I hope...

The iPhone 5 really takes a good jab at the Galaxy S III so it teaches Samsung to stop being lazy with their hardware. They thought they could rest on their laurels and produce a so so product because they had a bit of hype under their sail.

I wanted them to go above and beyond the norm of the average when it comes to phones. Same GPU, RAM from last year? A modest clocked CPU? They clearly didn't go above and beyond like the last time. I don't see the improvement in the camera aside from snapping photos a bit faster; albeit its supposed to have zero shutter lag. They even cut the front facing camera back by .1 megapixels.

I hope they focus more on specs next time around since they honed in on software. With under 2 GB of ram, this phone isn't as future proof.

I also thought they would 'improve' the battery. At least 2,300 mAh would have been a more sufficient improvement.

iPhone will be an average phone when it comes as all iPhones are. Maybe good display and camera but thats it.

GPU is not the same. Just because it states Mali 400 doesnt mean its the same. It's like saying corei7 are all the same while there are many versions. This Mali 400 is better than its predecessor.

RAM is not the same either, just the same amount.

The CPU is clocked at 1.4 for battery consumption purposes. It can certainly be pushed.

The Front Camera records 720p and its 1.9mpixels instead of 1.3 that HOX's is. Maybe the megapixels there had to do with the ability to record 720p? I don't really know but 0.1 mpixels doesnt mean worse

A phone doesn't practically need more than 1GB of RAM. Since you don't notice any lags, the games run smoothly and you don't get any memory full messages I see no reason why to whine about more RAM :P

Well... I understand that people want revolution but why would samsung raise the competition when they are still ahead with less? :P

Damn what are you running that makes you want 2GB of ram
