As you surely know, the S4 processors offer equal or superior performance to the quad-core processors available. Also, there are no quad-core chips yet capable of supporting American LTE.

Sadly, youll see this same processor in the next American Galaxy s3. The S4 chip though since its the equivalent of A15 arcitecture is no slouch. And most apps arent even optimized for quad cores even the benchmark tests.Regardless quad cores won't be great until you can get ARM A15 2.5GHZ quad core chips in phones, those are the real SOC's.

They offer about the same performance with current apps...that is to say, more than current apps need. Heck, my Sensation 4G with the CPU brought up to rated speed would be just as fast as this "SuperPhone" in virtually any test...faster in many thanks to the fact that I removed HTC Sense. If you are going to sign a 2-year contract for a phone, you want one that won't be useless in 1 year.
I'm not saying it is a bad phone...but it is no "SuperPhone" if there are already phones on other carriers that are just as good or better.
Hope the damn thing can run a lion share of the apps out there... As I've mentioned before - every time I turn around, someone is complaining that an HTC product (a former flagship) can't seem to run one app or another. And it seems to happen in droves.
I'm not an HTC hater, not by a long shot. But when people blame the phone/manufacturer rather than the software it bears noticing.

C'mon. Your overclocked Sensation with virtuous inquisition still cannot compete with the S4s. Imagine a tweaked S4 with no Sense then if you want to compare.
