          AnonD-42480, 06 May 2012I wanna hear from you iPHONE 4s fanatics,if Apple releases ... moreCurrently no Iphone could beat Samsung(galaxy SIII model) in terms of performance but it's not bad either( 4S slapped Galaxy SII in the face with a smaller CPU and 512MB RAM). About display size, I don't think Apple will go that high from 3.5", and surely not that size but a more common one. They don't like to fragment the OS.

                AnonD-31321, 06 May 2012Battery life is horrible S4 one x has been reviewed and tested to be as good as the iPhone 4s in terms of battery life. Btw, the galaxy nexus has shit battery life with super amoled. The siii has a bigger version of the galaxy nexus' screen. It also has a bigger battery. But as far as whites and web browsing go, amoled is worthless. The battery will be dead in 4 hours

Phone size deals with absurdity when placing it against your face or pocketability. Of course the two are closely related but one should now assume large screen automatically means huge phone... even though it kinda does. Feels kinda pointless writing this now, oh well. Hit submit and be done with this

Looks some people are just slow. The only important about the phone is that it plays all the games, all the videos, and renders the UI with no lag. Plus it has to have great battery life. So take a battery raping amoled screen, make it bigger, and slap a quad core processor with an over clocked gpu in it and what do you get? Crap for battery life. I realize it has a 2100mah battery so I can't quite judge how well it'll do but I was expecting a much improved design in the galaxy s III, I didn't get that. So how should I expect the battery life to fair? I certainly don't believe Samsung can meet expectations.

How about we put great design, great camera, great battery life, and great screen all in one phone? Yeah, that's the s4 one x. I've been on Samsung for two years (captivate and gsii) but I'm no tool/fool. I know a good phone when I see it. if you can't see it then I guess there's nothing for you to lose. But for the rest of us we care about the whole package, we care about the quality of the entire phone.

                              Tegra is the worst chip ever it lags with HD movies and doesn't show much of details "Check YouTube HTC One X vs Galaxy Note" and most of all most of games can't run on it except the ones whom optimized to Tegra.

                                      I have galaxy s2,and I love it. I had the plan of trading it off for S3 but the design is not impressive at all. I hate the curvature of both top and bpttom ends.
