With a projected ship date of May (and who really expected it would hit that, even if it were funded?), the gap would have been narrow at best. It would be over a year after the Galaxy S4 shipped with 2GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, and probably 6 months after the expected iPhone 5S ships with currently-unknown specs. You're comparing it to the current generation of smartphones. It's shipping with the next generation.
