        How funny Nokia fanboys are, They think Nokia is an opponent for Samsung!
        Nokia stills on 2010 Specs and that's the truth so just stop lying to yourselves Nokia fanboys!
        HTC LG Apple Sony are Samsung opponents but NOT Nokia!
        Samsung build their own phones from ground and provide great technology and quality for themselves and for the others unlike some others who build their phones in Foxccon and Compal and then claim quality!

            natsu, 06 Jul 2012screw you sammy, you earn a lot yet you still provide buggy... moreYou are on every article and blog here on GSMarena and writing that same sentence. Don't you get tired of trolling? There is no buggy software whatsoever and ICS works just fine.

              Not at all...

              That's what I love about not feeling that I need to be affiliated or associated with a particular brand...

              I go for a handset that suits MY needs, not because I blindly follower a manufacturer...

              What people can't deny is that if you want the best specced Android phone it has to be Sammy...

              If you want the best looking Android phone, possibly Sony...

              If you want Android with a fancy UI - then maybe HTC...

              There's something for everyone...

              Recently I sold my GS2 and with the money bought an Xperia Play sim free to try it for 6 months... I have to say I like what Sony has done with Android, but their specs leave a lot to be desired...

              To be honest I think mobiles in 2012 have been very disappointing... definitely HTC / Sony needed to keep micro SD... Sammy could have been bolder with their design...

              I'm hoping 2013 will be a killer year for mobiles - Sony should be up-to-date, HTC will have one last big effort before they fade into obscurity... you'll see a Lumia Pureview which I really think will mix things up (count me interested, but not yet convinced) and Sammy will I think listen to people about design and (fingers crossed) come up with something swanky...

              Or maybe it'll stagnate?!?! WHO KNOWS!!!!

                    why talk about Nokia in Samsung section. Nokia is a spent force, everything positive about it is in past tense. Nokia will die a slow death, people in authority in Nokia will see to that. Samsung is the future.

Def... moreSamsung sales were down before releasing the Galaxy S1, they made a smart move then yea and gone from strength to strength. Nokia sticking with Symbian which is an outdated software, and losing market share rapidly

                              The real victory here is for Android of course, all those people who now have android with purchased android apps will want to buy android again to use these apps on their next phone.

                                    So... 8 years ago i said i'll use a samsung washing macvhine or fridge but not a samsung phone.
                                    about 3 years ago I realised samsung made killer tv's and i love the image quality. Now they reign supreme with their Galaxy S3... I was on the brink of getting a One X.

                                    The point that I am trying to make is that Every product Samsung takes on, they strive to make a success of it.
                                    Yes the build quality is questionable,
                                    Yes they might build gimmicks into their devices

                                    Point remains they build devices that PEOPLE feel Comfortable using daily.

                                    And that is what sells.

                                      I'm a Nokia fan. Nokia should have taken Android way. Definitely Nokia will stood in the first place.

                                      Marketing guys are very intelligent at Samsung. It's only because of their hardware and marketing tactics.

                                      I think, I shall now try Samsung GSIII.

                                      Anyway, Congratulations Samsung!!!
