I'm torn on the new crop of devices. I'm a flash addict and have done TONS of reading to master the S3 and the Note 2 (gave this one up.... just too big for my liking), but now I see the S4 has a locked bootloader and same with the HTC One. I can see owning either of them but I'm just not sure I won't to go back to scratch on the learning curve. Maybe I'll just milk this S3 for all the life it has in it.
Well from all the reviews I read on Quad-Core Cellphones they really are not truly Quad anyway. 2 of the cores operate for intensive applications and the other 2 go into a stand by type of mode. When doing less intensive stuff the other 2 kick in and the others go to sleep. So really you still are basically operating a Dual Core phone unless custom kernels can come up with a way to utilize all 4 at one time. As far as size goes, I can see many of the phones breaking unless you have a decent case and screen protector due to sliding out of pockets. At any, just got my SGS3 so I am on the hook for 2 yrs. with this phone now. Guess I shall see what happens by than, considering there should be fairly large upgrade for me by that point.
