We've seen previously -- through some preliminary benchmarks -- that the quad-core LTE variant of the Samsung Galaxy S4 that's UK-bound is damn quick, but even that is blown away by the octa-core beast that Samung's pumping out for elsewhere. Read More >>

The rumours from yesterday seem to be true. In the UK we're getting the 1.9GHz quad-core variant of the Samsung Galaxy S4 only, not the octa-core beast, which is probably something to do with it being LTE-enabled. [Recombu] Read More >>

Some slightly garbled, automatically translated words from Acer's Chinese president seem to confirm it's about to launch an assault on the cheap Android segment, with quad-core 8" and 10" models both on the way. Read More >>

Rumours suggest that Samsung's hard-to-buy Nexus 10 tablet is about to receive a small hardware update, with the Korean maker of glossy rectangular items said to be working on a new quad-core version of its Nexus 10. Read More >>
Samsung has slightly tinkered with the larger version of the Galaxy Note it'll soon be releasing, adding an oh-so-important slot for the company's S Pen sensitive stylus and taking the opportunity to enhance the internals of the tablet, too. Read More >>

If you were expecting anything other than an absolute powerhouse out of Samsung for its latest flagship phone come May 3rd, think again. Samsung’s confirmed that the “Next Galaxy”, aka the Galaxy S III, will come packing the company’s new blazing-fast Exynos 4 quad-core chip. Read More >>
More delays face Samsung’s new Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, but this time Android’s not to blame – Samsung’s decided that it’s just not good enough in its planned incarnation, and we’re inclined to agree. Everyone’s shoving quad-core chips in their Android tablets, so Samsung launching one with basically the same dual-core processor as its predecessor seemed a bit daft to me; thankfully Samsung now agrees.

"Pretty much. But then it has to have some more involved screen sensing tech in it, so it's not quite as simple as slapping a stylus on a Tab." More »
An awful lot of speculation has been flying about the place regarding Samsung's plans for its Galaxy S III Android model, which we're all gagging to see and upgrade to without even thinking about the cost implications. But what's it going to be like? Read More >>

While it doesn’t make much difference to us poor 4G-less Britons, LG’s new quad-core flagship line is conspicuously missing any LTE models. Apparently the reason for that is battery drain – LG’s working hard to try and combine quad-core beasts with LTE that’ll actually last a day, but we’re unlikely to see it this year. Read More >>
Just like Panasonic, Fujitsu’s launching a range of smartphones into Europe and will be showing off its wares at MWC. Now we know a little about one of its new “ultra-high-spec” smartphones -- it’s another beast with a screen over four-inches. Read More >>

HTC also has a secret thing to show at Mobile World Congress, like Nokia and Asus. Sadly, HTC's secrets have long been smeared across the internet, so everyone knows its fast things are new dual and quad-core Android phones. But good to see HTC carrying on the charade and pretending it isn't the leakiest ship in technology. [HTC] Read More >>

Chalk this one up as purely rumour and speculation, but Samsung's next Galaxy S could be powered by its new Exynos 4412 quad-core chip. We're expecting the Galaxy S III to be shown off at MWC early next year. Read More >>
Chalk this one up as rumour, but Engadget's been sent a render of a new HTC handset codenamed 'Zeta'. The monster device is supposedly packing a beast of a 2.5GHz quad-core CPU besting the previously rumoured quad-core Edge. Read More >>

Smartphones with dual-core processors are still a bonus—but what about four of those goddamn things? The alleged Android-y HTC Edge packs that, plus a sizzling Tegra 3 package. That's one spicy processing meatball, if PocketNow is correct. Read More >>
