please i need someone to enlighten on this. I want to buy a phone. I have two brands option. Both brands have the same specifications. The only difference in the spec is this "core" thing. I mean one has dual while the other has quad core.

The one with quad core price tag is around N42,000 while the one with dual core is just N33,000 but every other things are the same.

i know one thing for sure, that quadcore should be more powerful than dual core

but my question now is,
is the quadcore thing worth coughing extra 9k and what exactly does these cores do on or to gadgets and is it important that i consider it before i buy any gadget?

As u know dat DUAL means 2, while QUAD means 4,is 2 & 4 dsame?

like h said. I know quad is more powerful than dual.
my question was, is it important to go for quad over dual and what does quad do that dual cant? What fun does quad add to the phone?

It's all about performance, if u luv games then go for the quad core but if it's basic use get d dual core nd save urself some bucks.
