seems like a lot of people letting go of their N5 recently, all switching to the new SD801 flagships?

i see marketplace got quite a few seller selling N5.
SnapDragon 801 lo, the newer flagships (Z2/S5/M8)

People want those phone not cause of processor please.
I hope people are smart enough to know that basically there's no difference.

I did the same switch but quite frankly, I cant feel the speed difference, if any. Both are blazing fast to me.

hmm apart from speed, the portability is good considering i've a tab pro 8.4. save me the trouble of lugging two big devices out.

only downside is the battery life though but i've downclocked and undervolted it so hopefully it will be better!

Ya the battery downgrade is the one thing I needed to get used to. But actually for my usage, the phone can still last till I'm home from work most of the time. Good enough for me since I charge my phone at night all the time. Haha

you are moving to M8? S5?

Z1C. M8's camera really sub par, their ultrapixel tech really CMI. S5 too plasticky for my taste, shape of the phone not appealing to me as well, the S4's was better. I also happen to dislike big phones, nobody knows why all my previous phones were big-sized..

your much is how much? Never check out N5 sales in marketplace, but it is out for quite a while and price is expected to drop for phones after few months. Moreover nowadays so many new phones coming out.
