my golly, it's a Vita killer?

Dual Analog?
Buttons?

 

[pxleyes]

4S camera in the back! HELL YES

 

[wonzo]

"5-megapixel backside illuminated sensor on the back, 5-element lens, IR filter, and ISP built into ​the A5X chip."

whoa

 

[numble]

A5X?

No A6 No Buy.

 

[Technosteve]

SONY VITA AM CRY

 

[kharma45]

So dual core CPU and quad graphics?

 

[brotkasten]

QUAD CORE WTF!

No, quad-core graphics.

Two A9 cores, four SGX543 cores.

 

[Paznos]

Quad Core Graphics does not mean Quad Core Processor? Someone correct me?

Pretty sure it means dual core processor, quad core GPU.

 

[RivalCore]

My credit card is ready. Damnit.

 

[planar1280]

1:29 pm 5 megapixel on the back. Backside illumination.

hmm

 

[Vanillalite]

So the A5X is sort of quad core, and it's quad core in the GPU aka the part that matters. This solves my only worry I really had which was the fact that this screen res is even a million more pixels than 1080p so I wasn't sure a beefed up dual core was going to cut it.

 

[Dog Problems]

The Verge crapped out on me, thankfully Engadget is working fine.

 

[giga]

Quad Core Graphics does not mean Quad Core Processor? Someone correct me?

It does not. See: Vita GPU.

 

[Shepard]

4S camera? Expected better...

 

[snack]

 

[Einbroch]

iSight.

Oh Apple...

 

[Gary Whitta]

Finally, a real camera!

 

[Jasoco]

So they call the front facing camera "FaceTime Camera" and the back facing one "iSight". That does make sense actually.

 

[flyover]

Come back, Apple Store. Come back!

 

[Chiggs]

"More powerful than 10 Kindle Fires."

 

[Keylime]

Dude, Apple is conferencing it big this time around. Very little fluff...straight into the announcements.

Great pacing so far.

 

[McHuj]

I think the quad core is a reference to GPU not CPU. Same PowerVR as Vita.

 

[commish]

I shudder to think of the ipad 3 vs. Vita crap we are going to see on the gaming side.

 

[NewFresh]

"we brought the optics system from the iPhone 4S…”

 

[ultron87]

Alright, I'll probably buy one. I'm hoping it has some crazy cool new feature besides the screen and quad-core (as great as those are).

 

[dc89]

Impressive camera.

1080P video recording. Now that is nice.

 

[bob page]

QUADIZZLE CORE

OMG YES!

Tegra 3, destroyed.

 

[Valkyr Junkie]

Sony gonna be selling a lot of CMOS sensors this year.

 

[LyleLanley]

4S camera? Expected better...

The 4S camera is pretty damn good.

 

[polyh3dron]

Apple just NUKED the FRIDGE

bahahahahhaa this should be his tag

 

[Zeth]

1080P video recording

 

[FinKL]

Ok im sold

Quad Core & Better Resolution than my TV

 

[MercuryLS]

So it looks like a dual core CPU with a quad core GPU. Works for me.

 

[captmcblack]

wow, it even destroys Tegra 3? Which isn't even really out yet?

...oh crap. transformers and hypothetical google tablets preemptively owned until 2013?

 

[kaskade]

I was sold already but I'm sold. I might even spring for the 4g version so I can have that iPad awesomeness everywhere.

 

[helloresolven]

1080p recording.

 

[PjotrStroganov]

I can't imagine 3d games running at max res.

 

[pxleyes]

Very interesting that they are naming the camera an 'iSight' now. Further pushing the focus to features on a specific iPad and away from laptops/desktops.

 

[Joel Was Right]

I will be shocked if they dont talk about the front facing camera

 

[rezuth]

can someone link me to the delayed video feed?

 

[Gary Whitta]

4S camera? Expected better...

...than the best phone camera currently on the market?

 

[entremet]

I shudder to think of the ipad 3 vs. Vita crap we are going to see on the gaming side.

It doesn't matter because Apple is refreshing every year. Not a fair comparison.

 

[Yazus]

quad core, retina display, 4s camera, 1080p video recording, i'm having an orgasm as for now

 

[LCfiner]

camera is better than I expected. I thought it would be 3GS caliber.

at least this good enough to take a pic and not look like garbage on the screen

 

[cyberheater]

1080p recording. I knew it!

 

[Deleted member 17706]

iSight.

Oh Apple...

Why do you disapprove? Apple has been very successful in taking technology that is generally unapproachable by the masses and attaching cute names to it to make it more approachable.

 

[gofreak]

Quad Core Graphics does not mean Quad Core Processor? Someone correct me?

CPU and GPU might have different numbers. The resolution really needs that GPU though, more than a quad-core CPU necessarily, so that is a relief.

 

[BolognaSoup]

Wait is the Facetime camera 5 mp or just the backside?

 

[Qatar]

Retina + Quad Core + 5 MP camera
SOLD Day 1 or maybe a few days after that ...

 

[Yami]

The Verge getting DDOS'd. Errr.
