A little underwhelming after all the noise in the last few months. Also not a good looking device compared to the S2 (IMO)

This is not a cellphone. This is 'n "mini-tab".

The only thing good about this is the chipset, cpu and battery.

The HTC One X is surprisingly manageable with the 4.7" screen, I wonder if the 0.1" will be the deal breaker?

I just went to go and get a ruler to see how big a difference 0.1" is and yes, it's a massive difference. lol

I guess the HTC One X can then also be called a "mini-tab".

few...

I'll wait for the S4

Hmmm, only about the most important aspects of a device.

Things I consider in getting a phone.

Size: S3 too big
Looks: S3 looks like the cheap Android phones
OS: S3 runs Android.

They still should've gone with a 1.8ghz CPU to make it future proof. Ram should've been at least 2GB. Screen should've been Full HD.

Dude, why hate on Android. Both iOS and Android are decent operating systems.

 

[yaeger]

I'll get one, looks decent.

Thanks, that part put your previous posts into context.

Don't get this whole uber fanbooi thing. I prefer Android, but iOS has its merits too and neither of them make me want to

 

[Piesang]

I'm no fanboy. Personal taste only. I had Android devices before. I just like iOS more. The face was a bit too much, I know. Sorry about that.

I still think Samsung should've done more with the S3.

Lol, yeah the smiley is pretty strong. iPad + Android phone = best of both worlds

And apple should have done more with 4s and iPad '3'

The iPad 3 still outperforms the S3 with the GL benchmark test done by Anandtech 140 vs 103, camera megapixel unchanged, lesser AMOLED display quality vs S2, no RAM shift, no LTE, or any new gadgetry... This in many ways is Samsung's iPhone 4S; I.e. disappointing

How this ranks against Apple newest phone we'll only know later this year; to compare a 6 month old phone (iPhone 4S) does it only an injustice, even worse the S2.

Give this man a bells.

You do realise you are comparing a Tablet to a Phone....

Same OS and will be same CPU in next iPhone, so what's your point?

When I asked at Vodaworld, I was given an indication of a June/July release. I didn't bother asking about price coz I got the impression they didn't really know.
