Go Sony!

    AnonD-246723, 24 Oct 2015To be honest HTC didnt made any design that really stand out .Well, when it comes to these sorts of topic, it's rather subjective. Since M7 their design are loved by many including myself. But yeah... I won't judge your taste lol. Design-wise with it's amongst the best looking imo that is why Apple copied

                            Ale, 23 Oct 2015Thank you. I quite like what I am seeing in the A9, it's... moreAgree. I like what I see too. Like you I am after an upper mid range so I was looking at the Z5compact. nice, not keen on the lanyard holes so ultimately HTC won as there quite solid builds. They seem energized and have done many great things but not advertised as well as they could have.
                            I'm retiring my One S. still a classic and a unibody slim. It made me wonder if they knew or fully realized just how good the one s was in size, features and feel. The S4 chip still rocks. now imagine a zouped up version of that with a 4.5 or 4.7 screen. total size no bigger than 139mm. I was looking at renders of the A9 screen and its super sharpness. Looking forward to getting it. Cheers

                              Well he has probably never heard of iPod fifth gen on which design the iphone 6 is based.

                              Also if Apple copied HTC according to him, why didnt he take them to court?

                              Doesnt matter in the end, the original will always succeed and the copy cats will always cry.

HTC got sloppy and Samsung knew that all it needed was one phone to change everything. I don't hate but I think s2 and s6 and note 4 was and is the best phones Samsung ever made. The ones in between was so laggy. Htc sense is fluid.
