(The only exception is sunspider, which for some reason doesn't seem to run very well on android devices using quallcomm chips.)

Also they can make the device smaller, since most of the 1080p devices have larger screens, and we get the extra wide aspect ratio.

Well that's how it usually works. Newer technologies are more powerful. When you say S3 competitors, I mainly think of the One X, Iphone 5, Lumia 920, 8x, that generation. The S3 is a better package than all of them and has sold much more in exception of the Iphone. Of course the HTC one, XpEria Z are more powerful, they are this year flagship devices. You should compare them with the upcoming galaxy s IV when it comes out. The fact that you even compare the S3 to these phones proves that it's a great devices of its own ( just saying )

Ps: Nexus 4 and optimus g are more powerful than the S3 yes.

I said the S III is currently being monstered, not that it has been throughout it's lifetime, and I said so because it means that they needed to bring out an update now, rather than wait, which was the alternative.

Yeah true, but it's still sells relatively well and I think it still will after the S IV is released (which shouldn't be too long now).

Coming from Samsung Nexus S to Nexus 4 and really like it so much No more stuttering when a few apps are installed
I do not care about Headphone Jack on top or bottom like some others here. Everything is great

Well after using the N4 for a few days, I'll have to be going back to the N2 as my main device. The Nexus' screen is nice and it's a beautiful device in terms of aesthetics but I just miss getting 6 hours of screen time.

While of course six hours are great I sometimes wonder who has the time to use their phone for that amount of time anyway....

The first tegra 4 benchmarks are out, nVidia delivers. I doubt the snapdragon 800 will be able to keep up with that, and even the exynos 5 octa will struggle to match that GPU. My guess is Tegra 4 phones are probably not going to show up until the second half of this year, though.

I doubt a tegra 4 phone will show up at all this year. They said the 4i phones will come out late this year.

I've gotten five and a half on my nexus 4, on Wi-Fi and with a custom kernel. I know what you mean though, apart from the large battery in that phone Samsung are really getting good at making battery life stretch. Hence why I'm using a galaxy s3 right now.
