It is the same as the iPho
Siri doesn't work so well with emails
Still no Flash support

Retains smashable glass front panel
Screen no longer the biggest or best
32GB and 64GB models are expensive
Siri not so useful in the UK

Same look as the iPhone 4
Siri's usefulness is currently limited in the UK
Costly
No flash integration
Outdated contacts menu
Most of the best features can be gained by upgrading the OS
Syncing iCloud data costs after 5GB

Abstract: The LG Optimus 4X HD and the iPhone 4S are as similar as they are different. Confused? Well, allow us to explain: both smartphones belong to the high-end category and are the very best that the two companies, LG and Apple, have to offer right now. But...
Abstract: Jailbreaking and theming my 3GS was still a laggy experience on my 3GS, so I was curious to see how my iPhone 4S would handle being skinned. I'm aware that skinning isn't an incredibly laborious process as far as the CPU is concerned, but I distinctly rem...

Abstract: We observed a dichotomy involving the iPhone 4S versus competing smartphones. Look over the test results. In case you don't see it, we'll tell you. SunSpider Javascript benchmark tests the Javascript...
Abstract: Yes, I am one of those crazy, semi-hypocritical converts who is now touting the virtues of the iPhone as a usable camera. I didn’t start out this way (note the semi-hypocritical part). But after being gifted such a phone/camera/GPS/game console, I wou...
Abstract: gadgets I’ve been fiddling around with the HTC One S for a few days now, and I have to say it’s stolen a little piece of my heart. The hardware is just about perfect, with a 4.3-inch qHD display and a slender aluminum unibody shell, and software like H...
