i personally wouldnt spend 3k on a smartphone. Gaming on smartphone eventually got boring for me that i stopped playing games.Mostly just surfing the net,texting and take pics with it. Plus its already a turn off that spending a few minutes on gaming already consume so much of your battery and getting your phone warm. So i dont need overpowered processor.Note 4 is a good all round phone and s pen was the reason that i got it at the first place. They keep packing phones with powerful spec to attract buyers but if you think wisely,do you really need it? unless they take the gaming department to another league and with better optimization then il consider that price.
