Hello to all!
Maybe a better idea would be to ask about objective issues that users have noticed on their phones?
There is a principle used in continued improvement methodologies for setting goals, that sais that in order to evaluate something it has to be SMART(specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, timely)
Specific: if you say something like "this phone is better", or even "the camera is better", then that is not specific at all. It would be better to say something like "the geekbench for this phone was higher" or "the load time for the camera app is noticeably faster", or something of the sorts.
Measurable: why not use benchmarks. Or even better, perform little experiments proving what you are stating. Eg: time how long it takes for your camera to load, write down how many drop calls you get out of your total, measure your signal strength vs other devices,etc
Attainable: this maybe doesn't fit to well for our comparisons, but I would say that you shouldn't compare specs that are not really present on a phone. If you say one phone sucks because it does not have this or that, then think if it sucks just for you, or if it maybe a design choice that other users might be ok with.
Relevant: is there a real impact on the user experience by having a slight advantage on this or that spec? Is it a deal breaker? Does it add value to you as a user? Does it add anything significant? If not, then you might be selling smoke.
Timely: Choose to compare things in the light of current events. Sometimes history helps us know manufacturers better, but sometimes it blinds us from the true current status of the brand. What is the manufacturer has changed policies abbot being developer friendly? What if it has changed material philosophy? Or what it has gotten too comfortable with its position and it is now unwilling to innovate? What I'm saying here is that although the history is important, we should also be willing to accept that our favourite brand or our most hated one could be leaning towards middle points, or even moving towards the opposite side. Be objective when discussing brands, because they are all in for your money and will do what ifs necessary to get it. The choice is yours.
Well those are my two cents.. I felt like writing something like this a long time ago, since there are many threads that devolve into this kinds of discussions, and there is really no point on doing it without objective opinions.
