Right, when i joined this platform, i had swapped my iphone 4 for a lumia 820, it was great, except the fact that the battery died even if i was playing asphalt and charging it at the same time i don't get why either but i ignore that great phone, but i soon got sick of the lack of apps then moved back to an iphone 4s.
Then after reading up again i heard that windows phone is starting to do well again and so i saved up and got a lumia 920, I LOVED it, it was great, i still have it somewhere in my room now, but guess what my problem with it was, yep the build of the phone was poor, when you pressed the screen you heard little clicking noises, after a while i had screen burn on the top and bottom right corners, the screen in the area looked burnt and please do not make any excuse for this ok, i had the phone from august 2013 to October 2013(when i first noticed the problem)
But anyways i kept using it because it was a great phone, but soon it really started annoying me and add the scratches on the phone i decided it was time to get a new phone(February 2014) it took me AGES to save up for this phone, i was saving up since December for this, and i was so happy to get it, the first 2 days i couldn't get enough of it, but then the problem started again this time it was the "mura effect" or oled screen problem as i have read, now i am fine with the fact that the screen type isn't perfect and i should expect.
But after about 2 weeks with the phone i started noticing this problems, i saw the streaks of lines that look like smudges but cant be wiped off and blotches on the screen, now as far as i have read, this is a common problem with most smartphones such as S3, S4, the note series and so on.
My friends with their samsung note, samsung s4 and s3 and iphones and Xperia Z and co don't seem to have this problem but according to the internet it affects all phones eventually but my question now is does nokia just use cheaper quality parts to make their phones or am i missing something, i seriously need an answer. i can't (and im sure there are many like me who feel the same) keep spending loads of money on new phones because of sucky build quality of the phones for the platform.
i love wp8 and all but every fricking phone seems to have some sort of "normal" defect, now i hear you saying why not get a different brand but the htc 8X doesnt fill me with confidence that HTC will fully support it, the ativ S is way behind the design on nokia and htc, so you see my problem is i need a phone that has great build quality but also gets full support from the company and this is why iphones are great, yes the screen may break when dropped but one thing is that iphones have great quality, iphones get passed down families well here in the UK at least.
In my case are im meant to pass a phone that will have a load of blotches by the 4 months time....i really hope the next windows phones that come out will come from a lot of different companies so we have more options, i'm not getting any "top range" phones anymore because i don't see the point anymore, and since the mid range phone with memory card will now have apps and games installed on the card i'll be content with a mid range 8.1 phone next
, maybe the 830 or what ever comes next but GOSH i hope the next set of phones for our platform are better.
