That’s not all PenTile is, the DROID 3, 4, X2, Bionic, and Motorola Atrix also have Pentile, but a really retarded version because 1. there 4 subpixels per pixel and 2. they’re not even AMOLEDs, so there is no excuse for it.

Yes the processor is marginally better. You’re not going to see a screaming difference between the S3 and the Droid.

Sorry but go to XDA or any real tech enthusiast site and read comments about build quality for HTC devices. You’ll find a lot of HTC customers saying they were fooled into thinking HTC has good build quality. HTC only seems like it has good build quality at first, but they have a high malfunction rate. HTC phones break down very quickly into their product life.

On the flip side, Samsung seems to not have good build quality, but you’ll find their products last longer and don’t damage or break down easily. Not to mention most people don’t even realize both Samsung and HTC use the exact same body materials.

It’s a very, very, very common misconception.

I used to work at a company that flips used cell phones, and I see more HTC devices in poor quality than other brands.

The “Samsung is so far ahead laughing at this while they sell another ton of phones” does, considering the phones are almost exactly the same (build quality, camera, RAM aside).

The Razr, Razr Maxx were last year’s model, similar to the Skyrocket, Stratosphere, etc. Even including last year’s models, Moto has made far less models than Samsung.
In addition to that, Blur is extremely close to stock, while TouchWiz is no where near stock. Blur was horrible back when the Droid 2 came out, but now, it’s almost nonexistent. The main differences between stock and blur are the swipe-left to the access quick settings, the circles widget, and SmartActions.

Aren’t you all full of yourself…you apparently have no idea what you’re talking about…when you hold the razr maxx hd in hand, its solid, no flexing, seams don’t flex/give off popping/cracking sounds with pressure, shake it a bit and you get zero noise from anything loose in the chassis…THAT is build quality…never mind the Kevlar backing, solid metal band, metal buttons that have perfect travel and feedback etc.

None of the others I’ve held (s3, note 2, DNA, 8x, 822,.900, 920 etc) even come close…the only phones that do are iPhone’s, they are on par with Motorola in build quality.

When I apply just a little pressure to the front and back of my DNA (yes, I choose a DNA over the maxx hd) it flexes, badly and starts to squish the thin fragile grill on the side…that’s POOR build quality.

Get a clue buddy.

How something “feels” in your hand doesn’t mean squat about how well they are built and how *durable* they are. Anyone with half a brain about electronics knows that. If you base build quality on how they feel in your hand, you shouldn’t be commenting on this.

Bah, I’ve had multiple hardware failures on multiple Motorola phones that were babied and never dropped. Top notch nothing. Threads are still probably out there for the digitizer going out just after a year on the OG Droids with tons of complaints.

And what he said would lead you to believe he meant otherwise?

By: MicroNix

Exactly. Except I’ve had WAY more hardware failures with Motorola phones than either HTC or Samsung.

My GS3 battery lasts all day and still has >30% at 10pm. No problems here!
