I have a full 1080p Meizu that i got for USD100 2 years ago . im not gonna upgrade to anything until i get a 2k phone below usd100. Any 'premium' phone needs more than full hd in 2017. its not about what you can 'see' or not - its about what you can DO. with higher resolution you get more space to fit apps, webpages, etc and get more stuff done.

    Tom, 09 Jul 2017That's because they barely use or have laptops or desktop PCs.You Don't need a laptop for 100% of the things you do in Daily life. You only need if you have to get some heavy work done. I rarely use my laptop. But Facebook, small changes in MS word, listening to music, watching videos can be done conveniently without using a laptop. Hence I haven't bought any laptop or desktop for more then 5 years as they are not needed for the basic tasks I can do on my mobile.

                I simply hate big phones. Anything less than five inches is much more convenient but these idiot smartphone manufacturers are not done with it yet...

First, I'll cryogenically freeze you, set the alarm to Year 3517 and there you go! Bring some cash with you because there no one will use cash anymore as virtual money would've already taken over the world, effectively making our money worth a lot of their money units.

In the end, you just created the WWW4 (because apparently Trump and Unh are making the 3rd one) with a billion deaths and no government involved. Better let those useless fights reside on the Internet, where the only ones harmed are the ISPs.

                        I still remember the first Galaxy Note was considered too large in almost every people's palm. Also making problems when trying to be put in the pocket. Now, even 5.0" are considered small. Good times.

                              In 2008 Sony reached the Retina density with the Xperia X1 (311 dpi)..
                              In 2009 HTC packed the largest screen ever on the HD2 (4.3 inches)..

                              Both are on WinMo platform.. Why didn't they get any mention in this article??

However, I respect people who like all types of models and makes. On occasion, I tease here, but no, I'll not troll, because, that's a garbage mentality. (1) I try like hell to treat people the way I want to be treated, and, (2) do things out of the kindness of my heart.

                                      johnnkennedy, 10 Jul 2017Why people always fight with their favorite brands... Good question. GSM Arena... How about arranging boxing tourneys, with fan's representing manufacturers? I.E. a Sony fan vs. a Samsung fan, or Motorola vs. One Plus?
