When it comes to talking about the sense of power in a mobile phone, it is not difficult to stop and argue in terms of integration between software and hardware . That is, in fact, the battle cry of Apple and Nokia "" in their idyll stage with Microsoft and Windows Phone "".
What sense does it make to variegate a technical profile of heart attack if the operating system does not require such solvency? This debate has increased on the occasion of the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S3, a terminal that although it is not the first to be presented with a quad-core processor, it has made this type of technology especially visible.
Phones with Android 4.0 system Ice Cream Sandwich there are many, and among all, only a handful of them carries a chip quad-core "" either series Snapdragon from Qualcomm, Tegra 3 of NVIDIA or, as is the case, Exynos 4 from Samsung ””.
Not only we know computers with dual - core processor, but also with options mononuclear, whereby the potential of four cores should be focused in another direction. Sometimes, they are purely advertising "" the very fact of wearing the latest of the latest "", but, as we will see below, they are also a guarantee of a series of functions that, otherwise, would not be presented with the reliability with which they do it in practice.
The most striking option of the Samsung Galaxy S3 that is backed by the 1.4 GHz Samsung Exynos 4 Quad processor is the Pop Up Play function. This is the demonstration of how multitasking can go one step further, allowing not only two simultaneous operations to work in the foreground , but also one of them to be a video that is displayed in a floating window with customizable size.
Thus, while we write an email, consult information on the Internet or update our social networks, we could have in one of the spaces of the large 4.8-inch screen of the Samsung Galaxy S3 a video playing without any problem.
But there is not the thing. In addition, the Samsung Galaxy S3 could develop other simultaneous tasks thanks to the quad-core processor. One leaves also be seen in another quad-core this season, the HTC One X. We refer to the possibility of filming videos in the highest quality ”” FullHD ””, giving the possibility of taking photographic captures during recording, without having to stop the sequential recording. And there is still more.
The powerful Exynos 4 Quad also supports another of the camera-related functions. Specifically, we point in the direction of that option with which we could make a photographic scan of up to eight continuous images so that, in a few seconds, the system itself analyzes the captures and offers us, after a quick comparison, which is the best photo made, suggesting it to us so that we keep it in memory.
Another function that perhaps seems minor, but that demonstrates the power of the Samsung Galaxy S3 when it comes to processing information is what has been dubbed Buddy photo share , or Share photos with friends. The idea is apparently simple, but quite sophisticated.
As soon as we capture a photo with the Samsung Galaxy S3, the system compares the faces of those who appear in the image with the database to which it has access, both between the contact files and between the profiles of our friends on social networks. If they find colleagues whom they have recognized in the photos, they will automatically ask us if we want to share the image with them by email.
These are some of the options that the Samsung Galaxy S3 gives of itself thanks to the powerful quad-core processor. Although we have left out the one that is perhaps the most obvious and that goes unnoticed because it is something that is presupposed to the system: the remarkable fluidity in the operation of the terminal, which runs with a devilish speed in any of its operations, either switching between desktops on the main interface, opening and closing applications or using particularly sophisticated programs and games without slowdowns
