I think you leaving at iPhone world too long.

Surprising you could said iPhone 5 is the trend of many flagships phone....  the way iPhone 5 increasing that extra one bar space does not actually make the screen phone more usable or bigger feel.

iPhone lost any innovation quite sometimes already. It keep repeating minor updates not only outer but OS as well.

Sorry but you judged me wrong. I wasn't "leaving" nor living in the iPhone world.    In fact I don't own any apple product.

When I talked about the trend, I mean this > "larger, thinner, lighter than its predecessor, more radio chips also bigger battery capacity", not the iphone 5 as a trend.

Larger, thinner, lighter, bigger battery etc. I can safety say that these apply to every flagship phone.

but with phones like HTC One, it's almost impossible to fix it yourself or sending it to a 3rd party shop that fixes phones.. Am even wondering how are HTC going to repair the One when people start sending it back to them because of malfunctions/other damages to the phone..

Huh? Were we not talking about the replacement of the battery? Just for this, I believe there will be independent technicians who will be able to do this.

yeah i know. check that link out. The ifixit team couldn't manage to try and open the HTC One to get into its innards without permanently damaging the casing of the phone.. thats why they gave that phone a 1/10 score on repairability..

Brian Klug from Anandtech would beg to differ

then that should be a little less concerning to those who are about to purchase the htc one.

it is larger because it has a bigger screen unlike the S4, which has a bigger screen too, but it didn't increase in size not to mention a bigger battery too. S4 has a bigger screen size, lighter than its predecessor, more sensors and LTE chips too and also a bigger battery capacity. Not sure what you're trying to argue about here.

Trend of many flagship smartphones? You mean only Apple? I'm sorry but it looks like 5" seems to be the trend this year. So I don't know where you get your facts from. Maybe you created them yourself?

the battery life review from gsmarena seems to be very good.

So the 1st batch launched in Msia runs on snapdragon processor?

for some reason, i always don't like first batch launch phone be it car, laptop, camera, etc.. feels like a testing mouse .. in chinese we called it "bai lao shu" lol

Haha same ,I prefer to wait for another month or so to check on review,frens comment and so on.There will be some frens of mine who will queue up just to get it at the official launch afterall.

So the 1st batch launched in Msia runs on snapdragon processor?

this one im not sure bro but i remember reading somewhere that when it reaches msia, can choose to take the snapdragon or octa 5. price might vary

correct me if im wrong~

And pray tell, where exactly did you hear it from?

On GSMarena or some other websites. I recall reading about it online too.
