The slogan and the "totally different plug" are absolutely brilliant.
As for the rest.. I guess it depends on how naive they are.
All in all, better than their usual hit-or-miss stuff. The only big thing missing is a snide reference to the patent litigation (but I suppose it would have been awkward to place).

Is that iPhone image retouched or does it really look that lanky because of the way Apple streched it?
Standby/talk time, removable battery and resolution I think will be the big points of note for casual users. Most people who aren't techies won't care about differences in RAM and such. Not sure why they included the weight at all, though.

S voice is actually inferior to siri and Google now as well...

Weight actually makes sense. Of course everyone will assume the larger phone weighs more, and the 3.95 vs 4.7 makes it seem like not much more.
(I suppose that a 4 vs 4.7 would've been even better, but that they couldn't get away with that.)

nice ad .
short but sincere :victory:

I guess they spent a pretty penny developing S Voice because that's the only reason I could see promoting that unpolished poopcicle.

Post your thoughts below
I like it. It has a certain appeal. As long as it is sufficiently thin, I think the block or slab look of it could work.

My calculations is that it would be around 10mm thick. a little thicker than an iPhone but not noticeable ( iPhone is 9.4 i believe )

That would be right at perfect, then. It could probably even go to 11mm. As that is the thickness of my HD2, which received praise from a friend for being very thin.

I can do some metal working, so I can probably make this phone by using another phone's internals. uhm...

[Q] BIG phones; Are the 80's coming back?

Anyone out there know if our devices will reach the mass they had in the 80's? It seems every new phone with nice specs is BIG. I may have to go without the dual processors and front face cam and stick with the reasonably sized DInc.
this is not a joke. I really am wondering. 4" + screens are nice but...
What kind of devices, from 80th you say? What features were those devices? Then correct to compare the modern devices to computers 80th, but not phones.
I wish that could happen but donĀ“t think so....
I remember the great dimensions of the great HTC Universal!

*Hint SGS II is about 2500 - 3500+ so yeah.
my phone has the same rom + kernel setup, but i'm not advertising a silly benchmark score to everyone
and when did theme makers become android developers?..
I don't just make themes only, But you are right Designer and Developer it is.

I've never understood why people felt the need to list every device they ever owned, and what ROM was running on it.
Seems a bit vain to me. Yeah, I own several android devices, plus a whole host of other crap. But I'm pretty sure none of you really give a crap that I have 2 race bikes and a street bike in my garage.
Just sayin.

I agree which is why I have signatures disabled in the control panel. I guess it's no different than a vanity license plate.
I also never could figure out why people put their photos in their Avatar's!

[APP][2.3+] SpeechJammer: App to jam your speech!

Hey guys,
I recently made an app that is quite different from the other ones regularly posted on this forum, which are usually about changing your phone's behavior, so this is a nice change of pace from modifying your phone!
What is it?
Some of you might be familiar with the Delayed Auditory Feedback effect originally research by the Ig Nobel winner Kazutaka Kurihara. If not, check out this video:
To put it briefly, the effect occurs when you hear your own voice at a slight delay. Many people tend to start mumbling, and therefore "jamming" speech. SpeechJammer is an app I made intended to replicate this odd effect from your own phone, unfortunately due to limitations it can only work through headphones, because using it on the speakers would generate a lot of feedback noise.
It's simple to use, just put on headphone and start the app. Hopefully it should impede your speech while you talk. The app also includes a nice holo design inspired from the recent Google Play Store refresh.

Thanks! It's a shame we are still missing so many apps from iOS, really.

How's my S6 screen look?

I know a lot of people have pink/yellow tint or weird green shades. Does mine look okay? Full brightness with gray background and white.

It has a ever so slight pink tint but it's certainly not worth getting replaced as you could get one which is worse. I have got much worse than yours and would definitely keep that

To me it looks pretty good. I wouldnt risk trading it personally. Im on my 6th phone and its bout the same as yours. Ive had much, much worse.
