The Samsung Galaxy S 4 won't be the year's only hot smartphone

Nexus is intend for Mod and hack...... as history show Nexus hardware is not match to all the high end android. Google do that on intensional to keep android partner happy and keep the price low.

If I'm not mistaken the Nexus 4 currently matches the best hardware on the market. Here in the US the Optimus G, Droid DNA and Nexus 4 all have the Snapdragon S4 Pro. I know the Xperia Z does but I don't know if it's available on a US carrier. Until the Snapdragon 600 hits in the S4 and the HTC One the Nexus 4 will be on the top of the hill with the others.

There is seriously something fishy with this poll. I'm refreshing my page every 5 seconds and each time, the Lumia 920 has ~100 more votes. No offense, PA, but I seriously doubt you get traffic of 20 users/second. Fix your polls or don't offer them at all because the one you're using right now is a charade.

Agree
Something is wrong

Dear PA. please don't make yourself stupid
On what universe you think more people are going to buy N920 than GS4? Or even HTC One and Xperia Z..

Can't we just ignore the cults sometime?

Last i checked, Lumia had the most votes if you'll excuse me.

how do u know ?! the lumia 920 has things that's not present in any of s4 ,one or xperia z(each of them has its one unique features as well) not to mention its the most beautiful of them(apple itself reassured that) and its build quality is among the best of them! anyway, i have been checking this poll constantly and the 920 had always the lead so suck it up if u don't like it

if nokia didn't exist
your phone that you own now will probably not exist .

besides , putting a quad core , 1080p screen and high res camera without any innovative technology stuffed with the camera like OIS AND OVER SAMPLING IN A PHONE , TRUST ME THAT'S NOT INNOVATION

Don't know about that but the title "The Samsung Galaxy S 4 won't
be the year's only hot
smartphone" is somehow misleading.
When i first read it, it looks like i'm going to read an article about upcoming smartphones that hasn't been released. Not something that was released 'last year'.

how is it possible to vote 570000 times. it will take 10 years to do so! and if you look at this:http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11049698/poll.png
you see that only about 10000 votes were eliminated and these votes were only those of Lumia and Z. you mean only these two had fake votes?
and again i can't understand how is it possible for a single person to vote more than once while the poll wont let them vote more.

I'm tempted to have the One or the Z. But I also want to have a fresh experience with Lumia 920. I guess I'm the kind of person who wants to steal attention with the kind of phone I have in my palm.

And, yeah, why is G Pro not in the list??!!

Any news on the Moto X line up? I would LOVE a new slider to be announced with that line... but either way I love Motorola and will probably wait for their new phones.

163. jcarrigan posted on 19 Mar 2013, 16:55 0 0

Although i have moved from slider phones it would be rather interesting to see a slider with a 4.5inch screen and a 5 row keyboard to go with it.

Engadget had a similar voting result. Why is it so hard to imagine that the Nokia product must might be more desirable? Not only are there hardcore Nokia fans, there are those who appreciate it as a device, and would also value it as a good alternative to the mainstream. Not only that, there may be a sizeable contingent of the voting public that is either anti-Samsung or anti-android, and would vote for the Nokia as it is likely the most appealing device.

Personally I find the S4 to be rather boring. Cool software and the eye sensor stuff is neat, as is the non-touch actions, but too gimmicky for much practical use. This is Samsung's iphone4s, that is, same as before with a few tweaks to keep it fresh. The eye sensor stuff is neat and fresh and could definitely spread to other OEMs over the coming years, and the gestures are neat but are more practical for a computer ir large tablet than a phone, and adding more cores doesn't impress me unless the actual performance gains in every single activity are realized.
So, how soon until the samesingers and androiders start clamoring for a S5? They're already ravenous for a Note3

We do not manipulate the polls - we only delete the fake votes. For example one person tried to manipulate the results by voting 55 times for one option and 30 times for another option. We have deleted his votes. Another person was more extreme - he added more than 570 000 fake votes, all of which we have deleted.

This is the poll I saw, so in my eyes PA has lost all credibility! Period. People are presumably aware that the Xperia Z sold 140,000 in a few hours in France, is sold out in Japan, Hong Kong, Germany and France. Fake Arena would seem a more appropriate moniker for this site.

12. 14545 posted on 18 Mar 2013, 11:37 2 1

I think all this poll proves, IMVHO, is that typical iphone users are not tech literate. Which is something I believe is already well know. I believe if you asked this poll on CNN or TMZ, you would get a completely different result. And one that is more likely to have the craphone leading. Apple hasn't lost that much momentum, but it is clear the tides are turning. Just not as fast as this poll suggests. All I'm saying is look at the target audience here, or even the comment sections, and you could have already created a unscientific poll based on that with nearly the same results as above.

In my opinion BlackBerry Z10 is not a competitor even for a Samsung Galaxy S III, not talking about Samsung Galaxy S IV.

20. xperiaDROID posted on 18 Mar 2013, 11:50 3 2

At least the Z10 is still a flagship for BlackBerry.

Of course it is BlackBerry's flagship.

66. SlimSoulja86 posted on 18 Mar 2013, 13:16 3 3

Or we can look back. Last year people still claimed not to be interested in Samsung Galaxy S3, yet it sold more than any other android phone. These results only cover a small amount of people visiting Phonearena. The majority of people buying smartphones dont visit this site which are the real target market for Samsung. And one thing i have realized is that, when the word "samsung" pops up, moto, lg, htc, sony and others attack samsung. So this doesnt represent the sales of s4 at all. Lets just all get that right. Cant w8 for iPhone 5S

70. SlimSoulja86 posted on 18 Mar 2013, 13:21 3 4

And even if Samsung moves away from plastic to "premium" materials (which samsung does have on their new s4), we all gonn claim that Samsung copied so and so. In the real world everyone copy everyone. So we all just need to get a life and move on, and just pray our favourite manufacturers tops samsung, instead of us bashing it, cos us bashing it will not make our fones have all the smart features samsung fones has. Useless or not, rather have it than not.
