of course it is, because its the latest flagship anyway, what the point to be the latest if not the best.. the only question is just for how long it will be on the throne? for this year, yes, it might be, because afaik there is no more unannounced incoming device for this year… but towards the end of this year, be ready for next year flagships rumours.. its never ending contest.. you know why i'm excited to see Alcatel One Touch Hero? its not about how powerful is the processor, but i'm glad to see more functionality coming for smartphone when manufacturer starts to think out of the box and making more hybrids.. thats what i really want to see, not just increase in number of processor cores and RAM.. I think we already come to a point that we have above sufficient processing power on our smartphones, but whats next?

Not quite, that phone is highly customised, even with its architecture cores and their sole purpose. Almost to the extent of it being the iPhone of Android.

but its still using the same Android right? Prioritization change for Android OS in MotoX? 

whats the point of having 3 GB of RAM when samsung cant even get the smoothness of its UI right .

Yes it is using android, but it requires much more than just slapping a powerful soc onto a flagship device, something neither HTC or Samsung has done.

That said, I do agree with you that that lag can be done away with a sheer amount of dedication, it just requires much more effort and we all know effort = higher costs.

ifag spotted, come in bash pointlessly then run

First off the note 3 is the first phone with 3gb and it isn't even available yet so how can you comment about the ui?

300ms isn't going to kill you is it?

judging by the current s4 touchwiz UI..  that said, if note 3 uses the same UI as the s4.  then its the same thing.  correct me if im wrong . thanks

yeah touchwiz ui is bloated but we the joy of android is that we can throw touchwiz out of the bin and use other launchers. anyways even stock touchwiz we can tweak and trim it's fat.

Since you give a specific example I will give you a specific answer.

S3 and note2 have the same tw version. There is some occasional lag on s3 but nothing major. Note 2 has no lag.

S4 has reported lags but you're not going to die from it right? Note3 is expected to do away with those issues.

yeah thats true.

i personally think that nowadays deciding on buying an android device with respect to pure hardware performance is just too main stream.

its not just the performance ,  UI plays an important role .

without smooth UI..  whatever highest end performance put into the phone.  the results is still going to be sucks
