[CNET]Forget iPhone purple haze, now there's the green glow - Page 4

post #31 of 115
For a fraction of a second, big deal?

Iphone 5 feels like a toy because it's too thin and light? Galaxy is thin and light too, plus it is plastic. Iphone 5 have a better aestethics, build quality could have been better if their anodizing process is not a crap.

Don't get me wrong i love my galaxy s3 than an iphone 5, i just hate it when people tell lies just to feel better about theirs.

And having a removable battery doesn't make it more powerful, having an extended battery however does. Yes i hate how thin and slippery the galaxy s3 is, thats why i bought an extended battery, now its so much easier to hold.

Same glitches as other phones? Please rolleyes.gif

For the price of it and what is regarded and poised to be the best phone on the planet anything less then perfect is unacceptable.

all phones have problems,
iphone has none because all of the 10+ reported major issues are the users fault(do not take picture directly/indirectly of the sun, do not touch screen, do not wake phone, phone came out scratched? your fault for bad luck..etc)

The Galaxy line up have a similar RRP at launch. People jump up and down about the price yet stand by the Galaxy brand like it's value for money. The launch price of the S3 16GB was £475 IIRC...the iPhone is only £530.

Logic, it is not present.

Yes it was the same price but..

Did it sratch and come marked from the factory? Nope
Did its pictures have a purple haze? Nope
Did the screen has flickering problems? Nope
Did the screen bubble? Nope
Did it have unfinished software? ( maps ) Nope
Did it have wi-fi isues? Nope

I could go on... as far as I'm aware the GS3 had a faultless launch.

And for the record GS3 with 64Gb SD card was £510, how much is the 64Gb iPhone 5 again? rolleyes.gif

But yes you are correct, logic is definitely not present.

I'm comparing a 16GB model to a 16GB model...the logic IS present.

Beat around the bush all you want, yes it has problems, just like many Android phones before it have had problems.

Just because something is high end, does not mean to say it is not susceptible to the same failures that other hardware is prone to. These things happen, it is not exclusive to Apple and Android phones certainly are not immune.

How pathetic.

I don't understand how that can be defined as a genuine problem.
