The Wolfy among us Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) I am talking as a collective, of all SAMSUNG devices (Galaxy Ace, Galaxy Y series, Galaxy S Advance). Most devices are still smooth finish glossy plastics. SIII is piano-plastic back. =| ^^ Still I spoke about the home button being a bad aspect, never liked the feel of that on the SAMSUNG devices. Everyone has moved onto capacitive buttons, feather-touch systems. And a matte finish is much better from rigidity poin of view as well because of the increased grip it has, so less chances of an accidental drop. So what if it has a piano finish for Christ's sakes! Do you own an S3, or is your usage only the random feel up of demo devices at Samsung's stores? Edited January 9, 2013 by Okami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sackboy Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Actually I like the home button, adds a lot of character to its looks. Also it is not finger print prone but very prone to scratching, but then iphone has two glass surfaces, though I'll admit Samsung could have done a better job in the build quality, its by no means bad or cheap. You don't sell 35mil phones like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sackboy Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Also matte=/=rubber finish, there is no improvement in gripping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPHA17 Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) Do you own an S3, or is your usage only the random feel up of demo devices at Samsung's stores? Plenty of colleagues have it and I envy the hardware inside, it just doesn't feel good to hold. PERIOD. And I would prefer SAMSUNG improves in that department, because they have done this -- SAMSUNG Galaxy Rugby. Lets just agree that our aesthetic sensibilities differ. Cheers! :cheers:/>/> Also it is not finger print prone but very prone to scratching, but then iphone has two glass surfaces, though I'll admit Samsung could have done a better job in the build quality, its by no means bad or cheap.

You don't do a lot of things if you are taking that into account. It has community support, flagship status what else do you need. And not Apple. Also matte=/=rubber finish, there is no improvement in gripping You would be surprised to hold the XPERIA go then, might hate it to start with but will catch on.

Sackboy Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Where did Samsung rugby come into the discussion o.O I have used the S3 and One X extensively and I think one X qualifies as matte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPHA17 Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) Where did Samsung rugby come into the discussion o.O Because I wanted to dispel the thought that SAMSUNG = Cheap plastic (as Apple-users trumpet and I am sounding like) and the fact that if the company can come up with a tough device why not use similar sensibilities in other fields.

Maybe because, most people are ok with it ? Most people use phone cases and it doesn't bother them ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel at 10k it offers some decent specs, and anyways it uses android, so you can't go too wrong with it. it has a 9.7" big brother too, buti feel the 7" one is sufficient for my needs.

Big Boss Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 100% sure it will lag and make you pull your hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtheK Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 play around with demo piece, do some multi tasking and processor heavy stuff, see how it behaves. If you still like it, go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wolfy among us Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Hmm that's what I was thinking. Another idea is, wait it out till April, see what Samsung throws up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shantz Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 These cheap tablets are a bad idea for most folks on this forum. They "seem" to be value for money at first but soon turn into hair tearing experience. Instead of buying this, get a used/refurbished good tablet or wait a bit, save more and buy a new good tablet.

spindoctor Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Why are they bad? Genuinely curious. I assume they get no support at xda but other than that surely they work as advertised? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They work almost as advertised. That's why I didn't say "bad" but "bad for most ppl on this forum" who are slightly more tech inclined than regular ppl. A lot of folks initially think that these tabs are good enough for a bit of web browsing and videos watching and otherwise they have their laptops/PCs anyways and first uses are ok but then they see that browsing becomes a chore with slow page loads, opening more than a few pages brings it down to its knees, video playback is glitchy, lot os small games and apps don't work or are glitchy, general software is broken and even community support is in terms of unofficial ports which, while better than official sw, are still broken. Official updates are none to speak of and unofficial updates stop after a while when the few devs working on them move on to the new kid on the block..
