You better hope the battery doesn't have dimensions smaller than most Android phones, otherwise it's going to have HTC battery life.

well supposedly it's a bit thicker of a phone, that's one way they're able to fit the necessary components in the chasis. Thicker should leave room for a bigger battery.

I think it'll have 2400 minimum, which is good. No less. But yeah, I've said it, whoever comes out with the best battery by a noticeable amount, I'll use my upgrade on em immediately.

Just acquired a Motorola RAZR V with Virgin Mobile (Canada) for $0. Got a free bumper and $50 worth of prepaid credit cards with it. I was planning to buy a Nexus 4 later on next year but fuck it. That deal was too good and all the N4 drama discouraged me from buying one. The biggest inconvenience about the RAZR V is that the internal memory is only 4GB, with less than 2GB available. Since there's a MicroSD slot, I'll buy a 32GB memory card at this upcoming Boxing Day.

I don't disagree, but you have to move at a smooth pace. I look at the retina macbooks and you see how bad their performance is compared to the previous model.

I see it mainly because there was no need for Intel's integrated GPUs to drive such a resolution. If you pair the MacBook with an AMD or Nvidia IGP, you won't have that problem. The pace in display technology has been so smooth, that we use lower resolutions today than what was standard 5 years ago. What a smooth pace.

You wouldn't see me bitch as much about 16:9 displays, if the resolution actually went up.

After a week with my Nexus 4, I will never ever stray from Nexus. So refreshing to have everything actually work in stock Android instead of messing around with ROMs on my S3.

Just from reading the last 3 pages of the ATT S3 CM10 thread on XDA, I'm glad I don't have to deal with the broken data, GPS problems, volume problems, voice call echos, flickering screen, and broken tethering.

Touchwiz wasn't much better. Everytime I got a whatsapp notification when using BeyondPod/AntennaPod/Volks, my podcasts would suddenly switch to the external speaker.

Are there any other 5" 1080p options due soon other than the Chinese Oppo Find 5 and ZTE Nubia Z5?

in the immediate future? don't think so. But in Q1/Q2 of next year you're looking at HTC/Sony/Samsung/LG to all release theirs.

and once again, 5 inches is possible in a smaller form factor than the S3, it all boils down to design of the internals and whatnot.

The Razr V doesn't even use an HD screen does it. Imagine going from that to a screen like the one on the one X. Then it'll make your V look like shit :p

Maybe so. The Razr V screen actually looks pretty good.

Galaxy S2x for free? Didn't saw that deal at the Koodo official website. Then I guess it's a Best Buy deal.

You can accumulate a positive tab? Hopefully it's like that as well with Virgin Mobile. BTW, FutureShop are selling 32GB MicroSD Class 10 cards for $20 through the Boxing Day.

Not sure you could with Virgin but with Koodo you can accumulate up to $150 so in total you can get a $300 phone for $0*.

I know the S2X is old but with how fast the Tab can be payed off I can upgrade every 1.5 years. I'm still jealous of the Nexus 4 I got the gf:-(

I believe you can pay the tab in full if you ever want to. It's like that with Virgin.

I wish Apple would make a 5" phone. They're the only ones that get it. They'll make it so the phone isn't unwieldy.

It'd be 9" long and 2" wide. The iPhone 5 proves they don't "get it"

I still like MIUI alot (best themeing engine) but Go Launcher and Notification Toggle can give me 90% of the good feature I want from MIUI.
