5 Myths about Quad-core Smartphones

Myth No. 5: You Can’t Miss the Operating System

No matter how many cores your smartphone has, its actual performance depends upon how the operating system manages threads of code and processes. Presently the quad-core fever is mainly with the Android phones, the iPhone 4S is dual-core and the Windows Phones are still single core. Microsoft doesn’t run multiple apps in the background, but still you can pick-up from where you left. On the other hand Android runs multiple threads at the same time which can make the whole system unstable and less responsive.
