                Anonymous, 11 Jan 2013iOS is not capable of multitasking, that is why it is "... moreWhat lies..

                iOS has multi-tasking since 4.0. The major difference between iOS multi-tasking vs android's multitasking is this:

                iOS filters and decide which processes is WORTH multi-tasking which is deemed unrequired and will only waste battery or user's experience and have it's state saved.

                Android does not care and just let everything multi-task..

                  Anonymous, 11 Jan 2013can i know why are you calling this crap??? i am using u85... moreU 8500's performance at best was slightly better than single core scoripon s2 and almost equivalent to s4 play which is based on cortex a5.though on paper it did support higher screen res n vid recording.i expected a cortex a9 based dual core cpu to do better than that.more importantly it had a weak single core mali 400 gpu which was outdone by adreno 203.neither was it any better in battery life seeing it's low performance.
                  Gud enough reason ?

                    people this is cortex a9 but it is cloked at 25 ghz so it could give very good performance not only for midrange devices it could be a flagship for a low company

                              ios on the other hand is pretty smooth, even though they are not on fast processors (4s) like other phones.. handles apps well..

                                    Thats because u dont know the real meaning of smooth

                                    Yes android is smooth enough on ANY QUAD CORE processor and 1gb+ ram BUT the smoothness is NOT CONSISTENT even on CUSTOM ROM.

                                        at 60Hz, and future 1080p 60frames per second video recording and play back,
                                        Matching the The Hobbit's HFR of 60hz.
                                        Google is future proving us for the new standard.


                                        Google never claimed it fixed lag as there wasn't any.
                                        Have to show me a link where google said project butter was used to fix lag.

                                        lag was a lie started by WP users
