No one is forcing you to buy a phone which does not meet your expectations.

Because the s2 is an old phone. Any new phones should have at least those specs. This is a step back. La+ you’re an idiot

You should consider the price before comparing. Samsung Galaxy S2 (High end) vs. HTC Desire X (Mid End). Seems you’re the idiot not them, :P

Even the Samsung Galaxy 2 epic touch has better specs than this

Why would you compare a flagship device with this mid-range phone ?

Because he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

The battery is very dismal compared to lenovo p700 and this is a bit expensive though its processor is better. How’s the battery life here considering low capacity battery and a dual core processor???

It has a price tag of $388 (current conversion = P16,296) + taxes. Camera can only record up to 480p (720×480), no front facing camera, lack of app storage (only 2 GB accessible for apps). Ugh. Why HTC ?!?! I can get the Galaxy Nexus for $12 more. And oh, what happened to releasing FEWER phones ? You CAN end up like Blackberry for all we know. If the price is right though, this can attract buyers. If not, they can get the XPERIA Sola for P11,200. End of.
