Conclusion
Nokia's Lumia 800 is a very good smartphone and very much deserves comparisons with the HTC Titan, which, despite having a better camera, is less stylish and offers fewer services. Nokia has taken a little while to change direction, but this new smartphone marks a solid return to form for what is still the world's largest mobile manufacturer, coupled with an innovative OS that's definitely worth a closer look. Keep up the good work!
The Samsung Galaxy S3 delivers a first-rate user experience. With its top-notch hardware, this handset never flinches or falters. On top of that, Samsung has loaded the S3 with plenty of innovative new software features—most of which are pretty good—as well as an excellent camera and a powerful battery. The Galaxy S3 is clearly an iconic new Android phone, but for such an exciting handset, it's a shame to see such a conventional design.
