If not, then just shut up.

AnonD-272463, 10 Jun 2014iphone 5s cons not even hd and bad screen colorsYes.Because bad colors problem doesn't exist.And in quality the ppi is important and pixel density of iPhone 5s is not bad.So it's not a con.HD is a standard but more important thing is ppi and iPhone 5s is great in ppi(not the best but great).

If you are putting no 2160p video recording for 1520 then you should put no 20mp pureview camera for note3 and others.

GSM arena states: "The BlackBerry Z10 fire sale on the other hand lets you get some capable hardware at a very low price, but we aren't recommending this one as we believe it's held down by a dying ecosystem."
GSM Arena should be supporting the BB ecosystem, if such a point is considered so important to you. What are you saying is an ecosystem that is just so critical. Apps you say? Games? Is that just it. I challenge GSM Arena to say why you really will not support BB when in fact we need their better OS and security. What is really driving you so be so bullish on a weak and risky Android system. Just games and ease of use? Is that all you think of? Get behind BB and yes the Z10 is the best value on the market by a long shot. Why are you putting your personal prejudices ahead of consumer need and common sense.

My lumia device could not have been any more pleasing as a daily driver that's why I am waiting for the Lumia 930 to get the extras of the WP 8.1 platform ;) .

Still rocking the HTC One M7, haven't regret till to date. Probably won't for another 6 months, or even a year. When I used to use Galaxy S2, S3 I would already feel bored, as it'll gradually start to lag by then. Whereas the HTC One M7 still performing well as day one, or better I should say, especially since sense 6 update.

I think you put the Nexus 5 a bracket higher than it belongs.Also, I don't see the OnePlus One which is a great deal in my opinion.
It would also be nice if you included some chinese phones in the list.
I switched from a Limia 520 to a Jiayu G4S which is the same price and is superior in every department.

RIAJUL , 09 Jun 2014why people buy high end smartphone. we can run all in a mid... moreThe targets are completely distinct.
Obviously you get better "bang for the buck" in the mid-range, but you also have to make some sacrifices which aren't acceptable to many.
VGA front camera? Please! That's unacceptable.
Have you felt the back cover? Do you honestly consider that "good"?
Numbers and specs are impressive, but in the real world you can see that (whilst they are still great) they produce results which are nowhere near flagship material.
I'll give you an example. That 8MP main camera has more noise than one would be expected.
That impressive dual-core (faster than the quad-core that equips Moto G), compared to the flagships, still has some (occasional) but very obvious lags.
I think we've pretty much summed up why some people are willing to pay the premium for flagships.
