If you can wait a year it will be worth it, with mali t604s coming early next year and mali 620s-650s probably coming late. The 650 quad core is supposed to run 1.5 times faster than the xbox 360 .. this phone made me realize I don’t really like Qualcomm for mobile phones this cycle. :) I mean its a killer phone, with a big ol screen and the s4 pro which has adreno 320 graphics.

Yeah, I see the similarity; They are both rectangular phones. :p Smaller screen, lesser battery, no stylus input, but has higher megapixel cameras.
