It's been 24 hours since the launch of SGS3. In the forums and the blogs in general, I saw a lot of negativity about the phone. This feels a lot like the iPhone4S situation. I wondered if Samsung actually dropped the ball. I felt it was a decent upgrade, and also something different that Samsung is attempting for first time. In every previous launch event, all they showed was specs, power etc., This time they just concentrated only on services and features. AFAICR, they used the term Android maybe twice and did not even mention the speed of cores. Then I saw this thread about how HOX is so much better. I thought why not do a proper survey w.r.t various parameter. So here it goes:
1] Looks: HTC is better. HOX looks more sophisticated. SGS3 is a "safe" design IMO. Not bad, but nothing extraordinary either. Not a deal-breaker for me.
Verdict: HOX
2] Build quality: Maybe same. Once we have the SGS3 in hand, we can be more sure. But in all probability, both phones should be equal in this respect.
Verdict: Tie
3] Display: More sub-pixel on HOX. Many people don't like PenTile. But at such resolution, I don't think it would be such a big deal. The display in SGS3 is 21% bigger area than SGS2. With this comes 60% more sub-pixels compared to SGS2. So, this should be definitely better than SGS2 display. Note that Sensation had more pixels compared to SGS2 (qHD vs WVGA), still it didn't stop SGS2 to sell few times more than Sensation. Needless to say texts will be crisper on HOX, but SGS3 wins hands down on contrast and black levels. Common folk tend to like the AMOLED screens just for this. As per Anandtech: Take the Galaxy Nexus, subtract the luminance grain, make it a bit bigger, and you have the SGS3 panel.
Note that AMOLED is a big selling factor for common folks. There are only 2 brands in mobile display - Retina and AMOLED. IPS / PLS / SLCD / AVS does not make any difference for general people. I can bet that HD Super AMOLED logo itself will sell a lot more units for Samsung. Plus or no Plus simply won't matter.
Verdict: HOX for XDA-nerds, SGS3 for general public.
4] CPU: Exynos is just too good. Check AnTuTu, BrowserMark, SunSpider.

}
AnTutu scores for SGS3 are in range of 11000-12000.
Verdict: SGS3
5] GPU: This is where Tegra3 is left embarrassed.
Tegra3 has a single channel memory controller. Exynos also uses 128-bit internal bus like A15's. While all other A9 uses 64-bit AFAIK.
Verdict: SGS3
6] Audio: Beats is pure meh! Here SGS3 is clear winner just because of the Wolfson DAC. Trust the guru:
http://twitter.com/#!/supercurio/status/198149523724439553
http://twitter.com/#!/supercurio/status/198151127534018560
Native sampling rate: 44100 Hz. It means music played will be sent as-is to the DAC instead of being processed by a software up-sampling routine as it is on Galaxy Nexus or other devices with codecs accepting only 48000 Hz.
Verdict: SGS3
7] Camera: Both cameras look same. Nothing much known about the sensor SGS3 uses. It's S5C73M3 BSI sensor. Whereas HOX uses the Samsung sensor S5K3H2YX. This was one of sensors in SGS2. HOX has the same sensor used in SGS2. F stop is much better in HTC -- 2 compared to 2.6 in SGS3. But that's just one part of story. We have to check the sensor capabilities. Like I mentioned HTC is using the sensor from SGS2, and SGS3 uses a brand new sensor. And HOX never proved to be best shooter even before the SGS3 launch.
HOX review from GSMarena: The first two charts play to the One X strengths and shows it as a good shooter, though still not the best in the 8MP game. The third chart shows good too, but also some artifacts due to the sub-optimal processing of the One X.
There are other novelties associated with both shooters -- burst mode, best pic, scene selection. It's virtually same here.
Verdict: Still up for debate.
8] Video: SGS3 is clear winner here. HOX does not record in High profile. It records at mere 10 Mbps Baseline whereas SGS3 does High Profile recording at 17 Mbps.
Verdict: SGS3
9] Battery: Bigger and removable battery in SGS3. Also better lithography in 32nm HKMG.
Winner: SGS3
10] Storage: More options for SGS3. Also MicroSD upto 64GB and 50GB dropbox.
Verdict: SGS3
11] RAM: Both 1 GB.
Verdict: Tie
12] Communication: Wi-Fi / NFC / GPS / GLONASS / MHL are same on both devices. SGS3 though have Wi-Fi Direct for real faster data transfer.
Someone can compare the radio / baseband and other related entries.
Verdict: Tie
13] Accessories: Almost same again. SGS3 has Wireless charging. Good for publicity, nothing more.
Verdict: Tie
14] Sensors: HOX has Gyro sensor, G-Sensor, Digital compass, Proximity sensor, and Ambient light sensor.
SGS3 has Accelerometer, Magnetic Field sensor, Orientation + Gravity + Linear acceleration + Rotation, Light & Proximity, Gyroscope, Pressure sensor.
Verdict: SGS3
15] Misc Novelties: These might not matter much for XDA-geeks, but are a good way to attract customer. Lets talk about HOX first - the most visible parameter is Beats audio. Not sure if they include it now, but it's a nice gimmick for consumers.
SGS3 clearly is aiming for a lot of such experiences/services. S Voice, Smart stay, Direct Call, Pop up play, Social tag etc.,
Verdict: SGS3
16] Sense vs TW: Again purely subjective. I can live with both. Each has their own style. I would have liked for more darker theme for TW as it has the AMOLED screen. The colours "pop-out" and shows great contrast level with a darker theme. Would have made better use of the AMOLED screen. Sense, on the other hand should have gone for a more luminous theme. The screen has high Nits value. So brighter theme would be more suitable.
Verdict: Tie
I plan to modify and add items as we discover more about these phones. Comments supporting and opposing any phones is more than welcome.
cheers!

big..........
I don't love how obscenely tall+wide it is, but I can live with that, for a 6 inch screen.
However, it is simply too thick and the non-removable battery is too small.
The Nexus 6 is thicker than all its 6-inch contemporaries (Mate 2, Mate 7, Vibe Z2 Pro) and in the case of the latter two, significantly so.
I could even live with this thickness if it packed a huge battery, but it does not. All 3 of those contemporaries have batteries that are at least 25% larger. People are quick to point out that the Nexus 6 has the same capacity as the Note 4. Well, this same battery is powering a .3" larger screen in the Nexus 6, and unlike the Note 4, is non-removable.
I am a huge lover of Nexus devices. I love everything about the stock Android, developer friendly devices. But I will very likely not be getting this new Nexus, after owning every iteration beginning with the Galaxy Nexus.
the note also has to power the wacom digitizer, and is a lot more software heavy which will put extra strain on the battery
Too Big !!! to handle ...
Screen size should really not exceed more the 5". 5" is good enough for a smart fone
It's going to be big, but I will get used to it. I just can't pass up a Nexus phone with those specs.
*edit
Pretty neat tool to compare its size.
http://www.phonearena.com/phones/size/Google-Nexus-6,Apple-iPhone-6-Plus/phones/8626,8908
With the case I have on my Nexus 5, its not that much bigger. I may have to go caseless tho.
Specs to add:
Wireless Charging + Turbo Charging
F2.0 Camera
10.1mm thickness with a curved back. It's razor thin on the sides.
Compared to the iPhone6+, Iphone6, and MotoX (2013).
Honestly, I am hyped and I cannot wait to upgrade from my N4 to this!
Love Back Camera Style
Nexus 6 is good in features. It has large screen, latest Android and all other stuff but the thing that I liked the most is camera representation.
Like apple , Nexus should go with a logo.
Sorry as much as I like nexus based phones I will not buy any phone without an SD
card slot.
Love the phone, but my first impression after a week is that it was built upside down.
The heavier, thicker part feels better in the palm of my hand, rather than at the top where the device ends up feeling top-heavy.

Your so right. I just flipped mine upside down and it's way easier to handle. Oh well. I still like it.

Flipping is a good idea.
I got the idea to check the lcd_density in Lollipop..
Google set this value to 560 dpi for the Nexus 6.
I do not understand that, because the native dpi of the N6-display is 493.
Changed the density from 560 to 493.
Result: better screen, smaller icons. Room for 5 columns instead of 4.
(Now looking for an idea to change the white background to black and characters to white).
Just Love It
Im coming from a nexus 5 - OPO...... After using it for more than a month,
I really love the screen and its size, Actually the smaller bezel on the bottom makes sense to me. when the nav bar is visible it looks as if the bezels are completely balanced. I like the design and the curves but after seeing some phones with damaged plastic backs Im very concerned about it now. I dont see my self selling this until the next nexus. Sorry about my english.
what i can say is without a doubt ill never go back to another type of phone. i cant believe i waited to long to find this out. how you can flash away without the risk of bricking, and the phone complaining about the software being changed. incredible
Front facing speakers are now a must have feature for me, absolutely love them!
i like
Like it, new system for me
mrturcot said:
TBH I wish it has the Snapdragon 810 with ARMv8-A (64-bit architecture) as it has a lot of new features and performance/battery improvements over the older ARMv7 (32-bit architecture). Other than that im super happy! I guess something to look forward to for the next Nexus, 64 BIT PROCESSING!!!
BUT THAT CHARGING THO!! 0-50% in like 15-20mins!!

Wasn't the concern about the Snap 810 was overheating?
Either way the phone goes beast mode through anything.
Charging is definitely where its at though!

Not sure what to think? I want most of the specs from the 6P to be in the 5X, 5.7 screen is just to big
that's too bad, even the 32GB version only has 2GB of RAM. they're going to miss a ton of sales due to this alone.
no SD card was expected, but people who are new to Nexus devices won't like that either.
sales will be even softer due to no carriers or brick & mortar retailers selling it.
for those wanting a ~5" device, next one to look fwd to will be the OnePlus Mini which should be out by Christmas.
I thought other leaked info indicated camera sensor is RGBW?
Well now we know that the price for 16GB is $379 (probably will be well over £300 I reckon) we can safely say this thing is not that competitive really, on specs or on price. Makes it an easy decision for me.
4K, 340fps?? really?
I skipped the nexus 6 last year, now again I'm disappointed. Not buying this.
Tapping on the toe with a new hat
dissapointed. but well see on the reviews
Wow really this is it! Was deciding the sell my oneplus two but now after this I'm keeping it!
HTC is announcing new phones tomorrow as well, including a 5" phone with mid-range specs (SD 617 chip) that looks just like an iPhone on the back. pretty sure that phone only has 2GB RAM as well.

no, but just figured i'd mention what else is coming available in the 5" size. of course, you could just unlock, root, and install a custom AOSP rom with HTC.
Hmm...so no snapdragon 820 and QHD display that were rumored.
hexacore. rrriiiight. I think I'll just get this for $140 and call it a day.

That's what i thought when i bought the lg g2, but since lg never released lollipop in my country every lollipop aosp rom had issues. Look at the galaxy s6 forums, no aosp in sight.

there's no AOSP for S6 due to the proprietary processor Samsung uses, it's essentially closed source so developers don't have access and thus really can't bother.

My eyes popped out looking at that too. Has to be a typo, unfortunately.
2GB ram is kinda retarded... I just cannot undestand why they did this....
I don't understand why the hell everyone wants more than 2 GBs of ram. It's a bloody phone...
I am happy with it. Just miss a 64GB option. And maybe G4's 3000mAh Battery.
Am am sure this will be again a hot seller...
For me, all they needed to do was pretty much an updated version of the original, but this time sort out the camera and battery.
I know many find the specs to be under what's expected. But in a few months time when the 5X is still smooth running the latest M and the S6 owners are still waiting, the 5X may be the smart choice.
Lets see what the reviews say about the Camera & Battery.
Hi all
This thread is for general discussions regarding the Sony Xperia Z5's specifications and design features. Feel free to post why you picked the Z5 over its competitors, and why.

I really like the green color, waterproof/resistant, the vibrating motor is amazing (I think this is a part many overlook in reviews but I hate rattling vibrator motors).
The battery life could be better but its not disappointing in my opinion this will probably get better with marshmallow. Oh and the low light camera performance is slightly worse than what I was expecting.
Overall I think its one of the best android devices this year. No other high end smartphone has IP65&IP68 while keeping a pretty design (the S6 active is ugly plus touchwizz dont even wanna think about it). The camera in daylight is amazing much better than the iphone 6s plus(I own both devices).
Thats about it I think as far as why I picked the Z5.
Spec wise, to me, it's the only complete package phone of 2015 besides the lg g4.
I wanted a ~5 inch screen, had to be FAST and a have great camera. I like pointy rectangles in my phones and a close to stock Android interface too.
Samsung S6 is an ugly phone with a gaudy UI - never considered it even though I could've bought one for €200 less...
Regret: Should've gotten the green one.

I had the Z2! Really felt an absurd difference in the vibration of the Z5! Very good! Sony changed the vibration motor?
I like the design of the phone. Ergonomics, finger print scanner, frosted glass design. Enjoying my device
The vibrator motor in my Z1 was enough to make it fall off my desk if someone was calling (I had to tone it down) and all I hear about Sony from any decent reviewer is the vibrator motor is enough to break your femur
Hello guuys i've a question,
it is supossed that z5 has SD810 v2.1 rigth? , so why cpu temp shows mine as rev1?
Hello All,
Dharma Chandru, One of The Oppo Global Product Ambassadors, I Have Received Matt Black Version of The OPPO Find X5, I Have been Using it for a Month and ill sum up my thoughts and review from a Photographers POV.

Build Quality & Design ::
OPPO Find X5 Truly caters the Word Flagship and it Uses Super Premium Materials and it feels great to hold it on hands and its almost the right size. Not so big,not so small. The Size and the choice is screen size is very much apt for Personal Movie Experience
Performance & Screen ::
Im never into Gaming so Let me give you a glimpse on the Performance from my personal experience while i was using it for a short while.
Oppo Find X5, phone is powered by the Snapdragon 888 processor, paired with Practical 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, App Launch including Photoshop,Lightroom and Snapseed are Super Fast and theres no Lag in Import,Processing and Export too. Handles Large files with Ease.
Oppo Finx X5 has an 6.55 Inch Amoled Screen with HDR 10+ and Supports 120 Hz. The 120 Hz is a Bliss while reading but it consumes more battery than the regular 60 Hz Mode. i Preferred to use 60 Hz as Default. It has a resolution of FHD at 2400x1080 and is bright enough to be used comfortably outdoors with 500 nits, it can be boosted to 800 nits, i tried using it under direct sunlight and i could manage to use it without any problem.
Battery ::
The Battery has 4800 Mah which is like very practical, with the Supported 80W SuperVOOC Charger the charging time is Super Fast and i could attain 3% to 100% in about 40 Mins. Put up on a charger head for the shower and when you are back you should get a days charge up and running if u are a casual user.
Speakers ::
The Stereo Speakers are quite impressive, the sound through ringtones and song ringtones are rather clean than loud. I Personally prefer this rather than loud jarring speakers from the ones i used earlier.
Color OS ::
Color OS is quite New to me and Its close to Stock OS. Thats one of the Favorite thing for me. The main Settings menu features Oppo's colorful icons for easier navigation. Android 12's new privacy features are implemented. You get a summary of all the apps that use your data, location, camera, microphone, etc., all in one place. It's called Privacy Dashboard and is something like Digital Wellbeing but privacy-focused. Most of the UI elements on ColorOS can be customized. We are talking deep customization of app icons, accent colors, quick toggles and their shape, font, fingerprint reader animation, Edge lighting for incoming notifications0, of course, the Always-on display.
Camera ::
Lets Begin Talking about the Most Important and The Favorite Part From OPPO X5. i.e The Camera
Selfie Camera ::
A 32 MP Selfie Camera With F2.4 Aperture. This should be very much okay for most users as it can convincingly make good portraits with Decent bokeh effect. The Skin Tones are quite real and theres no artificial bleaching.
The Main Cameras ::
Find X5 relies on Two 50M Sony IMX766, 1/1.56", 1.0µm sensors for its Main and Ultra-wide cameras. Both sensors support multi-directional PDAF, of course. Their lenses are what sets them apart. They use uses a 13MP, 1/3.4" sensor paired with f/2.4 aperture for Telephoto. Thanks to the Hasselblad Tuning and MariSilicon Neural Processing Unit. The Results are outstanding. The Videos Has Pro Mode & 5 Axis Stabilization which almost reduces the Use of the Gimbal and we do have HDR Log Mode to Record video for Greater Post production Compatibility.
I Have been using this Camera From 5AM in the Morning to 1 AM in Midnight and the best part i like about the Camera is Super Fast and Accurate Focus in most Conditions. I Have used it under Various conditions From Harsh Sunrise to Blazing Light Trails
Some Studio Portrait Samples ::
Some Architecture Samples ::
Twilight Samples ::
Long Exposure Samples ::
These Were Mounted on a Tripod.
Some Night Scape Samples ::
Conclusion ::
Overall Im Very Happy with the Phone as My Primary use is Photos,Videos and Social Media and Sometimes Photo Processing and The Phone Does the Job in a Fantastic Manner. If you are Someone who wants a Daily No Nonsense Phone which can Shoot some Wonderful Photos, Then you should Consider Oppo Find X5 or Oppo Find X5 Pro

Screen: 5/5
The LTPO2 AMOLED with its 1 Billion colours is really sick, I literally was cross-watching 4K YT videos on Find X5 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro and S22 Ultra, they’re all sleek but OPPO somehow makes the videos dramatically deep and sharp, allowing to see very precise details. The upgrade from Find X3 Pro I see on the specs side is in the screen refresh rate, the 120Hz are now dynamically, it feels that the dynamic range helps to save battery as well. The curved glass looks amazing, shaping the phone to a more premium appearance, sometimes I fat finger a bit with my thumb when holding it and have to get used to holding it on the frame. The range from 500 nits up to 1300 nits together with the HDR video mode on video play is most likely the reason that the experience of watching videos is very life-like.
Battery: 5/5
A 5,000mAh battery capacity, which supports 80W fast charging, and takes you 35 mins. to charge from zero to 100… and wait, the charger is included. What better flex could you make?
This 5000 mah battery is awesome, most likely the very best duration I ever experienced. Haven’t tried the 50W wireless charging yet.
Camera: 4/5
Every user of Asian smartphones was feeling weird at first when using the cam and experiencing these massively face changing filters, and that turning them off wasn’t always possible.. So yes, these times are over!
Here with the Find X5 Pro it feels like another massive step made forward by OPPO’s devs. The colours are bringing the greatest real-life experience so far with true colours, it might be the impact of the collab with Hasselblad. The Ultra Night Video shows its highest strengths in completely dark environments, with zero to low light impact, night shots in the streets are showing great colouring and sharpness too.
There are two downsides I personally see: The Find X3 Pro had a macro mode, it was pretty awesome to explore although you never really post these pics. Second point for me is the zoom. The 13MP 2x telephoto camera is working fine but feels miles behind other phones that come with 5x or 10x zoom.
Generally the picture and video quality is stunning, but that is to be expected for a flagship phone I guess. Oh and the stabilisation system (OIS) with its 5-axis makes it impossible to mess up shots.
Software: 4/5
ColorOS is a heavily customised version of Android 12, I think that’s separating two types of people in general.
It turned out that the OPPO UI continues to be my favourite so far, making the balance between stock Android and manufacturer customization. I personally feel safe to use it, especially with the latest focus on user security features. The downpoint as for most Android phones: The availability of updates.. I should have been able to upgrade but was travelling and couldn’t get it first hand.. Quick message to support solved it. The interface itself is pretty easy and efficient to use, it seems it also solved battery heating issues, mastering it now (so far) on a great level.
Backside: 5/5
I was surprised to see how a Ceramic phone feels in everyday usage, and it turned out to be pretty awesome. Usually however you try to protect your phone, you will get some tiny scratches.. I’m feeling safe using the Find X5 Pro without cover after the first week, btw. I’m using the black version, it’s basically like Chrome, mirroring, and even here, no way to get any scratch on it. That’s just crazy if you think about it!
A noteworthy point that can be highlighted as a huge plus is that it also allows wireless charging, I used a 30W charger in my car. Some may find the unique design appealing as a highlight, and wearing your phone in your pockets lets you understand how amazing it is to have no edges in the camera area, it’s literally clean all the time.
The hardest point for me to judge was the camera. The built-in tech is working smoothly and brings the OPPO on some areas at top levels, but the missing zoom options do hurt a bit.

Thanks. I like mine a lot, good battery life, super camera but the ceramic back is still slippy. I have the white one as I can't abide shiny mirror like finishes....
Disappointed by lack of font options (no bold font for example) and the two stock fonts are too similar. It's very smooth through the IU though, no stuttering (unlike the s22+ I had recently).
