    Even if someone gifts me this for free, i wouldn't accept this. It's a feature phone. Even a Nokia 1110 has more features than it has.

Samsung is simply Apples beast of burden here, doing the heavy lifting. Samsung is not doing anything creative here, thats like saying TSMC is the heart of all Snapdragon powered smartphones, please try to see the difference between creator and manufacturer.

Snapdragon 800 in the Note 3 and Z1 are bottle neck with iPhone 5s, Geekbench is the most reliable benchmark, iPhone 5s only reigns in browser-based benchmarks.

                    Take a look. Anandtech is a pretty trustworthy site for anything technical. Read the a7 soc part. It's quite informative. :)

                      It still beats the crap/shit out of the s4 and that was my main referance here coz people are shouting about samsung this and samsung that. Inspite of that don't you think a 1.3 ghz dual core chip performing on par with 2.2ghz quad core chip is impressive?

                              Samsung just fabricates chips for apple So yeah they are like glorified foxconn for apple. I guess this is the last chip which would be manufactured by samsung and they might move to TSMC next year. Learn to have a healthy discussion and learn to listen when someone more knowleadgable is saying something. I m not saying that someone is me :P but talking generally.

Stop with this blue print nonsense as if it is classified, Apple did not design ARMv8, ARMv8 is licensed to be used by every associate partner respectively, it's not exclusively to Samsung or Apple in that matter. Samsung is a conglomerate, Foxconn is an assemble factory.

                                      Not targetting you here but generally speaking android users seem to have this inferiority complex or whatever that whenever any article regarding apple is posted they flock to it and write totally baseless dumb stuff that's downright annoying. I myself have been using android since 2 months but i still say iOS is much better atleast for me and i cant wait to get back to it as soon as my 5s delivers !!

Dude that's there choice and apple fans are happy what Apple doing to there loyal consumer. Fandroids always start the flame because they don't give "RESPECT" to us. We won't comment if you don't bad about Apple which we "Don't" do to them.
