If, Samsung can shift 60 million smartphones then I can't see any reason why they might have a problem selling 100 million.

And I think every media entities have their own side. So we can't expect that other websites is different from GSM ARENA.

It just happened that this website is constantly updating news related to gadgets. That's why this site became a favorite past time for geeks.

As myself I don't care what website it is as long as I find the news interesting to talk to so I joined the forum.

As a matter of fact, the toughest flagship, the Lumia 920 is also plastic, so Sammy just needs to drop the shiny paint and adopt a slightly thicker, unibody design, otherwise the S4 is good the conquer the world.

If only Samsung could deliver the best, stronger and elegant body build of its smartphone, then other Android OEMs and Apple would be thrown out of the dust. The end story of iPhones and Apple may just be a part of history in smartphone segment.

In my point of view, many people from the middle to elite class is always having a second thought of getting a Samsung smartphone because of its build quality. To be honest it has the poorest and cheapest body quality compared to other smartphone.

So I wish Samsung has to rectify this aspect. Because Samsung really already ahead in the processing power, battery life and feature segments that other OEMs are still trying to catch up.

Samsung has a good reputation of only a smartphone manufacturer that willingly throw out most advanced features such as direct call, multi view and pop up play. The only OEM that keeps the most up-to-date update of current android OS and throws the (most) fastest processor in smartphone segment.

But Samsung mobile falls short in delivering the best quality of material of its body build. My preference of a strong and good quality casing point out to toughened glass or stainless steel or aluminum

I just wish the S4 would come out with a solid body finish with strong material made of toughened glass, stainless steel or aluminum.

If the casing is really strong build quality and elegant as iPhones, end of story and Apple would be just a history.

That's the best recipe of Apple it has in its iPhones that's why it never slow down its sales because people in elite and middle class is looking for a things or gadget with good inside and outside attributes.

> In reply to Note 3 @ 2013-02-16 09:11 from Bqvk - click to readI agree with you, the only possibilities for such phones to "lag" would be :

-some crap carrier rom
-some test phone always on like in a phone shop (never updated and prolly some early sample)
-some crap phone from a friend who would be installing bloatware
-some defective screen
-and finally, the modified behavior of touchscreen due to last Apple's class action, if ppl remember, Samsung had to modify the way fingers are registered by the screen for some actions like scrolling (not only bouncing back effect..).

And to finish, anyway, every good nerd knows that Apple doesn't support everything on webpages (starting by flash and so on), hence the billion of apps replacing web, and so Apple phones may often get special optimizations...

It has way fewer restrictions and sideloads content (files, music, apps, video) easily. And with an additional 64GB microSD, you have have an even bigger storage space

Nokia lumia has allot of apps, and right now has more the 150000. Which, i can say is more then enough. Second, an app doesn't make a smartphone, quite at all. I reather have a great smartphone with less apps then a crap with milion useles apps. I think you don't understand the meaning of a good device. You test them all and found samdung being the best?:)). Yeah, right... Tell this to some kids.

Don't know whether the one you used has carrier issues, but my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 LTE is perfect. No lag. Zip. Nada.

Sorry dude to disappoint.

I guess the Jelly Bean 4.1.2 must be just too awesome.
