I got to check out the iPhone 4 yesterday and, once again, today with Art (@artsamaniego) and we placed it side by side the Samsung Galaxy S and the HTC Desire — then comparing the Retina Display, AMOLED and Super AMOLED display of the three.
First, here are some of my first impressions of the new iPhone 4.
The device feels heavy for its size — this is due to the metal and glass construction of the iPhone 4 in a compact design. The design looks more industrial, leaving a hard, cold impression. It definitely doesn’t have the same look as the previous 3 generations of the iPhone.
The iPhone 4 is a smudge-magnet — not only in the front panel but the back panel as well. The glass plates in front and in the back attracts fingerprints like there’s no tomorrow (a nice and simple bumper case with iShield might solve that though, including the signal issue).
The camera is impressive — takes pictures really fast with good quality images. We couldn’t test FaceTime but was able to try switching the camera view from the back to the front with ease. I’m thinking the ladies will use this feature as a mirror.
The device feels way more snappy than the older iPhone 3G I used to have — definitely has the same performance as my iPad.
We compared the display of the iPhone 4, HTC Desire and Samsung Galaxy S — the Desire is bright and crisp, the Galaxy S is brighter but the iPhone 4 definitely has better resolution and a more refined display.
Here’s a 1-minute clip I took of Art’s iPhone 4 (he went to great lengths to get this unit and Manila Bulletin spent over 80k just to have first unit shipped to the Philippines).
Asked when the iPhone 4 will be released in the Philippines, Globe representatives replied that they are still confirming but would not say if it’s September or October.
hi!.. does anybody know where we can get the HTC Desire at a good price?.. thanks.. =)
guys guys don’t get too excited with ipad
coz it’s a worthless piece of junk
it’s just an over sized ipod.
it doest have any memory expansion slot
no web cam, no usb slot
or kahit tv out manlang sana.
the casing is sturdy though. the back casing is made
out of aluminum.
For guys asking for microsim, as far as I know meron si Globe pero right now for postpaid pa lang (used for postpaid plan for iPad).
Just inquire na lang to your nearest Globe Business Center.
Hope yuga can also provide some reviews on the reception issues. Eto na lang nag ho-holdback sa akin para bumili… hehe
