Eynos? Why not MTk, they cost like 10x less while offering more or less the same thing?

The MTK offers 8 relatively weak A7 cores, while this has 4 of those and 4 badass a15 cores.

Here it is, american know-how exported overseas and they sell it back to us. The USA does not have enough graduates and enough jobs for the graduates. Where is this going?

Some of the Exynos chips are pretty nice. This one is kind of half and half. The CPU side is pretty decent. But they're still using Series 5 PowerVR chips, and only a 3 core at that! The Series 6 cores are MUCH better. On top of that, the Android 4.2 derived OS will drag it down compared to an otherwise identical device with 4.4. I'm not entirely against Android forks but I'd want stock Android on a smartphone over any fork or even custom UI.

Also, Google hates forks and has moved a lot of their code away from core semi-open-source Android into closed source "apps and services", which harms forks in general. But to me that's ridiculous, if you didn't want forks, don't pretend you're all pro open source in the first place!
