In my own little world
The theory as to the device's speed is the presence of a dual-core ARM chip - the first to be used in an Android handset. Most likely Qualcomm's dual-core 1.2GHz Snapdragon processor, the presence of two physical processing cores would explain the extremely high benchmark scores.

It's 3 times quicker than the Evo, I hope these are the size of the Streak :D

More here - Are we still allowed to link to Bit-Tech, I've been doing it for years but they've started advertising heavily this year ?

What's to say that it's not a single processor chip like hummingbird, if the performance is so similar? Why do they assume it's a dual core instead of a better single core?

I agree, more likely to just be a newer single core design, although I would love to have a dual core phone. I don't think the battery technology is ready for it though.

I'd hope the second core is shutdown when idle/screen is off, or other clever power saving tricks.
 
Is there any point? How much more juice will a dual core need? I think I can safely say my next phone will be an HTC.
 
A little more power wouldn't hurt for HD recording and play back of HD content, but essentially everything runs fine already on the current chips.
 
is this just another name for the ACE/incredible/desire HD ?

I notice the phones for the US market have different codenames..theres the HTC vision knocking about as well which is a desire with a qwerty keyboard by the look o fit

I hope it isn't the size of the Streak, the size of the EVO 4G is as far as most people would want to take it for mobile devices.
 
Meh, battery life > everything.

Cmon guys get your fingers out, get 3 days out of these phones comfortably and well it will be ground breaking.
 
Apple have got the battery problem sorted, the iPhone 4 battery is pretty much all you could realistically want and expect from a smartphone.

It makes mincemeat of the Galaxy S/Desire/X10 batteries.

How long does your iPhone 4 battery last in a real world day to day usage scenario?

Currently it is at -

Usage (time with the screen on, phone being used) - 6 hours, 27 minutes

Standby - 4 days, 14 hours

That has the battery at 21%.

It should be noted that quite a bit of the 'usage' time was video playing outloud and some music playing outloud, and quite a bit of video recording.

So with just web browsing and emails it would probably be even better, as not that many people are using the speakers etc so much.

As I said, it's an extremely impressive battery. You can get about a week out of it easily with moderate usage.
