As I said, I'd choose SD835 simply because it's more energy efficient even if the speed improvement is insignificant (even though it is not), and for most people more battery saving is a very welcome improvement. Moreover, it's not just that. Here's what's new in SD835 besides being 'faster' - - Around 25% less power consumption - Quick Charge 4 (up to 25% faster charging than Quick Charge 3) - Faster, more reliable and efficient Wireless (Gigabit LTE) - Bluetooth 5.0 support (significantly better than BLE 4.*) - Inbuilt Dual camera support and Electronic Image Stabilization version 3.0 for much better shake free videos. - Considerably smaller size so that phone makers can fit more 'stuff' inside. - And more ... All of these features are quite important to me. Of course, we'll have to see how these numbers turn up in real life, but to say it's an overkill for most people is equivalent to saying any new phone with new features is an overkill.
