Any new phone rumors for Sprint?

htc and everyone.. knew that sense was very heavy and used a lot of memory.
they should have had 2gb of RAM before Sammy. the evo og was one of the first to have 1gb of RAM.

Stylus... htc tried it with the flyer to bring it back. it was a step in the right direction. to bad htc could not think farther outside the box, and change the stylus more. Sammy again saw the potential first.

Having used the Evo, the 3D and LTEvo, I can tell you that extrapolating from what the Evo was like to what they did in 2011 isn't a safe bet.

The OG Evo 4G did not have 1 GB of RAM. It had 512 MB, and 1 GB total storage.

Compare .5/1 to 1/4 or 1/16, and the og S1 processor to the later dual cores and that adds up to a huge difference in what Sense has been for a year and a half vs what's believed.

And it's that innocent but universal mistake that has everyone claiming how heavy weight Sense is.

And it's going to whack the new HTC phones again.

And make no mistake. The more they cater to the "make Sense light" meme, the more they break things.
 
OK.. i thought the EVO OG had 1gb of RAM..

dont want Sense to be smaller... never said that.

I want htc to add more mem to the device to handle Sense and more apps at the same time.

that is why EVO LTE fell off my list of possibilities...
stuck on 1 phone for 2 yrs or more... 2GB of RAM would be better in the long run.
 
Well, let's round out the wish for much larger stock batteries at the same time.

I've yet to see an SGS3 report with a stock battery matching what I get as a matter of course running the same processor.

I attribute that to the 2 GB trade off.

Also one of the reasons I have such high respect for the Note 2.

So, can plz haz fewer trade-offs this year??!

In fairness, I've never gotten your battery life either :p
 
Looks like I need to visit my Samsung friend. I hear we may be seeing something new from LG at CES as well

And if you do get a visit from him/her, info on the Samsung 7.7 Note tablet would be greatly appreciated, as far as expected release. I don't even really care about specs that much, since I'm assuming they'll at least match the Note 2, which is more than sufficient for what I'd need the tablet for.
 
Wow, looking at the Huawei Ascend Mate next to the Galaxy Note 2...I really hope Samsung doesn't follow suit and make the Note 3 a 6.3 inch phone. The Ascend Mate is a 6.1 inch screen, but it absolutely dwarfs the Galaxy Note 2!

Hands on: Huawei

^^^ that is large...

6.1 and a little more and you get a 7" tablet.

that is getting really close.. line is getting really blurred.

Funny thing is, when I was watching the Phandroid video, I kept wondering why they haven't done a size comparison with the Note 2, so I googled to find that pic (since I knew there had to be somebody that took size comparison pics).

The Note 2 was already on the borderline for me, but if they go up to 6.3 inch for the Note 3...I'll likely have to pass on it, if it gets close to the Huawei.
 
A bit off topic from most of the phone discussions going on here now but, I hope that our next Flagship devices on Sprint support all 3 of Sprint's LTE bands (Sprint's 800 & 1900mhz, and Clear's 25/2600mhz). If one phone does and one phone does not, that will be a huge differentiating factor in my next purchase. Sprint says (in the article below) that they will be releasing tri-band LTE phones in 2013. Lets hope both the next EVO and Galaxy S support this!

This sounds good to me since I can't upgrade my S3 until 2014. Sprint does seem to be moving in the right direction. I just wish they would get LTE in my area soon.

I could go as large as the gs3 but note and note 2 screen size would probably be just a bit too big for me.

I thought that the Note 2 would be too big for me, but after having it for almost 2 months, it's right at the borderline of the biggest phone I'd feel comfortable owning. Any bigger and I'd have to explore another option. And it's only comfortable because I refuse to use a case on it (or any of my phones for that matter).
 
Wow that Huawei phone is huge! If the Note 3 will be bigger than that, I don't know anymore. lol But who knows, I might still get it. The GS4 is another option as well.

Oh please drex, you and I know that when the samsung Galaxy Note 3 with 6.9 inch display comes out, you won't have to worry about putting a case on it or not, Just wrap it in a blanket and carry it around like a baby. I for one will do that and place the pacifier in my own mouth lol

All joking aside, that device is huge. But we won't know how it actually feels until it in the hands, much like the Note 2.

LOL...I already know, TS. That thing is way too big. Heck, I thought the Note 1 was big and would never have gotten the Note 2, had it been the same physical dimensions as the Note 1.

Only way I get a Note 3 w/ a bigger screen than the Note 2 is if they squeeze it into the current form factor, which just doesn't seem realistic.

1st .. i agree...

but it is funny...
how each time the phone pushes a little bigger.. that is accompanied by a feature that makes use of it.. our general comfort is moved to fit it.

iphone OG... that is all we need
EVO OG... damn that is biggest i would ever go!!!!
Note1... nope.. that is too big.. cant do it.
SG3... ok, pushing my pocket size!!!
Note2... this i can do.. i want it! but that is the biggest i will ever do on a phablet.

hhhmmm.....
