The Fastest phone around (roundup)

By

These lightning-quick smartphones have the quad-core goods to play videos and games like a demon.

Two things can make smartphones fast: the speed of their data transfer, and the pure performance power of their processor. The former varies from carrier to carrier, market to market, and even quite possibly from building to building; but internal clock speed is a measure we can compare across phones.
Chipmakers constantly push the boundaries, which translates into liquid gameplay and buttery-smooth video playback, among other finessed touches of a faster phone. These top contenders will leave rivals in the dust. Read even more in CNET's quad-core smartphone shootout.

Samsung Galaxy S4
Not only does Samsung's Galaxy S4 have the fastest gaming graphics of any other smartphone today, it's also in a dead heat as one of the top two fastest phones on the planet.
Sporting a 1.9GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor in most markets (the phone is also made with an 8-core Samsung Exynos 5 Octa processor), the GS4 has the highest capacity in terms of specs. In practice, it's about neck and neck with HTC's One (see below). Software processes, like boot-up time, take longer.

HTC One
Don't let the very slightly smaller capacity on HTC's stunning One fool you -- its 1.7GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor is plenty smokin'. This phone boots up faster when you power it on and is faster than the GS4 to put the camera app at your fingers. As a bonus, its LCD display also lights up more brightly for indoor and outdoor use.

LG Optimus G Pro
Packing the same 1.7 GHz Snapdragon 600 quad-core chipset as the HTC One, LG's Optimus G Pro for AT&T is without a doubt a big, blazing-fast phone. The Android Jelly Bean handset can stand up to HTC and Samsung's upper crust when it comes to impressing us with diagnostic and real-world speed tests, though it's 5.5-inch size will be simply too big for some.

LG Nexus 4
Qualcomm's 1.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro ticker lights up the Nexus 4's fire. Compared to the new guard, this handset is notably slower when it comes to specs and diagnostics, though real-life tests still make this one of the quickest smartphones money can buy. The stock Android OS helps keep bloatware down, which keeps navigation and daily use smooth.

Samsung Galaxy Note 2
The industry's preeminent phablet, Samsung's Galaxy Note 2 was also one of the world's first quad-core beasts. The 5.5-inch screen warrants a high-capacity 1.6GHz quad-core processor; phone phreaks can geek out that it's one of the few to use Samsung's own Exynos processor across global regions.
The end result is a handset that isn't quite as fast as the others in terms of pure output, but which can hold its own nearly a year after its launch date. In the rapidly advancing smartphone world, that practically amounts to a lifetime.

HTC One X+
AT&T's HTC One X+ may be supplanted by the One now, but it in turn quickly topped the One X. The latter two both featured Nvidia's quad-core Tegra 3 processor, but the One X+ has the added benefit of LTE. Although new handsets are no longer on sale through AT&T, the One X+ is a fast phone in its own right.

By
  Wikimedia Commons It's more than halfway through 2013 and even though the summer is winding down, there's still plenty of time to book a trip to a great destination. We looked at major developments, cultural trends, and global festivals to find the hottest places to travel around the world in 2013. There are vast untouched landscapes that offer incredible outdoor experiences, cities that are experiencing a cultural rebirth, and up-and-coming destinations that offer great deals and few tourists.

50 life lessons you can still learn now that your young.....

By
You’re stronger than you think you are. Mistakes teach you important lessons. Every time you make one, you’re one step closer to your goal. There is nothing to hold you back except you. You can press forward long after you can’t. It’s a matter of wanting it bad enough. No matter how much progress you make there will always be the people who insist that whatever you’re trying to do is impossible. You are limited only by your own imagination. Let it fly. Perception is reality. Your instincts can be trusted. There is only one question to ask yourself: “What would you do if you were not afraid?” It’s often hard to tell just how close you are to success. The only mistake that can truly hurt you is choosing to do nothing simply because you’re too scared to make a mistake. Never let success get to your head, and never let failure get to your heart. You have to fight through some bad days to earn the best days of your life. Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how ...
