Old guy Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 On CM11 4.4.2...sooooo smoth Htc one actually lags less than nexus 5 for some strange reason
velu Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Is it monthly stat? Won't it be up when new big phones release? In usa moto x is doing well so I guess it ate through sales of galaxy s4 which is not good device to begin with QoQ mean quarter on quarter :poink: Moto don't have production muscle to meet demand and so does HTC.. HTC one is awesome device but they have problems in supply side.. In android only Samsung makes money and now apple started screwing them in both Japan and China ( deal with DoCoMo n China Mobile ) .. There is not much margin in mid and lower end phones for Samsung..

velu Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Apple is not selling well in india bcoz of its prize or they don't care.. If we get subsidized iPhone like other countries I phones ll eat all other phones .. Even I prefer apple over samsung , and I use to prefer Nokia over samsung a while back :aha: Other than htc one , Sony build quality is also good.. I played with xperia slate abs its quite sleek and smooth

I played with xperia slate abs its quite sleek and smooth Sony will grow a lot and so will lg Android is nothing going anywhere ...they just release flagships earlier in year and apple at end Note 3 did sell well...also apple has not grown much according to reports so maybe they all are reaching saturation point :dontknow:
Sachinism Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Been running 4.4.2 for a month. Very smooth, excellent performance and much improved battery life. Have some issues with sound, odd cracking, though it may be down to a ROM not compiled properly
Old guy Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 If they subsidize the cost of the phones' date=' the monthly bill jump up to around 2.5 - 3K and very few people will pay that kind of money here when unlimited plans are available at 800 - 1000 bucks[/quote'] True but in international market cow of subsidy price of iphone is similar to other flagships But here it's much more expensive for no reason infact it's inferior in many ways

In India I think many people are anti apple And even Samsung is premium they don't go for looks much which is good thing Also now a days there is no reason to get flagship phone from big company when u can get nexus 5 which does everything better than iphone other than speed of camera even quality after update is as good For looks u have some awesome Nokia and htc phones even Sony looks good so I don't think it matters iphone is becoming just another phone here in India I mean just another premium phone

The price difference is too high. Only people who specifically want an apple are buying an iphone. Anyone in the market looking for a high end smartphone and not brand conscious, almost always end up going for Android. The monthly difference is just too high. No one will pay 2.5-3K for two years on an unlimited plan which is available at half the cost for every other operator. Even if you get 20-30% tax benefit, it isnt worth it. For Indian market, price and value for money is very important.
Old guy Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 @ganeshran how do u justify price above 50 k when u can get nexus 5 which is just as good if not better? And it's not even about ecosystem anymore or system stability ...my htc one never crashed once and ipad crashes atleast 2 times every day while browsing :cantstop:
ganeshran Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 ya I agree. My Nexus 4 cost me 16K (bought it from US) and there is hardly anything (except camera) which differentiates it from iphone 5 which costed around 43K before being discontinued. The price differential is not translating into a value addition for iphone users.

For Indian market, price and value for money is very important. not everyone will go for android if price difference narrows .. and even though apple is not as popualr as other brands in india , when they target our market , they will market it for sure ..
ganeshran Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 The problem is that there is an Android available on every price point from 5K to 45K while iPhone has 2-3 models all are overpriced. iPhones are not going to win the numbers game. They can however win the profitability game and attract better developers because apple users tend to buy paid apps much more than android apps where developers have to rely on ads to make money.

Old guy Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I turned off the autocorrect.Ios7 though safari browsing is pain with tab refresh . yes ...i can live iwth refresh cos it loads it very quickly but whenever i am browsing heavy site like the verge i am always worried about safari crashing if i pinch to zoom too quickly which just sucks also there is one crash in settings go to settings clock on wall paper and brightness and clock on it again ..it iwll crash not to mention the lag....any app which loads pictures quickly lags..be it google +,imdb ,youtube or chrome..they need ios 7.1 to fix this cos a it stands now android is much much more stable than ios ..things that i do love is the hardware...apple makes the best hardware and i love pad for 4 by 3 aspect ratio and also it loads pages quicker than anything else and games..they work best on these devices
