  1. Hello KaW! Welcome to the smartphone wars! This will be a summary of all several flagship phones (11 to be precise) to see, WHO IS THE BEST!

    We begin our trip by checking out the companies who made these phones:

    Apple: One of the most popular phone brands in the world, they exported 74.5 million phones in Q4 2014.

    Samsung: Another large company, running on android they managed to export 95.0 phones in Q4 2014.

    Sony: not known for their phones but more for their TVs and the PS4, they exported 10.1 million phones in Q4 2014.

    ZTE: Not as well known as Sony or Apple, but ZTE managed to reach 11.2 million exports in Q4 2015.

    Xiaomi: I hadn't heard of this one until I was researching, but at 17.1 million exports, it is quietly impressive.

    Alcatel: I personally don't know someone with a Alcatel, but at 23.5 million exports in Q4 2014, it is sneaking up on the big dogs.

    LG: Life's Good they say... Well it is for LG's exports anyway! 20.3 million exports in Q4 2014.

    Huawei: I had a Huawei, it wasn't the best... But it was reliable. Long battery, big memory, robust. That's what Huawei stands for. At 24.7 million exports, it is doing well for itself.

    Lenovo (+Motorola): A large company with a history of making phones, it exported 25.7 million phones in Q4 2014.

    Microsoft Phones (Nokia): A company like Microsoft has to have some exports, and at 50.2 million exports, it is doing considerably well for itself!

    So there are the ten companies! How did they fair in round one (sales in Q4 2014)?

    Samsung - 10 points
    Apple - 9 points
    Nokia - 8 points
    Lenovo - 7 points

  2. Plz dont let Samsung win iv got 5 lol all crap :')
    ... why 5? For my accounts.At least im consistant :)
     
  3. Oh come on! It's agreed Apple may not match the screen resolution as the other phones but you still can't mark it down on that . It still looks great .

    If you continue with comparing Processors and mark harshly on Apple's Cores compared to other Phones with Octa cores and big spec 2.7 ghz processors then I will have to stop reading this. Please do not make the mistake many have done.
    Apple may have just a 1.8ghz dual core chip but because of Its smooth and great OS, everything runs perfectly and better than other smartphones you will compare it with . Each Core in an Apple phone is bloodydamn amazing and it works really well with IOS, compared to some Android phones with high spec but unfortunately high bloatware too.

    It's not my choice I'm using statistics, plus I'm using flagship phones, and a company as big as Samsung is not gonna have a bad phone as their flagship. And you never know, there may be a cost round lol
     
  5. I'll have that update soon. I will also be comparing systems, I don't know much about several of the phones' systems, so I will do a lot of research into that.
     
  6. Got the Sony z5 the screen quality might be over kill for kaw.
     
  7. Oneplus sales are pretty impressive for a newer company and the specs will beat most of these phones surprised you don't have it on here.

    The lg looks nice.
     
  8. Isn't there now a 4K sony phone? Just saying
     
  9. I went for the companies who performed best in the Q4 2014. Also I think it's ZTE, they were founded in 2011
     
  10. Didn't read
     
  11. Yep and kaw is amazing looking in 4k
     
  12. This is funny considering the fact that I switched from an iPhone 5S to a Samsung S5 yesterday :lol:
     
  13. Very interesting.
     
  14. Seems like a fair amount of effort for a forum post. Support?
