Ok. Now you think... Here we go again.
But truly ! I havnt (still) tried a faster more accurate smartphone.
Yesterday a friend bought a new Sony xperia S, sure it looked nice and everything but MAN did it run slower rhen 4S, Now i talking about everything such as gpu speed, web browsing, texting, photos and so on.
The same as with Samsung galaxy...... Its so much slower. Its such a big different so its nearly silly.
Just wondering when it comes a smartphone who really kicks 4S nuts

Why every phone that you own is the best?

Ps. I find my GS2 on Android4.0.4 runs just as fast as a iPhone4S.
Saying the iPhone is the best smartphone in the world is a subjective matter, not everyone wants it or likes it and it does not suit everyone's needs.

here we go again with a OTT Apple fan, seriously if you think the I phone 4s is the best smartphone I think you need your head checked

It's the best for what you need it to be. Our perception make us attached and responsive to material elements that serve us as companions like smartphones. The Iphone 4S is a great phone, but I still use the 'old' and 'laggy' Nokia 5800 and it's the best FOR ME, cheers to everyone who won't just start a flame war

A Samsung Galaxy S2 running a Resurrection Remix v 2.6.1 ICS custom rom kicks your 4s in the chops.
A Samsung Galaxy S2 with stock......they are about even

Old plankis tend to form a very strong bond with his phones. Last time I was visiting this site daily, he was going on and on and on about his C902. I do recall that he had a very low opinion of smartphones in those days. But with time, everyone mature and become wiser...
Having said that, IMHO, the iPhone 4S is not the best phone FOR MY NEEDS. I used to be an iPhone owner. Today MY OWN favorite is the SGS3.
Posted by skblakee
If one was to consider the things which an iPhone does not do it is amazing that it isn't the fastest phone of all. It does not have flash player, the SGS2 does and runs really fast. The iPhone freezes apps and the galaxy and other androids don't yet they run fast.
The iPhone certainly isn't the best or fastest especially when you realize how much Apple leaves out of it in order to get it to running smooth. Give me my SGS2 running twelve apps any day.

Some would even argue how much of a smartphone it actually is.

Ive never once embraced any iPhone or iPad as a true smartphone. Not in the old sense of the word anyway.
Today the term smartphone means something different to the masses, who strangely enough own iPhones.
Posted by Tsepz_GP
I've never been able to take the iPhone seriously as a smartphone, i still see it as a glorified feature phone much like the SE Aino and Samsung Jet
Even compared to those its missing a lot, i have watched many ex Nokia Nseries/Eseries, and ex BB users have to deal with the downgrade in functionality, many of them are waiting for the day Apple bring e.g. BT file transfer and USB Mass storage, there is just no way of sharing files between their other devices and iOS devices without having to use the internet, thats why Apple are going to struggle in developing countries and begin to stagnate.
An arguement to that would be "So what? Apple are taking 77% of profits ANYWAY!" BUT with a company like Samsung and its ever growing brand awareness and market share domination, it will get to a point where the scale will tip to Samsung's advantage it may not happen now, but in the next 2-4years it will, im sure Apple have realised that and its one of the main reasons why they are trying so hard to punish Samsung with litigation.

When it comes to apps, iOS's got it. The developers tend to like Apple's "closed" approach with iOS since there's less headaches to deal when developing/porting apps to the platform than it is with Android and its variants. iOS also tend to get the newest games first before android does, and in the case of android the Xperias (especially the "aged" Play) are the first priority. and what's worse some of the ported games have more issues running in android than it was with iOS. I really think google should develop a unified framework(at least for gaming) that's hardware independent to prevent incompatibility issues between different hardware. it was what android was supposed to be, but after google announced that android will support native code, it worsened the fragmentation. That's explains why I'm personally excited about PSMobile as it's the ray of hope for the android to regain its name as a platform for game developers.
but as a smartphone Android and Symbian are more powerful and more functional than iOS. Even the old Windows Mobile can do more tricks. I just hate what's happening in the market right now. even the Windows 8 itself is more restricted than ever, and as a poweruser I don't like it so I'm sticking with Windows 7.
So with that I conclude two simple fact:
* Restricted platform(iOS, Windows Phone) - developer friendly, (power)user's enemy
* Open platform(Android, Symbian, Windows Mobile) - (power)user friendly, developer's enemy
if you guys fall in either the two, you'll understand what that mean

I agree with the highlighted part...
I guess he hasn't bothered opening the Play Store app on his phone.. If he would care to look for podcast apps, he would find billions and billions of them - or at least a dozen
Google just withdrew their own Listen app. It was simply but functional. The only drawback with it was that it didn't maintain the order of the podcasts. Now I'm using a paid one called DoggCatcher. Very good and without the above Listen problem. But I miss Listen's feature of maintaining its podcast list in my Google Reader feeds.

MegaBass was nothing amazing, as i remember it in my W800/900/880 and in the W850 it was just a whole lot of bass and nothing else, while SE were doing that, Samsung had made a partnership with Bang & Olufsen to create the best sounding phone, and they were also fitting their phones and smartphones with great audio chips with DNSe tech.
Later comer?
anything but.

Agree, I leave my EQ flat and just get better earphones.
Most people don't know that Ericsson celfones used to have B&O speakers.
The Samsung B&O phone (that weird looking one with the slide out bass port) really was the best sounding mobile phone... unfortunately if was HUGE, and was phased out before it even hit the market (with a few units floating around)
I think Samsung should partner up with more design firms if they wanna beef up their top end products. Or supply Lumigon with decent spec'd components

Sorry but I have to disagree with a LOT of points.
Windows 6.1/6.5/CE was NOT nearly as more powerful as iOS. They where ALL created on a very limited platform with registry hacks & some apps to give what the core system required.
No WLAN hosting to 3G stack
No proper 3G stack - manufacturers had to create their own which SLOWED updates; recall HTC's reign?!
No proper application guidelines that caused major crashes.
Lots of issues - Motorola Qm/c could not do simple Copy & Paste, yet Samsung implemented this on their own with a competing qwerty device.
Android is this decades Symbian. I don't see any difference in the platforms other than the hardware introduced:
Java, Ruby, Python support with many applications with low level support.
iOS works very similar to a micro-kernel with regards to networking. Apple was not screwing around when they purpased Next - and Next wasn't screwing around doing things that Apple/Jobs missed with Xerox Parc visit. Let the system manage network connections, create universal API's that applications can use without having to rewrite the apps!!
The SPEED of which developers can create powerful yet simplistic applications, along with GAMES is ASTOUNDING! and RECORD BREAKING! No other platform has an SDK that can match! A button is a button, a text box is a text box, etc etc - its all universal, why should the developer NEED to right code to make this crap? They just need to see the box and tweak existing code.
Don't kid yourself that because iOS is a closed-ended system that its less powerful than Windows/Symbian/Android. Slow moves with profound changes that do NOT break. ICS slow slow update ... drivers, chipset support, providers, application compatibility, etc.

Iphone is not triyng to be a smartphone. Sure it does well the things it can do but its capabilities are very limited. As a smartphone, it's not as smart as high end android phones. Ios on Galaxy S2 would operate much faster but it'd kill the smartness of s2. An s2 with Jelly Bean installed will be as fast as 4s. Now think about s3.

I was referring to all spectrums of tech not just phones, if you remember Sony introduced the walkman player and it was a mega first with Mega Bass. Mega bass was a huge bit of tech, especially from playing from cassettes. So to introduce this tech was a major thing back in the day. Although I agree I remember that Samsung phone that just looked a bit weird but it was bloody different which was awesome for phone designers, how them days of creativity with phones are gone, the boring slab look is all we see now. I do think Sony has the best looking phones at the moment with its NXT series, setting themselves away from the rest of the pack but just need more oopmh!
was it this one was the Samsung b/o phone? Serene?

It's was the best for me, I don't know about
iPhone 5 as I've not had one of those, ask me
At the end if the year when I've got a new phone though
