HTC Wildfire S to retail for Php14,995

“13k or 14k, the specs of the phone is not worth it. Yes, it beats the X10 mini line, but for the price range there are phones that boasts more features and power.”

Like what? Please give some samples

X10 belongs to a different class and a different year.

The cost of ownership of a gray market phone is high. Pag nasira, katumbas na ng bagong unit ang parts. So add that up and mas mahal pa sya talaga.

The Galaxy Ace is also old and actually even slower. Samsung has put it on sale to clear up their inventory.

I’ve never encountered a gray market seller who has the capacity to replace a broken unit w/ a new one a week after a transaction’s been made. So what you said is a new and interesting thing i should look into.

I’ve been trying to find a benchmark test pitting the WS vs the Ace on the websites you mentioned but couldn’t find any. I did find this, though:

X10 really shouldn’t be put in the same picture as the Wildfire S or the Ace. The SE phone is an option for budget conscious buyers who want a bigger screen. It’s like comparing a bnew Mitsubishi L300 (it’s still in production, i think) vs a 2011 Vios.

WHAT! Luma na ang Samsung Ace? Nasa tamang pag-iisip ka ba? O talagang alagad ka lang ng distributor ng HTC sa pinas? FYI the sammy uses a ARM 11 processor also known as the ARMv6 architecture. Pinakalumang ARMv6 processor, highest clock speed nya eh 740MHz, overclocked na yan kaya di pwedeng ARMv6 na pinakaluma ang gamit ng Ace. Ang HTC mo, 600MHz highest clock speed kaya kung hindi pinakalumang ARMv6 ang gamit nyan eh ARMv5TE nasa loob nyan. MAS LUMA NAMAN SIGURO YAN SA ARMv6 DIBA? Isa pa, ang tanga mo naman para di makita yung benchmarks ng Wildfire S vs Ace sa binanggit ni arvee na website. eto tignan mo
http://www.gsmarena.com/ punta ka sa page 3 ng reviews ng dalawang phone na yan. Huwag mo na pagbasehan BenchmarkPi kahit talo naman wildfire mo.

ngayon, compare mo. kuha mo na? shet kung di pa paputol mo na internet mo at mamuhay ka na sa kweba. di lang ako makaagree sa plastic na feel ng ace. una, bakal o stainless gilid nito. yung likod rubber. nasaan naman ang plastic niyan? alisin na natin ang x10 sige, arte mo eh pero kung panloob lang titignan, wala namang binago ang htc mo sa x10. pweh!

Well, with regards to your first statement, I think you should really have to canvass a lot more. :) Okay I’m giving up, the store’s name is Kimstore. I think they still have their multiply page, you can look for my feedback there regarding a return due to a factory defect. And others’ return experiences too as well. (Pero konti lang kaya you better start now haha)

Technically speaking, the guy above was correct. The oldest ARMv6 archi-based processor can only be OC’d to 740MHz, which obviously isn’t the Ace’s base clock speed. So the Wildfire S must be using this older processor or worse, an ARMv5 archi-based processor pa. That’s old, isn’t it?

Why remove the X10 from the scene? It’s still an android phone so it still can be included on a person’s buying option. As what I’ve said, it depends on the user in the end.

Anyway, I could’ve considered your analogy kung 7th generation lancers ang ginamit mo instead of the L300. The L300 we know is a pick-up, the Vios is a car. That applies sana to comparisons with a tablet and a phone. The Xperia X10 is a phone (it’s still not a tablet despite it’s screen estate), the Wildfire S, Defy and Ace are phones too.

thanks arvee sa store. lol
