These tables hide a lot of information.
For example, the screen is compared simply by pixels and physical size but there is no mention of screen quality. I have a desk full of Android devices and for most of them, the screens are large but really, really poor when it comes to color reproduction, dithering, and/or brightness.
The same problem manifests with the CPU/GPU comparison. I will take an Apple A6 any day of the week over a Snapdragon S4 with an Adreno GPU. I've had nothing but problems with Adrenos -- their performance is poor in comparison to the newer PowerVR chips and their crappy drivers have required me to dumb down some of my shaders that work flawlessly on all other mobile GPUs (Tegra, Mali, and PowerVR).
That said, I'm happy Apple finally enlarged the screen so it's more in line with where the Android market is. After using some of the higher end Android phones, my plain-jane iPhone4 is showing its age.

- pooriaazimi 14y agoBenchmarks don't matter one bit, because they just measure "raw" power. These platforms (iOS and Android) use different operating systems, and they implement graphics routines, animations, drawing, etc. wildly differently. So, X could have a 30% more powerful GPU than Y, but the "perceived" speed of X could be less than Y. That's why iPhone was so much smoother than Android before 4.1.
- ch0wn 14y agoThat's absolutely true, but then you aren't comparing CPUs or GPUs anymore, but the OS.
