lol the reason why the apple 5 vs s3 took more reviews because you compared that phone to samsung s3(the most popular phone) and everyone was too interested if that could beat the monster phone

i thought you did not get that far if you just compared that phone to other flagship phones

      Is there any article for the highest-rated phone of 2012? The Nokia Lumia 920 surely will top it.

            Now i understand why so many people hate Nokia, that's because nobody reads its reviews and don't know a s**t about it. For as long as it's not a chicken brain compatible technology it can not be popular. It's a well known fact that the majority of humanity today are simple consumers without dialectic capabilities, so the most hated logically indicates the best!

                                    Mus, 02 Jan 2013to your knowledge ,there weren't alot of lumia news. this y... morea side note : although every one knows now that the most successful smartphones r samsung galaxies(i am one of them as i own a Note 2) but i have to say that the lumia range will be successful as well maybe even more than galaxy series because lumia in its first year secured more than 10 million units sold, that's something the galaxy series couldn't do in its first year where the smartphone market was very easy(just symbian on top and it was awful) ,now nokia made more sales in its first year in alot more fierce market. galaxy series wasn't that successful until galaxy ace came (and then the almighty s2) the corresponding device for the ace in nokia is lumia 620 which still going to be released
                                    let's face it if nokia wants to retain the top spot again , it won't come overnight. whether this day will come or not,these r samsung's days now and sammy deserves it for their amazing products

Maybe peopl... moreto your knowledge ,there weren't alot of lumia news. this year b4 wp8 ,nokia launched only two lumias :610 and 900 so no way they would make it to the top. the wp8 came very late in 2012 so no way any they can make it to the top either.

                                        First of all I would like to thank GSMArena for giving us great news to read and comment. Hats off and job well done. To me every news from GSMArena is a good one and I always enjoy reading it. On another note it seems that every top 10 article/survey/news etc , Samsung most probably will be mention here. Not that I am whining but Sammy is just all over GSMArena. It would be great if your team should let us know your favourite smartphone/tablet/OS and compile it into top 10 list as well. Thank you GSMArena and I wish you all the best. Cheers....
