QUAD CORE V/S DUAL CORE PROCESSOR

After analyzing the physical dimensions of any smartphone what we compare is it's performance.
Performance of any smartphone basically depends on two factors
(a). Processor
(b). Memory
We will mainly focus on Processor in this post.
Smartphones nowadays come with DUAL CORE or QUAD CORE processor.
According to any normal person,more is good.But that's not true always.
Take a look at following points.

PROCESSING SPEED:

QUAD CORE processor means more processing speed and that's true.But most of the apps aren't programmed keeping quad core processors in mind,and hence not utilizing the power of quad core.
You can switch between more applications simultaneously and smoothly by using QUAD CORE processor.But for normal usage DUAL CORE processor won't disappoint you at all.In fact unless you are playing a high end game you will not recognize the difference.

BATTERY USAGE:

Quad core processor use battery lavishly even if you aren't multitasking because the unused cores are kept on standby.So,if you want to have a good battery backup,then do avoid Quad core processor.While
in comparison Dual Core will do a good justice to your battery back up.

HEATING:

Quad-core processors, even when optimized, threaten to use more energy than their dual- or single-core predecessors. This is due to more electricity-consuming technology packed into the same size package as a dual-core processor.Mobile devices,don’t have the room for large copper heat sinks, liquid cooling pumps or fans. As a result, tablets and smart phones may experience significant heating issues when overworked.

PRICE:

The price of any smartphone packed with quad core processor instead of dual core processor will have higher price despite having the same features.And the reason is but obvious.
But some smart phone manufacturers are giving away Quad core processor packed smart phones at cheaper rates,but be aware nothing comes for free.Those manufacturers are giving away cheap architecture.In short it's a sort of trade off.
