Should I get my GF a Samsung Ativ S, 920 or 8X?

[12Danny123]

If it's urgent and she likes all, perhaps get the one that is available to you guys and girls first?

Even though.. 920 is still the right answer

hmmm. 8X and 8S are coming to my country soon and Ativ S. I think the 8X is best

Perhaps colors are important to her? Sucks that her phone is broken because some real life reviews such as battery life and what not would be ideal.

I agree that hands on testing and waiting for reviews is always good practice, but there should be an easy winner in terms of battery life.

sort of. it's a bonus for her though.

8X and Ativ seems to work with her better.figure out what she does the most on her GS3, if the exclusive samsung apps or skyping was of more use.

I personally say the 8X suits her better. Is a stylish phone, Skype with that camera also benefits you while you are not together and she has beats headphone to take care of the phone.

I think you should get your girlfriend a diamond ring

Probably would be better off with the 8X because that FFC cannot be beat, the rear camera is also similar in specs to the 920 minus pureview but it has an HTC Imagechip which should help with the sharpness and speed of her pics. It's also a better fit because of the beats audio software that would work best with beats headphones. Don't think losing ChatON would be a big deal as there are alternatives. Best bet would be to check them all out in the store but for now I'll say the 8X.

Thanks. Eric. I'll get the 8X then

Lumia 920 if she cares about call quality and signal reception too. In my experience. Nokia has superior call quality and signal reception to Samsung and HTC.

Well, the L920 will fit her needs as it is a good camera for a smartphone. Although I do think as a lady, the weight of the phone will play a huge part in determining which phone she will get.

It's about your gf's needs. Ask her what she needs for a phone.

1) Any person who claims to be a photographer and chooses a phone for its camera is NOT a photographer. It is still just a phone which happens to have a camera that is a step up on other phones. Even the lowest end DSLR and any reasonably advanced P&S camera will leave the Nokia in the dust.
2) Commenting about the weight of the phone being a "huge" factor for a "lady" is sexist in the extreme.

YES. Agreed.

If you like it, then you should put a ring on it.

Out of those three, Lumia 920! That's the one I'd want my boyfriend to get me.

Listen to the lady!

1) sure. But the best camera is the one with you. P&S like the LX-7, sure, I can't argue with the portability. But DSLR? Come on.

2) If you insist. I find no fault with my comment as that is what I have been asked about the most from my female friends who ask me about phones. If that sounded politically incorrect, I make no apologies for it.

I'm with tomatoes11, my first choice would be the 920. However, it won't launch on Verizon so my 2nd choice would be the ATIV, followed by the 8X (I actually think the 8S looks way, way better... actually better then all the top phones... but it doesn't have the specs the others have.)

The ATIV has a larger screen and battery then the 8X and double the storage PLUS the ability to add more via a SD card.

Yeah it's a shame about the low spec... The design is gorgeous! If they'd included an ffc I would've bought one for sure!

 

[brmiller1976]

I love the HTC Super LCD 2 screen. It's the best on the market and makes a BIG difference.

Not to say that SAMOLED is bad... but SLCD2... gorgeous!
