iPhone4, meet the 'LG B' Android Smartphone (Thinner than iP4)

LMAO...that phone is NOT...i repeat NOT thinner than the iPhone 4!

You would have to be on crack to think it was.

The photographer took the pictures with the phones at an angle.

Like the 3GS, the LG B has a rounded back so the phone being at an angle allows for a thinner "appearance" while the iphone 4 is squared off at the edges.

What a lame/fail post.

let a 'nerd' straighten you out here. the iP4 is based off the ARM chip, as well as almost every high end smartphone out there. so you're indirectly calling the iP4 hardware crummy.

secondly, i never knew jailbreaking your phone could give you perfect integrated notification system across the entire UI. thats news to me.

finally, the iP4 may be the best selling phone out there, but its definitely not the most powerful in terms of hardware. i'm not saying the iP4 is slow by any means, but its a fact that its not the most powerful.

Where did you pull that out from? Just because 2 phones use the same processor doesn't mean they are the same in terms of hardware. The guy was talking about other hardware specs aswhile, retina display, RAM. Your comparing two phones (or computers) based on proccessors alone. ARM is just the base, even so phones have to optimized or they'll turn out like a piece of s*** like some phones are. Your just a fanboy. Yes iP4 is not the most powerful, but I would say it goes to the top on saying its one of the best phones with great software that actually maximizes its usability over phones with crappy software. Not saying there aren't android phones that beat iP4 but lets admit with all the different manufacturers, some of them just manufacture crap.

just because i state that the iP4 isn't the most powerful, doesn't mean that one should get easily offended. I'm fully aware that specifications does not embody the full 'smartphone experience.' The user was implying that all android device hardware is crap. I was merely letting him know that almost all smartphones share the same base chipset, which in this case, is ARM.

And no, fanboy I am not. I'm a gadget fanboy. I hold no allegiance to any one company. I hold allegiance to whoever makes the best product, regardless of brand.
 
Without getting into the entire 'spec war' controversy, an important component in the evaluation of a particular platform for the average consumer is how a product 'just works'- in other words, the average users overall experience. This is often difficult to quantify.
For me, the overall experience using the iPhone is better than what I've experienced using other phones. It's just that simple.
And like others here have said, I'm not a fan of any one particular company- I'll buy a product that OVERALL works best for me.
That doesn't mean being a fan for the sake of fandom. Nor does it mean being a critic just to complain. There are limitations with the IOS platform that drive me nuts! But overall, it serves my needs better than other phones I've used or looked at.
 
I've owned both Apple and Android phones.

The Apple is sturdier with a shorter learning curve and of course the ability to sync with other Apple devices and programs .

I would not make the mistake of dismissing Android phones as inferior. Their phones are very nice and offer a change of pace.

Apple might be ahead right now but the gap is narrowing.

Why do people care if a phone has a dual core?

Are you really planning to run photoshop or Crysis on your phone or something?

Don't get me wrong, I'll take it if it's there. But I won't trade battery life and money for it.

The most intensive app I've seen on the 4 is Infinity Edge, and it runs perfect on it. Not sure what a quad core is going to do for me there, other then ruin battery life.

From what I understand is dual core mobile processors use far less battery than those on the market today, giving you greater performance and a much longer usage time. Some editorial I read said we should start seeing battery times measured in days instead of hours thanks in large part to these new processors. Something about the fact the voltage level is far lower thanks to two cores splitting the job.

And you know what? 3.5" is great. Anything bigger feels too big.

Unfortunately, that's not what she said...




But seriously, I agree. Why have a larger screen with a lower resolution. All you're doing is pointing out the low quality image. 3.5" is all the iPhone needs and yet I can still read the smallest text clearly.

A lot of these android phones need large screens so you can zoom in to read anything.
 
I question if its really thinner than the iPhone4. If it is thinner, why didn't the guy put the phone down flat, instead he covers it up with his palm.
 
At a certain point, I don't care if it is thinner. While I am all for better phones than the iphone, the iphone seems thin enough as it is so that marketing doesn't really work for me lol

If im not mistaken when he meant hardware he was talking about the body of the phone not the chipset.
The android phones are a little too big and the body is def not up to par with the iphone.
imo 3.7 inch screen would be ideal.
 
Neato. A phone that is BIGGER than the iPhone 4 in surface area is also THINNER. Who would have ever guessed! :rolleyes:

Dual core is actually better for battery life.

Yet a significant amount of the latest Google news posted in the iPhone forum seems to originate from you and/or JD914

1) Apple never cared about whose processor was faster, or whose display was bigger. Apple's strategy is to make the best user experience out there, and it plainly has.
2) Hardware means the stuff that you can touch. That means that all that high quality, premium glass and aluminum is hardware, and the extremely high resolution retina display is hardware, and everything tangible down to the buttons is hardware. If you ask me, the weight and quality of the iPhone has always been more attractive to me.
3) While I don't jailbreak myself (I have no problem with the current notifications system, just something I've learned to live with) jailbreaking is possible and is therefore opening up the iOS platform.
