Looking at CPU/GPU Benchmark Optimizations in Galaxy S 4

All that is true. But "I like these other phones for personal taste reasons" is hardly a refutation to "people buy Samsung phones because they have features they want" either.

I'm not saying you couldn't possibly decide to buy an non-Samsung phone. I'm responding to a poster who claimed incredulity that someone could.

The poster you responded to said:

> I don't understand why people keep buying this company's god damn products. I mean, holy shit.

And you responeded that the SG4 had some better metrics than it's competition, but did no consider what made a better phone. Benchmark apps are one of those metrics that people consider, and has now shown to be misleading.

Even the higher CPU freq doesn't mean app performance is better, or even that general user experience is better.

Stop it with the metrics!
