[OFFTOPIC] Exynos 3D demo @1080p / 60fps

Its hardly breaking a sweat
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsungs_exynos_4210_gaming_side_shown_off_at_the_gdc_2011-news-2388.php

Just can say : WOWEEEEHHHH !

A generic looking Starfox demo? I am still skeptical about the grafix race on smartphones. It's getting caught in the same mire as the PC. Tech demos that don't mean anything beyond fps counters and nerd bragging rights. The games that people actually play, like Magicka and Minecraft, can work on ancient hardware, not to mention WoW. As long as it helps multimedia use, UI acceleration, and power consumption, it is still justified. But beyond that when the focus is purely 3D gaming and the battery life goes to hell and the phone turns into a hand toaster, hopefully they will reel it in and stay pragmatic.

They've upped the graphical features since Cataclysm. Water physics/splashes are now in the game, for example.

It's still too early to tell which is better... Tegra 2 vs Exynos.

Not quite.
Captivate, XDA Premium, Cyanogenmod

Xperia play vs iphone4

My main requirement is gaming,music and good application support.Which will be better of the two.

I wouldn't get the play. From what I've read, and from what people have told me, the screen is terrible...that being said, go with another android phone! The samsung galaxy s2 is one of the highest rated phones I've ever seen. reviews have been insanely good

Xperia play!!!

I have the play in the MediaMarkt tested and the screen was actually very good.
But I would much prefer the GalaxyS2, because its a very cool phone.

I've tried the play, yes, the screen could be better, but its better than X10's, and the gaming controls are just awesome! (and I don't even game)

Get an Xperia arc

Sgs 2. You can't go wrong with it.
Of the two : depends on what you need. If you require smooth fast ui go for the iPhone. Otherwise go for the play.

if you were going to do that just keep your x10.

None?
Outdated processor, worse screen, etc....
Better camera maybe (I even doubt that, the new sgs2 camera is supposedly awesome).

Photon 4g

Ive hated motorola since I had the abomination that was the rokr. theyre phones have always screwed me over sooner or later on the software side, but this phone is calling to me.. its nice.. idk I think there's something wrong with me. I wouldnt get it over the gs2... but id definitely consider it. What do you guys think?

Hey I dont like motorola also!! But the photon looks like it kicks ass. i would consider it but my upgrades not till may and they're gonna have a better phone by then...
Sywped from mah Supasonic!

I'm getting it I never want another Samsung phone unless the dev community is past amazing

I was thinking that droids get alot of roms and cyanogens.Its probably just for their latest locked down phones.Have Atrix been rooted yet?
i dont like moto eather but Atrix was nice and screen on it almost as nice as my s amoled

To me, it just seems pretty basic. Not really feature packed.

That statement right there means you need to go into a store and play with one. It has a ton of features built in.
@OP: I share your exact same sentiment. I'm waiting for the within, and I hate motorola, but this phone is definitely enticing me. I feel like I'm under some sort of spell lol. The webtop alone is enough for me to consider it. It would be so nice to just throw it on the dock when I get home and fire up netflix or hulu. And have all my texts come through my tv. Ugh...its so tempting.

Feels laggy, specially for being a dual core processor device. Screen is pretty good, nothing to write home about though sadly. Just using it for half hour made me appreciate my nexus way more, I wouldn't grtbit unless iI knew dev community was huge and custom roms were outout
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App

The only interesting thing for me is has a sim slot, but nothing else to brag about.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

There isn't that's the thing lol other than the docking features and a few other things there's really nothing amazing about it.. but it still appeals to be for some huge reason. When the time comes to upgrade I'm gonna play with the photon first, then the within.

Will continue to wait it out for the GS2

Honestly were at the point there's nothing huge about any phone that comes out

They say it is Moto Blur that causes the Motorola devices to be laggy. Which is 100% true. Look at the Atrix

MOTO has always had horrible UI's. That was true even for their basic flip phones. I had the MOTO KRKZR years ago with Sprint... and the lag was awful.

How does everyone like this phone

I currently have a EVO 3d and I would like to know what you like and dislike about the phone and is it worth the switch

I like it lots and lots and lots and sometimes when i use an IPhone or a HTC Sensation i like it even more .I really like being able to talk to people by pressing a few numbers not sure if it will catch on though .

Had mine for the grand total of 4 days...so far i can't fault it. I upgraded from my zte blade, and this is just awesome!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

Well comparing it to the evo3d it basically has better specs plus hw acceleration which is a very nice feature. The screen is awesome imo, tho some people don't seem to like the oversaturated colours. Personally i love it but you have to check it yourself before you decide.
Anyway i wouldn't upgrade right now if i were you, you still have a very good phone, just wait for something newer and better, like the quadcores expected to come out in 2012

My first Android and like this so much. Even after using it for three months I still couldn't make it work the way I'd like, but still its not bad. Frankly, I'd be more happy if this device had iOS instead of Android.

If this phone had IOS instead of Android id sell it, IOS is nowhere near as good as Android, everything works out of the box but your strictly limited in what you can do,i hate restriction.

Best phone right now without a doubt, having owned it since May it's been excellent! Pervious Android device was the DHD, it's faster, smoother and slicker!

Fastest android phone out there, but build quality could be better.

tbh the only phone that could probably knock the sgs2 off it's perch is the motorola atrix.. bigger battery and tegra 2, but then i've never used one so i have no idea about user experience.

Hello My very post here. Best phone I ever owned. it would have been perfect if it was a tegra Device can't see why they did that for a flagship Device !!!!

You will miss sense. Htc phones have better dialer, more useful widgets, like for example favorite contacts and rss reader, better sms delivery report, lockscreen and ringtone volume management. On other side Sgs2 has better multimedia support (mkv) better screen and weight, brilliant call quality and its very smooth in menus.

What happened to Skies Of Glory?

Just wondering if there were any other SOG fans in here. It used to be such a great game. I just recently downloaded it again on Google play and now it doesn't work and the reloaded version doesn't work. Kinda sucks as it was as a great detailed WWII flight combat game. I tried some of the others and they just weren't the same. I'm not really into WWI games as much. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions as to a good replacement or how they stop that game free music FC on devices? Thanks!

I played SoG from the beginning of its release. As far as the Nexus 7 goes, it has never worked on it. The reason is that it is not compatible with the tegra 3, which is what we have for a graphics chip. It would require a major overhaul, and that will never happen. And as far as I can tell, it wont run on any android running 4.1.x or higher. Yes, it is a great game. But, it was released in December of 2009, and never got a good update to keep up with androids advancing versions.

Well thanks for the info. I thought I read somewhere about the Android 4.1.X or higher thing.. That's a shame. Have you found anything that satisfied that genre for you? I just haven't found it yet. Sky Gamblers is very similar but it's all WWI and that kinda limits the awesomeness.. Lol

What name did you fly with? (Cs)
No, I have found nothing of that genre to replace it for me. I didnt really like RoG either. D-pad games annoy me on devices with a full gyroscope. SoG was a perfect platform for control. Gyro and rudders.

I don't remember. I had installed on my GS2 back in the day and just recently thought "Hey that would be fun to play again" lol. These jet games suck too by the way.. Lol. Gosh makes me sad. I guess I could play the WWI games. The sad thing is that there are games out there that seem fun just mostly multi player online. I like the campaign modes. I used to have this one simulator back on pc that had this AWESOME mission were you had to protect a bunch of B-52's from the dang Germans.. Lol it was fun about 30,000 feet up planes everywhere bombs falling... Lol. Loved it.
