Well yes and no. People keep saying this and in a way it's true but spec-wise, there are differences. For example, Galaxy S4 launched more than 2 years ago, like 2.3 years or w/e. It has half an inch bigger screen, higher screen-to-body ratio (smaller bezels), twice the pixel density (the ZTE's is about 30% less than the 5 year old iphone 4's density for example, it's not insignificant). Then the S4 had the Snapdragon 600, the ZTE has a 400. (i.e. S4 has a faster CPU and faster GPU, with all the ramifications you can imagine). S4 has double the ram. That isn't as significant when making android vs ios comparisons (as they handle everything differently), but android vs android, double the ram (1 to 2) is a big deal. S4's camera has almost 3x as many MP on the back and autofocus, better front camera, too, and higher resolution images and video. And then there's all the S4 stuff that is useful to some, not to others. Like more sensors (temperature, humidity, gestures, wireless charging etc). And lastly, 2600 mAh battery vs 2100. Pretty similar for the 2012 Galaxy S3, too. The S2 from 2011 seems to actually be considerably worse in some areas, or equal, than the ZTE. Of course it's pretty insane we're even making comparisons between phones that cost 10% the price 2-3 years ago. That's the significance. But I wouldn't say they're similar to 2 year old flagships.
