PhoneArena stacks up a preview Samsung Galaxy S II unit to demonstrate how the Galaxy S sequel takes the "thinnest smartphone" crown from the iPhone 4. We also compare it with the 0.39" (9.9mm) thick Galaxy S and showcase how remarkably thin it is, even next to the 0.37" (9.3mm) iPhone 4.
The Samsung Galaxy S II is 0.33" (8.49mm), which is less than even the Sony Ericsson Xperia arc, which is 0.34" (8.7mm) in its thinnest part...

Thanks... Nice find. Seems that they just got their test phone today. Will be looking over their sites for updated content.
My word, I played with an arc yesterday and it was amazingly thin, can't wait to see the Galaxy S II in person!

Xperia P & Xperia U !!
Cool devices..but not cooler than Xperia S !!
Xperia S is Awesomely Amazing !!
great show over all......shame we didnt see UXP NXT
I like the P and U, cool design overall, with bright colours.
The biggest news was that they're going to ship the ion internationally... I still want an S though.
It's a shame no Play2 was announced.

Pretty expensive for that. In german amazon the price for pre-ordering the xperia s is the same..449€. I would take the s becuase it is bigger and has more power
Edit: on amazon it is 488€...the cheapest offer of 449€ was from another company

Would you prefer plastic over aluminum ?

Nope. Aluminium feels very good in hands I like this very much on my dads sensation and my girlfriends iphone ( she hates android :'( )
So if the xperia s would have an aluminium body it would be perfect

hi,
i have a sensation xe currently and am just sick of android
having gone through three of them in years.
i am looking at wp8 for my next phone.
can anyone tell me whether the Nokia Lumia 820 or HTC 8X are better as compared to any
android midrange phone??
p.s i am a heavy music listener and like to read books on my phones in my spare time:silly:
so can anyone tell me which one of these phones are better suited for this
Go with the Nokia phone.
Not sure about music on my Lumia 920
because i like Cyanogen Mod ROM on android
with DSP with killer Bass level
You have an equalizer on the Lumia 920 and I guess that's also available on the 820. So you should be able to customize the music output to fit with what you want.
I am extremely impressed with beats, running on my 8X. I haven't found a good book reader, but haven't looked. The only problem I have is the memory, 14 gigs isn't much for storing local music.
That said, the 8X just blows my rooted Thunderbolt out of the water. Best switch I have ever made. Even my wife who loves her iPhone admits this phone is pretty awesome!

Roll with Nokia. HTC has beats but you just get more with Nokia.

Because HTC will charge $200 for that addition of 64GB of memory.
But I culd buy a 64GB SD card for $60

Locked Bootloaders.. The HTCDev Unlock isn't the best one out there.. No Revolutionary.
I am always htc fan, but nowadays, for a flasholic like me, it's a pain in the a** to flash boot.img separately using PC every single time i want to flash a new ROM.
neXus family is my next choice. But not this year, my Sensation seems fine for now.

100$ is too much, if it was 50$ that's acceptable, 100$ is too much considering the price of SD cards.
A bit concerned about the metal case and its effect on call signal strength. If Apple can ****-up with their phone then it's almost a dead-cert for HTC with a new technology.
I think I will wait for the HTC One+ being released in June 2013. For early adopters I believe you will be receiving a "free" rubber glove

GSMarena is having a smartphone Champions League, it beat the Z to reach the quarter finals. Voting ends on Monday. Let's vote for our beloved smartphone. The 1520 earns incredible amounts of votes.
Sent from my C6902 using xda app-developers app
1020 vs galaxy S3 (this years flasgship vs last years that too on a different OS) :silly:
HTC one vs nokia 520 (flagship vs entry model ):silly:
Couldnt they have a best-of in 3 categories, entry, mid range & flagship ?
GO Z1!
I really didn't expect the 1520 to be this popular
I was quite suprised to see 3 Nokias this late in the competition.
lets have a little summary so its easier to follow..
---------- Post added at 09:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 PM ----------
Notable matches
Wow there are ALOT of devoted followers of Nokia.
Apart from in films (and on television programmes) I don't really see any Windows handsets
In India and Pakistan almost everyone goes gaga over Nokia or MediaTek devices.
30% of WP phones sold includes just the. 520,521. 9 out of 40 classmates have it and my mother owns one.
The 1520 will probably beat the Z1 in this popularity contest. But hey, who cares, I love my Z1 nonetheless ^_^

Where's blackberry? :laugh:
What a load of nonsense, the order of all these devices looks pretty rigged to me, to allow certain phones to definitely make it through
this crap doesn't make any sense tbh... why would the Xperia Z (flagship) fight against L (midrange) on the first round or why would the Galaxy S3 4.7 inch fight against galaxy mega 6.3 inch? all not on the same class and why no nokia phone fought against it self, and why fight LG G2 and HTC one on the first round lol

Because the nokia 520 - 720 hardware wise beat android at the price point. They all have proper GPS instead of A-GPS. other than the 720 the others have dual band wifi. A Rs.10k device with dual band wifi (!)
The biggest downside is WP8 app availability, flaky whatsapp and no centralised notifications.
Now the moto g has come out and is a serious contender in the low end stakes. Will have to see at what price its offered.
I don't know how the 1520 scored so high. Ability to save RAW.
Maybe its the battery life. But sizewise its more unwieldy. Great battery comes at a portability premium.
I've yet to to see it in the shops here.
I also find the scores between Z & Z1 curious. I did not think Z1 is compelling enough to upgrade for a Z owner. There is only 6 months between these devices. people balk at upgrading even a year later. eg. S3 owners not interested in going with S4 or Note 2 to Note 3. The biggest improvement with Z1 over Z is video.

There is no good way to do this. You would expect flagships to make it to the second round and not get paired with strong competition so early on like the G2 & note 3 were. I don't know how gsmarena chose the starting matches. Usually they pull names out of a hat. Its a good laugh.
Looks like htc one vs 1020 in the final.
So it's ended up the Nexus 5 vs Lumia 1020 in 1st SF and Lumia 520 vs 1520 :silly:
I suppose that Sony releasing the Z1 was due to the fact the Xperia Z was a bit behind the curve spec wise once the HTC One and S4 were looming.
The Z1 was perfectly timed for me, as the contract on my One X ended in October this year and I fancied a change of manufacturer
I agree that some of those match ups were very silly indeed
I'm pretty sure it'd be random match ups to start the fight..
Like someone said, maybe they pulled names out of a hat.
That's the only way to keep it fair..
It's the way the cookie crumbles ;p

Well done Nokia employees, you managed to get a winner here.
HTC one losing to 520
Ive been testing a lumia 1520 all weekend and have decided not to keep it.
My main reason being the camera, I timed the z1 camera load time against The 1520, and the 1520 was nearly 2 seconds slower to load the camera and take a pic, for a replacement point and shoot this is too slow to warrant me replacing my z1. If the picture quality had been significantly better, it might have swayed me, but manual mode shots were broadly similar.
The screen on the Lumia was also better, but I think I'll Wait and see what the 1020 and z1 successors will bring.

Z1 has better video in low light.
From my experience a lot of Nokia Lumia users have an inferiority complex against their Android/Apple counterparts. They're the most aggressive at insulting other phones which are not WP8 because they feel 'special' using an OS that is thought of as being inferior to iOS and Android. So when it comes to competitions like this where it's WP8 vs Android or Lumia vs Android the fanboys come out in full force and smother the competition and then post comments on how the other phones are sh*t and how WP8 has the most potential. Just look at the comments in the GSMArena page. The Z1 sadly didn't stand a chance.
I'm not saying that every WP8 user's like this, I'm sure those fanboys are in the minority, but I know a lot of people with the 1520 and 1020 and they always try to put down my Z1 even if I didn't say anything, as if they're justifying why they bought the Lumia over my Z1. That's just been my experience though.
Z1 got whitewashed by 20000 points. One got beat neck to neck by 520. Damn....
