Well, you guys are in the minority. Most of the expensive and powerful phone users I know don't really need that much power, why do they buy it? I know you know the answer to that.

Most of the powerful Android smartphone buyers are actually getting the Andriods and not the iPhones or the Windows Phones, solely on specs. Saying things like "The Samsung S4 has 2gb of RAM, why buy the iPhone and its 1gb?!"

Also, ang hirap maging productive kapag smartphone ang gamit, andaming masasayang na oras. Sometimes, people are opting to use their smartphones for work just because it can, and not actually because it's the best efficient option at the moment.

What's the best value quality smartphone these days? Exclude the local and China brand units due to quality issues.

China made but good quality naman, Motorola Moto G IMHO is the best value smartphone. Dual sim pa.

Speaking of smartphone wars: Samsung vs. Apple again

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- An Apple study to determine whether people would buy phones to get certain Apple patented features is similar to asking people to choose a car based on its cup holders, an expert hired by Samsung testified Friday.

David Reibstein, chaired professor of marketing at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business, on Friday refuted Apple expert John Hauser's testimony from earlier this month. Hauser, the Kirin professor of marketing at the MIT Sloan School of Management, conducted a conjoint study that determined Apple's patented features made Samsung's devices more appealing.

However, Reibstein said Hauser's study was flawed because it didn't take into account major factors such as phone brand, it generated data that couldn't be relied upon, and it led to invalid results.

"There were several [factors that drove consumers' phone purchasing decisions]," Reibstein said. "None of them included the ... patented features that are the focal point in this case."

Bale wala ang magandang smartphone kung hindi rin lang naman 24/7 ang internet connectivity.

May magrereklamo pa nga mabilis daw maubos battery... Alangan naka quad core ka at maganda gpu eh hindi naman nag improve pa battery tech mauubos talaga yan

Ako naman enjoy sa HQ viewing and graphics nang games.

Camera is really nice as well as browsing the net.

Yung isang may edad na kasamahan ko dito 1 year na halos yung ip5 nya nung tinignan ko pure stock apps lang laman, nong tinanong ko kung bakit, yun pala hindi niya alam na pwede mag download ng apps, gamitin ang push email, facetime, etc.


Nong tinuruan ko laki ng natipid sa long distance call at tuwang tuwa kasi bukod sa tipid na ay video call pa sya unlimited.

May mga tao na bili ng bili ng mamahalin hindi naman alam gamitin to the fullest ang mga features.

Mas nauna pa nawala ang Nokia brand kaysa Blackberry...

Nokia to become Microsoft Mobile by April 25?

Nokia to become Microsoft Mobile by April 25?
When the acquisition is final, Microsoft’s first order of business might be to kill off the Nokia brand name altogether

MANILA, Philippines — It’s finally happening.

Following delays caused by regulatory agencies in Asia, Microsoft will conclude its acquisition of Nokia’s mobile phone business on Friday, April 25.

In a statement posted on its company blog on Monday, April 21 (Tuesday in Manila), Microsoft announced the completion of the transaction that’s been several months into the making. Microsoft says the deal will, “help Microsoft accelerate innovation and market adoption for Windows Phones.”

When the acquisition is final, Microsoft’s first order of business might be to kill off the Nokia brand name altogether.

In a leaked internal letter supposedly sent by Nokia to its suppliers, the Finnish smartphone manufacturer informed its partners of the upcoming name change, “Upon the close of the transaction between Microsoft and Nokia, the name of Nokia Corporation will change to Microsoft Mobile.”

No official statement has been made confirming or denying the rumored change in name.

Microsoft announced its intention to acquire Nokia’s Devices and Services business in September 2013 for 3.79 billion euros ($5.23 billion) plus an additional 1.65 billion euros ($2.27 billion) for a 10-year non-exclusive license on Nokia’s phone patents.

In Monday’s blog post, Microsoft also announced adjustments to the original agreement. Microsoft will take over Nokia.com and Nokia’s social media accounts for up to a year, and acquire the 21 China-based employees under Nokia’s Chief Technology Office, but will not be acquiring Nokia’s manufacturing plant in South Korea.

Once the world’s leading cellphone manufacturer, Nokia has struggled to stay profitable largely due to the poor showing of its Windows Phone-based Lumia smartphone. The company's biggest challenge has been to remain relevant after the 2007 launch of the original iPhone ushered in a new age of smartphones. – Rappler.com

Samsung may get a bad rep for this...

Samsung confirms fatal camera flaw on 'limited number' of Galaxy S5 smartphones
By Chris Welch on April 25, 2014 12:53 pm Email

The Samsung Galaxy S5's 16-megapixel camera is one of its best assets, but it's also turned into something of a liability for the company just weeks after launch. Complaints across internet forums have documented a major flaw with the camera on some devices — particularly the Verizon Wireless model — that renders the shooter useless.

According to reports, a "camera failure" error has been randomly popping up for some new owners. There's no obvious cause behind the bug, but once the error is received, the camera hardware becomes permanently disabled. Users have taken afflicted S5 phones back to carrier stores and Samsung's own specialty sections at Best Buy in hopes of bringing the camera back to life, but only a physical exchange for a new device has remedied the problem so far.

Samsung has now confirmed that it's aware of the reports and is actively trying to assist impacted customers. In a statement, a company spokesperson told The Verge, "We have learned that a limited number of Galaxy S5 devices may have an issue that causes 'Camera Failure' pop-up error message." S5 owners with a busted camera are asked to call 1-888-987-4357 to arrange an exchange under Samsung's warranty, or they can visit their respective carrier for a swap. Verizon is also doing its part to spread the message, as seen below. The complaints haven't swelled to a crisis quite yet, so you probably shouldn't let the early hiccup sway you away from Samsung's flagship if you were planning to purchase it.

parang mp race lang yan ng canon and nikon. people will buy the higher mp even tho most dont need it. for regular consumers we should've stopped at 10mp, heck i dont even use 10mp for 14in viewing size, kain lang ng space yan.

people buy andriod because ios gets boring after a while and windows hindi pa ganun ka daming support.

i think people have become more productive when smartphones arrived, productive din sa pag post ng pictures sa fb

Boss, try mo yung sixaxis app, sya gamit ko sa ps3 controller ko, wireless connection. Though you need a PC or a USB otg on 1st connection para malaman yung bluetooth address ng controller.

Gamit ko sya sa mga GTA games, GTA detects the controller and supports it natively, no need to configure.
