While the benchmarks scores of this 5.3-inch, dual-core monster are impressive, the pricing isn't.

Wow!! that's too expensive.. and I'm wondering what it will cost in India. I was waiting for it but now it seems my wait is over because it toooooooooo expensive... thank you so much for this article. Would rather buy a tablet instead of such an expensive gadget (which is neither a phone nor a tablet)

    The Galaxy S2 can already do 1080p recording and mirroring. It will even play 1080p Adobe Flash. Super AMOLED Plus can display any color just fine including white. Retina in iphone4 can't even display black right. iPhone4 is out of date hardware.

Weather it is Gorilla or a glass made by other companies, it's still a reinforced industrial grade glass and iPhone is the first successfull implementation of this glass on a smartphone. The links below doesn't conclude that iPhone uses the Gorilla glass from Corning but one thing for sure, its a reinforced hardened glass same quality with the one used in many mobile handsets.

                            too expensive to buy,
                            come-on Samsung, i don't think many people will pay such a high price for an S-Pen, because for other features you have sgs 2 or any tablet.

                                  --> Hahahahaha, JK. It's a reply from a previous news article about Nokia where all Nokia fanboys are crying because Gsmarena was not overwhelmed from the holy N9 phone and only worships Samsung/Apple (which is NOT true!).

                                    [deleted post]don't worry folks, price will go down very rapidly just like the Galaxy S2, so just wait for a couple of months after release. Maybe after a month Samsung will introduce new successor with no much enhancement and this becomes obsolete.

                                        interesting to see so many opposed thoughts...

                                        however, i`m totally blown away with the specs...
                                        was considering the iconia smart but this is miles better...
