Let him keep his toy Samsung phone while the adults will buy Sony.

        Now when somebody puts a Bluetooth enabled stylus with a speaker on the end to write and take calls on while being able to be tucked into the chassis like the note we will be there! Great work Sony.

          AnonD-80440, 27 Jun 2013big faults in battery / size / camera and screen again.. ... moreHow can you say there's so many faults when the phone hasn't even come out yet, battery - 3,000mah is more than adequate for this beast, camera - 8mp yet again is more than you need and with the Exmor RS Sensor you won't have any problems in low light conditions, screen - this will beat the Super Amoled display in contrast, clarity and viewing angles but lets wait and see when the phone is the finished article, then we can compare it properly with it's competitors, but having seen so many videos on youtube this phone looks amazing already.

                ET, 27 Jun 2013IF somebody gives me one of these, I'll thank him/her a LOT... moreTop Specs demand big size.

                Low Specs demand good OS.

                You cannot have Top Specs at small size.

                Unless you give up on android and go iOS.

                  ET, 27 Jun 2013IF somebody gives me one of these, I'll thank him/her a LOT... moreSo, instead of releasing the ONLY 6.4" phone on the market, targeting those who want a large-screen phone, they should have given consumers "choice" by releasing yet another 5" phone?

                  Kids, this is your brain, and this is your brain on Samsung. Don't do it.

                    And what are you on about the display? The display is much more advanced than Samsung's AMOLED. This Sony phablet has torpedoed the Note 3 before it has even been announced. Game over, this round goes to Sony.

                      It looks like xz on steroids but had a side effect of lower mp and no flash hahaha ..but i am sure sony wud try to be depomatic by keeping the price low and why not later they will try to munch money with honami ..which the blind sony fans wud buy like hot cakes ....however no one wud b able to beat the GOD ZONE BEAST Note III at least for 3 to 4 yerars till note IV gets in and Note IIs history will repeat ..and i am sure Note III wud b a bang for a buck..

                        IF somebody gives me one of these, I'll thank him/her a LOT, test it, sell it and buy something that fits my hand.

                        Seriously... How I miss when we had options for good/top phones, not only the brand, and the huge or giant sizes as we have today.

                        Hopefully there's a company with balls to release different TYPES and sizes of phones to the market with top specs.
