But then the GS IV will be released and Sammy fans can rejoice again.

Well not really the new Nexus is scheduled to come in November. The Galaxy S IV will come in June. So 7 months is quite the long time.

Helloooooo......... Galaxy Note II will AnnihiLate next year (well, at least it will the iPhone 5)!

How funny, PhoneArena claims 'we don't take sides'.
They must've let loose an iTurd when the Awards were announced.

its funny to me how they wont compare the iphone 5 cuz it came out too late but in "reviews" they compared the iphone 5 to the One X and even the nokia 900! "

Yeah, they've even gone as far as comparing the iPhone 5 to the iPhone 4S and iPhone 4. I'm surprised that they've yet to compare the iPhone 5 to the Samsung Gusto (with the all-important 911 shortcut).
You would think that [that] miNi i5 upgrade (of the 4S) were the reiNcArnAtiOn of Our iLord Steve.

It's not PA's fault, it's the Mobile Choice Consumers Award's call that they didn't bring up iPhone 5 to the competition.

The Nexus is no different from S3!!!!!!!!!!!! It's basicly the same phone but in a different shell.

37. Hemlocke posted on 05 Oct 2012, 18:18 2 4

The fact that the camera on the SGS3 was considered second to the 808 shows how much of a farce this show was.

38. Oxygen posted on 05 Oct 2012, 18:53 2 1

you jealous bro?

43. jroc74 posted on 05 Oct 2012, 22:19 1 1

Camera is only one part of the equation, right? How does the camera coming in 2nd to the 808 erase everything else about the GS3?

50. chaoticrazor posted on 06 Oct 2012, 14:06 1 0

exactly, the 808 is basically the best camera phone there is, no one can doubt that

but best phone has to consider everything, it doesn't have to have the best of everything just the best experience and function........if im making any sense

S3 FTW

ALL time? Forward and back?

Also, innovative? Screen size and usability software aren't innovative, just evolutionary and clever. innovation would be if they had some sort of biometric or cyborg device one could attach to themselves so a stylus wouldn't be required, or if both sides of the device were a screen and it retained its thinness and functionality (though excepting presentations, I can't think of a practical application of that on a phone/phablet, though could for a tablet)

53. someones4 posted on 06 Oct 2012, 20:40 1 0

then i sincerely hope that you won't call any iproducts innovative since most of them fits your description.

lol they must be looking at their long iphone 4s and wondering why my phone is not phone of the year. oh guess what it never was.
but no worries with apple maps they can easily get away from reality and be happy thinking that they have the best phone ever made.

17. JunitoNH posted on 05 Oct 2012, 15:03 2 3

Do you know how to read? Or is that a prerequisite to own an Android device. Is clearly says, the iPhone 5 was Not included.

23. Jobes posted on 05 Oct 2012, 15:22 3 0

Aside from benchmarks there is not much of a difference between the 4s and 5.. js lol. I'll give a high five to Apple for overall speed but in the same respect it requires so much less to run iOS as opposed to a very resource hungry OS such as Android. Most of the stuff people were so happy about was included in the bump to iOS6 so most people shouldn't see the need for the upgrade considering. If anything Apple should have released all the new iOS features to the iPhone 4 etc. God forbid they allow "fragmentation" if anything just a ploy to give iPhone 4 users reason to upgrade to the iPhone 5.

31. -box- posted on 05 Oct 2012, 15:56 2 2

IMHO^

Also, how would the GS3 even come close to the 808 PureView? 808 should have walked away with that easily.

33. applesauce posted on 05 Oct 2012, 16:47 0 0

Yeah that wording seemed strange too. What has a better camera, a camera with a phone attached, or a good all-around with a decent camera? Hmm.

41. someones4 posted on 05 Oct 2012, 20:06 0 0

Actually, i thought one x would beat s3. perhaps they looked at the overall package?

24. Jobes posted on 05 Oct 2012, 15:23 3 0

They didn't.. they said it was the greatest iPhone yet ;P just like they always do lol

35. applesauce posted on 05 Oct 2012, 16:51 0 0

Which, as we all know, isn't saying much!

22. Berzerk000 posted on 05 Oct 2012, 15:19 0 0

I don't think there was a best battery category... Shame ): Seriously though, the Razr Maxx should've been included in there somewhere.

18. HowMyDictate posted on 05 Oct 2012, 15:11 0 0

To me they are so close it would just be throwing money away for a slightly better phone IMO.

32. infinitemethod posted on 05 Oct 2012, 16:47 1 0

Man, I was a die hard HTC fan for years. Went from Evo to Galaxy Nexus and it was a world of difference. I did put Jelly Bean on the Nexus about 2 month ago, but I'll never buy an HTC device again. Note 2!

49. CanYouSeeTheLight posted on 06 Oct 2012, 10:10 0 0

You might want to reconsider your last point, the new One line is pretty damn awesome, my stock 4.0.4 One X hits 5900 on quadrant and there are people reporting that with jellybean it hits near 7000 on quadrant, and the overall performance is just awesome.

51. chaoticrazor posted on 06 Oct 2012, 14:11 0 0

agree with you, would of been nice to see the n9 get some recognition as it was the start of that design

the 808, well there is no surprise it won, the camera is miles ahead of any other phone.

54. chaoticrazor posted on 07 Oct 2012, 08:47 0 0

well i think that could be down to the 808 not been so widely known but still find it weird as the 808 is miles ahead
