I dislike contracts, I would rather buy the device outright and stick with GiffGaff. Where can I find the Samsung Galaxy S3 at hundreds of pounds cheaper?
What Nonsence, high DPI screens are great to look at and read text. Why do you think high quality magazine run into this DPI range?
They don't advertise it so if their customers wouldn't notice if they lowered it they would and save lots of money.
Werent even Samsung showing off a laptop this year with a retina style display?”
Contracts are not for you but for the majority they are and in doing so you will save a couple of hundred quid. In terms of simple free I have said that you will save one hundred pounds which is not to be sniffed at is it? More if you went for a one x which (I belive you think better than the S3 anyway). These are not inconsiderable savings especially when it would appear to be a better phone.
You will find that dpi and ppi are completely different things
Apple have come out with this retina nonsense and all of a sudden the ppi is all important the power of persuasion. It is a total load of tosh, what is it the perfect amount from 11 inches from the eye or something similar as if that is some sort of new standard.
All top ends phones have sufficient ppi to produce clear text but have far better high res screens.
Don't be fooled by Apple speak look at the screens on phones and see which is better that's what counts and in doing so you will see that there are far better screens than the iphone.
