Which smartphone will you choose for a gift, guy

Just reading interesting articles from here : http://360dmobile.com/holiday-smartphone-gift-guide/. They recommends some good phones : nexus 4, lumia 920, HTC 8x. And what is your most desired phone, for me I love to buy HTC8x but also want the super great camera of lumia 920
Personally, looking at them side by side. The 920 is the better phone. Better display, better camera, better design (a little bigger but a well built phone) and Nokia has a lot better apps in the marketplace than HTC does...
Just wondering, did you Cross post this even in the other threads or are you just flaming?

Samsung ATIV SmartPC - Games Video Focus

Hi all, here you are a video focus on the gaming capabilities of the Samsung ATIV SmartPC.
What it's really interesting it's the integration with an Xbox 360 gamepad: well it couldn't be other way, it's a windows 8 machine!

Video: Cortana vs Google Now

The players:
Cortana by Microsoft on a Nokia Lumia 925 (T-Mobile branded) running Windows Phone 8.1 GDR 1 Preview for Developers
Google Now by Google on a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 running Android 4.4.2 w/ Touchwiz
The camera: I used the wife's Galaxy Note 2 to film this. Sorry about any lack in quality, I'm not practiced with the device and it doesn't seem to autofocus as well/quickly as my Lumia 925.
The same twenty questions were asked of each Virtual Assistant in turn and the results were scored (by me). The questions were what I felt was a good mix and the sorts of common uses people would ask of their device. For the constraints of this video everything was done on a desktop and there was no actual field use for navigating and geofencing; although those abilities do come up in the demo - I just wasn't driving around town while I filmed. Both devices had been "primed" before hand by filling in the interests and settings.
Here's my BLOG feed if anyone prefers to read a bit more about the history of the two assistants before viewing the video: My Alter Ego
The video itself is about 45 minutes. Hey, that was 20 questions each (40 total) plus responses by the devices, my reactions and scoring the results... I feel this is a fairly thorough test, even if it is off the cuff, and better than a quick 5 - 10 minute shoot.
Hope you enjoy this presentation.... And let the comment war begin.

Blackberry Priv - Hands-On Review (Blackberry first android phone)

5.4-inch dual-curved screen, a 3,410 mAh battery, touch and physical keyboards, a high-end camera and "extraordinary" audio quality, if BlackBerry may say so itself.
Phone Arena claimed to have some info on the BlackBerry Priv specs back in August, along with the image below. It will reportedly arrive with a QHD display, 3 GB of RAM, an 18 MP main camera and at least a 3,000 mAh battery (the latter claim confirmed by the information about). Phone Arena's source also told it that, in true BlackBerry tradition, the Priv's security would be "second to none".
Other rumors for the BlackBerry Priv suggest it will have a 5 MP front-facing camera and a 1.8 GHz Hexa-core Snapdragon 808 processor.

Perfect phone.
Blackberry has done a good job. A very stylish phone.

Holy s...Wow.

Well, I found this camera comparison (OP5T vs Lumia 950 XL):

The Lumia 950 XL handily won out here. Those ZEISS optics are on another level. And evidently so:

The second link is between the Lumia 950 XL and the Pixel 2XL...and even the 2XL gets beat by this thing. FYI the Lumia 950 XL is a two-year-old phone. Wow... I've talked about the extent to which cameras have improved recently, but I did not realize how much better the cameras of certain older devices could be compared to everything else on the market today. Those Lumia phones from two-three years ago were on another level with their ZEISS optics. The Nokia 8 has those as well, but gets absolutely decimated by this thing.
My brother has a 950 XL. Very awesome phone, but horrible OS.
Too bad Nokia decided to commit suicide by making Windows Phones. Who knows what could have been had they jumped right in on Android from the start.
