Stratosphere Release

I don't know why they had to change exynos processor to snapdragon. Maybe it has to do with LTE like Moto changed tegra2 to omap4. But I have no problem with dual core snapdragon as I'm not hardcore gaming guy. Qualcomm processor seems to do well on productivity benchmarks at least, though not so well as tegra2, omap4 on games.

The snapdragon in that article is an S3 class SOC.. which has an Adreno 220.. a GPU that is easily on par with the sgx540 in the omap4 and the mali on exynos.. its definitely no slouch and way better than the Adreno 205 in the single core snapdragons..

If it matters to anyone at all:

I have been routinely searching the Verizon website for indications of this phone, and something has happened...

I logged in, went to "shop smartphones" and then put "stratosphere" in the search window. Normally it has always come up with "No results found".

Today, it's a blank Verizon page!

Verizon Wireless Search Results

This tells me that the web page is set up but unpopulated! This thing HAS to be getting close! It's hard to imagine me getting stoked over a blank web page, but I'm starting to get excited here!

I'll get excited when it shows up on FCC site.

Keep in mind the Qualcomm soc is most definitely not the S2 series which was a single core Scorpion with a Adreno 205..

The one in this phone is the S3 series.. its a dual core Scorpion with an Adreno 220.

Vastly improved.. its probably better than Tegra2. At least on par with OMAP4 and Exynos/Mali..

I know it's scorpion series dual snapdragon. I think HTC sensation, Evo 3D has it too, but at 1.2Ghz. But I saw benchmarks on SGS2 vs Sensation and Sensation lost rather badly especially on graphics/gaming. Quadrant of Sensation was in 2100~2300 but SGS2 in 3000~3300 range.

Keep in mind also that the Sensation is a qHD (960x540) display.. and the Galaxy S2 is WVGA (800x480).. a 25% increase in pixels. It's not quite the same to compare raw scores.

That's good point on higher resolution. But I'm quite surprised how well single core snapdragon in Tbolt, Revolution is doing in that chart, sometimes even surpassing Sensation slightly.

Interestingly the Thunderbolt and Revo are all based on the MSM8x55 which is the dual channel LPDDR2 soc..

While the Sensation and this Celox are based on the MSM8x60 platform.. which is strangely listed as single channel LPDDR2?

It's true that Sensation graphics score is somewhat hindered by higher qHD resolution. But so are Atrix, G2X, D3 at 1Ghz and they still manage to beat Sensation at 1.2Ghz in most graphic tests. Exynos is strong in productivity too according to smartbench result I saw.

Anyway we are looking at within +-10% of difference in these benchmarks mostly and I don't think anyone with these super phones would feel meaningful performance differences in real world usage. They are all very potent ARM based mobile APs.
 
No LTE in Attain is probably not so big deal for AT&T anyway. It's got speedy 21Mbps HSPA+ radio, though their coverage is somewhat spotty. But on Verizon, speed of 3G CDMA vs 4G LTE is like day and night difference.

Performance is much more likely to be negatively affected by some poorly written UI skin (i'm looking at you, Blur) or an oversight in software configuration (i'm looking at you, RFS) than small differences in architecture..
 
Looks like GT-I9210 model in that report seems to be Celox (4.5" WVGA, dual core, LTE) that leaked a few days ago from Korea.
