This is correct, at face value. However, the comparison is usually this: Option 1: - has a removable battery, headphone jack and/or stereo speakers - security / OS updates stop in 6 months (or never happen or are years behind) - camera is OK - getting kind of slow - proprietary version of Android with bloatware Option 2: - no removable battery, headphone jack or stereo speakers - security / OS updates for 2-3 years - camera is better in low light - it's fast right now It's like evolution, except there aren't enough options and the timeline is too short and bad features are too coupled with good features.
