The author completely didn't discuss the negatives -- the battery. The largest battery life between the phones mentioned is 1800 mAh. This is just over half of the battery capacity of the current-generation Droid Maxx (3300 mAh) - which still has a slim profile and speedy processor. For me, the 3300 mAh battery life is a definite current-generation game-changer. Not having to charge my phone throughout the day, no matter how much I use it -- and not having to carry around an extended battery -- is what I care about. I'd gladly take that over a higher-res screen.
