experience. If you don't change your phones frequently and wish to be prepared for the future, the dual-core phone like the Optimus 2X is your best bet.

Fast is good, faster is better and fastest is best. Same goes for mobile phones. Get the most powerful one you can afford ;). I bet that soon we'll see apps that can make good use of the two cores.

LG's back in the game. If I wanted an Android powered handset I'll definitely consider this one. Looks slick, too.
