font camera with 1.9 is relatively poor for the phone.
I expect to have pen like Galaxy Note but failed as per my view.
Pros:
Hardware, display
Cons:
Very high price (by 8K), poor software upgrade ability by samsung.
I will consider sony xperia S over this.
Pros:
Everything fine
Cons:
Price is too much
Although I am a lover of Samsung appliances yet I think these big companies have gone mad and they are just making a fool of us by selling their new model phones at such expensive rates.I think one can easily get a second hand vehicle at this very cost.
Pros:
Rear Camera, Photos, S- Voice
Cons:
The Back Plastic case.. looks cheap
Good.. but bit over-priced.Feels around the range of 35K would be ideal deal.
Pros:
Good battery Life, Fast CPU, Great Features, Smart Camera, Light Weight
Cons:
Back Cover is not well designed, Lack Galaxy Logo on set
