I guess that someone refers to a kind of fruit that doctors hate most...

Funny, i get this feeling that a certain company is behaving like a spoilt brat.
And I do not mean Sammy.

with so many sales i see devs targeting the mali gpu and forgetting tegra exists

Compared to the iphone it's nothing really.
You think they'll sell another 15m in a month......

We have a lack of devs for SGS2, I mean at any HTC device section you have a ''team'' working behind MIUI for exemple, making the dev of the rom pretty fast and perfect.
Here we had a good launch of roms for 2 weeks then nothing...
I am sure we can port HTC Sense 3.0 into sgs2 but we need more devs

Lets think about this in a different way - suppose apple licenses iOS to other vendors, do you think the iphone (and not all iOS phones) would sell 18 million per quarter. It's a very hypothetical situation, coz we all know that apple would never give licenses to other companies. Right now the scenario is that anyone who wants an apple/ios phone, u have to buy iphone. Similarly we could argue that if GS2 was the only android phone, it would sell much more than whatever its selling right now.
imho, sales figures of GS2 are quite good considering no-less than 5 "premium" android phones available at present, and maybe another 100 medium-low priced options in market. If they sell anything more than 10million, it's a bonus.

2,9 million or so of that were sold in Korea I think, and Koreans are crazy for everything Samsung does, so it's not a huge number for me. Apple sells 3 million iPhones in a week.

In koreaherald says clearly: "Samsung Electronics Co., the world’s second-largest maker of mobile phones, said Sunday its overseas sales of the Galaxy S2 smartphone topped the 3 million mark 55 days after its launch."
If you are correct, then the total numbers of S2 are 5.9 millions. Consider that S2 isn't even launched in many countries including the US ...

Apple had better plans for Samsung. They are now requesting for a court injunction banning Samsung's from being sold and should be removed from all shelves. Bastards...

For those comparing apple iPhone sales to SGS2 Sales....its like apples' vs oranges. No pun intended. But how many models of phones are out there made by Samsung sold in a week vs apples iPhone per week? That's part of what makes Android the number one OS out there...the ability to have your choice between more than ONE piece of hardware every time an update to the OS comes out

Sprint's Samsung Galaxy S III SPH-L300 Photo and Specs leaked

Found this on youmobile: http://www.youmobile.org/blogs/entry/Sprint-s-Samsung-Galaxy-S-III-SPH-L300-Photo-and-Specs-leaked
Looks completely different from the official version, and has 4.3" display with a 800×480 (WVGA). I doubt this rumor is true, what do you think?

What kind of phone were YOU using 4 years ago that a ""4.3" display with a 800×480 (WVGA)" wouldn't fly?
2008 was before the first android phone even came out too.
Lets take a stroll down memory lane...
These were amongst the top of the line phones around may/june 2008

oh and ah yes...the 2nd generation Iphone the Iphone 3g...
http://www.gsmarena.com/apple_iphone_3g-2424.php
I mean the high resolution flyers of the time were be considered some of the best camera phones on the market (and might still be somewhat competitive today, because of the larger sensors and lens) and it wasn't a smart phone...but Sharp did make some awesome phones
I wanted these phones but they didn't support GSM850...which was required at the time for good reception with Rogers Canada
http://www.gsmarena.com/sharp_sx862-2371.php

So other than the last two phones the 'smartphones' in 2008 pretty much had low res screens toping out at VGA.

HTC 8X true iphone 5 competitor

I belive the HTC 8X is the best iphone 5 challenger from both android and windows phone. The HTC 8X has a screen closest in size to the iPhone. It is a gorgeous handset, it has a high ppi, the camera is solid, and fits the iPhone user. I personally will be getting the Nokia Lumia 920, but I think the iphone 5 is better for more people. The 8X I believe can compete with the iPhone 5 at every level, even with the smaller handed people and from the specs, the camera seems to be very good.

The iPhone 5 is not even a challenger for the One X!

with enough marketing, this could dent the iphone 5. Thin, lightweight and chances are it will take better pictures.

Considering most of them got Iphone so far, despite the constraints of such a device, I am pretty sure they will continue to do so...

not unless you're throwing it at an iPhone.
the iPhone sold what, 5 million, just in pre orders alone, in the first 24 hours?
maybe you were referencing those lumia buyers that don't have an update path? or it could really slaughter a blackberry...
face it folks, iPhone mind share is locked down. solid. Android is growing as new smartphone users come online and as users put their wm devices to rest.
look at the sentiment from a year ago and rabi fans defending lumia. claiming it was superior, it would outsell whoever. this is all going to happen the same year that is " Linux becomes the desktop is of choice" , and for the same reasons.
Nokia makes GREAT hardware, but windows is not going to steal away droves from apple or Google.

I think since the 8x is more mass market, and seems to be around the same size as the ip5, it can compete better. Others like me, like the larger screen and better camera, but the sales will do the talking.

its poor to admit such things publicly , each phone has their own advantage.
s3- fast and cutting edge features

Off course it can't compete right now without a single handset 100% Sony.
What we have available is Sony Ericsson's devices with Sony brand.
Next year will be the year.

You spelt "totally locked up and uncustomisable" wrongly.

They might not compete with iphone5 or Galaxy S3 but not all people are looking for these high-end phones. Not everybody are flashaolic nerds like me. I know a lot of people who still use their phone as a.... PHONE!!! In this category Sony is still a good choice for a phone.(Even I never owned one)

I agree Sony is by far the best looking and best screen android phone, but the miss some points like locked bootloaders and not so good cameras.
I had a xperia s and the device from specs was very nice, from specs I would prefer it as the S3 processor beast. But then with the use you miss important things like USB on the go (not workink but promised) and the 12 mp cam was a piece of SH....

If that happens, maybe Sony will take Samsung's place. Sony devices are in fact, powerful with great support (Also AOSP)
And the system is 200% cleaner than TouchWiz.

it's nonsense to rival iphone. Android doesn't rival, Android beats.

If I am not wrong (stopped stalking for latest releases after buying the S3), Sony still doesn't have a quad core flagship, so if you were indeed a Sony lover you would have already accepted the fact that right now they don't aim for specs (like Samsung does obviously) and like to provide a nice quality phone with decent price, specs and software (updates + aosp release). This is not at all a bad thing and I like where Sony are headed in the Android world.

Sony has cut back a lot, austerity for them due to a loose wallet subsidising blueray with the PS3. Imagine SGS3 costing 20% of its production costs
They hardly make anything themselves now. It's like Honda giving up and rebranding Kia's instead. Karma me thinks, for Sony Music being fascist psychopathic murdering scum

Why does everyone use iphone and reliable in the same sentence? What's not reliable with an android phone? If anything, an iphone is much more unreliable (not hardware-wise, more like software-wise. Have you ever actually owned an iDevice in real life? If you did, you'd notice there are a lot more freezes and app crashes than with android.
Also, how can it be reliable if it doesn't even have proper multitasking?

Sony's 2013 top devices will have S4 PRO,5" 1080p screens,2gb RAM,water resistance,dragontrail glass,Exmor RS 16.2 mpx and 13mpx with third generation dual LED and the sexy look that only Sony know how to do...
But we just can wait with the best device in our hands right now.

If Sony really puts some weight behind these words, and they use the ST-Ericsson NovaThor SoCs next year, they will blow everything out of the water. The STE processors will be manufactured by Samsung, so they will have arguably the best mobile manufacturing process out there for the moment, while having the ImgTech G6xx0's GPUs which seem to look pretty unchallenged in performance.
Up until now all of Sony's devices were just outdated by a good more than half a year. In the mobile space where we basically have 1 year long product cycles, that's half of a product lifetime. The Xperia T is a nice phone, but at this point in time it's basically the same internal hardware as the One XL/S and NA S3's, which are 6+ months old. Don't get me started on the previous "flagships".
Let's hope they can deliver. They have the hardware available to do it.

But one I ensure you. S3 is by far better then any sony.

thats another part of the story

I tried so hard analyzing but now at last I know their reasoning behind releasing Xperia S, Xperia P, Xperia U, Xperia Acro S, Xperia T, and whatever Xperia (ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ) phone they released this year. All along and all this time, those phones were meant to challenge Galaxy S2, HTC Sensation, iPhone4s and other phones from last year! What kind of mindset is that for a company? What have you become Sony? Argh!

The iPhone's implementation of panorama is a great example on why Apple are so good at creating user experiences for the lowest common denominator.
Yes, that's a nice way of saying it's made for stupid people. But making things for stupid people requires very smart ideas.

Galaxy S5 announced. Z2 kicks it's ass.

Galaxy S5 just announced. And I have to say, the Z2 kicks it's ass. Heck, the Z1 might even have a thing or two to say to it. Never thought I'd see the day. But some features Samsung omitted are odd. Especially when u consider 3GB RAM and 4K recording can be gotten on the note 3.

No QHD screen and 'only' a 16MP camera, albeit with faster AF fix times and improved HDR. Even Samsung is running out of things to wow people with.
The fingerprint detection isn't meant to be that hot either, and waterproofing? Yeah, that's unique.
But Sony has been a bit lucky as it could have been a lot more, leaving the Z2 looking like a poor show.

The only 2 things that got me excited about Galaxy S5 are the ultra power saving mode, which is putting an Amoled screen to a good use and the 10hr LTE web browsing. I won't believe it until I test that in person though. That sound's nuts, taking into account that I usually get about 3hrs on screen time with Z1 and when testing Z1 Compact I managed to get around 5hrs.

S5 is like:
Samsung S5 is old people phone Private mode, kids mode for your grandchildren Camera sticking out OLD, but not for huge Nokia camera + backside looks like old case, that was attracting to the eyes and a HEART MONITOR? Why? Old people will really like that, phone + heart monitor, 2 in 1

Umm, op... Could you please change title to "Galaxy S5 announced. Z1 kicks it's ass" xD . Cause that is what's true already. No need for Z2 in comparison with disappointing S5!!

Honestly even the Z1 looks better than the S5. Considering the amount of hype Samsung generated with their 'overhauled' UI and new metal frame, the end product is complete crap. Just look at it...it looks like a cheap chinese ripoff. Somehow I think it looks even worse than the S4. Even the 'all new' UI is the same crap with new icons. No innovation either, they blatantly ripped off the fingerprint scanner and waterproofing from Apple and Sony. Samsung make the most uninspired, overpriced crap I have ever come across. Touchwiz is sh*t and their design is sh*t. I really wish Sony or HTC had the marketing budget of Samsung so that their phones can become popular and represent Android instead of Samsung. Why anyone would buy this over the LG G2, new HTC One or Z2 is beyond me.

Yeah, really wish Sony got the same kind of backing from the Japanese government like Samsung does for mega marketing campaign. And they also need to get their stuffs out quick, heard Z2 won't be available in NA for at least 2 months after other regions, by then all competitors would have sold millions already.

But, as I said many times before, I never liked Samsung, it always look kinda cheap to me...
But there's many great friends (mine) who are loving it - so I'm happy because they got a new toy (this time it's a real toy .)
BTW, if it's powered by KitKat, how come Samsung are allowed to use that kind of battery icon?

I cannot wait for the Z2. Haven't been this excited about a phone since I got my first android phone (desire) about 4 years ago. The specs seem perfect, but the only thing I'm wary of is the size of the phone. Will it be too bulky?

You guys are forgetting the rumor about a premium version of the S5, i doubt Samsung will remain with that piece of crap(still high end flagship hardware) as their flagship for a whole year
They must be planning to release that premium metal version we've all heard about

And why do they keep insisting on trying to make phones that have removable batteries waterproof? Best case scenario users become paranoid and worry about the casing staying attached (and it's gonna wear eventually), worst case scenario a whole bunch of phones ruined due to "user manufacturer error".

If the S4 is their flagship, we can assume it will sell for around $800. How much are they going to charge for the so-called 'premium' line? $1000+? You'd have to be a fool to buy that with phones like the Z2 and HTC One already having the premium status for much less.
