Lord_Reed:
Now you ate speaking from the other side of your mouth. Recall very well that you mentioned nothing of other factors. Your post said and I quote:
'now, most nigerians feel the number of cores a processor hastranslates into its functionality and performance..
actually that is not the case most times as seen here..'

Your post was focused on CPU prowess so don't twist it now. If you know about benchmarking software you will know that Geekbench tests only CPU performance and so what I posted destroys your argument that a dual core A9 outperforms a quad core A7.

I have had extensive hands on use with the Grand Duos, its a nice phone but my Dream D1 quite visibly outperforms it in any screen clarity, processing power, graphics quality or any other spec you care to mention while being cheaper.

Quadcore is not just great in theory it also translates to solid real world performance.

lemme be straight.. Based on raw individual speeds of cores, quad cores are generally faster... But in translating this speed functionality into the normal day to day usage speed of the smartfone the dual cores are more proficient.. Mind you, the main yardstick for developing quad cores was to decrease the cache vol. on each cpu so as to have more independent cpu's handling different tasks, thereby increasing their efficiency in handling multiple tasks at thesame time.. Now more cores translate to more circuit distance btw d individual cores resulting in longer time for signals to travel from one core to d oda and also signal damping, all these coalesce to reduce the overall speed of the quad core... Quad cores will outperform dual cores only when one uses a device that requires tremendous multitasking, and most andriod multitasking is below average in a scale of the tremendous..

Only in Naija forums and website you see retards asking if a Techno phone is better than a Samsung phone.... SMH!!

Bros, na so one of them peope tell me b4 I started researching into the glass myself. Never knew a dragontail glass ever existed sef until I heard it 2wks ago.

Dragontrail Glass www.en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragontrail

patrkq:
get ur facts right..
i use an s2, started from 2.3 gingerbread currently on 4.1 jellybean

4.1?? I thought they said all samsung phones will get updates to 5.0??

Most of the people here screaming samsung, BMW, don't even have a Samsung galaxy pocket.... They are BB users or forgotten Nokia java/synmbian users

TEAM TECNO####.. Haters gonna hate sha!.Wheneva I bring out my A+, ma BB users no dey fit use thumb ping again.. Even my iPhone 4 is feeling abandoned..Tecno till 9ja wins world cup!

Are you saying that a dual core A15 CPU will outperform a quad core A15 CPU? That will be very laughable if that is what you are saying.

physise: i think u should go for a+
a+ has quadcore,grand has dual core
both have 1gb ram
galaxy grand have 8gb of internal storage while a+ has 4gb of internal storage
galaxy grand runs on android 4.1 n its upgradable to 4.2 while a+run on android 4.2 nt upgradable to 4.3
a+ has hd resolution while grand has wvga resolution(bt d resolution is ok)
grand has ambient light senson which can control d brightness when u r looking at d screen to prevent it frm going off ..a+ lacks it
both have proximity sensor
galaxy grand has dlna while a+ lacks it
both have wifi hotspot
only advantage a+ have over grand is
1)quadcore processor
2)hd resolution
3)price difference
d rest advantage goes to grand..am going to get grand dis month

correction please

Samsung Grand duos
4gb internal storage, not 8gb

Tecno A+
1.0ghz Dual core, not 1.2ghz quad-core

*waiting for xperia Z Ultra

can u guys beliv dat d tecno a+ is dualcore??

bechmark just open im yansh now..

slinkman: can u guys beliv dat d tecno a+ is dualcore??

bechmark just open im yansh now..

lol no diff at all btw f7 n a+

n.oxide:

thanks for d correction

lol..GOD catch all this techno boys wey dey shout quad core..I should be comparing galaxy s1 with this phone

opestein: lol..GOD catch all this techno boys wey dey shout quad core..I should be comparing galaxy s1 with this phone

Ah ahnn Naw

Francheezy:


Ah ahnn Naw

bro enter tecno a+ thread now oo... they just confarm say na dualcore ooo...

tecno suppose compete with nokia symbian e5 not samsung oo...

infact i dey go start tht thread nw

ibietela2:

4.1?? I thought they said all samsung phones will get updates to 5.0??

Haters just sit behind their phones and come up with non-existent thing just so they could hate. Is this how much frustrated you are? Dont be stupid and stop displaying your folly on every thread. Do you just hate on samsung because you cannot afford to their devices? The s2 will get updates up to 4.2.2 while the s3 will get up to KLP 5.0. I do not know where you came up with all samsung phones will get updates to 5.0. Ohh....I forgot...You dug that out of your dumbass brain.

Abeg, you have an idea how much the Galaxy Grand Duos goes for, and is it upgradeable to 4.3?

Kingmanny88:

costs 45k-53k, all depends on where you purchase it from. Probably it will get 4.3 all depends on samsung.

Ogetogeo:

The UMI X2 is the 2gb/32gb version. Buying and shipping to Nigeria cost 65k

Wow thas xpensive saw in one website that is 11,000inidan rupess plus shipping whch is around 40k

slinkman: bro they are causing a stir in NAIRALAND al0ne.. Africa no know dis phone Tecno...

lwkmd

My broda either u live in a cave in Nigeria or u've simply lost touch wit civilization to notice. I guess nairalanders using Tecno are resident in d Antarctica.

slinkman: can u guys beliv dat d tecno a+ is dualcore??

bechmark just open im yansh now..

no mind tecno dem.sabi lie for specs.na so dey say dem de us qualcomm snapdragon until benchmarks open dia nyash... dat dia 8mp camera very low quality sensor. mtk chipsets are very cheap and are low performance to counterparts clocked at the same speed and using the same architecture, like broadcom, novathor... why wont it be cheap. i ll rather show off nokia asha and co. than tecno all in the name of android. tecno fans ehh. dat was how i saw a man that bought a recharge card and it refused to load he started complaining to the sales girl. when she said let her load it buy herself the man was reluctant to give her saying things like press here , press here. only for me to look and see that it was N13,000 tecno p3 that was shackin the man. nawa the sales girl was even using a torch 2(only GOD kns hw she got it)

a+ na quadcore

You are the one singing it in all threads..... So why is there no 4.2.2 update for s2 yet?? 4.3 was released a month ago why is s3 still behind??

slinkman: fact...iphone aint better than samsung... then again, A+ is nothing close to the samsung duos... the duos is way better... why would u waste 33grand on a crappy tecno ish, when u can buy somtin way way better for 49 grand...


will u go and buy a kekenapep coz its cheap, if u hav money for a good peugot 406?? simply becoz u will hav som money left to fuel d keke napep i rather be caught using a nokia java phone.. than use a tecno excuse for android..

we're talking android phones this nitwit is comparing car with keke napep.Android phone vs Android phone...car vs keke niggar you acted dumb to prove a point clap for yourself! Weldone! Lol

physise: a+ na quadcore

some fools don't know there's difference between tecno phantom A (dual core) and tecno phantom A+(quad core) they are two different phones..... A is 1.0 GHz and A+ is 1.2 GHz both HD screens.....u plastically laggy Samsung users should wake up.....tecno is out with a bang on your assssssss

could u be dis stupid?? ouchh

You do know when a + is added to a previous phone, it's just the same number of cores with an overclocked cpu?

I might be wrong about tecno though

u should be ashamed of yourself. dont u feel betrayed by ur lovely tecno. 'phantom a' you rushed and bought... some months later 'phantom a+' that claims to have quadcore and at thesame price. dont u feel cheated. and u call samsung 'plasticy laggy'hmmmm. and as for u may GOD deliver ur blid and blocked mind from the strong hold of tecno.

. see Mr fool, u can't possibly know phone specs more than I do....I'm not here to prove any for any brand but to let dumbass like you to know the diff btw A and A+ so wake up
