People are changing from feature phones to smartphones. Pentiums to multiple cores. It is happening way faster than we think.
What I see in most of the people who are buying these stuff is non other than falling into a marketing hype. Advertisements are prepared in such a way that people will like the product no matter what the product is really capable of. People are too busy to think. They rarely have the knowledge about the technology which powers these products.
Okay. So if a normal person doesn't have the knowledge to choose the best product which matches to his needs, what would he focus on? Specifications? Features? or both?.
What I believe is there is no product which can give all what we need. There is always a trade off between features and performance. You expect more from the first, you would be disappointed in the latter. That is how these products work, and also how the nature works.
What most of the average people think is that they should choose the product with the best specifications. Suppose if a smartphone has a dual core processor and another has more cores, people are tend to guess that the latter would be working faster. Which is not always true. It is not the specification which matters to the performance. It is how well the programs have been managed to work in that specific processor. A slow program in a faster processor would take more time than a fast program in the slower processor. There are often times I have experienced smartphones with faster processors getting lagged in running a specific application, and the the phone with the slower processor runs smoothly. The average person doesn't understand this.
I'll quote a comment of some unknown person, who had commented in an article on a social media site.I totally agree with him.
"It's not about how much MHZ or cores processor has, and how much RAM does phone have. It's how fast it works. For all i know it could have 8gig of ram, and 4 cores ? 3ghz CPU. But if it lags, it sucks"

The next thing I wanna talk is about the feature lovers. Features are always great, but I would say performance is inversely proportional to the number of features. Less features is always faster. So one cannot simply expect all the features in his smartphone, and yet expect it to work very smoothly all the time. More features means the processor has more work to do. So it is obvious that it can lag.
What I am trying to point out here is that there is no best smartphone. It is always a trade off between performance and features. If you prefer your smartphone to work smoothly all the time, do not expect every set of features in it, and vice versa.
There are always people who hate one brand of smartphones over another. My request to them is choose what you love, and let them chose what they love. Your priorities might not be the same with the others.
