Need advice on Xperia Flagship model & Phone CPU Speed

[Rickosw]

Hi,

I am looking to change my present cell phone - Samsung Galaxy SII and I'm considering switching back to Sony, previously a big fan of SE (owned T28, Satio).

I have a few questions and hope someone here can explain / comment.

1) is this model the new "flagship" - Sony Xperia acro S

Sony Xperia acro S - Full phone specifications

2) the current available models such as Xperia S is running on Dual-core 1.5 GHz, while Samsung SIII is on Quad-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A9.

based on real world usage, is SIII much faster than Xperia S?

why is Sony still making Dual Core instead of Qual-Core models?



Cheers

This whole dual core / quad core is all rubbish, I had a Desire, running at 998mhz and that ran everything!

I've actually under clocked my phone to run at 1ghz max to give more battery life and have noticed no difference and that includes playing games on the tv using the sixaxis app with games like dead space and gta 3.

I really don't see the point in a phone with quad core processors as there is nothing that requires so much power as yet???
