I just bid goodbye to my sgs2..sold it yesterday for 950 usd..i had used it for two weeks and it is simply the best phone i ever owned and maybe the best phone ever release, but because of the nature of my work i have to give it up for a smaller phone (Desire S) more usable on my site work.
Cheers to all of you owning SGS2 here, its the greatest phone as of now! Thanks!
Shame you have to let the phone go. Have fun with your new phone though
How could you?!!

sorry to my SGS2..
It's so nice to see a thread that says "goodbye SGS2" not followed by paragraph upon paragraph of b****y issues and complaints. Good luck with you new phone.
Just curious, what job do you do that requires you to use a smaller phone
950 $ ?????

Im a structural engineer here in qatar, its dusty here in the site so i dont want to sacrifice expensive phone (SGS2), usually we make calls or we receive calls, it may be ruined..

maybe im the first one who had it here in qatar,its in demand here.. since its not yet released here it can be sold on a higher price.
And the one who bought is a local arab man here so that amount of money is nothing to him, local people here are very rich...
I'm a Structural Engineer / Project Manager in Australia with Caltex. I agree, working on site is no place for the SGSII. I use my Moto Atrix on site for work, and SGSII off site for leisure.

I haven't read it myself yet, but I know this will make it break this purchase for me when it comes time for my Tmo America.
Enjoy dudes!
Anandtech does the best reviews, just finished reading it and they really made me want to buy the phone. They should do some marketing for HTC.

Truly epic review. The amount of time they spend is insane and the detail. Glad I got my pre-order in for the DevOne. Now the wait begins.

For all of my years on Android, I have somehow never read one of their reviews. Fantastic, more detail than I thought was possible and literally every piece of information that I wanted. Confirmed my decision to purchase the Dev edition earlier.
I know a guy named klug... He Isn't trustworthy...
Having said that this phone is amazing!

Wow, most comprehensive review I've seen. At first I thought it's overkill, but it's not. There's so much to these devices, the average person has no idea. Fantastic!
honestly i just skipped all the technical stuff and just looked at the pictures and videos. i skimmed through some of the other stuff and it sounds like the phone is awesome. too bad i have to wait until the 19th for my preorder to arrive.

What a review:good::good:
This is what i call a review.....
That's an epic review and makes me even happier that I brought a HTC One and it also makes The Verge's review look like a bad joke now.
This review was just.. wow.. And I thought GSMArena does comprehensive reviews. So many tech details that I read about for the first time. Just excellent.

Hello to every1, that's my 1st post!
Great review, simply the most complete! Yeah, GSM-Samsung-Arena ...:laugh:
Can't wait to get this phone, i'm so excited!
Review? I've worked on doctorial theses that had fewer words and less detail in them!
When they review a phone they really leave nothing out! Thanks Anand.

Seriously! He hasn't ever given an editor's choice to a phone so if he does give it then it must be an extraordinary phone!
Indeed it is an awesome review. You feel exhausted after you read all these topics and the analysis that Brian have done on the different aspects of the phone and most of the time you need to read them twice to be able to understand every tiny detail that he put under his microscope!
Probably the best review on the net!
Well done Brian Well done Anandtech!:good::good::good::good:
Good detailed review makes me want to buy another HtC one!!!
Finished reading. Pretty much seals the deal for me.
Currently own a tmo gs2 fyi. Unfortunately I'm still 10% apprehensive due to historical HTC attention past product launches.
That has to be the best review I've ever read.

I've been watching Technobuffalo's reviews on products for years, he always gives his honest opinion and isn't afraid to tell everyone if a product sucks.
Unfortionately I'm still waiting on mine It'll be here Friday!

Yeah, with all the controversy coming out about Samsung's paid 'user reviews', I would say definitely check out Anandtech's review - amazingly thorough and very hones. Covers casual and hardcore phone nerd interests very well.
Here's my review of the phone, trust me I got no extra money from HTC
http://droidhorizon.com/htc-one-first-impression/
Hey folks, planing to say good bye to my S2 to HTC One, but the questions i have are that the call quality, wifi reception, signal reception, battery and ear phone experience, any goods in HTC One?

Oh wow, the 9 for the S4 is weird. He/she is definitely a big fan of the S4 camera. The discrepancy between the rates are too high to be taken seriously.

I have also switched from s2 to one.
Call quality - very clear and loud. Perfect.
Wifi - i have recorded speeds of 25mb download
Battery - solely depends on case by case basis i have not used it to play games or watch videos yet and lasts me days and a half before it dies.
Ear phone - its ok for free ear phone. Other members in this forum rate these better.
Hope it helps.

This is like a support video or better to say advertising clip
I don't if it s right But I can see special support from UK websites this year for SonyMobile (that i like it)
& I saw like this from French websites in 2012 (maybe this is just personal opinion)
like other websites that specially support Samsung devices (AndroidAuthority in my eyes)
:good:
I liked reading the review and several of the videos were interesting, too. In particular, I liked the video with all the Z2 video samples in it. The video quality and effects are very impressive to me, and the effects shown actually look useful and not just gimmicky.
Jon at Clove is very neutral in his reviews. Despite selling phones as they sell more than one company
Very imformative too

Sounds like Jon's employer to me...
From what I've seen Clove do very good unbiased Demonstrations. Reviews would be more critical of a product.
To echo what phil9309 said earlier,
Having watched the video and read the blog - the blog review is a proper review whereas I suppose yes, the video is more a run-through of the phone and features.
Type in 'clove blog' into google it will come up directly.

Sounds good, I haven't really liked the ergonomics of the Z devices in the past which is why though I have been mostly impressed by them I've never purchased one.

He's focused on devices popular in US. And they are bit of Apple-centric (not complaining, but simply stating a fact). Their reviews of Apple devices are some of the best reviews you can find.

I agree , felt like it was rushed. I seriously lol'd when he poured water on it. When he comments on the sound but doesn't even show it in the video? It feels like a first impression video not a review..

Edit: looks like YouTube embedding is broken, and on top of that I just realized mine was the same video that was posted right before me anyway (hard to tell with no embedding).
I just receive an invitation to buy the "oneplus x", but there is no full review yet. I don't know what to do
I'm worry about battery life. My 3 years old nexus 4 is a shame with it too small battery... Hurry up dear reporters !

I just got one invitation as well and I can't wait for the reviews to come before it expires! Anyway, even if it is not up to the expectations we should be able to easily resell it at no loss, shipping costs included.
Battery life will likely be fine - it's only 2525mAh, but it's also only a 5" screen. Based on the OPO's solid battery life (3100 mAh battery and 5.5" screen), I imagine it'll be fine.
Here's a review from someone who already has the phone:
