Guest Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 I have seen it in real and I found it a bit big. it is very slim though screen is stupendous' date=' PenTile matrix, could have been even better without PenTile, half an inch increased from S2. It has HD screen in comparison to S2. S2 has super AMOLED plus though.[/quote'] http://www.moneycontrol.com/news/technology/samsung039s-reason-for-using-pentilesgs-iii-is-longer-lifespan_703997.html
Crookbond Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 Some of the disadvantages are serious. Especially the dependence on itunes. However' date=' people are still awed by the brand value Apple generated at the launch of iPhone. [b']They have created a loyal cosnsumer base called iDiots. You had to take a dig didn't you? :headshake:
rkt.india Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 I phone 4S is costlier than any phone in the market. One has to pay 56K for its 64GB version.
Guest Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 I phone 4S is costlier than any phone in the market. One has to pay 56K for its 64GB version. yep that is one big issue.. even iPad i bought the 16GB wifi thats worth...but 64GB 3G or LTE is expensive
Crookbond Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 I phone 4S is costlier than any phone in the market. One has to pay 56K for its 64GB version. So, you are comparing Samsung Galaxy S3 16 GB with iPhone 4S 64GB and telling that the iPhone 4S is the "costliest" phone?
Guest Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 So' date=' you are comparing Samsung Galaxy S3 16 GB with iPhone 4S 64GB and telling that the iPhone 4S is the "costliest" phone?[/quote'] S3 16gb is cheaper than 4S atleast in India ..but then again it comes to user experoence,ecosysetm,software etc... S3 - 37-39k 4S - 42k +

Mere kehne ka tatparya tha ke increase of GB should not cost as much as they have done in case of iphone.

For you a bigger and better screen may be good but I don't like to have a Flintstone age stone screen in my pocket. Also, you do realize it's not just the memory which makes the price difference right? To each one his own.

It was around 32K and that phone didn't really justify its price. Same with Iphone 4S 64GB, 56K does not justify its price. This is the reason they have to keep the price up every time they launch a new phone. If we go by their trend, I guess Iphone5 will cost 60,000-90,000.

[b']If we go by their trend, I guess Iphone5 will cost 60,000-90,000. dont think so....because of S2/S3 success in India they will alter thier pricing model here..also they still dont have a ecosystem,their biggest selling point, developed in India [Apple store is not fully functioal..they still didnt completed deal with media yet] one more thing is unlike in other countries here the carriers not giving sets in discount tahst the biggest problem..if they able to sell phones below 20k thru carrier contarcts who knows anything can happen
Crookbond Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 It will be unfair to make a "general" opinion on Apple or Samsung based on their prices in India. We all know Apple's products cost higher excise duty as they aren't manufactured here.
Crookbond Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 but 4" will be norm from now on... i guess Note changed all the fear of bigger screens...even small women buying Note now a days The size of the screen will increase but not the size of the phone.
Guest Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 Aspect ratio also a important factor...just increasing height wont help much

Guest Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 Is S3 manufactured in India? I dont know about this. 4S - china S3 - Korea
Crookbond Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 Is S3 manufactured in India? I dont know about this. Apologies. I meant you can't make a generic comment on Apple and Samsung just because of their price in India. You need to do more research on price differences in other countries too.
Rajiv Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 Android experience is actually enhanced by custom roms, it brings out more features and frankly irons out the stuff which doesn't come with the base rom ( Eg: Bluetooth is a big thing for Americas, the new S3 would sync to car stereos which came with the car, but as soon as a call came in, they had to press sync or connect to telephone and you couldn't hear the ringer. There was an outrage on the xda forums, My friend recently bought an Acura MDX and he was pissed coz the previous variants of Android worked fine ) but anyways , Milestone 6 released and that fixed the issue The point is that avg user won't go on the net, read the discussion and then root > download the rom, this is where apple works best as it simply works out of the box. But since Android leaves you more to tinker with, thats where it has many fans such as myself, My cousin was a fan too, but he then got tired of it and went back to iPhone Considering, iPhone didn't even catch up fast, LTE is out for so long, give that to users, give some room to add SD card, after market battery etc.. lets see what the iPhone5 comes up with
DomainK Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 You had to take a dig didn't you? :headshake: Sorry, I just couldn't resist that one. Peace.
