    So cool that technology is headed in this direction so quickly...but it's utterly useless in terms of the mobile phone world. Android still hasn't utilized Quad Core processors properly. All this will do is drain your battery quicker.

        But never bothered, human brain are million times faster than super computer, so we'll still feel a lag on any gadget we use, iPhone included.

        If U think that iPhone has no lag, please visit U'r psychiatrist :)

The iphone needs a bigger screen in the same form factor. Maybe 4.5" or 5". Then it will justify its crazy price. especially for the 64GB model.

            Whenever I hear someone talking about iphone 5 lag then I know they are just lying. iPhone 5/c/s never lags!

              so android lags.
              and taking about china phone. they are only good in spec sheet. badly optimised and get over heated quickly.
              and if so you say s2 dosent lag with 2 core then what was the need of 8 cores??
              samsung said
              with duel core s2 you will get lag free experience. lie
              with 4 core s3 you will get lag free experience. lie
              with 8 fake core s4 you will get lag free experience. lie
              with 8 true core s5 you will get lag free experience. will be a lie soon

              so how many core you need???

                  I guess samsung's consisted of two chips with 4 processors each. And this umi is one chip with 8 processors? Frankly, I don't care, it's the performance and size of the phone that's matter most, be it "true" or not for "octa"!!! Just match or surpass the snapdragon 800 and you got one best seller for sure.

                    Anonymous, 20 Oct 2013People don't want to admit the truth about that though.Lots of iPhone user admit they have lag, and now with iOS 7 many of them even angry about it. I think that lie is very much busted by now.

                    WP8 has done more to mask the lag, the animations seem to go on forever and fanboys bite the pillow and let Microsoft go in dry claiming "its so smoooth!" when in reality it is the slowest and most annoying user experience ever. Maybe if one have downs syndrome its ok to wait for the painful slowness of WP8.

                      Its Samsungs fault that we now are stuck with the term "true octa core", so many fake things they done through the years and got away with it. For example advertising Note 2 S-pen as having 1024 pressure levels, when it has 3 (none, soft and normal press), the hardware pen itself doesnt even have the support for more than 3, why are they so fake? And then the lie about the region lock, thats just way over the limit for acceptable behavior. Notoriously unreliable company, deception all the way.

                        gud mobile

                          If this is the first "true" octa-core smartphone, than what was Samsung on about? Actually, it probably doesn't matter anyway. It means nothing to 90% of smartphone users.
