As I said previously, Snapdragon is preferred because developers prefer it. Not because it is better. Technically Exynos is a better chip than SD, but I will never buy that, because of dev support.
I am not even going to this display thingy. Invalid statements shall not be entertained. All I can say that my Note 3's display (in movie mode obviously) is noticeably better saturated than my LG's IPS panel Dell monitor, LOL.
Also their Service Centres are pretty damn good, in comparison with non existent after sales service of Motorola. Besides, in some posts in some topic I mentioned about service centre details, no point in wasting my time again. Samsung's ASS is one of the best in India. Now I personally have seen idiots in Samsung SC wanting to service a phone because they have entered their damn PIN codes wrongly and locked it, and then blaming Samsung, well if I were there I would simply slap that person and ask to GTFO. I have also seen persons who can't take out an SD card, who can't make a backup of their contact list etc. I have yet to see a single person who has returned in failure from Samsung SC.
This all is meaningless, one should hate a company because of its drawbacks (every company has one!), not because out of some utterly meaningless hatred, in fact mentioning a company's strong point against that company can't be any more childish.
You have a Swift Dezire, I have an A4, now I don't care about that of course, just don't go saying hey yours is overpriced, mine is value for money, that's very idiotic, more than that actually, that's whats happening if someone says LG/Motorola is better than Samsung, as simple as that.
PS : A little example of Value For Money here, a lot of kids say this term nowadays so wrongly, and use it in an absolute untrue way.
I paid 24k for the Moto X: What did I get? I am saying the good points first. A beautiful software experience, even with outdated and slow hardware. A good built phone (at least I think so), with excellent call quality.
Now the cons:
- I could not get a replacement SIM tray for it. I was ready to pay for it with shipping, even when the phone was only three months old. NON EXISTENT service, and rude behaviour over phone.
- Display: Simply AWFUL. I mean even awful could be an understatement. It was actually one of the major point of me selling the phone.
- Camera quality : I don't want to say anything about it. I have never seen an inconsistent camera like that.
- The backside of the phone got yellow within two weeks only. How's that possible? Poor quality back panel, and no I don't want to know what damn material they used for that. I prefer my Note's fake plastic leather finish 200 times more than it, cause it stays white at least, and feels good too.
- A 24k phone, no SD slot, 16 GB built in. Hmm. However I knew about that, but it is a con nevertheless.
- They provided a beautiful IEM in the stock package of X.
Also just visit XDA to see how many case cracking issues are mentioned about X, plenty. Now I am lucky that I haven't had that issue, well I took care of it.
And then another thing, resale value. I got 13.5k for that phone, which had eight months manufacturer warranty, in damn good shape.
And now Note 3 : I got a phone for 32k. I got a magnificent display. I got a more than capable camera. It can run four apps on one screen if needed (I don't care, I don't use it that way, still, as I said, a plus is a plus, having option is always better). S-Pen, well it's unrivaled, and yeah I use it every day. Solid construction, plastic yes, but I hate metal phones, no point in blocking signals and all, tremendously impractical. I got an SD card slot, with 32 GB built in storage. I got a phone which is significantly better hardware, so for those who play intensive games, well, you know. It has got a very good audio chip too. Additionally I got a phone with IR sensor as well, yeah I use that pretty frequently too. And last but not the least, I will be able to sell this phone at 15-16k, even after nine or ten months. Another point which doesn't interest me, but that's just me.
Now what are the cons, only ONE, TouchWiz. But then again, I didn't have to look for an alternative SMS app, Dialler app, Gallery app, which I had to do on the X.
Now to my brain, the latter is a value for money. Because my money is valued by all the pros I mentioned of Note 3, and only one cons. Simple math here, no rocket science. The number of pros easily outweigh the number of cons here, which was the opposite for Moto X.
I only learnt one lesson, no more Moto, it was a stupid decision from my side, that's all.
