Gadget Mill: Samsung have recently announced their highly anticipated new flagship smartphone the Galaxy S4. I as many people were completely hyped up about the upcoming announcement as Samsung are known to always bring something new to the table, something innovative and revolutionary as previous rumours suggested.
Unfortunately as soon as the Galaxy S4 was unveiled literally out of a box at the Samsung unpacked event I was not impressed. First I thought it was a joke as it looked exactly like the Galaxy S3. Then suddenly reality hit me and well it was actually the S4, but hey maybe they had something revolutionary hidden under the bonnet? The answer to that is a yes and no.

I'm using Alliance rom 7.1 atm on a S2.
Very nice.
But it's just nice to see new features added to older phones.
it's not like all 8 cores will work together at any given time as the lower clocked 4 cores are for lower level process to save power while the other 4 cores which are higher clocked are used when at full capacity while the other 4 go idle! basically the S4 is just a QUAD CORE phone with a twist
the S4 is in no way more powerful than the likes of Xperia Z and HTC One both have Quad core CPU and 2GB RAM with Full HD display.
and the s4 is more powerful than xperia z and htc one, what are you smoking?
But there will be no instance when more than 4 cores working at the same time. So, it's technically Quad Core! The lower clocked 4 cores are to save power unlike with other phones where the same 4 cores do everything! Samsung is trying to show that this solution will save power and equipped the S4 with a mid range battery unlike the beefier ones in Xperia Z.
the only reason Samsung use it in S4 is because they want to promote it so other people will use it over other manufacturers as they have just recently lost their biggest consumer, Apple!
