The Note while nice, is too big for one handed operation. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theoldjaffa Hypersonic August 8, 2012 Share August 8, 2012 agree, nexus indeed is value for $$. somehow just cant.......overlook the lure of newer phone for nexus, the 3 buttons occupy screen estate, so the viewable screen is actually smaller. for One X, the 3 buttons are touch sensitive ones that's outside of the screen. so you get the full 4.7" of screen estate.

BoneStock 5th Gear August 8, 2012 Share August 8, 2012 My 2 cents. Hope it is helpful screen near than 4.7", which is bang for bucks?....tks price is recontracted price with basic plan SS nexus-----198 This is dual core, so will be slower than the other phones that you have listed. Also its price seems to drop much faster than Samsung S2. SS S3---------498 This will be the top choice for me since I am using S2 now. That aside, Samsung's top of the line models usually command good resale value. I also pick the S3 because of its sleek design. SS note-------418 This is also dual core. Note 2 should be launched soon so you might want to consider that instead. To me, Note is neither here nor there in terms of size. I don't have big hands so Note is too big for me as a phone. But it is too small for a tablet. HTC 1X-------468 HTC's resale price seem to be not as good as Samsungs. Also I prefer S3's design...but that is subjective. HTC's new range of phones don't come with removable batteries. Not sure if they feature a reset button cos I have the habit of removing the batt to reset the phone when it hangs.

Jamesc Hypersonic August 8, 2012 Share August 8, 2012 not really concern about resale value as i am a sentimental guy who keeps old things... Thats what my wife said when asked what kind of man she wanted to marry! I think S3 is the nicest phone here but also the worse for value for money. The Nexus is the best value for money but the S3 is so much more attractive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
