In the wake of the recent iPhone 4 announcement, Motorola CEO Sanjay Jha is looking to reassure the Android faithful. Jha gave a talk at the Executives Club of Chicago yesterday and talked up the companies hardware plans. If the Motorola CEO is to be believed, we could see an Android phone packing a 2GHz CPU this year.
Jha was short on the details, but another Motorola executive apparently let it slip that they planned to incorporate every possible hardware feature into the upcoming superphone. This would mark a dramatic advancement in the rate of hardware iteration. Most manufacturers refrain from upping their specs so quickly to avoid destroying sales of their current smartphones.
While the idea of a 2GHz CPU sounds good on paper, we have to wonder if it will really deliver that much more performance than current CPUs. A lot of the snappiness in a smartphone is related to the software side of things. Don’t even get us started on battery life. Do you think a 2GHz smartphone is necessary so soon?
