I have an HTC Legend running Android and might switch to Windows Phone when it expires . . . but no option for that :(. I have looked at the iPhone 4 but I have a lot of investment in Windows on my other devices, it would be interesting to standardise particularly with Windows 8 on the horizon.

I'm gonna go with Nexus Prime. 4.65" SuperAMOLED curved display with Gorilla glass, dual core 1.5Ghz next gen CPU, 1280x720 HD resolution with 320ppi pixel density and 1.5gb of ram and 1080p 60fps recording, 4G LTE etc. iPhone 4S is more of a new iPhone owner recommendation than the existing iPhone 4 one but considering what's coming in Android land, 4S is already obsolete.

Didn't you just make a post like 3 days ago about how you thought it was ridiculous that users were considering the next iPhone before its been announced and how people shouldn't base their buying decisions on leaks and rumours. The Nexus Prime has not even been announced yet it's just leaks and you have already decided to buy it?

Bit of a hypocrite aren't you?

I hope those Prime specs are true because that is way better than the iPhone 4S.

I'm not a hypocrite.. SuperAMOLED HD display is confirmed and this is what I care about. Even If it has everything the same as my Galaxy S2 but with 1280x720 HD I would buy it.. So yeah..in addition the curved Gorilla display is also shown. This is what I care about. New design and gorgeous display. The rest will be almost certainly better than I have now but it's fine if it's the same.

Just based on leaks and rumours though Boz, the same kind of things people knew about the iPhone. We knew it would be better than the current iPhone we knew it would have a better camera we knew it would have the voice assistant and the A5 processor. Just like you are trying to explain your want by that you know it will have that bigger display.

Your original argument was people should not just base their buying decisions on leaks and rumours. That is what you've done and now that I've pointed it out maybe you'll be less of a hypocrite in future. Although I doubt it.

They are not rumors.. it's confirmed that it will be 1280x720 4.6" curved Gorilla display dubbed SuperAMOLED HD (3 months ago). Whatever goes as a CPU be it quad core or dual core 1.5ghz which is speculation at this point is fine with me. I don't care about that. Since I already know the quality of SuperAMOLED display it's a safe buy for me. I know I'm getting exactly what I want.

There was ZERO information about iPhone but what someone speculated which they were almost 100% wrong about. There was no pictures, nothing confirmed. There's a huge difference between buying into speculation you know absolutely nothing and nobody has seen it.

And Samsung's video is showing the display and the phone even as a glimpse of curved glass.

Show me the website where Samsung confirms the screen size in written text.

And there were leaked images of the iPhone 4S, its camera assembly, circuit board, A5 processor equipped to the logic board. Many of the specs of the iPhone 4S were known before the release. The only thing we didn't know about was the iPhone 5. No images of the phone only mock ups. The iPhone 4S however was concrete.

I understand your difficulty in admitting your a hypocrite. No one likes being called out. Also if you didn't care about those other specs, why list them :)

Eh? It's been confirmed my media who talked to Samsung. Not every confirmation has to be posted by Samsung.

You really have trouble realizing the difference between Apple's complete silence and zero information about the upcoming products and decision to purchase a product not based on features but just because it's a new iPhone and information about other products that have been confirmed or companies manufacturing talk to the media?

Unlike Apple Samsung talks to the media and reveals/confirms information coming out. The SuperAMOLED HD display has been confirmed 3 months ago. This is nothing new and I buy a product based on that. If for some reason or Samsung lying to others it comes out without it I won't buy it. What's so problematic for you to understand?

Compared to people who want to buy iPhone they will buy no matter what turd comes out of Apple and this is mostly because they have no other choice and second because it's a brand thing it has nothing to do with specs.

Btw, I listed specs for Nexus Prime because they sound impressive whether or not they will be like that is another story and the decision shouldn't be "I'm getting it" without knowing things that you are interested if you are buying a phone. In my case the primary interest is in the new display and curved design. Thats' why I want it and I'm 100% sure that's what it will be. Other things are less relevant to me, so I base by decision on the tangible evidence not what some bloggers "imagine" it might have.

And no, you didn't know sh*t about iPhone until yesterday.. everything was hear-say by bloggers and the only conclusion about the screen size and the phone was based on ridiculous cases from China.

    • First time clicking on a Sayan Sen article after he started making clickbait, vague headlines recently. Didn't read, just came here to say the headline doesn't look like very cheap, vague clickbait this time. Are you okay?
    • Good review, and yeah the benchmark breakdown is pretty clear but also a little messy in a good way. It’s kinda interesting to see where the RX 9070 GRE slides in between the 7800 XT and the 9070 XT , especially when it comes to AI tasks and Blender style workloads. The side by side with Nvidia’s RTX 5070 and 4070 makes it feel obvious just how competitive the mid range GPU scene has gotten lately, and that’s great for creators and gamers too since you can pick based on your priorities rather than only chasing one single thing.
    • That's it. I finally uninstalled Firefox because they often keep pushing buggy updates, only to test them later and make users suffer. No longer is it my alternative browser to Edge. What a waste of energy. Firefox is bad for the environment, just like Chrome (wasting RAM/energy).
    • Microsoft Weekly: new Surface, Windows 11 26H2, and more by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft announcing Windows 11 version 26H2, launching new Surface devices powered by Snapdragon X2 processors, GTA VI preorder date and cover art, fresh Windows 11 preview builds, a quirky phone-sized e-reader with a physical dial, and more.

And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. Windows 11 version 26H2 is now official. Alongside Windows 11's new preview builds released this week, Microsoft confirmed version 26H2, which is coming later this year as an enablement package based on the same platform as versions 24H2 and 25H2. A newly published blog post details what IT admins should do to prepare for the upcoming launch. Next, we have new Windows 11 bugs. Users report that this month's security updates for Windows 11 cause all sorts of issues, including BitLocker bugs, OneDrive issues, black screens of death, and third-party integration in Office apps. Microsoft has not confirmed those yet, but it acknowledged other issues with its operating system. What Microsoft has confirmed is a bug where Recycle Bin delete prompts display internal file names instead of actual ones, and a year-old Windows JScript compatibility bug caused by security-focused engine changes. Moving to more positive news, Microsoft and Adobe are working on improving Windows performance in popular creative apps like Photoshop. Thanks to SPGO optimizations, users can expect up to 20% better performance. Finally, we have a few useful articles that can help you recover your PC or make it perform better. For one, we published a guide detailing what to do if your computer cannot boot after a clean Windows 11 install. There are two important steps you can try to get your system back to working in no time. Additionally, there is a more detailed guide on various CPU performance modes that could notably improve performance.

Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. This week, Microsoft announced its newest Surface devices powered by Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon X2 processors. There is the 12th-gen Surface Pro and the 8th-gen Surface Laptop. Both devices feature little to no visual differences compared to their predecessors from 2024, and most changes hide inside, including a better processor, faster graphics, enhanced NPUs, and more. The Surface Laptop also received a new haptic trackpad. Mozilla is currently working on a major Firefox redesign, and earlier this week, it published a roadmap of upcoming features and highlights of the upcoming "Project Nova" rework. Files, one of the best file managers for Windows 10 and 11, has been updated in the Preview channel with a long-requested feature. Tree View is finally available in version 4.1.4, allowing you to quickly browse deeply nested folders without leaving the main view. In addition, the update improved the Windows Fonts folder, allowing you to preview each font without opening the default viewer. Rufus, another useful Windows 11 utility, also received a notable update. Version 4.15 arrived as beta with important fixes for silent Windows 11 installation. It also includes patches for ARM-based Windows PCs, OneDrive removal improvements, and more.

Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week Earlier this week, we reviewed the DuRoBo Krono, a portable, phone-sized e-reader with some interesting physical controls. This device has an Apple Watch-like dial for page turning, frontlight adjustment, and more. Software is simple and no-nonsense, but it also lacks some useful features and customization. Overall, the device proved interesting, but not flawless. On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. Forza Horizon 6 received two big updates this week. Alongside the Series 2 content update, developers pushed plenty of bug fixes and balancing tweaks. However, they also had to acknowledge the Eliminator CR-farming exploit and shut down the online mode temporarily. Luckily, only a few days later, another fix arrived, which re-enabled Eliminator and patched the exploit. Microsoft announced new games for Game Pass subscribers. Those include EA Sports FC 26, Junkster, Call of Duty: Vanguard, Abyssus, RV There Yet?, and more. Some existing games are leaving the catalog, so be sure to check out the full list here.
