You're telling us a quad core 1.3Ghz phone is outperforming another quad core 2.5Ghz phone? And a 5" 720p screen is better than 5" 1080p?

I'm dubious to say the least. Not saying the phone you have isn't perfectly adequate...just that you're suffering a slight case of confirmation bias.

Well as I said, I have never owned a Samsung high end phone before. With all the battery issues, well my friend and his wife's at least where they both had to take their phones back because the battery drained to fast and got really hot, there was a callback for that reason alone, anyway it just performs better on the hand full of tests I ran. The wife upgraded to a new LG phone and she gave me her Galaxy S5 to play with for a while. I am not saying the phone is better in all ways than Samsung, I am saying it performed better from what I could see regarding benchmark tests and a couple of games I installed on it, loading times and so. The AMD Apu for instance will outperform a gaming rig from 3 years ago. Spec wise a 2015 phone can look worse than a 2014 phone, not to say that the 2014 phone will run better. Look at the Oneplus one/two for instance, they cost a fraction of the Iphone 6 plus, but run circles around it.

AMD APU? Does this phone have an AMD APU powering it?
 
post benchmarks, make a thread about it even and post a ton of tests, if this is true substantiate it for everyone else because that would be a dope deal then. I can't find any information on this phone tho

Yeah I will make a new thread rather with some screen shots. Don't want to pollute this thread any further with what is better and why lol. I just thought it was a cool phone for a ok price compared to the more expensive options and shared it. :)

You sound very confused.

I'm not so sure about this. Last time I checked, an AMD APU couldn't even outperform my aging budget Geforce 550 TI (released in 2011). Never mind a gaming GPU from 3 years back.

If you consider the fact that the 7970 and Sandy Bridge lineup (2600k) are about 3 years old, his statement makes as much sense as those with their 650Ti's who "can Max out any Game at 60FPS on High no problem"....

I do want those benchmarks out of mere curiosity.
 
Anyone know where to find a good price on a 2.5" external hdd with a size of 2tb?
