HTC One in South Africa: launch windows emerge

Too little too late? Beautiful device, but already outdated, and the Sony beats it on looks imo. On what grounds will one take this instead of the S4 considering availibility of accessories, local support, updates etc? It is better made with better materials yes, but then what?
 
Thanks for the link. I'm holding out for the One. Currently have the HTC Desire HD.
 
Damn, if they wanted to do well, they should have released sooner here
the S4 will now undoubtedly slaughter it :(
 
Geez...how bloody long must I wait. No Z, no One and no S4 until at least May. Lame. I have an upgrade waiting.
 
My next phone :) Still a long time to go though. Bevonk, your entire post is your opinion.


Getting One ASAP!
 
S4 looks like plasticy crap.

This looks sleek, those large speakers must be rad too.
 
I've been an avid samsung supporter, but personally i cant get a new phone that looks like my old one. I'll take functionality over waterproofing any day, those flaps on the Z are sure to wear out and bug the crap out of you very soon..

Flaps???
So you're saying the Z is disfunctional and if the S4 looks like the S3 you won't take it but you're a die hard Samsung fan.
 
Yes the flaps covering every port on the phone, eg headphone jack, micro usb port etc. How regularly do you think you'll use those?
I didn't say anything about disfunctional, but to use a quote from a previous poster, outdated and way too late to the party.
And yes i am a Samsung fan, and it's my opinion not to get another one that looks like my S3. Is that so hard to grasp?
 
So bad for HTC. Shame, they are down and bleeding!

If the Galaxy S4 launches in April, it's pretty much over for HTC and The One. But even now, as the benchmark results are showing the S4 annihilating anything in its way. It's quite brutal.

With regards to Sony, I think they will launch a new flagship phone soon after the Z, as the reviews are cutting the phone in pieces for the poor display. It's a major embarrassment if you're one of the leading display manufacturers in the world. They know they need to fix it.

Maybe the next Sony will be The One? :D
 
Good points you got there, we need serious competitors in the mobile market. I still think im gonna get the Htc One, even if its one of the last phones they build.

But tbh i don't think they'll die off that easily, look at sony they've been bleeding cash for a while now :p
 
IMO I've seen S3s that look much better with skins on them. Then it doesn't look plasticy any more.

I've raised the question in another thread - will the S4 just be as flimsy as the S3, or a bit more robust?

My S2 has survived a tar road drop from double cab height and only had a small dent.

Try that drop with a S3... :eek:
