john, 19 Oct 20121. Oled 2. optical zoom camera phones 3. Projector Phones... moreLol. Oled innovation? LG also make it. Projector phones? Even cheap indian company spice make these type of phones. Optical zoom in mobile camera? Which phone dude. Battery? What so special about Samsung battery? Exynos processor? Really? Thice architecture is by ARM, samsung just made the chip. Samsung makes large amount of electronic goods doesn't mean they innovate it.

          john, 19 Oct 20121. Oled 2. optical zoom camera phones 3. Projector Phones... moreI hope you are not kidding yourself.

          - OLED was discovered and developed by Kodak and Philips. Samsung is just the largest OLED manufacturer. Please do some research before posting.
          - If you are refering to the M8920, putting a radio chipset in a Camera device is not innovative. I can put a GSM radio chip and module in a TV unit and brag about having a mobile phone with DVB-C/T. However, Pureview, a 5 years R&D technology ahead of all mobile suppliers is something to brag about.
          - Yeah a projector on your mobile phone... very exciting when you can't wait to put everyone in darkness to fire it up. Have you at least read the reviews about it? Credits to Texas Instruments anyway, let's see if any other phone manufacture will ever introduce this indispensable leap in the mobile world.
          -The other 2 points are not even worth a discussion. I have asked you what Samsung innovate in the telecom world. You are still backing up your arguments with facts that Samsung is an Electronics manufacture.

          For all the guys wondering why Nokia doesn't get Android. Guys, you can't join your competitor. Nokia is not competiting with Samsung, Nokia main rival is Apple and Google. It's an ecosystem battle. The only way to win is to have a strong OS compatible with a strong ecosystem and Microsoft is the best player here. Apple have their Mac lineup and OSX + iOS. Nokia is focusing on Windows Phone because Windows 8 will take the majority of the OS marketshare worldwide. And as soon as you get Windows 8, you will understand why and how WP will dominate the market in the next few years. Nokia will not put its competitor OS on their handset.
          Actually with all due respect, Samsung has no place in the mobile industry without Android ( Sales figures when both Nokia and Samsung were using Symbian )
          If you beat Android, you beat Sony, Samsung, HTC etc..
          Please don't judge WP8 if you haven't had a chance to play with it. God it's not even officially out yet....

            I was in love with windows phones previously. But now Android phones are more impressive. A lot more useful apps but still free of charge.

                DIVAVIKA, 19 Oct 2012i have used iphone / windows phone and currently SGS3. And... moreWell your problems are solved.... I have the new note 2 and its as smooth as smooth can be.... plus it still offers total freedom and customisation. :-)

                I will concede that android on anything below the current high end phones can lag at times.

                  Why keep bringing up useless points to defend your POV? When Symbian hit, was there any other OS that anyone cared about? Hardware is really the only unique components thats todays smartphones carry, but majority of features/software that most phone use were copied from Nokia. But at the end of the day a smartphone is nothing without its OS.... and while this may be hard to swallow but between WP7 and iOS are the best OS's available

                    Anonymous, 19 Oct 2012I don't mean a compromise. Why not to have all in one? The ... moreThe 920 is already more expensive than SIII and near the iPhone. As I said, you can't come up with a $1000 phone to win over the masses. Innovation, trying new hardware departments tend to capture the majority's attention more than quad-cores or 2 gigs of RAM.

                                I am only pointing it out to children over here that making everything you use for making a phone yourself doesn't make you great. It may reduce your costs but that is it.

Now Coca Cola makes soda which is basically just sweetened water with fizz and flavor. so do they make the sugar they use?? No. now a sugar cane farmer sitting in CUBA or India thinks that It is my sugar that coca cola uses to make its cold drinks and makes lots of money. so let me also try and make a "similar looking stuff". obviously without any knowledge it turns out to be dark colored P!$$. Now let's talk about Samsung. they were a lowly hardware supplier who thought they could make phones. but you should check out their pre Android phones. total rubbish. Then Google came in with their cheap iOS copy (Android) and told Samsung that we will give it to you for free and also make it laggy as hell so that people think that you (hardware maker) is really important in making phones. You can step by step keep adding cores so that the phone becomes little less laggy.

                                      So making your own hardware is nothing great! does ferrari make tyres for their vehicles? No! do they make batteries? no! while those things are important for running a car but why make it when you can out source it to people who can make it for cheap. does ferrari make awesome cars? hell yeah!! we are not living in some tribal society where you hunt then you make clothes from the hides and then use them. This is the time of division of labour. do what you can do better than others and leave the rest to others.
