Oh yes, it's a good time to go shopping for a smartphone, particularly
if you've acquired a taste for an abundance of pixels and silicon cores.
But which phones ought to be considered flagships worthy of comparison
with the shiny new GS III? Yes, we're including the Lumia 900
in this context, for the sake of platform neutrality and also in
recognition of the fact that raw specs don't count for everything -- but
we can't overlook that this handset is sorely lacking in terms of ppi
and some other areas. The next two choices are more obvious: the eternal
(or infernal) iPhone 4S and AT&T's version of the HTC One X. So here it is: one table to rule them all, right after the break.
