Phone-o-RAMA!


So most of you here who’ve even started reading this have understood from the title that this is a comparative study (not entirely), including my own views on the current phones available to us (Region of South-East Asia). 

I have picked up the highest-end phones available from the top three standing companies in the phone-o-mania standoff. These may not be the top grossing phones in the market, not all of them atleast. 

First of all if you guys are Nokia fans, I’m sorry to disappoint you but I will not be writing about their Windows smart phones. You could ask why? But I’d call you a fucking schmuck for asking me that question, because obviously you haven’t operated the phone for yourself. 

Also sorry to disappoint The Sony fans. The new range of their Xperia phones have recently released and are doing a killer job, but unfortunately Sony is not in the top 3 and I love the phones too much. Their aesthetics and functionality have always been my favourite and hence to avoid bias, I have not entered the range into this competetion.

I’m going to start with the new Samsung Galaxy SIII. This phone released sometime during May 2012. And it has been selling like hot cakes in the market. After being able to use this phone for over an hour and figure out to the maximum possible its ups and downs, I think the biggest UP is that Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen. Samsung has continued its standards with the brilliant screen, because of the Corning Gorilla glass. I don’t want to go into the specs because you could get that out of any website which exist to purely display phone specs. This phone DOES NOT NEED to be over-clocked for any function. You could take pictures simultaneously as you shoot videos, which is the new feature available on the up-coming high end phones. It stands to hold the true meaning of the next generation smart phone.  The only thing I dint like about the phone was its curved looks, and the way the camera has one very cheap finish. Here, I am not saying anything against the camera quality. Also, this phone not recommended for people with small hands.

Overall

  • Functionality: 9/10
  • Aesthetics: 5/10
  • Price for features: 6.5/10
  • Camera: 9/10
  • Battery life: 6/10

Now I move to the next big-hand phone in the market. The HTC One X. This 4.7 inch Super capacitive touch screen phone was the first to release with the quad-core tech for our Indian population to enjoy. I personally loved this phone the moment I set my eyes on it. And I was very lucky that someone at home had purchased the same the day after release. But after using it for a while, it got slow. Very very slow. The phone DOES NOT last without heating the fuck up! It’s almost annoying that you’re on the phone for more than 20 minutes and your ears and hands are heating up. I gave the phone that we purchased the benefit of doubt and assumed to it to be a bad piece which was bought out of some ill luck. Soon the phone faced so many problems, that it actually got replaced, obviously with another HTC One X which gave me heart again. The phone continued to face the heating problems. Recently on many tech forums I have been reading that HTC is rolling out a software update with Android’s ICS, which will cut down on its overheating and poor battery life. This phone though, is an extremely well structured and sleek phone. It has a very straight and crisp look to it. The camera is of outstanding quality and was the first to come out with function of taking pictures as you shoot a video concept. Its sound quality and volume are very low and does injustice to the name ‘Beats Audio’.

Overall

  • Functionality: 7/10
  • Aesthetics: 8/10
  • Price for features: 8/10
  • Camera: 9/10
  • Battery life: 4/10

I’ve been seriously writing this shit for a while. Now for a little phone rape time. 

THE iPhone IS SHIT!!!!!! LIKE COMPLETE FUCKING SHIT. THERE IS NOTHING GOOD ABOUT THE FUCKING PHONE. APPS, RETINA DISPLAY AND A HALF EATEN APPLE ON THE BACKSIDE IS ALL YOU FUCKING DICK SUCKING FAN BOYS GOT!!!

I’m not going to go into any details related to this phone. Though, thanks to Maddox who is my courtesy for the image below, I’m just going to make people see this phone for the real shit it is. When the Iphone first came out and CEO, Steve Jobs had to announce the release. He said – The phone is an ipod, a phone and “AN INTERNET COMMUNICATION DEVICE”. 3 devices in one!! Holy fucking shit. I think my nerves are cracking. 

Well be it back then or today, almost every phone was/is an mp3 player (iPod), a phone (a phone), and has a mother-fucking browser (INTERNET COMMUNICATION DEVICE).


I cannot hate the phone. Its got all the features you’d want in any phone. But the way that people rave about it, the fan boys having secret handshakes and high fiving each other all the time because they’ve got iPhones, make me want to shit, spit and puke all over them. The only valid reason I can ever tolerate from a person who tells me they own an iPhone, is if they got it for free. Otherwise they must know, they’ll walk home with a broken nose and a punctured ball sac (which I would manage with a pen).


iPhone 4s Overall


  • Functionality: 7/10
  • Aesthetics: 8/10
  • Price for features: 0/10                                               
  • Camera: 7/10
  • Battery life: 6/10 
Honestly. So there you go folks. Some heart felt appreciation and some disastrous damage.
