Actually it's super amoled hd not plus. Which probably means it's a pentile matrix display.

And we all know how good they are.
 
I have yet to damage my 16 month old iPhone 4 ;) I also haven't had the need to change the battery. It lasts considerably longer than any Android phone.

I havent changed mine either but i do have two i can use if i have no charger available and they cost me $3.27 each. I can also get a bigger battery for it if i want to. Just nice to have choices that dont cost me and have to ship it away someplace.

Actually, it's more like:

But, but, but...there are supposedly no buttons to take up room, and the screen will probably be edge to edge or a smaller bezel around the screen. So, it may not be as big as the fanboys say it will be.

AND...it's HD!

AND...the pixel density is pretty much the same as the iPhone 4S'!

AND...it's Super AMOLED Plus!


But but, all you fanboys drool when you get something new but when it is another device getting HD, it isnt that big a deal.....til YOU GET IT....lol. All i saw was posters wanting a 4" screen and now that they dont get it, the 3.5" screen is suddenly the perfect size :rolleyes:

Gotta love the fanboys.
 
Sorry, I missed that memo. How good are they compared to the iPhone?

Pentile matrix displays aren't very good at all, google will fill you in ;)

The iPhone 4 battery is very easy to replace.

Haha...I guess you couldn't tell but I was actually arguing for the Nexus Prime. I think the screen quality will at least rival that of the 4S if not surpass it.

Far from a fanboy here..
 
I've dropped my iPhone 4 many times. The glass never shattered and my battery never fell out.
Doesn't mean jack, my friend. The glass on iphone 4 can shatter like a cheap chinese plastic mcdonalds happy meal toy if you drop it from your desk. Numerous people have experience this type of problem.
 
PC World seems to think it can shatter easily...

"...got their hands on what they say are original Apple iPhone 4 parts (without the circuit board) and did some drop tests..."

Can you link me to a more scientifically valid test?

I'm not saying the glass is shatter-proof, but I know it has withstood numerous drops ranging from 3-5 feet on various hard surfaces including concrete.

droid phones are made out of the cheap chinese plactic and look like a toy from mcdonalds

:apple:
 
You are right, instead it looks like a phone made out of cheap glass that breaks into million pieces if you drop it or bump it.

yes some have been broken. so I guess a plastic droid has never ever been dropped of broken. doubtful, you don't hear about because nobody cares.:eek:

You rarely hear about it because it doesn't shatter like iphone 4.

DERP?

:rolleyes:

iphone 4 cheap glass + made in china = disaster waiting to happen

the % of iPhones that have been broken to the % of iPhones sold is miniscule.

droid = cheap plastic = toy like phone = crap:eek:

you know i'm right

I wrote about this.

“Comparing individual specs between smartphones is like opening up the hood of a Ford Mustang and the hood of a BMW M3 and pointing out why one is better than the other based on its innards.“

If you have a moment give it a read :)
