A. van Ruzzette, 17 Oct 2012Looks amazing, I mean, 440 ppi?? With 2GB of RAM and quad c... moreA few years ago i would have disagreed with you but even now i think a top smartfone should be 12MP,,you can manipulate more with 12MP at hand and better quality future proofing as we move to bigger tv screens to show them on.

    I google on Sharp IGZO display and this article may that all the readers complaining about the battery life may find interesting
    http://www.cultofmac.com/196382/an-ipad-mini-with-sharps-igzo-display-technology-could-play-video-for-24-hours-on-a-single-charge/
    IMO the latest Snapdragon 28nm(or 22nm i forgotten) + IGZO + Battery optimization software may fetch reasonable battery life at reasonable daily usage
    BTW, i think best wait for a more in depth review to comment on the battery life ( remember iP5 spec vs S3 spec advertisement? Actual performance vs on paper performance)

      now if i don't buy the nokia 920 then this is a mobile i want to have! samsung products seem to start lagging after a while, while i only threw my htc hero coz it had small space to install apps and got no update, but it was way more stable than my galaxy tab p1000!

        HTC always putting subpar capacity batteries on their handset is a damn joke! Nice phone, good company that provides updates to their phones. Only one thing where they suck. Their batteries!

                          Nitro, 17 Oct 2012We should prepare Galaxy S3's funeral xDIf they launched this phone globally with an enlarged battery before the Holiday season, only then we should.

                                  Looks amazing, I mean, 440 ppi?? With 2GB of RAM and quad core APQ 8064, it got to be one of the most advanced smartphone, hardware wise. Too bad they only put 8MP main camera, should they go with 12MP, its gonna be truly amazing. With that small battery, is it possible that the display are using IGZO displays? I've read that those displays are draining much less battery power..

                                    Gotta admit that the name sounds kinda funny lol
                                    Nonetheless this will be a monster of a phone!
                                    I've been waiting for the SuperLcd3 for the longest!
                                    I love my One X but this is sure to be my next phone
                                    if it comes to u.s.! :]
