I am debating which whether to buy HTCx 8x or Nokia 928 when my Verizon contract expires in a few weeks. I was leaning toward the 928...until yesterday when tested the 8x, 928 and GS4 in the Verizon store. I am coming from a Moto RAZR original
Observations: (1) Screen. Side-by-side comparison of the 8x and 928 showed that whites are really washed out on the 928. I thought maybe there was a difference in brightness setup, but that wasnt the issue. The blacks were def better on the 928, but white whites looked almost ivory colored on the 928 vs. white on 8x. (2) The camera on the GS4 blew away the 928 when I took a couple of quick shots around the store. It may have been that the 928 had an inferior screen and that on a computer, the 928 would have better photos (3) The 8x felt much better in my hand--though the 928 wasnt bad.
The GS4 significanty surpassed my expectations--though I wont buy one because I despise Android and its laggyness (sometime apps take 15 seconds to open on RAZR; other times my phone will ring, but I cannot answer it because the phone is unresponsive...I actually do hate android).
I am looking for is confirmation of my observations; I recognize that this is anecdotal, and am therefore seeking additional feedback. Thanks
