Should I go for current S4 (Adreno 225) or wait for S4 Pro (Adreno 320)? :S

Was thinking to get HTC One XL, saw the new Krait CPU kicks ass. The Adreno 225 is pretty good too, but I read that S4 Pro will out on 2nd half this year (my contract will end on September), packs Adreno 320, which according to Qualcomm, offers up to 4x performance.

So, should I get the HTC One XL (S4 Krait with Adreno 225) or wait until the S4 Pro out? :S

depends.

do you use your phone mainly for phone stuff and web browsing? if yes, then get the s4.

but if you use your phone for gaming as well, i would say wait for the s4 pro.

Well, I'd say my phone usage will be:
60% of phone stuffs and web browsing (Including web browsing, I do some documents as well (college assessments))

And 40% of gaming (60% of them are 3D games (Riptide GP, etc) and 40% of casual 2D games)

in that case, i'd say either go for a tegra 3 phone or wait for s4 pro.

Depends. If you want something more powerful and you are willing to wait for it. On the other hand is that hopefully they release a phone until your contract ends. I'll say wait for the 320 since you are using more GPU intensive games
