What does the iPhone's success means for the next crop of Android flagships?

Lol I'm now pre ordering the note 4! Might get the international vaporware version too haha

 

[jamesrick80]

What do any of those 4 sentences have anything to do with the others? I don't care about vaporware and what you think.

The one thing we know is that the note will use a s805. All reviewed devices with s805 don't stand a chance, and that's ignoring the iOS Vs Android factor and all it means (iOS has better apps, better devs, better tools, Android has Dalvik or Art, etc.).

You are just desperate to make the iPhone King of the hill. Your device is not limitless and applications are good across the board in both ios and android. Are you insecure about your device, it seems so. I am very secure with my note 2 and will be secure when I get my note 4.

I would hope that it means that the next crop of Android phones quit trying to throw in all these crazy overblown specs and instead focus on tighter integration between the hardware and software.

The reason iPhone does as well as it does is because the same company controls both halves of the solution.

Frankly, I'm interested to see what Samsung does with Tizen.

All you will achieve by continuing is that people will stop taking you seriously altogether

I thought we were already long past that point.

Well said, I see this as only something positive for Android. The other issue is carrier control and we've seen Google slowly chipping away at this, hopefully this is another reason for them to chip away a bit faster.

So maybe it would be better for you to just drop this desperate campaign to prove that the iPhones are better in every single respect, despite what the facts tell us.

except maybe in the only benchmark that actually matters? single-core performance?

Not the snapdragon version...

Yes I know.s805 should be about 3500

Here is my gs5 with the 805 but clocked 200 MHz slower and slower clocked GPU so give or take should hit around 3500.

The real test will be on android l with full 64 bit registers support on the exynos note 4

It's all about the single core score. 12xx ins't very impressive. No apps are really gonna take advantage of the four core except for a select few. In day to day tasks, I cannot stress enough how much the single core matters over the multicore.

Don't forget its running 32bit code and not taking advantage of the 64 bit instruction set.

True, I'm not sure how well android L will take advantage of 64 bit, I know kitkat doesn't support 64 bit natively.
