              You are just looking for reasons to bash on Samsung.

              All major players were found to be doing it. If people like all of you would actually read articles instead of titles or look up facts instead spreading hearsay you would know this.

                        BUT on phone , the flagship hardware is the same(snapdragon 801), benchmark are program are originally intended to measure the "real world utilization" of the hardware itself, if , for example , samsung s5 using its full gpu power in benchmark AND normal gaming, its not cheating, because it reflects the real performance of the skinned software. now the problem is, manufacturer ADDING a certain command , to push the hardware, to behave out-of-ordinary only in a benchmarking app just to fabricate the score, its not cheating if this also applies in games, but normally it is exclusive to benchmarking app, because putting such a strain to the components for a long period of time (ex: 3D gaming), will result either overheating or excessive battery drain. THAT is the real problem.

                        so to compare benchmarking on pC and phone, it is apple and oranges really.

On Samsung and HTC you get 100% ONLY in benchmarks, and there is no way to allow a browser, video player on anything else to use all of CPU/GPU power.

                                Big_Dikh, 18 May 2014Samsung cheats on benchmark.. That's the reality..No they don't. They just know how to utilize their hardware better within the speeds it comes out of the box with.

                                  Anonymous, 16 May 2014They don't cheat in benchmark like scamsung.And who have told us that it's cheating to use the hardware with the speeds it comes out of the box with?

                                  Does anyone cry like a baby when benchmark apps for Windows use the CPU and GPU at full speed under the benchmark runs, no?

                                  Exactly. The thing with the cheating was just to get more clicks (also clickbaits) on the articles on those webpages who did write about it just to generate more money.

                                    Ops, posted wrong :-).

                                      The Note series is unique with built in Waycom digitizer.
                                      What they are referring to is that they think only new Sony phones have this special sensitivity that can use almost anything as a stylus.
                                      But other phones can don't too.
                                      Note 3. I'm pretty sure can also do it. But it already has spen with pressure sensitive levels and a built in holding spot ;)

More RAM will allow you to run more apps at once and allows you to resume old apps faster because the OS didn't have to clear it from memory because it got full.
