1. Quad-core Processor is the Buzzword!

When Dual-core smartphones where launched two years back it totally ruled the whole market, we can expect the same trend in case of Quad-core smartphones too. Recently launched HTC One X and the upcoming LG Optimus 4X HD and Huawei Ascend D are under this refreshed breed of smartphones.

Pros: When one task is handled by four processors it is meant to be finished fast, so these Quad-core smartphones promises to give high-performance and speed. As the work is distributed between the processors the battery draining is also less, which implies you can expect to see some extra juice in your device.

Cons: The full potential of Quad-core is functional only when all of your apps and games become multithreaded, presently developers are not ready to make these kinds of applications because its more complicated and tuff to debug. Even if your processor becomes Quad-core, you still have only one memory to fetch data from and one battery to a handle all this, so don’t expect doubling of performance in these phones. You can feel the high-performance of these phones only with some specially designed multithreaded games and while watching HD videos.
