Do you think dhd has all the features or it missing something

Hi guys
No very soon we will get the DHD
But do you think. DHD has all the features or it missing any features
Thanks

From what everyone has been able to read and see so far the only thing that would be desirable (no pun intended) would be a HDMI port. For me at least anyway.

I think the lack of a built-in coffee machine is unforgivable. Other than that, it seems OK

It seems to have most of the features of current phones, but there are some things it could do better like the camera, screen, battery life etc. There's no such thing as the perfect device unfortunately.

Front camera, camera button, HDMI, pouch and headphones in the box, bigger battery.

It's not perfect of course, but I think it has everything I want satisfied better than any other phone on the market. And that's what matters, I'm sick of waiting for new phones to come out before upgrading from my featurephone

- HDMI
- 8 (or 16) gb Internal memory
- A (much) better camera... The photos taken by dhd that I've seen on internet are very very poor! They seem that they have been upscaled by software to 8 mpx... blown highlights and so on.... very disappointing

IMO I dont think its laking in anything ...
1.5GB is fine for apps when has anyone had more than 700Mb of apps ? (waits to be flamed )
The shots from the camera look poor but i dont think thats the scensor ... maybe test S/W or drivers as the pictures from the N1/wildfire/Desire's 5MP camera are better.
Only thing it could have is HDMI but with the media streaming im not too fussed :-D
All in all this phone is a beast H/W wise

where r the beloved trackball/pad ???

Well I am a Spotify Premium user so 8gb to 16gb of built in memory would have been great ..... but can live with it being on an sd card

Just one feature lacks: a better resolution display to match iPhone 4.

A HDMI port would be nice, but I spose DLNA (is that it?) makes up for that.
Hopefully the screen will live up to the 'HD' name (my touch HD doesn't )

+1 from me. I've got an HTC Desire just now and so far not seeing enough to persuade me to change to a Desire HD. Also not sure I can face the risk of going through the hassle of the Bluetooth not working with my car gain, which was the case with the Desire until we had the FroYo update.

SGS3 wish-list. samsung reps should read this lol

SGS3 hardware specs that I'm looking forward to:
1- Exynos 5250.
2- Mali-T604 GPU.
3- 1 GB of RAM is enough.
4- HD Super AMOLED Plus.
5- Corning's Lotus Glass and Oleophobic coating. 4.3 inches screen should be enough.
6- On-screen buttons which double as LED notification (same like Galaxy Nexus)
7- 2500 mAh battery or close to Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX (3300 mAh). Please sacrifice the phone's thinness for this, please!
8- 12MP back camera with superb sensor and optics (superior than that of iPhone 4S or Nokia N8) and yes, camera button too. the camera should be able to record 1080p video at 30fps. DON'T YOU DARE FORGET LED FLASH THIS TIME, SAMSUNG!
9- 2MP front facing camera should be enough.
10- elegant UI which doesn't appear too geeky or too childish. i don't mind if Samsung change UI aspects of Ice Cream Sandwich, as long as it's as gorgeous as stock AOSP.
11- Wolfson DAC (like in SGS1) with loud and clear loudspeaker, but without crackling sounds like Nokia's loudspeaker.
12- great call quality (without drop calls, etc) up to 16 hours (like Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX)
13- maintaining plastic build all around but with a very high quality and premium mix to it. (hint: something like Nokia N9, polycarbonate plastic)
14- 32GB of storage with microSD card slot.
15- HDMI port + cable (out of the box)
16- WiFi Direct
17- NFC
18- Accelerometer, gyro, proximity, compass, barometer sensor.
19- Ultra smooth browser.
20- High quality headset with mic. source: http://www.talkandroid.com/86999-ja...dio-and-bundled-headphones-to-samsung-phones/ (removing the need for Voodoo sound)
21- comes with multiple colours and not just black. i still want to buy the black version. i just don't want others to have the same thing i have. =p
i hope samsung reps read my post then my make my dream come true. i don't mind paying $8xx for a phone that have all this features. *crossing my fingers*

lol nice dreams i wish

Buddy as far as i knw android doesn't support bluetooth 3.0... so why even think mre than 2.0 !!!
Feel free to correct me if i ve got my facts wrng...

I would rather it have the regular plastic look of the S1 ans S2, because a unibody design is only going to raise the price of the phone simply for the sake of aesthetics.

I would rather that they made a phone worked right out of the box and never lied about fixing the problems later( gps anyone? ). Samsung I wish Apple sues your @ss so much that you have to go out of business forever!

I wish my SGS would instantly teleport me to the person I'm calling when he answers so we can talk directly instead.
Probably have the same changes of that happening as the SGS3 having all the things you want
but seriously now, and edgeless display is all I ever wanted in a phone and that's all I still want now. Everything else is just a bonus.

Why would you want Bluetooth 4.0? BT4.0 is the ultra low energy variant of Bluetooth and with that comes ultra low range and ultra low speeds. You might want to look into a feature before deciding it is good based purely on the version number.
Other than that your list looks pretty good, if not a bit optimistic. I would be content with just having the same audio quality as the Galaxy S, if you're referring to the Wolfson DAC I mean.

what memory internal of sgs3 ?
it look beterry more stronger then s2

I want a battery that is light and powerful (no overnight charging!!)

I wish this list would come true. But then there would be nothing left for them to put in samsung s4. By the way any official release date for the s3 as yet ?

best of luck. Let us know what u want in sgs 4 too

Wouldn't a 720p front facing camera be enough?

What about the screen size?

So bluetooth 4.0 is not that great? OK so I will exclude it from my wish list.

I guess Sammy will do all these and come with 256Mb ram

What about FM transmmiter and HDMI output ?

Actually that list looks pretty reasonable (well may be except for the front facing camera).

They need to do more than just put together a group of decent specs like the SGS II.
Things like UI, battery life, build quality, and so on are what really matter.
If the screen is over 4" I won't be interested either.

Actually the front facing camera on the iPhone 4/4S is just as good, if not better than the one on my GS3.
And as far as the rest of the list, what may be advantages for us may not be for someone else.
I am sure people over in the Apple forums have come up with a similar list on why the iPhone 4S is better than the GS3.
These types of threads are juvenile.

I actually think its a very helpful list for a person choosing between the galaxy s3 and the iphone4s, and yes i was thinking about making a list for the iphone4S I would probably get around 15-20 reasons not 52

I have to disagree with louder speakers. My Mrs has the 4s and while my s3 is loud... Much louder than my s2, the 4s overpowers it when both are set to full volume watching same item.
She loves her 4s and I love my s3!! She tried so hard to get me to get a 4s....as you can see that clearly worked I'm android and could not take a step back to ios (my view).

Maybe so.......guess we all have our own preferences. I think the iPhone is great but I'll never get one until apple offers more screen real-estate. Man hands don't like 3.5 inch screens.

I came from HTC Desire.
My reasons for buying the S3 were:
1. Bigger screen
2. Better proc
3. Larger RAM size
4. Better battery life
5. My Desire was broken...I accidentally drop it from 4th floor ...I searched for a new phone even considered waiting iPhone 5 and looking at Nokia Lumia 800...but SGS3 is the best I can find right now ... I have my doubts on iPhone 5 and WP7 is not very attractive

There's no such thing as an RGB sensor. It falsely appears on some specs. It's just an RGB LED indicator. You have millions of RGB sensors in your cameras, nobody needs a single-pixel rgb sensor.

Samsung Galaxy S III has a complement age ambient RGB light sensor. We have contacted Samsung about it and say typical environmental light sensors detect only green light (is the eye human is more sensitive), but do not work too well under fluorescent lighting. The RGB sensor detects all visible light and supposedly makes better adjustments to the brightness of the screen

frankly speaking there isnt a need for reason to get sgs3 , its already a benchmark for apple to beat , also i not so sure why apple fans is showing a ip4 vs sgs3 videos , cant they wait for ip5 or something

No use comparing a iOS device and an android device.
Android is way more flexible and customizable. IPhone doesnt even allows you to use the memory as a usb flash drive out of the box. You need to do quite some tweaks to reach that.
Consider playing an audio/video on iOS other than the formats recognised by itunes - you will get pissed off!!

No s-voice in your list? some people may think it's a gimmick, but it's extremely useful to a lot of people. it's also a reason for people to switch over if they are anal about siri

Xperia Z vs HTC ONE

Please If I have left something out let me know!
Xperia Z
Thinner
Bigger Screen
Water Proof
Dust Proof
Multitasking Button
microSD, up to 32 GB
DragonTrail Glass
13MP Camera
HTC one
IR Blaster
Higher PPI (469)
Stereo Speakers
UltraPixel Sensor
Built-in Amplifier
Optical Image Stabilization
64GB Storage
HDR Front Camera
Snapdragon 600
Metal Exterior
Viewing Angles
Contrast
Sunlight Visiblity

HTC One is superior in almost all aspects, except no expandable memory slot and the design is not as elegant.
Really annoys me that Sony still haven't released the Xperia Z and all these more powerful phones are coming out now.

this shouting match is already going on here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155877&page=7

- Xperia: dragontrail hasn't been confirmed by Sony, so we can't really know.
- Built-in amplifier ? All devices with sound output have built-in amplifiers.
- I'm not sure if UltraPixel sensor isn't just higher ISO setting by default, i don't trust marketing like that.
- Xperia also supports 64gb micro cards.
PS. We already have a thread like that - and it draws flame wars etc.

I guess you won't notice a big difference of the screen size...the 5 inch displays of the Sony has to show the buttons at the bottom. On the HTC One they don't "count" to the display.
I haven't decided yet, but I still favor the Xperia Z

Ultrapixel is just a marketing term the sensor is as big as the sensor in the z but has far less pixels, which is for lots of reasons better, especially for a phone, coupled with de IS it is bound to be better than the z. I think it is a smart move from htc especially for a phone.

The htc one is absolutely gorgeous, the best looking phone I've ever seen, extremely premium aluminium uni body, with what will be the best screen on any phone this year. Having played with an xperia z in store, with its awful washed out screen, average camera, and a build and look that strangely doesn't feel particularly premium in real life, i'm glad I didn't pre order the xperia z

Why don't you add the Galaxy S 4 to the topic?
These topic's are so stupid, technology nowadays is going so fast... Each device you're fighting for these days will be outdated in a few months.
Just choose a device and live with it until you can get a newer one.
SO WHAT'S THE POINT!??

only supports 16GB?

HTC is also much better in dropping marketing terms
any way probably a better phone.

I honestly really like both phones. There will always be advantages to one phone over the other, but honestly (unless you are a complete pessimist) both phones should be able to keep you happy for around 1-1.5 years minimum.
The thing that I want to understand is the HTC One Capacitive Buttons. You have home and back... but where is menu? Menu is probably one of the most essential buttons in android. Hopefully (this is what I would do) hitting home once would bring up menu, and double tap will go home. Something along those lines. Nothing I am really worried about anyways (AOKP will fix it haha)
I do not really think UI is something to get in a heated debate about... once custom firmware hits you can put whatever you want on. Personally I am going to rock stock AOKP on any phone I get.
Same goes for storage.... Sure XZ has a micro SD slot, but there aren't any micro SDXC cards bigger than 64gb (and might not be for a while), so really the difference between the HTC One and XZ is 64GB vs 80GB at maximum.
The only real criticism I have for Sony is the delayed North American release for the Z and especially the ZL. HTC revealed the phone today and will release in a Month. Xperia ZL was revealed in mid January and wont come out till April. There is no point to reveal an amazing new phone and then release it once it is old news. Shame on Sony for that.
Both phones are awesome, just go for the one you prefer.
Battery life is something I am finding more and more confusing with Android phones. How is it that the HTC Butterfly gets a better battery life test during video streaming than the Xperia Z by over an hour, yet has a 13% smaller battery, same processor,same GPU, and same screen resolution. This seems completely counter-intuitive.
Now for my personal opinion. I prefer the outer design and features of the ZL over the HTC One (I like the idea of as little bezel as possible), however I prefer the One screen and speakers. Not going to make any decisions till the Galaxy S4 comes out.

Just saw camera samples of "ultrapixel" phone... seriously not convinced (they have just made photos from old sensor clear)...compared http://blog.gsmarena.com/here-are-the-first-samples-from-the-htc-one-ultrapixel-camera/# this snap with my old 5mp carl zeiss sensor in nokia n97( similar shot i took of my watch back in 2009)... and BOOM! HTC has gone back 4 years
maybe it will be better if they had released 8MP with ultrapixel... obviously pixels will not remain big and so called ultra pixel will lose its meaning...
well in long run when reviews come out this may not pay well for HTC.
.... happily go with XZ ...
benchmarks are only 5-10% better and that too only due to higher clock CPU .... i m not convinced with snapdragon 600 too .... it did nothing brilliant... over s4 pro... (i dont know if it saves more power)
but then obviously its my view of the summary... lets see what happens... XZ has its own flaws too.

Do you guys really like the UI ? Can't say i like it... especially the drawer. In this aspect Sony's UI is much better for me ( if they got rid of those hideous grey rectangles in the drawer - it'd be perfect for me as far as Android can go, and in terms of UI i'm a big fan of Windows Phone's consistent, simple and clear UI )

Just saw camera samples of "ultrapixel" phone... seriously not convinced (they have just made photos from old sensor clear)...compared http://blog.gsmarena.com/here-are-the-first-samples-from-the-htc-one-ultrapixel-camera/# this snap with my old 5mp carl zeiss sensor in nokia n97( similar shot i took of my watch back in 2009)... and BOOM! HTC has gone back 4 years

Hmm... they're not bad, but certainly nothing "ultra" here. Let's wait for some more camera tests.

maybe it will be better if they had released 8MP with ultrapixel... obviously pixels will not remain big and so called ultra pixel will lose its meaning...

I think it's gonna be more than 5-10%.

Don't know which to chose myself. I think maybe if the One has good battery life, I'll go with it.

I think they are quite good, for a phone hardly any noise, but still a phone no matter how cool the sensor tech (and indeed this is just going back to basics nothing new going on) the lens still sucks, if the lens suck the photo quality sucks it's simple. really great photo's on a phone is just not going to happen (if the phone needs to be thin)
It has the same GPU as the s4 pro, it is a marginal update, maybe it will perform better in some cases. the 800 series will be a different beast.

The HTC One also has infinity glass which reduces glare and is resistant to scratching.

looks more like a overclocking advantage except for quadrant
