    MdN, 17 May 2013No, Symbian users are still using their Symbian phones. ;-)Yes but there is a 6% share of the new phone market that would have brought a Symbian phone... very little of that has shifted to WP8 (or BB or iOS) it has mostly shifted to Android.... look at the figures.

        Enough with those battery test. lets move to drop test lol. People worship phone nowadays haha.
        Why dont we just, look at the news. or the phone. if we like it. then buy, if not, then dont buy. belief in phone is like a religion. we all agree to disagree with others opinion.

              microsoft got what they wanted, nokia is carrying windows phone but nokia is losing marketshare and profits while doing so.
              and sales are still poor.

                        Killer Droid, 17 May 2013 True good analysts!! Android phones requires an Nuclear Plant to work other dont is pointless compare those.

                        And for the 928 is better the battery endurance than the S4 that is a fact

                                It seems most symbian users are shifting to android not WP8.

                                    Killer droid, 16 May 2013TrueThanks ... It is only a matter of time now, before Nokia may pump up their next flagship battery capacity. Hope some wisdom prevails at their management to bring some 35 to 30% focus on meego (Linux) based platform to absorb some punches from medium Android phones! Hope they expand from Asha 501!!!

                                      It's all about flagships right? So 920 and S3 are 2012 flagships.
                                      920 got a 2000mAh L-ion battery and its endurance rating is "44" hours.
                                      S3 got a 2100mAH battery and its endurance rating is "43" hours.

                                      The comparison of battery lives of 2012 flagships has been done so why don't we get ourselves back on topic again?
