Red Diamond 549 April 4, 2013 Share April 4, 2013 Indeed you did, OP. Yes you did... A big heck of an upgrade you got there! A dramatic increase of specifications! Congratulations, and good luck with your phone! 1 ATTENTION!! I DO NOT TAKE REQUESTS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discorded Bluenote 126 April 4, 2013 Share April 4, 2013 It doesn't really matter since we didn't buy the phone, but yes it is. The only thing that does matter if YOU think it was. And I think you do think it is a direct upgrade. Youtube~Twitch~Ask.Fm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomokoKuroki 1,707 April 4, 2013 Share April 4, 2013 I would say so. It is a obvious superior upgrade in pretty much every aspect. Now if it only came in pink...Then it would have my approval 100% . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravity Derp 12 April 5, 2013 Share April 5, 2013 Ooooo I'm so jelly I just have some crappy phone that I got for free. I would totally say the phone is worth the price. At least I have an ipod :3 1 WIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
go away seb 367 April 5, 2013 Share April 5, 2013 Any phone besides Huawei is better. I have one and it can't even play Angry Birds. WHAT PHONE CAN'T PLAY ANGRY BIRDS? Making a jump from the Ascend to a Galaxy is one hell of an upgrade. I am so jelly that I can fill up 20 jars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost 1,410 April 5, 2013 Share April 5, 2013 Not bad, did you get that on a contract? Also, it looks like the Galaxy S3.. Are they the same phone? I got my iPhone 4 free with my contract :3 need a new phone soon though Your friendly neighborhood alcoholic motorcyclist Life is too short to worry what others think of you, be creative, be weird, live life.

Arcium_Fox 184 April 5, 2013 Share April 5, 2013 Think I got one hell of a upgrade? Well.... Yes, but I wouldn't be to proud The Hardware to Price ratio is not good.... By otherwords: It's overpriced.If i would rate the Axiom: +Not heavy (136g) +Large Battery (For this class(2100 mAh)) +Long standby (up to 150hr) - No International GSM support- Overpriced - Low resolution Screen - poor call quality The internal memory is also a pluss, but for this price class it's quite small My SoundCloud: soundcloud.com/nightisallthesky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxyCryptid 4,330 April 5, 2013 Author Share April 5, 2013 Not bad, did you get that on a contract? Also, it looks like the Galaxy S3.. Are they the same phone? I got my iPhone 4 free with my contract :3 need a new phone soon though It's pretty much a slightly downgraded version of it(slighty slower processor, less storage space, and smaller screen) it's not that big a jump down though considering how much cheaper it is though. I was already on a contract, and they were able to work it out to get me eligible for a new phone since mine was going south. Well.... Yes, but I wouldn't be to proud The Hardware to Price ratio is not good.... By otherwords: It's overpriced. If i would rate the Axiom: +Not heavy (136g) +Large Battery (For this class(2100 mAh)) +Long standby (up to 150hr) - No International GSM support - Overpriced - Low resolution Screen - poor call quality The internal memory is also a pluss, but for this price class it's quite small $300 is the MSRP, I only payed $30+a $12 activation fee for it., and the poor call quality is dependent on the network, it works fine in my area.

Arcium_Fox 184 April 5, 2013 Share April 5, 2013 poor call quality is dependent on the network Actually it's because of the audio chip and the mic (I had the same set) slightly downgraded version of it(slighty slower processor, less storage space, and smaller screen) Slightly I'm quite sure the G-S3 has about twice as much processing power (Not to mention the resolution.... and the built in memory) My SoundCloud: soundcloud.com/nightisallthesky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Concord 1,982 April 5, 2013 Share April 5, 2013 Hello! Well, for 42$, it sure is a good deal. Congratulations! Though, I wouldn't be ever convinced to buy it for the Retail price... It's definately not the kind of phone i'd want to have... 1 Thank you MatrixChicken for the Signature! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.W. 3,619 April 5, 2013 Share April 5, 2013 You need a case for it, like mine for my Iphone 5 Note: That is neither my dog nor my house. Lense did not focus as I took the picture rather quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxyCryptid 4,330 April 5, 2013 Author Share April 5, 2013 (edited) Actually it's because of the audio chip and the mic (I had the same set) Slightly I'm quite sure the G-S3 has about twice as much processing power (Not to mention the resolution.... and the built in memory) I think the other Galaxies have a 1.5Ghz in them(a long with 32GB storage, and 2GB RAM so the storage is the only huge downgrade), and I have no problem with call quality you may have gotten a lemon when you bought yours, or I've just been using cheap phones so long I don't care.

Zygen 6,066 April 5, 2013 Share April 5, 2013 Well its sure a heck of a lot better then my phone xD. Then again I barely use my phone, but it is pretty crappy. Your phone on the other hand looks pretty darn good i'd say. However its up to you I guess, if you like it and think its a worthwhile purchase well then i'd say it was . Pretty obvious its better then the old one I think. 1 Thanks to Gone Airbourne for the awesome sig!

~The Doctor~ 20 April 7, 2013 Share April 7, 2013 I would say so. It's an obvious upgrade and superior phone, as well as all the other features are superior as well. You've got a literal mini-comp in your hand. 1 Would you like a jelly baby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
