5 of the best quad-core gadgets

ZTE Era
ZTE means business. Not only did the Chinese company show up to MWC with a briefcase overflowing with new smartphones, but it also pulled back the covers on its powerful Android Ice Cream Sandwich-toting flagship Era handset. Powered by a 1.3GHz Tegra 3 processor and 1GB of RAM, the Era certainly has speed on its side, and is complimented nicely by a 4.3in 960 x 540 QHD touchscreen, 8MP snapper with 1080p video capture, Dolby sound and NFC capabilities – all of which have been crammed into a svelte 7.8mm thick outer shell.
