    These numbers will fluctuate throughout the year. i5 is fairly new, so it sells like mad, S4 will be available in 3 weeks time, and then Samsung will catch up very quickly. It is called seasonality. I have an S3 and it still blows most ( read most, not all ) phones out the water. All new flagships are great phones, and it depends on needs and wants. I hate the apple eco-system, boring and all the same. Some people love it because of simplicity. I prefer being able to do what I want with my phone and customizing everything.

And btw, 5 inch I have mentioned. It's more than enough. I was talking about "More Then Five Inch"... Below 5 is I am ok with but more than 5 is just not my thing. Again, its my personal view. No need to be mad about it :)

          Happy day sir

                    I like Samsung and Apple both. They are both the dominators these days but now my attention is some how diverting from Samsung. Reason: Every week, two or three phones who are completely same, just some features and there you go. A new Galaxy "xxx" is release... That is how Samsung is going these days.

                    I know people will say "Oh! This is because Samsung provides variety in sizes". That is a blatant lie, get a mid range Samsung and you won't enjoy it. It is ..well I have read it here. Mostly Android users wrote this on this site. No experience personally. Although, its really stupid to make MOBILEPHONES bigger than 5'. I mean that is a damn big huge size which is hard to fit in a pocket. Even you have to use both hands sometimes for different things. That is pretty much ridicilous from Samsung. Samsung is just killing the concept of portablility. Lets see fan boys bashing "Oh that is the best thing samsung did".

                    I believe Iphone did the best thing staying with a size of a MOBILEPHONE and hadn't enlarge it like a shield.

                    On the otherhand, WP is rising again in the US market. By the time, Android won't be like now. I guess, it is loosing market shares now as people are just loosing interest in it. No to mention, Xperia Z, ZL and HTC One are great, beautiful, stylish, features filled phones.

                    Lets see what the future holds.

                    Edit: Waiting for fanboys :) No trolling, just my persoal thoughts about it.

                          No S4? Xperia Z better, but there is overheating problem.
                          Z and ZL will overheat if u use camera+navigation. Who need 10000 cores if phone will turn off in 10 mins. Even china phone or Galaxy S4 soap would be better.

I had a Note 2 for 6 months and i cant see anything great about it, its very "samsung". Much happier with my Z, now thats a phone that can compete SUCCESSFULLY with iphone.

                                  S4 is actually helping the sales of iphone. Just look how many comments you find on S4 around the web, "I had it, im buying an iphone instead!", and "Same as S3? Ok Xperia Z for me then".
