The Verge Preview Hands On

[JHBThree]

Go to :26 in the video. He says "although scrolling performance is still a little bit laggy like it tends to be on all Android devices". So yes, he does indeed say it lags. I've also done the side-by-sides, and Android does stutter more until the page is loaded completely then it's absolutely better than on iOS. At least that's what I found to be the case.



Then he should have SAID that, and if he doesn't understand the difference someone else should have done the video.

He did say it in the write up. What is so difficult for you to understand about that.

I agree to a point. You can compare to the competition, but is it really necessary to do it throughout the entire review, or to throw in there things like "but not as good as iPhone" during a video? That's unnecessary and overkill. Review the product as it stands on it's own merit, then have a section for competition. Then, if it's not as good as the competition, feel free to blast away in that section. No site is perfect, but there are some that are far worse than others.

Oh come now. If they were reviewing the nexus or one and waited until the very end to say 'oh yeah it's totally better than the iPhone' you'd be screaming bloody murder from the rooftops. Reviews exist to help consumers buy products. They do not exist to satisfy fanboy rage.

This is a ridiculous first look. Browser is laggy as in.... camera is not good as in... sorry, my SG3 as an android phone has a good camera, i like apple products but this was lacking of every possible interest in the product. Now i can get that with android he might have meant the Nexus line, but still, if that?s your work you might be able to find a better and proper way to talk about things.

Would it have been too much for the Cnet reporter to snap a picture or two to let us really know the camera quality, in lieu of forthcoming reviews?

So he said two different things?

No I wouldn't. Nice try putting words in my mouth though.

No. One was a video where he clearly had limited time with the device, and definitely not enough to go back and reshoot it. He was talking about Nexii and you know it.
