I think current phone SoC's (the latest and greatest that is) are very much overkill for where the software and services are at. I'm still uneasy about how 1GB of RAM and 1.2GHz dual core will fare though. I think with Android 4.1+, it benefits greatly from having more than 1GHz of RAM. Not necessary, but it's noticeable for sure. Interesting to see how this pans out, and what the prices will be.

I feel like 4.3 basically lowered hardware req and would supposedly run on 512 without much problem. I'm not certain, though. I've seen a few 1GB devices released recently and thought 2GB was pretty much the standard, though. *shrugs*

This is basically why I finally upgraded my Motorola Droid Bionic to the Samsung Galaxy S5. I simply got tired of waiting for Motorola to put out a cutting edge phone. I got it on contract for $100 +fees.

Now this is obviously just my opinion, but as you can see, I am not the type to upgrade even once a year, so it absolutely felt worth it to me, to pay $100 for a really nice phone versus getting one for $0 +fees, that at the end of the day, probably wouldn't have felt like much of an upgrade at all.

It was Project Svelte, part or Android 4.4, which allowed the latest version of the OS to run on devices with 512 megs of ram. I own a Moto G and the thing is fast, responsive and cheap.

Nice marketing, but if you can't afford a smartphone now, you can't afford to keep any smartphone connected to the internet. Everyone knows you give away the razor and sell the blades.

lenovo built most of its phone with mediatek chip

So it looks like this will essentially be an SII with higher resolution and a thinner body, albeit with lack of removable battery and possibly SD card.
