You know the problem ,where the actual problem lies? It is because we dont know what we actually need!More power more cores more ram.Heck do we actually need them?Will we ever utilize the 8 cores and 4 cores optimally let alone full fledged.Is it actually worth it to spend Rs 25K on a phone? @25K CAN ACTUALLY GET YOU a Maruti 800 or a Maruti 1000 albeit second hand.What is this quad and octa cores and SoC needed for after a point time its just for showing the might on synthetic benchmarks [My Phone strongest] and absolutely nothing else. Theres a over supply than the current demand.In actual use even a Mediatek with PowerVrSGX544 is more than enough. for eg I have a Hyundai Tab that has a Rockschip dual core with Mali 400MP [Quad] costs Rs 9K and does verything from1080p in HW+ in MX player to Batman The Dark Knight Rises to anything butter smooth. I never knew what lag was until i encountered absolute entry.mid entry level phones in android.
We are over looking something more than the redundant SoC here,something that we will use everyday. That is a Good large crisp display, battery ,build quality,camera and audio and a smart android integration minus bloatware. 45K for a phone,it a monster we created. Think about it.
