my advise to ppl is...
processor and ram will always improve and increase. there will come a time when people no longer look at these hardware specs but look at the overall experience.
so, as long as you can do what you want with the present models (and think you can continue to do so for the next 2 years), that is good enough.
in my case... Note 2 is just about right. i wanna be able to watch fullHD movie (only coz i'm lazy to look and store multiple copies of the same movie). note 2 and s3 can do that.
but i like big screen.
and ya... luckily... Samsung still have expansion slow and removable battery. i still quite traditional and would like them.
so, having said all the above... sometimes... even older models are good enough. and what more, older models will be more affordable once the new model is announced/ launched.
Note 2 FTW. Anyway, we are still limited by 32 bit ARM in all its flavors (Tegra4, S800/600/4,A15whatnot), so it's only a matter of evolution until we get ARM64. But then ARM has stated that ARM64 will run ARM32 seamlessly, so, in the end, the vast majority of users won't even notice or bother. It's the same like the PC/notebook market.

Exactly my problem
but XpZ bested Bfly in every aspect imo.
I was never a fan of Samsung. Well, never a fan of any brand really. But Samsung's decision to remain removable batt and microSD slots shows that they still care for tech enthusiasts that once rely on them so heavily for rooting, creating gold card, flashing ROM, etc. When HTC opted for non removable batt the first time (HTC One Series) I literally raged and did not calm down for more than half a day. Lol.
Back on topic though, RAM is so slow it is negligible. Processor however, are changing non stop. Note 2 is ALWAYS a choice for me. I love that beast. Sadly if I have the money for it now, I would've opted to wait for S4 or just buy HTC One when it comes. If I ever felt like I need a large screen and a stylus, I will not look further and could care less about 1080p or processors then. That's my problem, hard to decide.
Which is why I'm looking forward to S4 being my stop, my cure, my long awaited gadget.
Wait for Note 3. Even better
see reply to mydragoon above as well. For me, among all the brands, only Samsung gives me what I want in a device to date. Competition is good and hopefully Samsung maintains its tradition of cardslot and removable battery. Contrast Xperia Z to Galaxy Xcover 2. Both dust and water resistant, but Xcover has a REMOVABLE battery.

Not defensive. The way you post was sort of like you dont know that Samsung use plastic. And even suprise when you find it out.
Yes..Samsung use light..thin..bendable plastic on nearly all its phones especially on backcover. Reason..easy to open it when you need to take out the removable battery.
If the backcover crack or accidently break..it wont cost you a bomb to buy one and change it.
Ya bro, even ALL the mid and low tier Nokias (before Lumia) were all plastic and nobody complained. Personally, I think aluminium gets stains easily, and if you drop it you get dents that you can't fix.
Um, even the Lumia 920 ....
