Lenovo's K900 is dual core, and thus outdated and "low end" (by your definition) and yet seems to smash out some pretty impressive benchmarks......

given that Dual core is all you know about Jolla's CPU spec, I'd be very cautious about making assertions.


People need to step away from swallowing the idiotic cr*p that is being perpetuated by the media who are implying that more is better, just because hardware specs (and now the new screen p*ssing competition) are the only way android OEM's seem to be able to differentiate.

I'd rather have I highly optimised OS running on a good dual core processer, specc'ed to suit the performance requirements of the device and guaranteeing good battery life, than some 6" HD monster screen octa (wank) core behemoth that runs a bloated os and can't get through the day without a recharge.

I'm not planning on using my handset as a launch computer for a manned trip to mars....
First of all.. calm down.. that is not what I was saying. My friend has a dual core android phone and it runs most apps quite well. All I am saying, is that the android market is rapidly advancing. Sooner or later, developers are going to take advantage of the extra power of modern devices. Quad core at around 1.5ghz+ is becoming standard in modern phones, and if it ends up being a dual core under 1.5 ghz.. combined with a lacklustre GPU, its going to struggle to run spec intensive android applications, and for me, this is a bad thing. And also, having multiple cores helps manage the power required so quad core can be mighty helpful.

So.. in my case, a lower end CPU and GPU is really going to let the phone down.
