Samsung Grand Duos Vs Tecno Phantom A+: Which Is Better? by Adesiji77: 4:41pm On Aug 08, 2013 |
Both phones have dual SIM. I would appreciate your take on them side-by-side especially their 'positives' and 'negatives'. Apart from the screen, what is the superiority of Grand Duos over Phantom A+? Thank you |

physise: i think u should go for a+the A+ may have quad core but the grand should be more faster cos it's based on cortex A9 which is 30% faster than cortex A7 when they are clocked at the same speed. so even if A+ has quad,it doesn't mean it's faster. it's like having 4 thin pipes for water and having 2 wide pipes filling the same tank.which one will fill up fast 14 Likes |

opestein: Flawed analysis. A dual core A9 can not be faster than a quad core A7 at the same speed. Core for core, yes the A9 is faster but with multiplied cores the speed advantage drops off. You just look at at the benchmark scores for the Grand Duos and for a device running a MT6589 chipset. 7 Likes |

Lord_Reed:benchmark doesnt mean in real life performance,my one xl dual core beats s3 quad core in benchmark,the numbers of cores doesn't matter,it's the power a core can deliver. sometimes a single high performance core outrun a dual low performance core.the A9 is much more faster than the A7.because the A7 has 4 cores doesn't mean high performance,multi thread benchmarks will put phantom top cos of no of cores.but run .e.g.quadrant or vellamo and say the difference,antutu is flop this days 3 Likes |

opestein: Believe me even in real world use a phone running on the quad core MT6589 chip out performs the Grand Duos. I made sure I played with a Grand Duos well before I decided to get the Gionee Dream D1. The D1 is noticeably faster than the Grand Duos especially in more CPU intensive tasks and after multiple apps have been opened. Number of cores will affect performance very well which is why the new BB10 OS could not be ported onto the older hardware. Microsoft increased the number of cores WP8 supports not for fun. 3 Likes |

Both phones are very good but on the long run you would prefer a grand duos, as new phones are made, new versions of operating systems are made, samsung galaxy grand has the potential of being upgraded to newer versions of operating systems but on phantom you are stuck on jelly bean 4.2. My advise, get a grand and i noticed that the screen of grand hardly scratches, i even tried scratching it myself, for the processor, do not forget grand runs on a cortex A9 dual core which is verymuch faster than a cortex A7 quad-core, if tecno phantom were to be on cortex A7 octa-core then we can say the speed with that of grand will be equal or faster but don't be deceived with the quad core of phantom, its in no way faster than grang's dual core A9.. For your information grand's speed is more like S3 and the likes, more software functions and upgrade potentiality, i am using the phone and i am happy to have chosen it. The only issue you might have with grand duos is it resolution, the wvga screen is cool but the resolution of 400*800 is not so cool with a phone with such a large scree, if you are indoor you might not notice the resolution is lesser until you move outdoor on a sunny day, you may hardly see what you are doing on the phone but in all its still Φƙα̲̅ψ. Apart from that short-coming, grand is way better, with its larger screen again which helps in reading easily, making hd movies more interesting and a wonderful gaming experience. Am in no way saying tecno is not good but definitely not better than the samsung galaxy grand duos. 12 Likes |
