This is a hard article to write as there are a few aspects to the decision, and some of the aspects have unknown variables. I’ll try to cover what I think are the most important ones and to keep it as concise as possible.
The first thing you might want to look at is your current phone. If you don’t currently have a smartphone, then for you the answer is easy – “BUY NOW”.
For those of us with smartphones already, the answer may be not so easy to come by. If you have a smartphone that’s able to play .avi/.mkv/.mpg, and it’s playing the games you want to play (or you don’t care about or use your smartphone for movies and/or games), again I think the answer is easy – “WAIT”.
If you have a smartphone, but are having issues with common format movies and/or games, and you want to watch movies or play games on your smartphone – “BUY NOW”. I’ve included a video of a phone with mtk mt6577 / mtk6577 playing Modern Combat 3 (already fast forwarded to the useful part of the video). As you can see, the SGX531 handles it easily.
Why am I saying buy now in some cases as opposed to wait? The real meat is coming up in my next post! Hopefully later tonight.
